Maytag MDB8951AWS

Pros: quiet quiet quiet

Cons: none so far

The Bottom Line: Good buy for a large capacity ss tub and exterior dishwasher that runs very quietly, many other comparible models were more money and didn't have the 3 level cleaning

Review: We set out to buy a new dishwasher with our biggest criteria being something quieter than our extremely noisy Maytag and when we first started shopping I would have never figured I'd end up with another Maytag. We have a Kitchenaid Optima speedcook ...

Pros: removable, adjustable top rack, stainless interior, large bowl & wide cookie sheet slot, anywhere basket

Cons: ill designed top spaces pushes items out of alignment

The Bottom Line: Loads and cleans very well. Very quiet with hidden controls and clean looking front. Lots of great features that others did not have including stainless interior. No regrets.

Review: My model is a MDB8951-AWQ so I do not know what the difference is between it and an AWS except perhaps one less wash cycle? I love the removable, adjustable top rack and have used it several times to wash huge pots. A big plus is that cookie sheets and ...

Pros: Very quiet, awesome sparkling clean pots, plates, glasses

Cons: none at all

The Bottom Line: There is a stainless steel appliance spray out there that I found works great called 'Browns'. Everyone discouraged me from stainless steel, but this cleaner makes it workable.

Review: I researched this purchase for many many months and after comparing several comparable as well as less expensive models, I determined this dishwasher was the one for me. And I was right. I love this dishwasher. It is so quiet you can not hear it ...

Pros: Style, great cleaning, very large capacity

Cons: Could be quieter, 55 dB (not 47 as mentioned in another review)

The Bottom Line: Very pleased - Holds a lot and cleans very well

Review: I purchased the Maytag MDB8951BWS which is the same dishwasher as the MDB8951AWS. This model was renamed after Whirlpool purchased Maytag. As I understand it, the dishwashers are identical. I'm very pleased with this dishwasher...very roomy, cleans ...

Pros: Very quite

Cons: poor design of top rack, weak leveling pads

The Bottom Line: If your looking for a quite dishwasher (47dB rated) at half the price, this is it.

Review: Much like one the other reviewers, our first criteria was quietness, secondly was the hidden control panel. Out of the box, the installation was easy, took about 30 minutes. The second and third installs were a little more time consuming. I had to ...

Pros: Love the quietness, the sleek look, and the roominess inside

Cons: Find the stainless steel a pain to keep clean

The Bottom Line: Would never purchase Maytag products again, I feel they just don't have what it takes in their Customer Service

Review: On June 19,2006 after much deliberation we purchased this dishwasher for $1300. I found it did everything and some. The other day we noticed that when is starts up it makes a very loud grinding sound. The noise does go away after about 15 minutes. ...

Pros: It has a sleek Stainless steel design

Cons: Long wash cycle and lots of problems with unit

The Bottom Line: I have had a lot of problems with the unit and I am totally not happy with it

Review: I bought this in august... I have had 12 service calls on it, it does not get the dishes clean and leaves a residue.. it cost me a lot and I would think it would perform better than a cheaper model . I have been told I am using too much soap then I cut ...
