sorry about the markings on the brochure, but it's interesting to see the dealer's pricing too...

Thanks for the scans!

Anybody know why Maytag outsourced their disposers to ISE? I'm guessing it a money saving move since their own design was far superior to the outsourced one.

Weren't these the 1966 dishwashers? I think that was the first year Maytag got into the dishwasher market.

Thanks for uploading, it'll be great reading.

Thanks Greg!

What great scans of great dishwashers!

I can't get over the small difference in price between the different models. I guess almost 40 years ago that was a big jump. The portable being the most expensive!

Love the Pfaltzgraff Yorktowne Stoneware dishes!

Thanks again for the scans.

With inflation, your cost would be:

The WU-600 TOL built-in would be $1725 today, the portable $2028 in 2010 dollars.

Oh it's Maytag's turn to do your dishes!

These are 1972, the top loader debuted in 1966, but was still out here! Thank you so much Greg for all your posts like this, they are all groovy!

Thank you for posting this, Greg!! I am inspired to 'move on' from my Westy Woes to perhaps finally get the Maytag WP600 top-load dishwasher into use!!

Ah, the little FC5 is the best disposer I've ever used/owned. We got ours NIB in 1990 at a dealer that did a lot of contractor sales. I suspect ours was returned by a contractor who bought too many and we got it for $29. That was the best buy of our entire kitchen remodel.

When did they stop making these?

Say "Thank you" to the nice man.

Thank you!

I'm so old now that I can't remember whether I actually had this brochure at one point or not. The picture of that etched steel disposer ring struck a chord; but it might have been from a different catalog. What a great line of appliances. Why did they have to change anything?

MAYTAG DISPOSERS

combo52's profile picture
Maytag quit making thier own disposers some time in 1994, like WP, and KA had already done. They could not compete on price or quality control of assembly with ISE. The ISEs work great but they are not as ruggedly built. In the case of the very good KA disposers WP sold the tooling to Viking and they continued make that design for another 15 years, But even the Vikings are now made by ISE but with a different fixed impeller turn table. I long said that the MT disposer was one of thier best products. In fact of the more than 30 major appliances in my primary home the only MT appliance is one of the very rare FB-5 disposers. I bought it in 1994 when I heard they were going to be discontinued, its worked well but could use a new main water seal, PT# 8-4 if any one ever comes across one I would be very grateful. The early MT disposers as pictured in the brochure had cast iron turntables and most of these actually broke where the rivets held the impellers on also the water seals all failed on these early models. But like most MT products they worked these problems out by making the turntable from stamped SS and adding a SS wear ring to the bottom for the water seal to ride on, after this we saw very few problems with the MT disposers.

Unless those pictured in the HD link are made by the cheese people, they are not true Maytags, I'm guessing.

Amazing scans. My favorite dishwasher of all time. My neighbor had one when I was young, and I had a used one for 10 years, until I moved to a new house.

Now, If you have a similar brochure of the washer and dryers (HOH) of the early 70's, and scan it, I could then die happy!!!!

Thanks again.

You made my day.

The WC400 was our first dishwasher

1973-1994. We had the white one. Still my favourite. Thank you for posting.

Familiar Dishwasher

The only house my dad ever built in his forty some years of building that did not include a built in dishwasher was a house built for a couple who had their own portable. It was the maytag top loader and he elevated the counter a bit so it would slide in. I remember the kitchen well as their was much controversy as they also wanted kitchen carpet, which my dad never installed wither. That kitchen had a coppertone Kohler sink and Fridgidaire Flair and Side by side fridge in coppertone too.

It is amazing the things you remember when triggered as this had to be more than forty years ago that I was in that house. Over my dads career he built more than four hundred custom homes in and near richmond Virginia.
