Hello everybody. I have compared videos of two dishwashers. One was the new Maytag and the other was the Whirlpool point voyager dishwasher. Both were recorded from the inside. I was very disappointed with the Maytag. It didn't sound powerful at all! It sounded like it had weak spray! The Whirlpool point voyager, however, sounded like the dishes were gonna get an ass whooping of their lives compared to the Maytag!

Aren't these the machines that are labeled with "The Most Powerful Dishwasher Motor Available!"? I saw one of those at HD the other day.
supposedly they are
Supposedly, they are. But when I saw the inside whirlpool dishwasher with camera and compared it to the maytag, I was sureley disappointed! Surely the maytag had the most powerful motor. The spray sounded weak!

Compared to everything on the market currently, Maytag's line does have the most powerful motor. It's only a slightly smaller version of the motor used in the previous generation WP Voyager machines. As with most everything in the last 5 years, most of the components of the Maytags have been altered to accommodate a lower water level per fill. The wash arm supply tubes and spray holes are all narrower, and while the arms themselves look wide, they're actually about the same width as their Whirlpool/Kenmore/KitchenAid siblings' arms when you look underneath. Currently, Maytag is the only line in the Whirlpool family that does not alternate spray arms. In my opinion, compared to the WP/KM/KA of the resource-saver dishwashers (apparently they're called Tahoe GlobalWash dishwashers), it seems to have much better wash action and because the arms don't alternate, the cycle times aren't as long. Of course it isn't going to have the power that the Voyagers have, because they use 30-40% more water and have beefier wash arms, but for what we have to choose from on the "new" market, the Maytag isn't a bad choice. My only complaint is the stupid tiered upper rack.
point voyager power
Oh... so you are basically saying that the point voyager from Whirlpool is slightly more powerful and has a slightly bigger motor than the Maytags. I guess that may explain why the Maytags sound weak compared to the point voyager. And, on the point voyager, I noticed that the spray arms move faster like they have a purpose. I have a whirlpool with a hard food disposer that runs flawlessly. What do the blades look like? What are they made out of (maytag compared to the whirlpool?)

Whirlpool PV's used a two-bladed chopper, whereas Maytag's PV used a four-blade, but they are essentially the same in regards to the design. As far as I know, they're just stainless steel. The new Maytags use the same four-bladed chopper, with a separator chamber behind that pushes food particles into the accumulator filter, which is fitted basically in the same part of the sump as the Whirlpool version's removable filter, as they use the same sump assembly. I attached pictures of the WP blade, the Maytag-Voyager/new MT blade, and the new MT's motor. Maytag's website should show the pictures on some of the models.
Dishwashers now equipped with Blender Blades!!!Can I make my 'shake in it?The dishwasher doubles as a blender!
hard food disposer blade
I didn't know that whirlpool dishwashers had stainless steel chopper blades. I was under the impression that they were plastic on the Whirlpool point voyagers. I have yet to hear what the newest maytag dishwashers sound like. Can anybody upload a video of their new Maytag on Youtube so we can get an idea of what they sound like - both empty and full for a comparison? If so, that would be very appreciative for those of us who are big fans of washers, dryers and dishwashers. Thank you all.

I don't have any sound clips or video, but my mother-in-law has the Maytag MDB4949 model. It's nearly silent, aside from a very, very faint hum, and if you press your ear to the door, you can hear sloshing. It is astronomically quieter than any version of the Voyager machines.
whirlpool point voyager blade
I didn't know that the whirlpool point voyager had stainless steel chopper blades. I always thought they were plastic whereas the stainless steel blades were found in the maytag.
