I feel I must comment on this dishwasher. I had a Maytag made Jennaire TOL dishwasher I bought from Circuit City when they were still in business and replaced a Maytag RR that had been the best dishwasher I had up to that point. This new dishwasher was by far the BEST dishwasher I have EVER owned and I have owned many different ones. It was the most convenient to load and held the most of odd shaped items and still a huge load of dishes. It cleaned EVERYTHING I put into it. It cleaned equally as well on the top rack as it did on the bottom. There were no dead spots anywhere. I could even fit in my huge electric rectangular shaped frying pan and the lid along with a full load of dishes. I cannot tell you how terrific that dishwasher was. I foolishly replaced it when Maytag came out with their three rack machine and was very sorry I had. The new machine was more difficult to load and actually held less than the Jennaire dishwasher in spite of having three racks. I could not easily fit the fry pan in it without swallowing up a great deal of space. I was truly amazed that a dishwasher with a "shower tower" for underneath the top rack was so effective, but it was. That dishwasher even out does the new Kitchenaid clone I have now which is 3 years old and that is saying something! If there were awards for an all time best dishwasher ever made, this one should receive the award.
