We recently bought the Maytag JetClean Plus (MDB8959AWW) to replace our old dishwaher. Our inspiration to purchase this dishwasher was the SteamClean option, Silverware Blast and Maytag’s 10-year warranty. Cosmetically, we were quite impressed with the interior stainless steel tub, as well as the top placement of the dishwasher’s control panel. Installation was fairly simple, and easier to install than our previous dishwashwer, which is about 7 years old. Once installed, the sleek design of the front panel really comes to life than when looking at demo models of the dishwasher. After an easy installation, we’ve given it quite a few runs and we’re very pleased with the results of our JetClean Plus.
The Silverware Blast is superb on the JetClean Plus. Our household isn’t huge fans of pre-washing our silverware before sending it to the dishwasher, so it’s a big help with the stickier foods such as peanut butter and eggs. While our old dishwasher would often leave a sticky residue on silverware, the JetClean Plus left our silverware very clean.
The SteamClean option also plays a big role in cleaning dishes with harder to remove foods as well. We use the SteamClean feature when we’re washing dishes such as glass baking dishes and frying pans. The JetClean Plus completely removed some of the more stubborn, cooked in stains that were the result of baking things such as apple crisp, as well as some overcooked dinners we’ve recently encountered. The SteamClean actually got into tough to reach places, like the corners of our pans and bakeware that our old dishwasher would commonly miss. This feature alone has made the dishwasher more than worth it.
The adjustable upper rack was an added bonus that was something we didn’t appreciate until we had it. Before this dishwasher, we were forced to handwash larger pots and skillets that didn’t fit in our old dishwasher. With the JetClean’s adjustable rack, we were able to finally fit those annoying dishes into the dishwasher while still fitting glasses in on the upper rack.
Though we were skeptical before we purchased the JetClean Plus, we found that the interior tub’s design actually does help dishes dry faster. By our estimates, we figure this dishwasher has reduced drying time of our dishes by about half that of our old dishwasher. Water stains were a problem as well with our old dishwasher. I think that the quick drying actually helps to completely eliminate this problem, so that water droplets don’t get to “settle in” to your dishes. Our glasses are spotless.
As some added things that we’ve noticed, the Maytag JetClean Plus made minimal noise in our house compared to our old dishwasher, the controls were simple to use and as we understand it, the unit is very energy efficient. We’ll be looking forward to the money we can save with this dishwasher compared to our old one, but we’re very satisfied with the JetClean Plus as our choice of the dishwasher in our household. Maytag has certainly impressed us with this dishwasher.
