Mine has 3 settings - water miser, china and glass, and pots and pans.
The water miser setting does a good job nevertheless, if ya don't let
em sit for days.

All true. The only things I'll add is that a stainless steel interior
is important, plastic schtinks, and to buy from a local dealer that
services what they sell. I bought my Maytag from Sears and paid them
for delivery, installation, and took away the old one, don't remember
the amount but it seemed reasonable, I think like $50, they did an
excellent job setting it up... the service tech insisted I purchase
the new hose kit ($40, free installation), glad I did because the old
hoses were about to burst... almost ten years and I've never needed
service. I think it's difficult to compare how well a dishwasher
cleans, too many user variables; how loaded and how filthy the dishes,
type of cleaning compound, water softness, etc. I have no complaints
with my Maytag.
 
why did you install two dws? Lee

My four year old Maytag was doing the same! Called the repairman and
he told me that it was "shot" and to replace it since the motor
repairs would cost more than a new machine. Have you noticed the
Maytag repairman ad is NOT on TV any longer....there is a reason.

My new Bosch is quiet and efficient. I am fortunate to have two
Bosch dishwashers installed on either side of my sink, along with my
Bosch laundry duo.

The dishwasher before this one was just fine, but the wheels kept
breaking off the drawers. It was a major PITA.

Armstrong hardwood. I looked at pergo and other laminate but decided on
hardwood with an additional coat of poly to protect from kitty puke. The
guy at the flooring said they have carpets with lifetime guarentees and
the only time they couldn't clean a stain happened twice - both kitty
puke. It's a toxic hazard you know.

There's more to wanting them than that. It's like having two small
dishwashers and better when it's just two people since we don't put
our pots and pans in there and often have to wait days before running
it.

Those are good ideas, Susan. I've been buying my major appliances from
the same local dealer (six stores in the metro area) for years and have
always been pleased with service. When my microwave crapped out some
years back, we went to a nearby (and smaller) place and picked up a new
one that was delivered and installed the next day.

I don't remember why I settled on the Maytag for my dishwasher and
washer and dryer but I've been very happy with all of them.


Good story. I like to support the locals when I can.

I run my dishwasher only once a week, but I rinse the dishes before
loading them. There is never dried on food. I handwash pots and pans.
I've never experienced a stink from rotting drying food in the
dishwasher and they always wash properly. But, this is a lot more work
than I want to do all the time.

I like the idea of drawers.

Might be Whirlpool...but I saw a NEW Kenmore this weekend at a friends
condo and it is definitely a Bosch. Same controls and front panel as
my four month old Bosch.

We had KA dishwashers for many years. In the late 90's our quit and
when we went to my favorite appliance store, they suggested against KA
since it had be taken over by Whirlpool. So we bought a Bosch and it
worked so well. And quiet. DH would come into the kitchen to unload
the machine while it was still running. When we moved I listened to
the Maytag from the other end of the house for about a week. The next
trip to VA we bought a new Bosch and DH installed it. I love this
model from 2004 because of the versatility with loading and weird
sized pots and pans. Since I do a lot of preserving I like that I can
put large pots in it and I use the top rack only for washing my
canning jars. DH is very handy and I like that I can order parts,
water pump one time and pieces for the racks.

After checking on the features and reliability the next thing to do is
to look at how you would load your dishes into it. Maybe even take a
few pieces and see if they will fit. If you put your pots and pans
into a dishwasher, take a couple of them to see.

For the price of any of the drawer types, you can get two decent normal
dishwashers to ping-pong between euro style, and still have money
leftover. I'm a single person and have no problem running a normal sized
dishwasher regularly, usually every other day. If you're cramped for
space, that's a different issue.

Oh so true! I've recently been shopping for new appliances and asked the guy
at the wholesale appliance place about the drawer kind. I also looked at the
one they had on the floor. He says he doesn't think they are a particularly
good idea. Although they might allow you to do a smaller amount of dishes
more economically, they aren't as flexible with big stuff. He doesn't think
they are worth what I gather is a premium.

The other DW fact I gleaned is that all of the dishwashers that include a
thingy to hold stemware are substantially more expensive. That's a feature
that's not worth $100-200 to me, personally. Better to continue using
cheaper wine glasses that can take their chances in the DW and continue to
wash the crystal by hand!

I'm that way too! My everyday dishes are something most people today
consider company china and My everyday glasses are those French style
"thumbprint" tumblers in all sorts of sizes. They are not exactly a
matched set because I bought them individually, but they fit our needs
at the time.

I got a cheap G.E. Why G.E.? That's what my other appliances are and I
wanted them to match. Why cheap? Because I rarely use mine. My only
concern was where the flatware goes. I have seen some models where it goes
in the top. I know some people here like that, but I didn't think I would.
My only beef is that due to the design of the top basket and its proximity
to the bottom one, I can not use the flatware compartment for my longer
kitchen tools such as mixing spoons and pancake turners. But they do fit
flat in the top and they don't fall through.

According to this page-
http://www.appliance411.com/purchase/sears.shtml
If the model number [on the tag] starts with a 110 or 665 it is a
Whirlpool-- 630 makes it a Bosch; 363 is GE; 461 is a Shunde Midea
Mfg. (?); 465 is a Maytag; C110 is an Inglis; C363 is Camco; 587 DM
(Frigidaire).

I don't know how far back you'd need to go for some of those- or if
they are regional. But it is interesting that there are *that* many
Sears DW manufacturers.
