Maytag® Top control dishwasher with Dual Power Filtration MDB7959SKZ
Dual Power FiltrationSkip soaking, scrubbing and pre-rinsing with Maytag engineering that puts an end to pre-work. Industry-exclusive Dual Power Filtration combines 100% microfiltration and a 4-blade stainless steel chopper to filter out then dispose of any food in its path.
PowerBlast® cycleThe PowerBlast® cycle scours away stubborn foods like egg yolk, peanut butter and even dried-on oatmeal. High-pressure jets, increased water temperatures and hot steam work together to clear food off dishes—so all you have to do is load them in.
Long Heated Dry optionUp the temperature with an internal heater to reduce excess moisture inside your dishwasher. The Long Heated Dry option gets large loads of dishes nice and dry.
Short Heated Dry optionReduce excess moisture inside your dishwasher and get smaller loads of dishes nice and dry in less time.
Touch controlsYou’re in control with a simple tap of your finger. Smooth, tap-to-activate settings give you quick and seamless access to powerful cleaning.
Fingerprint resistant stainless steelEasy-to-clean, fingerprint resistant stainless steel resists smudges and streaks to keep your dishwasher looking as good on the outside as it works on the inside.
Increased upper rack heightPut bulky pots and pans in their place with increased upper rack height that fits big dishes usually left for the bottom—so there’s no need for a second load.
Leak DetectThe Leak Detect system is a combination of multiple features that measure and monitor the flow of water at various points. If a problem is sensed, the unit can take action by draining the tub and alerting you when necessary.
Quiet at only 50 dBAThis dishwasher is made to perform at only 50 dBA, so you can enjoy the cleaning power of a mighty Maytag at a low noise level.
