Dishwasher Appraisal

Maytag Performa Built-In Dishwasher

This is a white, built-in residential dishwasher from the Maytag Performa line, likely dating from the early to mid-2000s. The unit features a plastic exterior panel with a top-mounted control interface. The control panel includes a mechanical rotary dial for cycle selection (with settings such as Light Wash, Normal Wash, Heavy Wash, and Rinse Only) and a series of push buttons for options like Heated Dry and Water Heating. The appliance is finished in a standard white color, common for mid-range kitchen equipment of its era. Physically, the item shows clear signs of age and use; there is visible discoloration and yellowing of the plastic components, particularly on the handle/vent assembly and the rotary dial. Notable scuffs and dark marks are present on the upper right quadrant of the main door panel. The lower kickplate appears slightly misaligned. This model represents a standard mechanical-drive dishwasher known for durability but lacks the energy efficiency and quiet-operation features of modern stainless steel tub units. The 'Performa' branding is clearly visible in the center of the control fascia alongside the Maytag logo.
