Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Garbage dishwasher

9/26/2016

Bought this dishwasher 3yrs ago and the control panel went out. Repairman said it would cost $450.00 to repair. Might as well but another one.

Worst Ever

4/4/2016

This is the worst Maytag product I ever purchased. No wonder it has been discontinued. Less that two years old and it has corroded ribbon wire in control panel. No more Maytags for me

Very disappointed with this dishwasher.

kaymehr 10/5/2015

A little over 2 years ago we refinished our kitchen and bought all new appliances. Until recently we were very happy with our Maytag dishwasher, but it mysteriously just stopped working one day. The frustrating thing about this is we only use the dishwasher when we have company, about once a month, so it has been used less than 40 times. In my opinion, that is still new condition. The last time I used it the cycle was completed, but the start light kept blinking, and it would not turn off. We could not get the dishwasher to start again, except to drain. We called a Maytag recommended repair service, and he could not fix the problem. This service call cost $99. He said the part and labor would cost over $500, which is about what we paid for the machine. (My impression was that this guy didn't really know what he was doing). Strangely enough, about 10 minutes after he left the dishwasher started running on it's own. It went through a whole cycle, but then afterwards the same problem was still present, a continually blinking start light, and no way to actually start the machine. Needless to say, I'm very dissatisfied with this product and the recommended service company.

No more maytag dishwasher 8/23/2015

It was good while it was working but less than 2 full years the control panel is on the fritz not letting me choose all the wash options...only option is to get a repair man and replace the panel for $300..sorry just going to replace it.

Great, Quiet Washer

JKattman 5/1/2014

Great, quiet running dishwasher. I have well water that is high in Iron so and I put a small cup of vinegar inside and the dishes come out "Hand Washed" clean. Our old dishwasher was 12 years old and our new Maytag is a much, much better machine. My only complaint is that there is not much room for bowels and such in the racks.

Wet Dishes at completion

abc123 11/18/2013

My expensive Dishwasher delivers wet dishes every time.I am always reluctant to unload the dishes because of the added work in drying each item inside.Before now, I thought highly of Maytag products until this Dishwasher. It's draining to think of it.....

11/17/2013

This dishwasher replaced a very old model. We have been so happy with the performance of this dishwasher. It has a lot of features we don't use but it's nice to know they are there. One feature we love is that the top rack drops down so our large water bottles fit! It is quiet also, not silent but quiet enough that it doesn't bother us.

Kateko 11/12/2013

This dishwasher has a great design and looks good in my kitchen. It can be turned on at any time as it is very quiet and does not disturb anything going on in the house It does an EXCELLENT JOB IN CLEANING DISHES. GLASSES SIVERWARE AND ANY POTS I HAVE PUT IN IT. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a new dishwasher!! It also is an energy saver compared to my old one.

It washes dishes for the most part, but it doesn't seem to dry well no matter what settings we select. The jet dri stuff did seem to help, but it still leaves spots.

Shooter5 10/30/2013

I have had this dishwasher for around 5 months and have no issues with the dishwasher other than it has actually faded and removed print off of some of my glasses. This doesn't really bother me because I'm just concerned with them being clean and if they were important glasses I would run it on a lighter setting or hand wash them.

I am very pleased with this dishwasher! It out performs the previous high end dishwasher that I had by far! The dishes are always clean, no water spots either! I am so happy with this product that I hope to purchase a new Maytag range in the near future! Another positive is that this product is made in the U.S.A!

PabloEscobar 10/29/2013

One of the best diswashers I have ever owned. It looks sharp, cleans better then any other and is easy to operate. There are two negatives: it is louder than I would like, but easily bearable, and it takes a long time for the dishes to finsh the drying process. Nothing that would make me turn anyone away from it.

Cleans well, interior room/design a bit cramped

Reviewer8675309 10/29/2013

I like the stainless steel tub and exterior and the dishwasher cleans well. However, the rack design holds less dishes than our previous dishwasher of the same interior dimensions, especially on the top rack. The run cycle constantly cycles water intake on and off, which is by design and saves water, but seems to cause frequent banging in the home pipes with each rapid water shutoff.

My husband and I switched from electric to gas with this range and we will never go back! Better, faster and more even cooking. The center girdle is great for Sunday breakfasts and warm sandwiches. It is easy to clean with everything coming apart simply and remaining simple to put back in place! We just can't say enough about this range!

Quiet, understated efficiency

Linny48 5/13/2013

Our home has an open floorplan and that coupled with my husband's declining hearing made the selection of our new dishwasher a very careful decision. One of the primary concerns was the noise that would occur when I ran it after dinner in the evenings. We carefully compared the decible levels listed on the dishwashers and cautiously made our selection. We have NOT been disappointed! The dishwasher not only met our expectations insofar as it's quietness, but surpassed my need for cleaning ability. I rarely use the 'normal' clean cylce finding it just as efficient using the 'quick clean' (shorter) cycle when I rinse the dishes. I am very pleased with this purchase.

xena95 5/8/2013

Replaced my old dishwasher that wasn't cleaning well after 15yrs. with this Maytag. I love the stainless steel tub! The top rack is adjustable for taller items to be placed below with still plenty of room above for tall glasses. I like that the plastic racks are under warranty for replacement as my old coated plastic racks were missing prongs and to replace the racks it was $150 each!Very quiet cleaning and dishes are clean. Loving it!

JBeckner 5/8/2013

We recently purchased a Maytag dishwasher, and it's the best purchase we've made in a long time. The number of features is incredible. We can use a short cycle, or long. Heated drying, or not. Regardless, the dishes come out perfect every time. I was so impressed with the noise level. I can't tell when I'm running it. The machine is so quiet. I would highly recommend this product to everyone. The black gloss finish is very elegant, and knowing it has stainless steele interior and great warranty helped us make our decision.

This is an amazing dishwasher. It is constructed of the finest materials. Not only is it extremely sleek and sexy design wise but its also super efficient functionally.
