Maytag Jetclean II Pros

The Jetclean II is very spacious. It allows you to load large bulk kitchen items that you normally have to hand wash. The space also allows for larger loads of dishes to be ran which means you don’t have stray dishes lying around waiting for the next load. You can fit up to 14 place settings with this dishwasher. This dishwasher is ideal for large families or people who have a lot of dinner parties.

One of the biggest benefits of this dishwasher is that it is extremely quiet. You cannot even tell that the dishwasher is running. This is an excellent feature. You won’t be bothered anymore by having to turn up your television too loud because you cannot hear over the dishwasher.

The Jetclean II is very simple to use. You won’t have to read the user’s manual to try and figure it out. The push buttons on the front are very user friendly and you will have no problem learning how to use this dishwasher.

This dishwasher doesn’t have a control panel like the newer dishwashers. The control panels often look very nice and sleek but they are easily damaged because of the water. The push buttons might seem a little more old fashioned but you don’t have to worry about water damage.

Maytag Jetclean II Cons

One thing to think about with the Maytag Jetclean II dishwasher is that it is not very durable. If you have kids that do the dishes and bang things in and out of the dishwasher then you might find yourself buying replacement parts and things. The parts on this dishwasher may break easily. If you are looking for a sturdy model that will last you a long time then this one may not be right for you.

Another thing to think about is that when this dishwasher breaks it will be expensive to fix. Parts are usually under warranty but you will have to pay for the technician to come to your home or other things. These costs might cost you up to half of what you actually pay for the dishwasher. Since the durability of the dishwasher is not very good it is almost certain you will be paying money to fix this appliance.


The racks on the dishwasher come off of the tracks easily. If you are washing extra large pots on the bottom and want the top rack to come off then this is a good thing. However, if your top rack is full of dishes and it comes off the tracks easily then it can fall on the dishes below causing a serious mess. The mess can be really bad if the dishes below are fragile and they break. There is no way to secure the racks on the top any more secure than the way they sit.

Another con of this dishwasher is that the door doesn’t open and close very smooth. It almost seems as if the door doesn’t fit right on the dishwasher. You might not like the dishwasher also if you want to know how far along the cycle is while it is running. There are no indicator lights on the front of the dishwasher for you to be able to tell.

Final Thought

The Maytag Jetclean II is the perfect dishwasher if you want something that fits a large amount of dishes and is very quiet.
