I also read every review including Consumers. This is the one for me. What I don't understand are the comments about the wood top and no handles. Wouldn't you just glue a cutting board on top (I did) and I put handles too.
This is quite a purchase for an old hippie mama, sorry I waited so long. After reading everything I am second guessing an extended warrenty and going with none.
If you are really concered with this purchase I suggest you read the blogs at Consumers website, there are hundreds and they are free to read.
With the time I save not having to rinse or wash I am starting a walking program! Join me and never wash dishes again by hand, let's go for a walk instead!
Yes, I recommend this product.

I have used this dishwasher 2 times and it cleans just as good on the light load as it does on the heavy load. Excellent cleaning! I am very satisfied and would highly recommend this dishwasher to anyone who cannot use a built in. In my opinion it works just as well and probably better than the older model built ins. LOVE IT..LOVE IT..LOVE IT...
Yes, I recommend this product.

We just had this dishwasher delivered the other day. The delivery men refused to install it. I tried to attach the faucet connector, and a washer inside immediately cracked. The washer was a very stiff rubber, as if it had been sitting for years or was otherwise damaged. Another internal washer fell into the connector and can't be removed without pliers. The connecting pipes are inside the machine and can't easily be removed to replace.
The front-bottom fender also came cracked, and the machine is much too big to be converted to a built-in. Would not recommend.
No, I do not recommend this product.

I chose this dishwasher because I had a Maytag portable that I bought in 1996 and LOVED. This is not the same machine. It used to have a 1 1/2" hardwood block top, handles to roll, LOTS of interior space, etc. I should not have gotten rid of that to buy this. The new one has a laminate top, no handle, diminished space AND takes longer to run. I think the '96 was made by Maytag, and this was made by Whirlpool. Might be better than other portables--I wouldn't know, but definitely not as good as older Maytags.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I have been without a dishwasher for years and finally decided to go with a portable, so I didin't have to give up any counterspace. Overall, I very impressed. It does not leak, it's not extrermely loud (not much louder than a built-in dishwasher), and my dishes were shiney and clean.
I'm very thankful that I read the other reveiws and did not buy the hook-up kit they tried to include. I am also thankful for not having to spend the time hand washing my dishes anymore!
Great dishwasher!!
Yes, I recommend this product.

great product -- dishes are sparkling clean! Much thanks to my fellow reviewers for recommending that I don't waste my money on the extra hook-up package. The dishwasher comes with everything you need. I love the longer hose -- don't have to move my dishwasher closer to the sink now. Great product.

I lasted 8 months without a dishwasher in the house, and realized that I'm just happier person with one! I had it unpacked, loaded, and running within 20 minutes of delivery.
I live in a tiny home, and was not at all bothered by the noise. The cycles are long, but unless my dishes get ridiculously gross, I can see using the shortest cycle every time.
Totally recommend for those who are in a situation where a built-in is just not feasible. Until I can gut and reconfigure my kitchen, this will make me a much more pleasant person!
Yes, I recommend this product.

It drys great, doesn't leak and I only run it about once or twice a week without pre-rinsing and the dishes come out clean. It's not as quiet as a built in dishwasher but it is not abnoxiously loud either. I love my dishwasher and can't believe I have gone so many years hand washing dishes! Great dishwasher would definately recommend!

I got this dishwasher to replace my 7 or 8 year old Kenmore portable dishwasher. That I found out I loved after running this one. I have found a few dirty dishes, and the dishes come out still pretty wet! Not sure what is causing that. I know there is some moisture that is normal that seems to hang on the plastic dishes and cups, but there is really alot of moisture in this one.
No, I do not recommend this product.

I just received my portable dishwasher. After not having one for 12 years in my home I was tired of washing dishes by hand and finally broke down to buy one.
This product is EXCELLENT. I have used it twice so far. Not one leak, quiet and does a wonderful job on all my dishes. They have not sparkled this much in the last 12 years.
WOW, I should have done this years ago.
Way to go Maytag.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Maytag Portable, January 15, 2009
By Rob6 from Southfield, MI
"I had a Whirlpool portable for over 20 years and it still worked fine, it was getting ugly and beat up which prompted the purchase of this new Maytag, December 10th, 2008. It took a bit of getting used to, the racks are so different and the silverware holder is in the bottom rack, the Whirlpool had it in the door, which I prefer. I find that the hoses are longer on the new Maytag, which I prefer and it is a bit quieter. It runs for almost 2 hours on the "normal" setting. I had to have a service call recently (before it was a month old) due to a horrible noise, turns out one of the little grips from a cutting board got into the disposal portion and that was causing the noise, the repair man said the length of run time is perfectly normal as it is very energy efficient and it will run for a long time. I do find that the dishes come out very clean (but they did in my whirlpool as well!
All in all, I am happy with the purchase - it is a very nice machine. I do not like that I never know which cycle it is on, the light is illuminated saying "wash/dry" and then it goes to "clean" when it is done. I wish it would tell me when it is in the drying cycle."
Yes, I recommend this product.

