The Maytag Jetclean Plus MDB4709AW is well within our price range yet loaded with features. Maytag MDB4709AW reviews at Lowe's are mixed on the subjects of durability and noise. At 61 dBA, this dishwasher has one of the highest noise levels we encountered. On the other hand, one user who posted a Maytag MDB4709AW review at Lowe's says it's quieter than a previous dishwasher. Consumers who posted Maytag MDB4709AW reviews on the website of appliance retailer AJ Madison say the dishwasher performs well and is a good value.
According to Maytag MDB4709AW reviews, users appreciate the tall tub and removable top rack, which provide plenty of room for pots, pans, and cookie sheets. The capacity is 14 place settings. It has three wash levels, the fewest on our list, and four cycles: normal, heavy, china/light, and rinse only, which is helpful if the dishes are going to sit in the machine for a while before you run a full wash cycle. This dishwasher's strong suit is its many options. The ToughScrub option designed to remove baked-on food. This model also has a sanitizing rinse, high temperature wash, and heated dry. The automatic temperature control adjusts the water temperature according to how dirty the dishes are, eliminating the need to set the cycle. The Jetclean Plus feature uses high-pressure spray jets to remove stuck-on food. The dishwasher has a controlled lockout system so that small, prying fingers can't change the settings once the machine has been turned on. It comes in white (MDB4709AWW), black (MDB4709AWB), stainless steel (MDB4709AWS), and bisque (MDB4709AWQ).
Most people seem to feel that the Maytag MDB4709AW is an average machine with a lot of space, some really good features, and a tendency to be noisy. There are some reports of leaks and control panel malfunctions, but on the whole it seems like a good buy.
