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


I just bought a Whirlpool GU1200 about a month ago and so far I have
been pleased with the product. I have had various Maytag products
over the years (Dishwasher, Washers and Dryers) and have had good luck
with dependability and longevity but when they had problems, my
experience with Maytag repair has been so bad I would not even
consider buying another Maytag product.
