Maytag's Tall Tub Dishwasher

[appnut]

OK guys give it a break. Do you realize THAT new Maytag is just like the Kenmore UltraWash non-TT dishwashers? Before Scott55405 moved to LA, the UltraWash portable he had in his apartment was pretty much like this, including bull-nose bottom rack and the "top" spray nozzle through the upper rack!!

though...

because it has a PowerClean...I would highly consider getting this machine.

So, is Maytag selling the version of the non-TT with the direct feed upper wash arm, or only the tower feed version. I'd certainly consider the direct feed, but that tower in the center is a pain in the ass.

You are so right, Andrew!

That was such a stupidly designed dishwasher in every version WP ever made. It had a great pump system but that center tube restricted the placement of dishes and the upper washarm was so easily blocked by dishes or anything tall placed on the sides.I can load so much more in my DU950 machine than that thing would hold on the bottom even without the bullnose rack.

They did the right thing copying the KitchenAId washarm setup and added the direct feed inside but they still missed the boat by underslinging the upper washarm. Kitchen Aid was smarter with the upper arm fed thru the rack and the "China-Guard" which almost always guranteed a block proof washwarm.
What a step BACKWARDS for the Maytag line!

Just my $.02

I agree with you SteveT, but in Whirlpool's defense, this IS the Maytag BOL machine.
I'm a little relieved Whirlpool didn't put the true WP BOL system in; the DuraWash with the center wash tower and "soil settler" filter system.
Talk about junk...
