My sister called and said her 9-yr. old BOL Kenmore gave out and they have no money to replace it at the moment. After giving it about 1.2 seconds of thought, I told her "Hey, you can have my Frigidaire." As much as I like it, I've been itching to get a machine with a SS interior. Locally, I can buy GE, Maytag, KitchenAid, Whirlpool and Frigidaire. I really like my indie Frigi/Maytag dealer, so I decided to try a Maytag. Have never had one before. I ordered the TOL Jetclean II. Unfortunately, the day I placed the order my dealer had just received a shipment from Maytag, and he has to have a 10-piece minimum to order. Therefore, it could be up to 3 weeks before I take possession of my new machine. I'm excited and didn't know who else to tell, since the people I know in the real world don't give 2-hoots about appliances, new or vintage. I'll take a bunch of pics when it arrives. BTW, if anyone has had either very good or horrible experiences with newer Maytag DW's, now is the time to tell me! I wasn't all that impressed with the one SS Whirlpool model, and I've had KitchenAids several times, so I wanted to try something different. | ||

My parents have a new MOL SS Maytag dishwasher and I've run dishes, glasses, and silverware that's been caked in Katrina funk and they came out sparkling. I restored old Melmac and Tupperware plates and bowls and now we use them daily just like it was when we lived in Chalmette. | ||

Thanks for your input, kids! So far, so good. It's difficult for me to wait even five minutes for anything, so the notion of waiting for a couple of weeks for my new toy is....well, let's just say I now understand why my Mom, in her thick Italian accent, would say to the 5-year old me: "Justa fuggetabout Chreestmas! When eeta gets here, I tella you, awkay? If you donna stop, you drive-a me crazee!" I've already downloaded the owner's manual and looked at it on Maytag's website about 10 times today... | ||

Appnut, I'll check out what people have to say at THS. That may be frightening, but I have to do it. On the other hand, I've read horrible things about almost all the appliances I own there, and I've not had a bad experience with any of them, myself. SactoTB-- I almost got the 7600, but decided to go for the SS interior. I also wanted a machine with the Series 400 soundproofing, as it seems make for a quieter machine. That led me to this one.

It is the MDB6650 Bob - You are right it is the MDB6650 and I got it for a steal back in May of 2003. As I said before I could not be happier with it! | ||

If there was a Sears near me, I'd definitely get a Bosch or a Kenmore Elite (a couple of which are BoschMores, I believe). Unfortunately, the nearest Sears is 65 miles away and the delivery/installation would cost a lot. Plus, I like to keep as much business in town as I can; In a town of only 4,500 every sale means a lot to local merchants. Now that I've lived here 20 years, I'm finally feeling like a 'local', LOL. We used to have a Sears 'catalog' store here, which was great. They stocked a few appliances, but you could order anything Sears made. Frankly, overall, I think Kenmore has the best line of appliances in America. | ||
