Do new vents allow dish washing smells into the home?

Hi,
For health reasons, I need a dishwasher with a venting system and a good seal so that no dish washing smell enter our house. My 20 old Kenmore Elete did that job with an active vent and a good seal.

I have called bosch kenmore sears frigidare ect and looked on line for 2 days now and have found that it seems the active vent is no longer used, but I have not been able to find out how dishwasher are vented now. Bosch said their vent does not close and it may put dish washing smells into our home.

This forum had the most information I could find.Do most of the new vents close during the wash cycle like the active vent did?

I would be most grateful if anyone would know how a dishwasher venting system works for a brand and suggest a
a dishwasher that would not add any smell to our home. I am able to pay up to $1,000. I also need stainless steel interior and exterior and sani rinse cycle.

I am most grateful for your help.
Sandy
