I don't mind a little noise from the dishwasher. To me it just sounds like it is doing something. | ||

New basic whirlpool dishwasher
These are probably the best dishwasher in the lower priced field for sure easy to install and repair. I agree that a dishwasher doesn’t need to be silent. In fact the drive for silence is actually caused a lot of damage to the reliability of dishwashers and I like hearing the machine work anyway.
Curious, what happened to your other dishwasher and just nine years? John L | ||

dishwasher noise I am fine with dishwasher noise. I want to at least hear water moving around. As for the longer cycles, I am getting accustomed to them as I am not in a rush. Besides, I shouldn't have to open the dishwasher or press my ear to it to hear that everything is working properly. | ||

What was the point of replacing? | ||

My point voyager from 2005 was replaced in 2014. I remember one day I was running it in the kitchen and I it was making this HORRIBLE SCREECHING sound and I could smell something burning. I stopped it, hit cancel drain praying it would drain the water. That's when I got my new maytag which has lasted longer than that one... I honestly don't know what failed on it. I know I'm the only one who EVER touches the dishwasher and I'm always super careful about loading, things dropping in...and I'm pretty sure there wasn't anything that could be caught in the grinder or whatever. I mean, it's possible but I just don't think that's what it was...
I don't mind the noise either, but this Maytag is much quiter than the point voyager, but is probably noisy by today's standards... I mean, you can hear it, but it's not LOUD... It's like a soft distant sound. I don't know anything about this dishwasher other than it's got a plastic tub and is made by Whirlpool. I'd say it will be fine HOPEFULLY. A lot of folks don't want plastic tubs with the new shiny stainless steel.. but really when you think about it, they were always plastic before. I was reading some of the reviews and as usual, some bad ones... but that's the case with everything it seems. Let us know how you like it. | ||

@cehalstead - If the racks rust again, you should be able to find nylon-covered equivalents on eBay for less than a new dishwasher since they've used that same rack design for eons. The nylon will last longer.
And you're not pre-rinsing your dishes, right? If you do and then use a normal amount of detergent, it will eat the racks and cause the same problem. Even moreso with a non-nylon coating. | ||
