Tim. You will be another believer in the Maytag Reverse-Rack system. Maytag engineers were the only ones intelligent enough to leave the traditional, "glasses in the top, dishes in the bottom" paradigm. As a result, you can fit more dishes in this machine than any other brand.
Because of the versatility, it is much easier to load than conventional machines. You can put pots and pans in the upper or lower rack. While you are cooking, if you have a dirty spoon or fork to throw in the machine, the silverware basket is conveniently right on top, in the front, so you don't have to bend or pull a rack out. Just tip the door open a little and throw it in.
The porecelain tub is beautiful. I have never had one to stain, unlike some of the newer plastic tubs. You can wash dishes such as those coated with spaghetti sauce,as well as dark cocoa based batter soiled dishes, without having your tub (or racks) turn red or brown from staining. Unlike my Tall Tub GE, and especially my Tall Tub Whirlpool. The Whirlpool was a nightmare, I had a brand new machine 3 days old and washed dishes with spaghetti sauce all over them and left a red stained tub in a brand new machine. Absolutelu sickening. I did buy a peroxide based plastic cleaner, which took most of the stains out. However, the next week I restained the tub a nice shade of brown after washing the pot which I had made fudge in.
I haven't found anything (yet) that will stain the Maytag Reverse Rack.
The one downside we all agree upon is the machine is noisy, with a capital N!
But if you are a "Tim the Toolman" clone, like I am. You don't perceive it as noise..
When you hear it, you hear the raw unbridled power of a precision, machine. Humming and throbbing with mechanical testosterone as it hurls hurricane force waters throughout every square inch of the tub..drenching, powering and scouring away every particle of baked on and cooked on soil.
Something todays anemic motored, whimpy, tall tub machines can only do only in their dreams.
