Kaleb,
I am with Rich on this... we had a Maytag for 6 or 7 years. Headaches and
noise. We shopped around when we moved 2 years ago, and settled on a Bosch
from Lowes. Great machine, quiet as a mouse. I have cleaned that bottom
filter exactly twice in two years, both times removing debris about the size of
my thumbnail. (I do rinse the dishes before loading.) And empty it the
following morning, nice and dry.

I went looking at Lowes a little while ago and narrowed it down to
Bosch, Kitchen and, and a Frigidair. There were a few whirpool models
that have the silver ware deal in the door, I kind of like that. I am
thinking I want one with a stainless steel tub rather than plastic.
Reading on lowes, the KA one has better reviews than the Bosch, both are
$599. Bosch has more cycles, but does not have a food disposal but
rather a basket thing you have to empty. Also does not seem to have a
heated dry cycle.
