Maytag - 24" Top Control Built-In Stainless Steel Tub Dishwasher with 3rd Rack, Dual Power Filtration, 47 dBA - Black

After returning lemon GE DW we went with this Maytag. My dh & I both had the $1200 Bosch when we combined our households. The Bosch racks are not user friendly & we both had repairs and poor washing experience. My Fisher Pykel was worse. I wasn't thrilled about having a "low end" Maytag in my kitchen. Boy was I wrong! This is a work horse with a third rack (see picture.) We are both cooks & use tons of greasy dishes & silverware daily. We've never used the heavy duty cycle; haven't needed to. Everything is sparkling. It's super quiet & the third rack allows so much capacity. Mid-range cost with top tier (lol, 3 tiers) performance! Six months & not one complaint. Love this dishwasher!

our home originally had a 20 yr old maytag dishwasher in it when we moved in almost 4 yrs ago..fast forward a yr or so later we decided to purchase a Samsung 5650 disher which was discontinued after we purchased it and was a nightmare for entire time we owned it of almost 2 yrs..finally was granted a replacent and was in search of new one.. After doing some homework and looking at dishwashers at local retailer near us my daughter had pointed out a kitchen aide model that looked really good..unpon doing comparisons and who made what..decided on this dishwasher because of it functions and cleaning capability...it happened to be same model as kitchen aide priced $250 more and made at same place in Ohio as kitchen aide n whirlpool just with the lower price tag n maytagvname to it.. THIS DISHWASHER IS SUPER QUITE! Cleans well n efficiently n has a ton of space to cut down on amount of times you have to run ur machine each week..Dishes n silverware come out sparkling clean no residue left behind..hubby n i are super happy with replacement purchase n hubby said i did my homework well.. Whirlpool makes Maytag n Kitchen Aide as well their own brand of whirlpool dishwashers and are all rated amongst top 10 of consumers picks for dishwashers on youtube..remember to support the men n women who build these appliances for us proudly here in the USA.. Very Very pleased with purchase!!!

This Maytag dishwasher which I've had for almost a year, is great overall! Love the 47dBA--it is so quiet you pretty much just hear minor shifting noises. This was important since its location in the kitchen is also right outside a bedroom! The top third rack really does come in very handy for low profile bowls, containers, lids and utensils. Racks are well-designed and the flatware holder removes for ease in putting them away. It cleans super, super well! Using a regular cycle is all you usually need, and it gets dried on food remnants clean with ease (I do scrape or rinse before putting in, but I don't wash every day). I once used the PowerBlast feature for dishes and one baking dish with dried on, baked on sauce that would have been a nightmare by hand---came out spotless!!! You can see time remaining when it's running. I do have to hand wash some mugs with designs that faded when put in the dishwasher, but I think that's normal. The racks are height adjustable which is nice. The only poor design flaw that is annoying is that when you unload you have to start at the bottom and go up because the top rack holds a lot of water in itself (not in the dishes) which splashes on the dishes below. Also, I feel like some items (maybe 1-2 a load) hold water and don't dry as well as the 15-year-old Maytag this replaced, but they spend some time in the sink drying rack which is a fine trade-off for all the pros of this item! The delivery service at the time (Best Yet Installations) was horribly rude and ignorant --argued with me about the filtration feature even though the unit has a sticker on it about it ("No dishwashers have that") and didn't leave a voice mail because "it's 2022 nobody leaves VM" but they also didn't TEXT when they were on their way and the phone call didn't go through on my phone which I showed him and he still argued with me. Luckily, I was home. They did the install though and no problems from the actual work that has come up, but they need a little training in customer interaction skills. And then gave me his card to do other plumbing work--HAHAHAHA!

We purchased this dishwasher to replace our current one after the pump motor failed, and I now see the value in a non-plastic tub and third rack. Normally I am pretty skeptical of a lot of features in modern appliances because they seem either gimmicky, designed to break or need service. In the case of this Maytag that doesn't appear to be the case with all of its features being both useful and functional. For example the third rack is honestly a game changer, being able to load flatware, and even things like tongs and small bowls saves so much space for other dishes in the second rank and in the silverware basket. Which helps avoid the issues caused by longer items being the basket, which can block the spray arms from spinning. Overall the dishwasher cleans very well, the brief selection of cycles is more than enough - and I typically only run quick cycles anyway. Most glassware is dry even after an hour wash, with only plastics remaining damp, which is more of an issue with the material not the dishwasher. Installation was mostly painless too, my only complaint being that the water inlet is made of plastic and most hook ups use metal so you can run the risk of easily misthreading onto the plastic and damaging the threads. I highly recommend this if you are in the market for a new dishwasher!

I like the dishwasher when it actually cleans properly. It is advertised as not needing to soak, scrub, or rinse dishes but I am finding that to be false advertising. I have only had the dishwasher about a month. I usually soak items before moving to the dishwasher but I decided to test it by not soaking as usual the last couple of loads. It doesn't clean well if not soaked first. It leaves food and residue behind. Whatever is left behind is baked on by the heated dry cycle. I have not had any issues with the heating part like some reviewers.. I haven't even needed to try the longer dry cycle because the short one works so well. I wish it cleaned without soaking as advertised. I have tried my usual Cascade Platinum Plus and the recommended Finish Ultimate but both left it less than clean for un-soaked items. I like having the top rack but the tray for utensils on the right side doesn't let them get items cleaned as well as the side with no tray. Maybe the tray doesn't allow enough water flow. Yesterday after removing a roast from a crock pot I waited a few hours to load it in to the dishwasher. I did not rinse, soak, or scrub and it left a white residue and particles all on the interior of it. It was placed on the bottom rack to the back of the wash tub. It was on the PowerBlast cycle with short heat dry cycle. Water is plenty hot at nearly 140 degrees before it enters the dishwasher to be heated even more. There is no reason this should not be clean. It also wouldn't remove dry scrambled egg from a small skillet. Particularly where the handle attachments are on the inside of the skillet. I am a bit disappointed. Too late to return but would be too much trouble anyway. I guess I will have to go back to soaking dishes before washing, which is unfortunate. I was hoping to not have to do that any longer. I am putting "No" for "do you recommend" in this review since it is required. If pre soaking wasn't needed I would give this 4 or 5 stars and recommend. Otherwise, I would love it because it seems well made, dries well, and is very quiet, and can fit more items with 3 racks with one being adjustable. That is very handy.
