Personnally I would try Sears to see if they would match price. Anything
goes wrong, at least around here, Sears will take care of it.

I have a 3 level Maytag dishwasher. Don't know if you are looking at their
3 level one but we like it and it was rated well by Consumer Reports. Check
out the one you are consider ing in Consumer Reports at your local library.
They rate dishwashers almost every year. If you are looking at a 2 level
Maytag make sure it is their extra high door version otherwise you are
probably looking at an old model. Extra high door means taller loading room
(instead of 3rd rack).

Hi,

We're looking for a replacement for our dishwasher, and in particular are
looking at Maytag and Whirlpool models at our local Lowes. The space
where
the old dishwasher was has a depth of almost exactly 24" from the back
wall
to the front face of the cabinet, and we have granite countertops.

The Maytag we were considering was the Model #MDBTT59AWB, and the
Whirlpool
was the Model #DU943PWKB.

Both say "Depth 24 inches".

Prices are about the same on both, but they have a deal through Saturday
where installation of the Whirlpool is $59 (vs. their normal $160), so the
Maytag looks like it's about $100 more (including installation).

Warranty on the Maytag is 1 yr labor/2 yr parts vs. 1 yr labor/1 yr parts
for the Whirlpool.

Any comments on these particular models, or on Maytag vs. Whirlpool, would
be appreciated. We'd like to try to make a decision this week, if we go
with the Whirlpool, that installation deal ends this Saturday.

Thanks in advance,
Jim
