An Amazing Dishwasher!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

Support Maytag!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!!!

Excellent dishwasher!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

Quiet, Cleans Very Well!
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

This is the one for us!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was put off by Bosch’s racks lack of flexibility for the dishes we use. And then I saw this Maytag. Wow. Three racks, lots of options, and the third rack is deeper than others! It is so quiet that I barely know it’s running. Love the front light indicating it is running or it’s done. We are really pleased with this dishwasher. The Maytag I had was at least 25 years old and I was happy to replace it with a Maytag. Actually, this is the third Maytag I’ve purchased in my life, the first one in 1981.

False Advertising-Pre Soaking Needed To Clean
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Love this dishwasher!
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this dishwasher! Have had it for 9 months now with no issues. We originally planned to get a Bosch and it was slightly too big for our opening so pivoted and got this one. Extremely happy with the flexibility of the racks and quantity of dishes I can fit in it! Love the mug wash which I use for any small cups/bowls. Top rack can move up or down depending on size of items. Very quiet! Family members who don't know it's running have opened it while its running because they didn't hear it! Totally happy with this purchase!

Good buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This dishwasher is better than my old samsung. I love the 3rd rack which is really helpful for spoon, utensil and small glasses. Powerwash circle is very strong and multiple dry option. Good option for delay start. Good thing، noise is very less as compare to other. Looks like a scracth ressistance as well.

Quiet Storm
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have only had Maytag 47 dba for 1 week, so far, it cleans the dishes very well, however, I am still reading through all the instructions. I have not been able to get it to dry the dishes well. This model is very quiet when it is on, I am very glad I went with the 47 dba.

Nice Dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice dishwasher. I love that I can adjust the second rack up or down. The reason why I give a four star is bc it doesn’t dry as well as I wanted it to. I have to make sure to open the dishwasher once is finished to make sure the dishes will be completely dry before putting them away. Also it would be nice to add “Heat dry long” to Quick cycle.

Great purchase!!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This dishwasher is QUIET! I used to have a Bosch 300 in my other house and I can say this Maytag is much better. The Bosch was louder and the glasses didn’t fit well on the 2nd rack. When I moved, the existing dishwasher has a plastic tub so I immediately replaced it with this one. The middle rack on the Maytag tilts the glasses perfectly. And as I mentioned it’s quiet and beautiful. I love that the seemless look without buttons on the front and it does keep fingerprints off!

Fabulous!!!! Pictures show dirty dishes but...
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fabulous. I was worried it might get stinky if I only run it when full; living alone that can be up to 9 days between washing. No smells ever! I never believed dishes could sparkle, no joke. My big Fiestaware fits pretty well and negotiating the two drawers with some tweaking we are now in business. Flatware holder is great. 2nd drawer for glassware is fine, although I'd like to "put one more in" alas, I'm settled with it. The 3rd rack is a dream. Fill it with mugs down the middle and all kinds of weird items and 100% happy. Almost silent, in my little 900 SF house. So glad i got it worth every penny.
