I am considering purchasing this dishwasher. I especially like the 10 year warranty on the racks, etc. and the fact that is has a self cleaning filter.

Does anyone have one of these and if so, what is your experience with it?

David

David, it's a very good, simple dishwasher. Combo52 (John L) has installed many of these as replacements for his customers.

Thanks for the input. Simple is what I like - I find I almost always use "normal" on my current dishwasher. It looks sturdy and well constructed in the store.

I suggest using the Auto rather than Normal cycle.

Actually the machine I'm currently using has the auto sensing on all cycles.
I gather on this machine only "auto" gives you that feature only on the "auto" cycle and that is not merely a cycle modifier. It's definitely going to be my new "normal" that I'll probably use 99% of the time.

I will share some of my observations. My Kenmore Elite is a cousin of this Maytag. My model has a digital cou8ntdown display. when I select Normal, the standard time is 1:40. When I select auto, the standard time is 1:50. I have found that Auto cycle does a better job because it runs a bit longer and has a slightly higher wash water temperature. The manual also indicates the auto cycle will use a little bit more energy even though it uses the number of water changes. I'd rather have a little bit more "oomph" and I"m much happier with using Auto.

LG.......?

So much more information about the LG line bubbling to the surface. Glad we waited a while longer to make a decision about our first front loader. We would buy the Speed Queen, if they offered a heater.

Leaning towards the Lux, but in no hurry. SQ 92-series more than good enough in the meantime.

1000 Pardons.........

Believe we posted to the wrong thread. #94188 would have been more appropriate.

Appreciate the 2 likes. Seems like everyone was able to surmise what we actually meant. Thanks.
