I think this is my second favorite year for Jet-Cleans.
Happy Keester!

Unfortunately, as you can see, Jesse White had passed already
... and oak was big.
I saw a WU-702 pulled out of a house that Debbie and Bob were renovating; it was right by the dumpster and this was a couple of years before I discovered "Automatic Washer.org" (truly, "The Friends of the Friendless", for appliance people), and learned that it was OK to covet others' used appliances and to even throw them in the back of your wagon and take them home. Never got it; still kicking myself, because I think it's my favorite machine of this model run.
There's just such a good "Maytag-iness" about that model, although the buttons don't make a ton of sense. From what I've read, "Sani Wash" really, should be "Sani Rinse" and "Temp Boost" means the water is heated to 140 F for the wash cycle. I, of course, love all the blue vinyl and the reverse-racking. I think that model also features a Rinse Dispenser, which, I don't care if it's unnecessary with soft water, it's another bell/whistle, thank you.
I owned and used as my daily driver, the WU-102 for a great many years. It was relegated to the basement pile when the timer motor stopped working.
I liked that these models featured a fan-dry system, but John LeFever and I have both agreed that a dishwasher worth its salt should have the elegance and discretion of a well-designed passive venting system that needs burn no extra electricity and allows the heat and humidity of the automatic cycle to dissipate like sands through the hourglass.
Here's what I mean about the buttons and the cycles. Me sainted Mother would never have put up with any of this:
Ken, absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for posting this. for some reason, the 702 always fascinated me. The temp boost as used and did assure of 140 degree main wash. From what i discovered, the sani wash option simply turned the heating element on for every water circulation/washing/rinsing period and if anything like later Maytags, kept the heating element on longer during the dry cycle. There was no thermostatic hold for the final rinse. If thee had been, I believe there would have been a specified tempearture point like on the temp boos main wash. Because it wasn't a true sanitize/temp hold function, I pretty much decided against one of these when I endedup with the GE Postscruber 1200 in 1987.
Maytag
Thanks for this Great scanning!

The 502 was one of the first new machines that my parent bought when finishing the house, I went with them when they were shopping and asked them to get the Maytag over a Hotpoint (stove and fridge ended up being Hotpoint in that place). I still have my 202, was the low end of the spectrum, but it does a great job every time, and I have yet to find a machine that holds as much as it can.
It will be installed in the next apartment I rent so I can use it again, be far better than the POS GE in this place.

Nice brochure, thanks for scanning.
I've seen so many of the BOL models, they were very popular machines in the price-point around here. Portable versions of that model were also good sellers.
There's one on our CL now:

are the plates with the black and grey rims and pink flowers, I love it! My Mum had some very similar.
Love looking at old brochures, you'd think they could have found a front panel that actually fitted the machine in the 2nd pic though!

I had the WU702 model - it was a great dishwasher. It could clean anything I threw at it, top or bottom racks and very quickly. The shortest cycle was 67 min. and the longest 87 min. It was a little loud though.
