Nice scores! Great Maytag Reverse Rack! I liked that racking system...Guess the masses never thought is was too practical as it never was used in any other machine of which I am aware. |

The perfect combo of appliances for any 1970s home. That washer is stunning, and looks to be in mint condition. The Kitchenaid Imperial was a very popular model during the 1972-74 time frame. Awesome finds. Have a good one, James |

The Maytag silverware basket is there, just not in the pic. Yes, I have the matching dryer in harvest gold. I really wish they were a perfect match. The dryer is mint, and the washer is pretty nice too. I like those oversized dials. Anyone know the date on the Maytag? And my shop is stuffed again, arrrgggg. But how can I pass this stuff up? People in Grand Rapids have a reputation for being thrifty (some would say cheap tightwads, lol) which is why so many old machine are still around here. On the other hand, most of the stuff I find are BOL's or practical, not flashy. matt

I had a reverse rack Maytag that I purchased new in '91. It was a great dishwasher. No matter what I put in it, everything always came out clean. And the cycles were relatively quick. the short was was 67 minutes, normal was 75 min. and pots & pans was 90 minutes including dry time. On my new Kitchen Aid the short cycle alone is almost 90 minutes. Gary |

Reverse rack, meaning the plates and pots go on the top rack and the bowls and glasses go on the bottom. You can pretty much put anything anywhere and it'll all get clean. Maytag used this design for 20 years (early 70's to the early 90's). You don't see them because they're all probably still in use. Mine turned 19 years old this month. Ran every other day and not a single repair. |

I disagree about the cleaning ability of the reverse rack. I use mine regularly, but I found that pots and pans on the top rack must be centered in the top rack over the tower. Even then, occasionally a few pans are not spottless. Also, I find more dirty silverware with this machine then say even an In-the-door basket on a whirlpool. Also, a lot of grit seems to pass through the filter on mine.... Sometimes I wonder if the lower arm is turning too fast, but this would only be a guess by my ear! |

I have this Maytag dishwasher in a portable, a very good machine and surprisingly, much quieter than the noisy belt-drives of later years. They do clean very well but good scraping of the dishes is important, as evidenced by the dried food in the bottom of the tank! They are a PITA to work on, portables must be up-ended to get at the pump/motor mounted in the rear right corner of the machine. Built-in models had to be disconnected and pulled from the cabinet if problems arose.

I never pre-rinsed with my reverse rack Maytag - only scraped the dishes. And I only ran the dishwasher when full which could have been 3-4 days (since I was single at the time) but still everything got clean. I never had a problem with the silverware not getting clean either. The cutout for the wash tower would have been my biggest gripe also. I did like how all the tines on the upper rack could be folded down to accommodate large pots, etc. Gary |
