Steve in Japan "Islander" (Okinawa) - See all my reviews
First off, this dishwasher is the answer to my prayers (quiet) and my wife's (cleans really well). The cheap Whirlpool it replaced made a racket and left crud all over the machine and sometimes on the dishes too. I have had it for 6 months now and it works perfectly and is virtually self-cleaning. Love the stainless interior.
Some quibbles, but I will add that they mostly come from the 7759 being the low end model in the range:
1) Having all the controls and indicators on the top edge of the door is very elegant and avoids little hands etc., but that puts it under the counter edge when the door is closed so you have no way to see what the status is. What were they thinking??? The instruction manual says that you can open the door and add/remove items BEFORE THE MAIN WASH BEGINS, but with no indicator on the front and the machine being so quiet, I can't tell when this is. (The manual shows an indicator but this apparently exists on a different model). And (sorry "Yaki", you're wrong or have another model), if you stop the cycle after the main wash begins, it will NOT resume and you have to add new detergent and start all over.
2) The top rack is non-adjustable, although it is obviously designed so that on some other model in the series it can be adjusted. Not a real problem since it allows very tall items in the lower rack.
3) The silverware baskets supplied seem to be left over from a model with a square-cornered lower rack, because there is some space wasted when they are used. The angled corners on the rack do add some marginal space: I have no complaint about the capacity of this unit.
4) "Heated dry" is ON as a default. Easy enough to turn off, but this seems like an possible energy-waster since the dishes end up nice and hot anyway from the hot water and the good insulation, much hotter than our old unit. So they dry quickly and cleanly on their own in a few minutes after I crack the door open. I will say that after the complimentary rinse aid was used up I have not felt any need to buy more, but we do have soft water.
5) To get the door open in a flat position you have to bend down and give it a little extra push to overcome the built-in friction. At least the old Whirlpool opened easily because of its weak springs. The door springs on the Maytag look like they come from a Sherman tank but at least they will never break.
6) Installation was easier than typical thanks to the long drain hose supplied and an undercarriage that is fairly free of obstacles. My dealer remembered that a hose bibb adaptor was needed so gave it to me for free. However, the metal shield on the electrical junction did not fit well, and what was that weird screw they use??
All in all, it's probably one of the best DWs around and a fair price too.
