Maytag's Tall Tub Dishwasher |
[Down to Last] |  |
| Post# 231860 8/20/2007 at 21:15 (6,091 days old) by johnb300m (Chicago) | ||
So, I've heard alot of talk on here that Whirlpool is and is not going to alter the current Maytag tall tub dishwasher mechanism. I totally agree that they should keep Maytag's mechanism, and even spread it to all the other Whirlpool subsidiaries. But what's with the rumors about them putting the corporate Whirlpool mechanism in? SO they're NOT doing this? The Maytags will stay just as they are? WHY? I'm glad if they are. But what is Whirlpool's rationale for staying with Maytag's design? I'd couldn't believe that they would not think theirs is automatically superior. Unless.....they figured out Maytag's is better??? So what does everyone think is going to happen?

Someone in another thread posted that they'd already seen Whirlpool-designed dishwashers badged as Maytags, somewhere----Lowe's or Home Depot, perhaps. That's too bad. I'm completely impressed with my tall-tub Maytag in loading flexibility and cleaning. They should keep the Maytag design and re-badge them as Whirlpools! From a corporate point of view, it doesn't make sense for Whirlpool to keep two different manufacturing processes going. | ||

Most likely in the future, that is exactly what they will wind up doing. From a manufacturing perspective, everything has an expiration date! | ||

woah, woah
Careful now. DuraWash and "vertical design" are opposites. Isn't the DuraWash that crappy system with the "soil settler" and a horizontal plastic motor? Because Whirlpool's only vertical design is the PowerClean. Have they put a Powerclean module in the Maytags or the crappy Roper DuraWash??? There's a huge difference. If the PowerClean is in the Maytags, then that's awesome. If not.........screw them. | ||

Sorry to belabor the point, but I just find it hard to fathom why, when every appliance line in every brand they've acquired over the years has rather quickly become a Whirlpool clone (including KitchenAid), they'll keep producing two different dishwasher designs. What in their corporate history points toward this happening? Believe me, I'd love to be proved wrong on this point; I think Maytag dishwashers are fantastic! And who know, they might decide to keep the Maytag platform and dump their own as an easy way to introduce "the all-new, completely redesigned Whirlpool dishwasher!" I suppose that hinges on Whirlpool having acquired all the rights/patents/etc. for Maytag's designs in the purchase agreement. I'm skeptical, given their history in this matter, they'll continue to produce both for very long. | ||

"Que Sera Sera" Tom; "Leslie, Does the Maytag with the PowerClean wash system have a wash arm under the top rack"? Yes | ||

Also what is not readily apparent, the lower rack has a bullnose. The front is bumped out. So it can handle large pots & other items in spite of the water feed column for the upper rack. | ||

So, is Maytag selling the version of the non-TT with the direct feed upper wash arm, or only the tower feed version. I'd certainly consider the direct feed, but that tower in the center is a pain in the ass. | ||
