A Whirlpool-owned brand, Maytag introduced a steam model in 2008 and will introduce a dishwasher-drawer model later this year. The company positions its products as durable, but its dishwashers have been relatively repair prone, according to our Annual Product Reliability Survey. Prices range from $300 to $900. |

Comment:
My model is 8 years old, but it does not compare with the quality of my old KitchenAid dishwasher. First, the plastic pieces started breaking, e.g. wheels, racks, and other interior parts. Even using the heating feature, it left the dishes wet. The final straw was when the hard water in my area ate a hole in the cheap plastic hose AND the motor, causing a major leak that ruined my wooden floors.<br /><br />The appliance repair person said these were poorly made outside of the U.S. I do NOT recommend any GE dishwasher for any use.

Comment:
I have had this stupid dishwasher since 2006. It is possibly the worst-made dishwasher EVER. What a lemon. The control panel has been replaced three times, and it just broke again. The repair person tells me this is commonplace and happens because the interior wires get steamed up. So I stopped using the drying function altogether. As if that would help. Then my dishes weren't being cleaned properly, and food particles were sticking to them. Then, the racks began to disintegrate. OK, Maytag. Enough is enough.

Comment:
Have had Maytag dishwasher 2 1/2 years. Key pad stopped working correctly - doesn't always start on the first try and different wash cycles no longer work. After reading some blogs on the internet - this appears to be a frequent problem with the push button controls and electronic circuit board with all Maytag dishwashers. The replacement cost of these two parts almost equals the cost of a new dishwasher - over $300.00 - not including labor. Stay away from Maytag.
