Product review (5 stars): Very good dishwasher
We have had this dishwasher for a little less than a year. I researched for quite sometime looking for a great value, low cost, and great reviews. It seems that combination is very hard to fine. We used this washer to replace a GE washer, which replaced a GE washer. Each of the prior GE washers lasted only about 4 years, and they started having problems about a year into their use. I am not one to spend a lot on a washer. Good appliance like this should be available for less than $500. This one has been great. It cleans well, it's quiet, it cleans really good, it's a good looking appliance, and did I meniton that it cleans great. There was a challenge in the install where there is one unique plumbing part that I had to buy. Which I understand is common now with most washers. It's the brass part that connects from the water line in, to the washer. Why Maytag can't just charge $5 more for the machine and include it is beyond my understanding. That aside, I am very pleased with this so far.

Update 11/22/2012 - after a year and a half....still love it. I read some of the bad reviews, and sure there are some little things with the racks that are odd, but over all, it cleans well, is very quiet, and works.
