I think the 3rd rack option is quite deceiving. You are limited to a very few items to put down there and they can't be very tall at all. The middle & upper rack designs are such that you are limited as to what you can put where--large plates can't go on both sides of the middle3 rack without interfereing iwth the spray arm for the upper rack and that includes adjusting the upper rack. Same with tall items in the upper rack. Frigilux and MayKen4Now are both thrilled with their two rack Maytag products. Other sugestions would be a Bosch or a GE tall tub with stainless interior.

I love my TOL 2-rack Maytag (model 8591)! Cleaning is spectacular and loading is amazingly flexible. Build-quality seems very good. My dishwasher gets very, very heavy use and it hasn't given me a moment's trouble. Not as quiet as a Bosch, but certainly not noisy, either. Highly recommended. I'd avoid the 3-rack models. As Bob mentioned, you'll lose a lot of loading flexibility. | ||

I can't speak to performance or reliability but I really like the idea of a 3rd top rack for the silverware instead of the basket/caddy at the bottom like most DW's have. The rack on top pretty much eliminates any "nesting" problems and I feel the spray is more direct for better cleaning. Just my casual observance after house-sitting for some peoople who have a DW by either Bosch or Miele that has one of these top racks.

miele
I think you should just forget the current sh** being produced in the 'States at exorbitant prices and either go vintage KitchenAid or Miele. Bosch is also not a bad choice, if overpriced. Sadly, what was once the leading nation in automatic household equipment has become a leading producer of junk. Current domestic white goods are only built to last for a few years. But for just a bit more money, you can have a Miele that will wash dishes clean without pre-rinsing, save water and energy and either go with you when you move or increase the value of your place if you leave it behind. First thing I took out of my new Miele was the third rack. I just prefer having the space to put large pots and pans in the upper rack, too. Which you can, since the cleaning action is outstanding in both. The only thing which speaks against Miele (or Bosch) is that they take substantially longer than good GEs to get things cleaned. I don't mind, clean dishes and no scrubbing or pre-rinsing (and not having to do pots and casseroles with baked on stuff)is my priority. Oh - even grits and oatmeal are no problem when you use enzyme detergents. All the Maytag recalls of the last weeks mean you need to be sure you get one which won't catch on fire...but that can happen to any brand and I don't think it is fair to blame Maytag for it. I have seen Siemens/Bosch/Constructa, AEG, Philips and GE also have recalls in the last years for similar problems. | ||
