I'm actually an appliance servicer. So one piece of advice with Maytag dishwashers. A very common problem with them is that the rack adjusters are prone to breaking. If you are getting one, either don't buy one with the adjustable racks (you can raise or lower the rack to fit taller items either above or below it). Or if you truly want one, take the model number to a local appliance servicer. Find out if the adjusters or wheels are available alone. Some of these dishwashers require that you replace the entire rack. It would cost from $120 to $175 depending on the model. Be careful. Honestly, if you need a dishwasher, I'd buy a lower end model. Don't pay for features you're rarely going to use, and a lot less to go wrong. They are all mechanically virtually the same. If you shop around you can sometimes get basic models for less than $250.
