Your opinion please.......fellow automatic washer friends.....Is this one worth it? Is it a good machine? I know it is old but it is worth the effort, or just a waste of time to get it. It is only about 25 minutes away from me. Thanks, Gary CLICK HERE TO GO TO gadgetgary's LINK on eBay |

Probably yes. The seller says it works and the price is right. My grandparents had one of these in their house from 81 until 85 when they sold the house. It did them pretty well. |

My parents had a dishwasher similar to this in their house. It had the white knob. It lasted a very long time and was replaced last year when it sprung a leak and destroyed some laminate flooring. |

My parents had one similar and the wash action was great! Somewhat noisy, but is a classic design and for $1.00...even if it doesn't work, it's a great machine to learn the "how to" on. I say go for it. :) |

If this is one of the Maytags which had the glassware rack on the bottom and the dinnerware rack on the top, I'd snatch it up in a minute if I could. IMHO, this rack layout made much more sense, and I hated to see Maytag change it. |

I hated seeing that rack design change too. It was a great design that made Maytag very unique. |

I've been using my Maytag dishwasher for several months now and I'll agree with Steve, the machine does an outstanding job on cleaning dishes, pans - everything but cutlery & flatware. I've noticed a few spoons and knives with a little starchy residue left on them and of course, as with any dishwasher, nesting is always a problem. Larger utensils clean better lying in the racks rather than in the utensil basket. I haven't decided if it's a particular fluke of design with this machine - having the cutlery basket on the top rack, the needle spray of the washing action isn't enough to "flood" the items or if, more likely, it's a problem of the water coming from essentially one direction. |
