This was an extremely durable dishwasher. I own one of these 2009 models and it’s cleaning performance is almost if not just as good as my Powerclean module WP. They just tried to market things that are new that aren’t affective compared to what normal machines include as far as the wash system goes. Sure the silverware blast was a bit strange, but that doesn’t stop the machine from being a complete contender & durable machine that cleans throughly, on both upper and lower racks.
All it was is a Whirlpool Voyager, obviously. Now those never were quite comparable to the power of the Powerclean but the cleaning performance was the same as I’d get from a powerclean when using the Jetclean, although they are two totally different power plants. Overall this machine is absolutely gorgeous and relaxing, and cleans very very well. I know some people who have the exact machine listed on these photos and they love theirs and still have it a decade later, running like new.
The control boards on these Maytags were however extremely problematic for the front face controlled machines, haven’t heard many complaints about the top control Jetcleans. My dream dishwasher is the top control Jetclean all stainless. I currently have the all stainless with the outter control panel at my other residence and the previous owner never took care of the poor thing, and after some TLC oh my god the thing was a beast with a 5 person family running it nearly everyday almost twice sometimes per day, never an issue. Just had some leveling problems which was operator error at the beginning and thought it was surging because of a lack of water flow, but that wasn’t the case and that was resolved many years ago.
To this day I still know this machine was a solid dishwasher based on owning one of them along with knowing others that have the same lineup of machines from this time period. Very sexy looking machine for sure and I feel Maytags newer designs are bit bizarre looking.
