$600.00
Released January, 2008
The Pros:Available in a number of finishes, can always match your kitchen's decor. Easy to install, don't need a professional installer. Door pushes closed relatively easily, gives a solid click to let you know it's closed right.
The Cons:Slightly flimsy design that's possible to warp a bit on install, making it harder to close the door. Wash cycle is very long, well over an hour.

#maytag_mdb6701aw DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK!
I owned this dishwasher for the past 18 month, and it has never worked well.
We replaced our 15-year-old no name dishwasher with this model, because the racks (on the old one) were rusty, and it didn't clean properly anymore.
I did loads of research and finally decided on this Maytag model, at a price of $ 700.- (and Tax). It seemed like a great dishwasher, with extra spray arm, time delay, great program selection...
But you don't always get what you pay for.
It never had proper cleaning power, when it was fully - and correctly - loaded. We tried every dishwasher detergent available, but it made no difference.
Now we only run it 3/4 full, and add an extra squirt of bleach, and the results are somewhat better.
About 3 month ago, it started making a grinding noise, when it was running. My husband (handy with tools and appliances) disassembled the bottom spray arm, and found pieces of plastic had broken off from the dishwasher and were now causing the noise. We removed the plastic pieces, it quieted the diswasher, but did not improve performance.
There was a recall on the dispenser, which has been taken care of. And I don't have an issue with recalls, they do happen unfortunately.
I have an issue with putting your name to a piece of junk and deceiving customers.
I will never buy another Maytag again.

#maytag_mdb6701aw Maytag Model MDB6701AWW2 Broke down after 20 washes. Repaired and broke down again after 6 more washes. Still not repaired 2 months later. Just learned it's also being recalled for fire hazard. Terrible product - no relief from company 'til 3rd breakdown due to same problem. Anticipate that will come quickly after repair, whenever that occurs. Only relief options: new machine but have to pay installation fees, or portion of sale price. Neither worth it, considering only less than 30 wash loads.
