The original and first Maytag Jet-Clean dishwasher was the WP-600. It was a top-loading model and had, in my opinion, the best racking system of any dishwasher for a long time. Although you had to move one of the halves of the top rack to access the bottom rack both the top and bottom racks could accommodate almost anything.
The front-loading Jet cleans were similar but more limited until the 80's when the more expensive models had rows of tines on the top rack that could be folded down to accommodate glasses and large items like bowls and large pieces. But even the ones with non-adjustable tines could accommodate glasses, cups and other odd items. If I had to have only one dishwasher, it would be one of these. |

The folding tynes make the machines insanely versatile. I put a MOL DD reverse rack at my girlfriends place and it had no folding tynes, but my knock off WU1000 Jenn-Air has them. |

From the other night. I've had this machine for a few months now as a daily driver. I found it awkward at first but now that I'm used to it I really like it. There are however a few spots where really dirty things don't get clean. It's mostly just behind the silverware. Other than that it's the noisiest machine I've ever had but for the most part I like it.
Full disclosure though I still load up the KDS 17a about once a week. You just can't beat the sounds of a one arm wonder. And they clean like crazy!! |

Could very well be; I may try it with a sturdy piece of plastic on one of my next loads and see what happens. |
