"Hot garbage, run"
I will not bug Maytag dishwashers in the future. I thought it was supposed to be a reliable brand. This thing leaked after only like a year, and got repaired twice. The filter is near impossible to clean properly. To even get TO the filter, you have to disassemble it, which is a huge pain. For the past 4 years I think my glassware on the top rack has come out dirtier than it went in, and requires hand washing afterward. The top rack is practically useless, and I’ve disassembled it to clean it a bunch of times, looking for an issue, which I don’t find. It’s now making a lot of noise, so clearly something is breaking, and we’ve had it and cleaned and maintained it for about 8 years (two years less than the estimated minimum life of a dishwasher). We’re replaced rollers on the racks. Not worth it. Parts are overpriced. To replace the filter section would be like $75. To fix the noise the parts alone would probably be like $200. Just not at all worth any money in my opinion. Huge waste.

"Amazing Maytag dishwasher"
I couldn't be happier with my Maytag Dishwasher purchase. It is a Maytag - 24" front control built-in dishwasher with stainless steel tub, dual power filtration, 50 dBa - stainless steel. It is quiet, cleans wonderfully, uses little water but is yet effective in its cleaning power. What is especially great is that the top rack has a lot of room on the top, so I always load something bigger on top of glasses, like a strainer, big salad bowl, etc. It still comes out clean although it's kind of double loaded. The bottom rack has a lot of height as well, and I can load pots and pans. I pop in a pod and my rinse section is always loaded, so I don't have water spots at all. I have to point out that it doesn't have a ton of functions but it's more than enough for me. I Don't need fancy cylcles... Quick, normal, extra dry, etc. Absolutely happy with my purchase, and can definitely recommend. My previous Maytag was 20 years old and still going strong but I upgraded to a stainless steel interior and more efficient type.

"Maytag Dishwasher a Lemon!"
I bought a Maytag dishwasher in 2013. To date (2020) it has had three breakdowns, the last two barely a year apart. Last time the repairs cost upwards of $400, and it's showing the exact same symptoms now. Maytag refuses to pay for repairs or exchange the unit because it's "too old." And it took me four weeks to get that verdict from customer service despite repeated emails and phone calls. With the last phone call, I was on hold for 55 minutes before getting a human on the line. I'd received an email telling me that my case had been forwarded to the product exchange team, but two weeks later I was told on the phone that there was no record of that. Meanwhile I've had to wash our Thanksgiving dishes and many others by hand. (I am disabled and this is a strain for me.) I will never buy a Maytag appliance again!

"Do not make them like they used to"
I had my wonderful Maytag dishwasher for 15 years no problem except the racks rusted and could not stand up the plates. I looked everywhere in US and Can. for replacement racks but they would have cost me 1/2 the price of a new one. My new one is made cheap, cheap. I have never washed a dish by hand for 15 years but now each dish has to be washed prior to washing them. And 3 hours to wash seems a little over the top, then for items to come out dirty! What has happened to manufacturing like it used to be. I did not buy extra insurance because when you buy the item it should stand up for at least 10 years. So stuck with it.

"Bait and switch customer service"
As everyone has noted, the control panel is no longer working after owning this machine for 26 months. I called Maytag this morning to get a price on service. They told me I could buy a service plan for $288 but it was good for today only. They could not tell me the cost of service. Gave me an account number to reference when I call back for the service plan. After research and finding the class action law suit in CA for the control panel issue and another number set up just for this issue, I called. I was told that a service tech would need to determine if the control panel issue is due to the cable ribbon failure and still could not tell me the cost of that service. Was told they would schedule a tech to look at the machine. The tech would call with the cost of the service. Spoke to the tech that afternoon and the cost for him to look at the panel was $200. I explained the service plan to him for earlier and he said to have Maytag contact him with the authorization. But guess what! When I called Maytag back to get the service plan, I was told that because I spoke with the tech, I am no longer eligible for a service plan. This is bait and switch. The made a promise then took it back just because I took the time to investigate the issue and the cost. Do not fall for the TV ads. Maytag is the worst company. That would include Whirlpool as well as they are once company.

"True to Their Ads"
My kitchen was remodeled in 2005 and the built-in dishwasher I had at that time was over twenty years old. My contractor told me it should be replaced. The local appliance store, from which I always purchased GE appliances, did not have any at the time, so I purchased the Maytag, which was the first Maytag appliance I have ever owned. Over the past six years the machine needed no repair and has always worked properly and efficiently. I have no complaints about it at all. I like the fact that there is a space on one side of the top rack that holds stemmed glasses. The other factor I like is that it is a whole lot quieter than the other dishwashers I have owned. When I first got it, I used to return to the kitchen occasionally to check if the machine was operating because it was so quiet I couldn't hear it, while the other dishwashers I've had were much louder. The dishwasher has two options on it, rinse only and sanitize, that I don't use regularly but that are definitely handy when needed. For instance, if a dish is used to feed a feral cat in the neighborhood I would use sanitize, or if I needed to wash a shelf of clean but dusty dishes that aren't regularly used, I would use the rinse only option. I would recommend this machine or one by the same manufacturer to my friends and family, as I am very happy with its performance, style and efficiency.

