Maytag Dishwasher - Quiet Series 200 Review

Unfortunately, I would have to give this model a "Thumbs-Down".  Although economically priced, this dishwasher is noisy, and the washing cycles are long.  Dishes do not get cleaned as well as you would expect, and dirty residue remains in the bottom of the tub.  The dishwasher detergent dispenser door never closed with powdered detergent since day 1.  After only 2 yrs of use, many of the rack uprights have rusted and broken off.

DO NOT BUMP AGAINST THE DOOR TO CLOSE.  If you have kids in the house, do NOT buy this model.  The PLASTIC door latch broke and needed replacement ($85 + Labor).  Well...the door latch is integrated into the entire control pad wiring, so you cannot just replace the latch, you have to replace the entire control panel wiring assembly.  Take note: Replacement latches don't last any longer than the originals.

Overall a total disappointment from a MAYTAG...so much for the MAYTAG guy sitting around doing nothing.  This guy is BUSY repairing these poorly constructed and extremely noisy dishwashers.

This review is not written out of any anger or dislike for maytag products, as I have a MAYTAG microwave oven, and MAYTAG stove/range (I bought all three when I re-did my kitchen) I am very happy with.

I am just EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED with product quality and support.
