Maytag - 24" Front Control Tall Tub Built-In Dishwasher with Stainless Steel Tub - Black

My old dishwasher was a cheap basic model that was not really installed correctly and so the sink tended to train into the dishwasher... ugh! When that unit started making weird clicking noises I decided it was time to upgrade. This unit was on sale and had excellent reviews, plus at the time had a special offer of free installation through Best Buy, so I decided to splurge. After about a month I am very happy with the unit! It seems to clean well and is not super-complicated to understand; I just load it, add detergent, and then push "normal wash," "sanitize," and "heated dry off," then "start," and then a few hours later the dishes are done. Also, the front door panel does not seem to show finger prints or splash marks. I was super happy with the delivery and installation provided by Best Buy; not only was it free, but the guy called ahead, was polite, and was super-competent: he installed and tested the unit -- and fixed the drainage problem without tearing up my kitchen cabinets -- in less than an hour and a half. He even left a phone number in case there was a problem that showed up later, but I have not needed to call. I am very happy with the purchase so far, and especially with the ease and quality of the delivery and installation service.

The Maytag - 24" Built-In Dishwasher - Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel Maytag Built-In Dishwasher:883049409122 is an excellent replacement for our older one. The stainless steel case and the quality of the two racks is excellent. It works great and has different cycle options for time saving or heavy cleaning. Both the Bestbuy online and in-store experiences for this item were great.

We are finding out how much we love Maytag! This dishwasher was truly needed and owning a Maytag was overdue! It's quiet, efficient and our dishes are spotless.....Thanks!

I don't have to prewash dishes with this Maytag dishwasher. Dishes come out sparkling clean even if peanut butter was left on a knife or pans were lefty with crusty residue prior to washing. Large items, such as crock pots, fit easily into the roomy bottom tray. The top tray has rows of varying heights so that even wine glasses can fit on the top rack. The motor runs extremely quietly. I was surprised that the auto setting is deemed the most energy efficient, even though it runs for over two hours. I just run the dishwasher at the end of the day, and I've kept it on the auto cycle. I would definitely buy this dishwasher again, and recommend it to others.

My 4 star rating is due to the first machine I received. The first one was dropped off rather quickly by the delivery team. They left quickly without opening the box to view the contents. I opened the box to find the dishwasher had been dented by the movers. The second one was delivered a week later and this time was inspected for defects. It was flawless in appearance and has worked perfectly since I installed it. I would recommend this washer to someone looking for a good washer at a reasonable price. Watch out for washers that do not have heating elements. They take a long time to dry dishes because they use the ambient air to dry for them. This one has a good element and will dry shortly after washing.

Current Dishwasher finally went out and wife and I went to Best Buy to find a great dishwasher replacement. We walked in straight to the dishwasher section and a lady greeted us and showed us the Maytag on sale that had free delivery and free installation. After looking at other dishwashers for 5 minutes wife chose the first one we looked at. Two men came and installed it in record time - so professional - we just love the Maytag we bought. Great experience all around. Thanks!

I've had much better luck going by the reviews of products by actual purchasers of the products rather than going by the consumer magazines. To be fair this dishwasher only received middling recommendations in the consumer mags which were in deep contrast to the reviews by actual users who were by and large immensely pleased with this model. So, we've only had it installed for a week and I can tell you I never expected it to perform this well. After seeing how good the initial results were in cleaning everything we intentionally put in dishes and bowls with baked on and dried up food which we didn't think there was any way the dishwasher could clean them. They had stuff on them that you'd really have to scrub at if you wanted to clean them manually. Nonetheless they came out perfectly clean! We were stunned to say the least. As far as sound is concerned, I have to say you can barely tell this thing is running, it's that quiet. Our old dishwasher you could hear all over the house. We could tell if it was running from our bedroom which is pretty far away from the kitchen. With this one there is no way we could here it running from our bedroom. As far as the time it takes to wash dishes is concerned, it's very much in line with what we've seen from other models, even the more expensive one. For us the time is not an issue. There is a 1 hour quick cycle which we could use if we wanted to. However we generally start the dishwasher before we go to bed and then unload it in the morning. So, the difference between it taking 1, 2 or even three hours is irrelevant. I was going to install it myself however Bestbuy offered free delivery and installation with this manufacturer at the time I purchased it. I was very impressed and happy with the installation. First of all I was only expecting one guy to show up. There were three. Second, they showed up exactly on time. Third, they installed it with great care, taking their time to fit it into the cabinet as best as possible and very carefully, making sure not to damage any part of the cabinet it fit into. Fourth, they were very fast and efficient. They were at my house for less that a half hour. Couldn't ask for more. More on the dishwasher itself, I'm very impressed with how much we can fit into it. I am also impressed by how well it dries. I don't see where anyone would be disappointed in this model. Perhaps others are looking for things we were not looking for. For example I find the notion of hidden controls to be rather irritating. Others may be looking for that feature and find it beneficial. Then there's the matter of it's price. This model is close to half the price of the dishwashers recommended by the consumer magazines. I've checked them out and don't see for our purposes what the advantage would be of spending close to twice the price for the consumer magazine recommended models. I highly recommend considering this model.

Ok, so I don't do reviews usually. I often go ignore them when the product is good but not great. I will review only if the item is amazing or horrible. Well this time is amazing! Our last dishwasher was outdated but only about 5 years old. Couldn't clean anything and was just loud. This one is quiet, very sleek looking and yes the finger prints don't show up. Great for our little ones who like to touch everything. Installing was a breeze and now for the best part. I don't care how caked on or crusted your pan is, it will clean. Within reason!! Don't throw a lasagna pan in there that has been sitting in the sink 3 weeks I mean be reasonable. However, I'd you just made brownies or a cake and the pan had been sitting a day crusted on, it will be spotless when remove. In the few months I have had this thing now, not a single dish has come out dirty. The auto cycle feature is great and the ways times are almost double my old unit but uses about the same amount of water maybe a little more but not much. I'll take longer cycle for never having to rewash another dish again.. No more scrubbing pans before loading. Use comon sense; rinse food off because its bad to have large food particles in there, don't pack the dishes so tight nothing can move and always read the owners manual for recommendations. Follow that and this will be the best dish washer under 500 you have ever seen. I promise!
