Key Features
4-Blade Stainless Steel Chopper
- No more scraping plates. The 4-blade stainless steel chopper disintegrates the food particles that come off your dishes so they don't end up recirculating and sticking to your dishes and glassware.
Heated Dry
- Up the temperature to reduce excess moisture inside your dishwasher and get dishes nice and dry.
Touch Controls
- You're in control with a simple tap of your finger. Smooth, tap-to-activate settings give you quick and seamless access to powerful cleaning.
Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel
- Easy-to-clean, fingerprint resistant stainless steel helps prevent smudges and keeps your dishwasher looking as good on the outside as it works on the inside.
Quiet at only 47 dBA
- This dishwasher is made to perform at only 47 dBA, so you can enjoy the cleaning power of a mighty Maytag at a low noise level.
10-Year Limited Parts Warranty on the Racks, Chopper Blade and Stainless Steel Tub
- Maytag® dishwashers are covered by a 10-year limited parts warranty on the racks, chopper blade and stainless steel tub. So when we say you can count on your dishwasher for years, we mean it.
Steam Sanitize Option
- The Steam Sanitize option lets you confidently wash important items with a high-temperature rinse that removes 99.999% of food soil bacteria.
2X Life Tested Motor
- Our 2X Life tested motor is built to last and tested to prove it.
Tiered Upper Rack
- After a big meal, you'll need room to fit all your glasses or plates. The tiered upper rack is designed like stadium seating to hold everything from small saucers to large plates and taller glasses.
Premium DuraGuard® Nylon Racks
- Premium DuraGuard® nylon racks have a heavy-duty coating that resists rust.
End-of-Cycle Indicator
- The end-of-cycle indicator lets you know exactly where the dishwasher is in the wash cycle: when it's in process, when it's finished and when the Steam Sanitize option is in use.
ENERGY STAR® Certified
- ENERGY STAR® certified dishwashers use less water and energy than standard models, helping you save money on utility bills.
