GE and Hotpoint seem to have a few models as well. Are they any better or worse than the Maytag? | ||

 GE sold off their appliance division to Chinese appliance maker Haier a year or two ago. Take that for what it's worth.
Whirlpool, which owns the Maytag brand, is an American company. While China may still be involved in production, Whirlpool likely holds them to a higher standard where materials and overall quality are concerned. | ||

I'm guessing that I should stay away from Frigidaire too from what I've read here. | ||

Also, does anyone know how the Maytag vents? I didn't see any vents on the front door and I'm sort of leery of it ruining the cabinets if it vents out the side like some models. | ||

Hi Barry, Thanks so much for your review! I really appreciate it. Does anyone else have any other models that they recommend? I might consider a top control unit if it's really worth it. | ||

Any of the Whirlpool "brands" are a good choice. I have a Kenmore Elite model that I purchased just about exactly one year ago. It's a clone to the KitchenAid models and I have nothing but good things to say about it. The filter is absolutely no trouble whatsoever. I clean it literally every couple of months and it has hardly any gunk on it. It's a fantastic machine overall and is super quiet.
The Maytag variants do have the hard food disposer if that's what you prefer. The GE BOL models are from a long standing design. I almost bought one myself but I didn't like the rack design. Despite GE Appliances being owned by Haier, they are still based in Louisville, KY..and a large amount of their products are still built there. Sounds like you might like the Maytag model...and this is the perfect time to buy appliances! | ||

Top Control
Top control is something I wouldn't do again. Not that there really is anything wrong with it other than I like to know where the machine is in the cycle and how much time is left. My dishwasher has a red light on the floor to indicate its running but that doesn't tell me anything except that it's still running. Some newer models have a light that displays cycle progression on the floor which would be cool.
I'm just a little old school and like the look of the controls. My husband really wanted the look of the Top Controls so I caved but the next one won't have it. | ||

Definitely Maytag
Mine has been great for over 5 years now. I'm not 100%, but I think mine vents from the handle.

Would you say that the GE BOL wash tower design is better/worse/equal to a separate spray arm for the top rack? | ||