I live in a very small apartment with very little counter and sink space. I am sick of being the manual dishwasher so I looked into this portable dishwasher and love it! I researched the item a lot before purchasing and even found out my mom had one about 30 years ago (of course the ugly puke yellow color than) and she loved her's! The best part is that it's easy to move around and hook up, also love that it can convert to an under the counter dishwasher when needed!!! Highly recommend this and also the other reviews are correct do not buy the additional hook up items that they try to add to your order they are not needed...everything comes in the box!!!
Yes, I recommend this product.

After two years of handwashing dishes in our rental home we decided to buy this portable dishwasher. It was ready to go right out of the box and all the hoses and cords were already installed. I had let my dishes sit for two days and loaded them unrinsed directly into the washer. Everything came out sparkling clean, even a baking dish with two day old baked on pasta sauce. It was amazing! I do not think it is loud and I've had no trouble with leaks or water not draining. I love this dishwasher! Just do not buy the installation kit and power cord that automaticly get put in your cart, everything you need is included.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Makes life so much easier!! Spend alot less time at the kitchen sink now. The only problem we had with this portable dishwasher is that when it arrived it would run through a cycle but was not getting any water into it. My husband removed the wood top (unscrews very easily) and found that the hoses were ziptied together and kinked. Once he removed the ziptie and put the wood top back on it has been a great addition to our kitchen. Highly recommend this portable unit if you do not have the space for a built in unit. There is a conversion kit you can purchase in the event you are abl to use it as built in unit later on.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I've owned mine for over four months now and have had no problems whatsoever. It's fairly quiet, I don't have to "pre-wash" the dishes, Its easy to move around and hook up. Does a great job. I do agree with the other complaints about not having a handle. I never had any water left in the bottom of it like I've seen in other posts. For those of you who are interested, I contacted Maytag looking for the conversion kit and conversion instructions for when I do need to convert it. I didn't get the instuctions but the conversion kit is part #99001998. It cost about $65 when I checked. Hope this helps!
Yes, I recommend this product.

I recently bought a house that, to my disappointment, didn't have a dishwasher. After browsing around at the portable models (my kitchen isn't small, but cabinet space is limited and i didn't feel i could sacrifice any), i decided on this Maytag. It wasn't the cheapest or the most expensive model, it looked like it had good features and the reviews were mostly positive.
I ordered it online on a Thursday, and stopped washing my dishes in anticipation of its arrival. I didn't rinse or prewash anything, and i only scraped off the large scraps of food. It arrived the following Thursday and i immediately loaded it with my yucky week's worth of crusty dishes. Before i went to bed, I selected the normal cycle, and let it go. What a great machine! The only thing that didn't come clean was a slotted spatula with egg dried into the slot (a small thing to wash off). Everything rinsed clean, with no food dust redeposited on the glasses. It's quiet enough it doesn't wake me up at night (i use the delayed wash feature to save money on water), but because i run it overnight, i can't comment on the length of the cycles.
A few of the people who wrote reviews complained of water coming out of the bottom and water standing in the bottom of the machine. These reviews gave me some reservations about ordering this machine, but i haven't experienced any of these issues. Just based on my first initial test of this dishwasher, i'd recommend it to anyone. My subsequent washings have all been great, and i've owned it for about three weeks now.
My only negative comments are that the water hoses are a little shorter than i'd like them to be, and i wish it had a handle or something to steer/move it around a bit easier. Otherwise, i couldn't be happier with my selection.
Yes, I recommend this product.

As a portable, this is the ultimate dishwasher! I could not have been more pleased. Performance wise, it is excellent. However, now as we try to convert it to a built-in, as this was the main reason for purchasing such a dishwasher, we are running into problems every time we turn around. There are no instructions to convert it (but there ARE instructions on how to hook the portable up to your sink...hmm), so we are doing this blind. Then, as we have the plumber hook up the lines, he informed us that we need special adapters to connect the hoses. These adapters did not come with it (despite the fact it's advertised as a convertible) and we are having trouble locating them in our small town.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This dishwasher has everything I could need to make my days easier! With three children I found it exhausting to stand at the sink and wash dishes all day. After purchasing this dishwasher it's so simple to load everything and forget about it until we are ready to do a full wash. With this specific dishwasher I can even do a quick 9 minute rinse if I think the dishes will sit longer than expected! No more cracked and chapped hands for me! The dishes come out very clean and the glasses come out sparkling. Even the kids like helping unload, so we've all won out with this one! The only thing I wish it had was a handle to help pull it across the kitchen, but otherwise I am completely satisfied!
Yes, I recommend this product.
