Maytag MDB7959SKZ vs Whirlpool WDT730PAHZ

The control panel is the most expensive part of the dishwasher, it is not covered by the 10 year parts warranty, and it was evidently not designed or built for long-term survivability. It can't be repaired because its design is proprietary. Since this two-year old dishwasher model is now obsolete (no doubt because it was poorly designed), so is the control panel!

Biggest complaint is that when it was delivered I was told installer would call to set up appointment within 1 hour and it took over two weeks and hours on the phone with Costco to get someone to do it. Installers would call me saying they would be here in an hour then never show up. Price good but I’m not sure it was worth the stress, frustration and effort I experienced

In fact, it's good. If you ask me a little too much friction, but maybe that goes away with time over here it has the pre-wash little spot here, soap ...

I have tried every setting that it has, hoping to find one that dries well. No luck. I am left with a pool of water in the bottom of the basin and dishes and glasses always come out damp and/or dripping. Any tiny little cupped area, like the bottom side of a mug for example, will retain as much water as it can hold

Hey all, so the research I’ve been doing says that the best washer seems to be a mechanical speed queen or Maytag. However, my partner and I have had nothing but trouble with agitators in terms of damage to our clothes. We don’t have kids, so we don’t have super frequent stains.

I am happy with the dish washer's performance. This model has some difficulties for me, not pointed out at purchase. I am older, so crouching down to clean the filter is difficult and I have to shine a flashlight into the rinse aid receptacle to see if it needs more added. Overall, the dishwasher does a great job and is easy to load and unload

The simpler, the better. I would avoid front loading washing machines as they tend to have many more issues with leaks and mold. I've always preferred top loading machines as they tend to have higher capacities and modern ones without an agitator work amazingly well. I have a Maytag high capacity top loader that we got about 3 years ago when we bought the house we are in now, its been a great machine

Love my dishwasher! So worried after having my old one 32 years!! So easy to load, super quiet & instructions were great!!