"My Dishwasher is Frustrating"
I had the Maytag Jetclean Plus dishwasher installed in my kitchen about 8 months ago. The design of the washer looks nice and went well with my the decor of my kitchen. I did not foresee the complications and frustrations I would have with my dishwasher. If I had, I would have certainly chosen another model. Loading and unloading the dishes from the unit is fine. The washer gets the items clean, but fails to completely dry them. Every time I unload the dishes, I have to hand dry all the cups and bowls with a towel. I have tried all the variety of settings on the machine, but have failed to find one that sufficiently dries all of the dishes. I would definitely not recommend this model to a friend. The brand is fine for the most part. I have owned other models before without issue, until the Jetclean Plus.

"Crappy Dishwasher"
We got the dishwasher with our house. Yah for us we didn't have to go buy one, I thought. We've lived in this house for about 3 years. The buttons on the front broke quickly, know we can't use pre-rinse. I love the fact I can through it all in there and then I'm done. My love ends there. You can't put glasses on the top shelf; you really need to wash them in a separate load or they won't come clean. My brother is a plumber so when it went down a few months back he fixed it quick. When it was draining the water, it would fill my sink up! What the crap?? I do not recommend this brand!

"Maytag dishwashers are the best all around."
I have a maytag dishwasher. I have owned it for five whole years. It's very simple to use. It's very time mannerable. It gets the job well done without any special products involved. I like that it holds alot of dishes and still able to clean them all. I sometimes add a little bit of bleach while washing. So far, I have not had to buy any replacement parts or do any work to it. If I had to buy another dishwasher, I would definitely purchase the Maytag brand. I would definitely recommned this product to anyone, anywhere. I have used other brands of dishwashers, and none of them have held up this long. It's priced reasonable. It's easy to find. It's easy to install. It's easy to keep clean. It looks nice in my kitchen. I absolutely love it. This is perfect for the ladies who enjoy washing dishes so much. I myself am one of them. I always put my dishes in hot soapy water, soak them for about ten minutes, then without any scrubbing they go directly into the dishwasher and come out sparkling clean. If you are looking for a dishwasher, I strongly recommend Maytag.

"I Love My Maytag Dishwasher"
I've owned my Maytag dishwasher for two years now. It was a great investment. I love the fact that my dishes always come out clean. I also love how quiet my dishwasher is when it's running. The racks inside are designed perfect for easy loading and unloading. It was also exceptionally easy to install. My favorite thing about it is the amount of energy used. I barely notice it on my electric bill aswell. The service warranty is great too, even though I have yet to need a repair. I have recommended it to two of my friends and my parents. My parents bought the exact model as me and they are happy with theirs aswell. If I ever move I would definatley leave the dishwasher as an appliance for the new owner and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase a new one for my new home. Maytag makes the best dishwashers in my opinion and I will never choose another brand for one.

"Satisfied Customer Gives Thumbs Up for Maytag"
We purchased this dishwasher in December of 2010. So far, we have been most satisfied! Maytag did a wonderful job with this dishwasher. It has a stainless steel interior and is so easy to keep clean. The exterior is the stainless finish, as well, and looks really nice in our kitchen. Wipes clean, very easily. It is also compliant with energy star, and the estimated yearly operating cost is only $32.00 with an electric water heater, and $25.00 with a natural gas water heater. The only negative regarding this machine is the residue left under the soap dispenser in the bottom of the dishwasher, but that is simply a matter of wiping up after emptying it. We have not had to have any repairs, so far, and based on the job it is doing now, I don't anticipate any problems. I would buy this same product again and I would without a doubt recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable and nice looking dishwasher.

"My Maytag Dishwasher is Excellent"
I am pleased to report that after seven years of owning my Maytag brand dishwasher, it has reported no flaws and i can honestly say that it is probably the best dishwasher one could possibly own. I very much like how fast it washes the dishes and in the process, does a wonderful and effective job at cleaning the dishes. The only thing I dislike about this dishwasher is that it will unfortunately not last forever. I'm especially glad that I've never had to repair or replace my Maytag brand dishwasher. If i had to choose between a number of different dishwashers to purchase, I know that I would for sure choose the Maytag brand dishwasher that I have right now. This is a wonderful product, and I would recommend it to anyone whether it be family or friends.

