we recently bought a Maytag that has a lot of room in it. the bottom shelf can hold really tall items as it is lower than the typical dishwasher. the top shelf also holds taller items, and that is where the bowls go, too. I thought my DH was nuts when he chose this one and it took getting used to, having to bend over farther to load it. Hate to say it, but DH made a great decision!
