Product review (4 stars): WORKS GREAT BUT NEEDS EXTRA PARTS
This was a Consumer Reports Best Buy and, overall, has very high ratings on other sites. Once installed the dishwasher performed EXCELLENTLY- dishes came out clean & sparkling, and even has a "Sani-Rinse" cycle that sterilizes the dishes with high heat. Be forewarned, however. This dishwasher, like most, DOES NOT COME WITH A POWER CORD. You will have to remove the plug-in cord from your old one or buy another cord. Luckily, this is an easy fix & not too hard to install if you follow directions. However, the manual shows a 90 degree elbow fitting to attach to the water supply. THIS IS NOT INCLUDED. Supposedly Whirlpool, when they bought out Maytag, changed the entire water intake configuration so you have to buy this extra part from them for $14. I paid $2.98 at Home Depot. If you are using direct copper tubing for the water intake, you will also need a ferrule & nut kit (also at Home Depot, about $1.20). And chances are, it will still leak. Be advised the control panel is on the top of the door, facing up, so you can't see it unless you're next to it looking down.(Are the dishes clean?) It also comes with a handle (not shown in any of the pictures) you need to open the door, that may interfere with opening drawers at right angles near it. We've always had Kenmores, but I only paid $409.00 from Lowe's. Let's see how it holds up.

*ADDITIONAL INFO ADDED 15 MONTHS LATER: This dishwasher is still going strong, and the dishes are still coming out absolutley sparkling clean and completely sterilized. (I've acutally done home bacteria tests on baby bottles & silverware.) Because of performance, I changed rating from 3 to 4 stars.  Would have given it 5, but it still needs extra parts they don't tell you about, or overcharge you for.
