Actually, I looked at the LG brand dishwashers, they were about $500 LESS than the Maytag model.
Unfortunately, their grid has HUGE gaps in it .... gigantic. Like three or four inches between wire sections. In addition, it is impossible to adjust the dish holders, which are much bigger than the bowls I use.
Between the size of the grid and the size of the holders, it's a disaster waiting to happen .... all for about $800 (not including the cost of installation).
The NICE thing about this dishwasher (aside from the insane price .... which is not nice ... almost $1400) is that it has two drawer style washing bays which allow you to do two loads at different temperatures. So, I could wash my plastic (which would melt in a hot wash) at a cool temperature at the same time that I put the cat bowls through a sani-wash. Rather than doing two or more loads.
Also, I could stack a large number of the stainless bowls in the top drawer without any worry about then dropping into the water rotation mechanism (the grid spaces are only about one inch square). Being able to wash as many as say 70 bowls in a small load that uses less water is a big plus in my book.
The only HUGE downside is that it's really KitchenAid and I freaking HATE KitchenAid. We're talking about a company that refuses to send parts to an end user. You are not "allowed" to make your own repairs. Even when it is no longer under warranty, you simply MUST use a certified KitchenAid repair person .... and of COURSE they charge extra for driving all the way out here from Austin. I finally had to drive into Austin, bluff them into believing that I was picking up a part for some other company (yes, I paid for it ... don't be silly), and put it in myself. Stupid part was almost $300, and a new unit would have only have been $450 .... if I got another KitchenAid, which I had vowed never to do .... and here I find myself with one on order.
Keeeerap!!!
Oh look .... my new eggs have hatched ....
