Ratings & Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by GollyGee from Great performance! But top mount controls? IN the Spring of 2018 we bought 3 appliances in anticipation of renovating our home. In November we were finally able to receive and install the appliances.(To tell the truth I had forgotten what the machine looked like and that the controls were on the top of the door.) The first two times I used the machine the soap failed to dissolve and I began to regret my decision. However it was not the machine but the fact that the water to it was off. I love how quiet the machine is and its performance, but given the counter overhang on my island I am not sure I would purchase a top control again.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Unimpressed & Frustrated from Nothing but problems A couple months into owning this dishwasher it started leaking. The door was not sealing properly because the top rack did not fully go back causing it to break the seal during a wash cycle. A problem with the design of the dishwasher so the parts were covered in a recall. We had the parts replaced so the rack actually fit properly into the dishwasher. A year later, the left side of the top rack has broken off. It appears where the rack was attached to the sliding mechanisms has completely snapped off. Looks as if where it was connected it possibly rusted apart. Not even two years old and this appliance continues to disappoint just as much as the matching fridge. Thought we were buying a quality product and have been sadly mistaken.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Alexander111111 from Great Features Purchased the dishwasher last month. We have used the several times already and is working great. Very quiet and does a great job cleaning the dishes. We like the racks and holds a lot more dishes and utensils.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Great dishwasher from Very quiet and super clean dishes We were thrilled with how quiet the dishwasher is! Love the adjustable top rack. Easily fits lots of dishes or large items. Many different cycles and I like the timer that shows how long it will take.

Rated 1 out of 5 by cod1 from Worst appliance experience of my life! Great when it works but... Had this for not quite two years. Door leaked in the first month of use. Fixed under warranty. Online search suggests this is a common problem. Recently failed again - won't start. Told the control panel needs replacing. One month after breakdown we are still "waiting for the part". This machine has been an exercise in frustration. Also worth noting that a Maytag fridge and range purchased at the same time both needed repair in their first year.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dayfish from Amazing machine, would recommend Bought it in late January, got it installed a week back and it's doing wonders to be quite honest. Cleans super well, is quiet and looks sleek.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dukedog from Sparkling Dishes at the Push of a Button! I have been the happy owner of a new Maytag dishwasher for just over two weeks. The power dry option is awesome and well worth the additional money for this particular model. The dishes are totally dry and perfectly clean - no small undertaking for the sheer number of challenging dishes created by my busy active family, who never seem to remember to rinse their plates! I couldn’t be happier with my new dishwasher and have recommended it already to family and friends.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dumaishouse from Always Clean Dishes! I bought this this summer, I did not need it, we just wanted all our brands to be the same. Our previous dishwasher came with the house. My husband wanted everything to match so we bought this one. Easy to load, lots of room, and I swear dishes are clean 99% of the time and that 1% is cause kids load it! Couldn’t be happier with our dishwasher! It does the job so I don’t have to!

Rated 4 out of 5 by pademo57 from Really Quiet As the example says I bought this dishwasher 1 month ago and so far it has worked wonderfully. I haven't had to use the PowerDry yet because everything has come out clean almost. With the exception of a couple of things. However, I found if I moved those items to different locations in the dishwasher it worked perfectly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Marie75 from Great Cleaning This dishwasher is replacing another brand I had for a little over a year. I was sceptical after dealing with the other brand if the “ new “ dishwashers could deliver. I am very happy with this Maytag. It cleans, it is very quiet and the controls are designed and located in the right place.
