Maytag JetClean II MDB6701AW Dishwasher
Maytag JetClean II series model number MDB6701AW Pros: The dishwasher is surprisingly quite. The drying cycle is incredibly effective, leaving the dishes completely dry. Cons: The dryer is surprisingly energy inefficient, and my energy bill strongly suffers. The utensil rack is flimsy and cheap looking. Rating on a scale of 1 to 5: 3 out of 5 The Maytag JetClean II series is a sturdy and dependable dishwasher.
I have owned the appliance for 18 months and have not had a single problem with it's operation. The washing cycle is quick and effective, and the drying cycle works remarkably well. Conversely, the dishwasher's utensil rack is of lackluster construction, resembling more of a flimsy conglomeration of plastic than useful accessory. The machine itself performs well, and I commend it's superior noise reduction capabilities, but it's energy consumption is extraordinary.
The energy bill for my residence increased by nearly 20% after the purchase of the machine, and has remained at this elevated level, even without frequent use. I find this dishwasher to be of great quality for it's price point, but with it's lackluster accessories package and exorbitant energy consumption, I would urge the savvy shopper to look for a more economical solution to dish care.