"Maytag Super Capacity Plus III Offers Amazing Cleaning Power"
I previously had a bad experience with an automatic dishwasher and always cleaned my dishes in the sink by hand. This dishwasher came with the home I purchased six years ago and after three years of not using it, I finally decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised by how well it operated. First, it is very easy to use. There is a compartment on the inside of the door where you can place a dishwashing pellet. You then close the compartment. After loading up all your dishes, you can then securely close the door and start the cycle operation. You can barely hear a humming sound as it cleans. Our kitchen is adjacent to the living room and you can't hear it at all if you have the television turned on. The dishes are cleaned very well. I've rarely had to go back and try to clean something by hand. Because of the large capacity, the unit can accommodate lots of pans and dishes. It is perfect for after a big dinner such as on Thanksgiving when you really don't feel like doing much. I'm very happy about this unit and there really isn't anything that I dislike about it. No repairs or service has been needed yet. In the future, I will definitely stick with the Maytag super capacity models.

"Consumer Review of Maytag Dish Washer"
I have owned my Maytag dish washer for about five years. There are many things that I like about it. It has been used daily and is very reliable. My dish washer has a high temperature setting and gets very dirty dishes clean. I like the fact that we can put our baby's bottles in and the washer not only cleans but sanitizes them. Also, I like the fact that the washer's trays are easy to slide in and out of the machine. I do not dislike anything about our Maytag dish washer. It makes life so much easier for my wife and I. We have never had to repair or replace any part of the machine. I would without a doubt recommend this machine to a friend. It has been a really reliable time-saver for us. Having to wash baby bottles by hand is no fun task. Our Maytag dish washer makes it much easier.

"Terrible Dishwasher"
I bought this dish washer only two or so weeks ago and I absolutely hate it. It worked awesomely for the first week, but it started to have many problems after the 1st week. It doesn't clean at the high pressure that was promised, the drying cycle is terrible, and you can't get anything done with it. However, the service plan that was included was quite nice. They got someone to our house almost immediately to fix it because apparently this was a quite common problem (though we found that comment very disturbing). The guy fixed it and it ran beautifully for another week or so but then it happened again, which ticked me off immensely, so we called them again. The same stuff happened again, and it ran for another week or so, but it broke outright this time, so we just called and asked for our money back. DONT RISK IT! DONT BUY THIS PRODUCT!

"I love this dishwasher!"
I have owned my Maytag JetClean Plus Built-In Tall Tub Dishwasher in Stainless Steel dishwasher for 5 years, ever since I moved into my home. I love it! I've never had issues with left-on residue like I have had with other dishwashers. I just load it, close it, leave it, and my dishes are sparkling clean when the cycle is over. The only problem I have ever had with it is that the door used to stick a little; my youngest daughter slammed it shut very hard when we first had her put her own dishes away, and we had to get the door fixed. However, this happened within a year after buying the dishwasher, so the warranty covered it. The repairmen were extremely nice and professional; I would not mind having something else go wrong with my dishwasher! I would definitely purchase this model of Maytag if anything bad were to happen to my current one though, and I would certainly buy another one if we decided to move. I would also recommend it to friends, and I have done that in the past - my friend needed a new dishwasher, I recommended my Maytag, and she loves it! Thanks Maytag!

"Portable Maytag Dishwasher (USED)"
My roommates and I found this dishwasher on Craigslist. It was used and about 3 years old the owner said. The owner gave us a pretty good deal on it and it looked like it was in very good shape. We checked all the parts and made sure it worked and took it home. We have had it for one month now and it has worked perfectly. The only downfall is the part where you have to hook the hose up to the faucet and are not allowed to use the sink until the dishes are done. I like how quick the cycles are and I enjoy that it has a pots and pans cycle even though it is very small inside. I would definitely recommend this dishwasher to other people and to friends. I would especially recommend getting it used like we did as portable dishwashers are not very common but are less wasteful than other ones.

"Awesome dish washer!!"
I have owned the Maytag Jet Clean Dishwasher for 4 months now and I think it is the best dishwasher I have ever used. I recently redid my kitchen and wanted all stainless steel appliances. I found this Maytag and though it was perfect it stainless still look makes for a clean looking kitchen. I have had many dishwashers in the past and they were so noisy that I had to wait until I went to bed to run the dishwasher. I love how quiet this dishwasher is that I can watch a movie in the living room without having an annoying noise in the back ground. I also like that it is very easy to use and you don't have to scrub your dishes before putting them in the dish washer. My dishes come out clean and spot free. I think the only negative thing to this dishwasher is if you don't put the bowls in just right they flip over and collect water but that happens with every dish washer. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

"Shh! Quiet Dishwasher"
We bought our Maytag Quiet 200 Series about three years ago. This dishwasher is a hardworking appliance for a busy family. We average 1.5 loads per day. We are yet to have a repair. I like it because of the quiet, soothing sound as it runs, and that the wheels and rollers are still good after so much usage. we bought it from Home Depot, Rome, Georgia.
