Low Frills, but Great Cleaning
on November 29, 2025

Verified Purchase:Yes
We recently had this Maytag dishwasher installed, to replace an old Whirlpool dishwasher that was around 20 years old.
One thing that I was a little disappointed with in the beginning is the instructions - there is very little there. Most of the information is on a quick-start guide that is the front and back of one page. The rest of the booklet that comes with the dishwasher is mostly warranty info and safety warnings.
This model doesn't have a lot of cycle options - there are Auto, Normal, and Quick wash cycles, with a PowerBlast option. There are are also High Temp and Sani Rinse modes, and Heated Dry can be set to Short, Long, or None. Auto is supposed to set the wash options for you, but it is not clear what kind of sensors it is using. It has always set the cycle to Normal with Short Heated Dry when I have pressed it.
I have so far run all washes on Normal with no Heated Dry. With the exception of two bowls on two different washes that came out still dirty, everything has come out of the new dishwasher clean, and in most cases it is already dry despite not using the heated dry option. I am very pleased with the cleaning performance and drying on the Maytag. With our old dishwasher we rinsed everything before putting it in and we no longer have to do that. We used to wash anything really dirty or large by hand, and even still some things would come out dirty from the old dishwasher. Plastic items also frequently came out wet from the old dishwasher, but I only have to towel dry items occasionally with the Maytag, and that is without using the heated dry option.
The cycles do take much longer than our old dishwasher - I think the Normal cycle usually takes around 2.5 hours. The Maytag is a little quieter than our old dishwasher, but it isn't silent - if you are in the same room you will hear it, and if you are in a nearby room without a door between you may be able to hear it there as well.
We got the model in black, and I think it looks nice. With the exception of the controls, a small screen, and the recessed handle, the front is smooth - even the Maytag logo is hidden on the top of the door until you open it. On the inside, the tub is stainless steel and there are two racks. The racks are coated metal and plastic. The utensil basket is solid plastic. You won't find any adjustable items in this one - no stemware holders or tines that fold down. The utensil basket lifts out and goes back in easily. One thing that I like is that it is much easier to put rinse aid into this dishwasher than my old one - someone finally made a design that is easier to pour into.
Overall, I think this dishwasher does a great job, and although it doesn't have a lot of features, I think it does the most important things at a reasonable price compared to the other options on the market.

Excellent Service

They brought the new washer and took the old one away. No problems. The delivery person I talked with was friendly and helpful and wore a mask (correctly!) the whole time.

These stainless-steel washing machine fill hoses are ideal for connecting most washing machines to hot and cold water.

Required Hoses
on February 15, 2022

Verified Purchase:Yes
It's a set of hoses that they used to hook up the water for my new washer. Unfortunately, Best Buy requires you to buy new hoses even if the old ones should still be fine. The washer works, and as far as I know they don't leak.

So Far, So Good
on February 15, 2022
Posted by: Brian
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had the washer for a little over a month. So far, everything is working fine and it is pretty quiet. My only complaint is that my previous Samsung washer had a feature that allowed you to save a set of settings as "my wash" and be able to set those at the touch of a single button. This washer does not have that, so when I use normal and want to turn the water temperature down I have to adjust the water temperature every time.

Competent Disc Player with a Few Flaws
on September 30, 2021
Posted by: Brian
Verified Purchase:Yes
I use the player for DVD and Blu-Ray playback only, so I can't speak to the streaming options.
The player was easy enough to set up on my wifi and has played the DVDs and Blu-Ray discs I have tried on it.
There are two reasons that I don't give this player 5 stars. When you start the player, it goes to a home screen. There is a spot there for a disc that you have in the player. When you get to this screen, if you have a disc already in the player, it will take around 10 seconds to recognize if a disc is present. During this 10 seconds, the home screen displays as if you have no disc in the drive and there is no indication that it is working on anything, unless you try to select the "no disc" icon, at which point it will ask you to wait. It would be nice if this time was not so long, or at least the home screen should give you a loading indicator instead of saying "no disc". Additionally, if you stop watching a disc partway through, the player will remember where you are, but only if you do not change discs. If you are partway through watching one disc and put in another disc, the player forgets where you were on the first disc. Other players around this price advertise that they remember the position on six discs, which seems like pretty standard functionality that has been in DVD players for decades.
