Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel Top Control Powerful Dishwasher at Only 47 dBA<sup>2<sup> MDB7959SHZ

Features

Most Powerful Motor on the Market⁴

Maytag® dishwashers feature the most powerful motor on the market⁴. Powerful enough to handle dried-on egg yolk and peanut butter without prerinsing, this motor can handle your dirtiest dishes.

4-Blade Stainless Steel Chopper

No more scraping plates. The 4-blade stainless steel chopper disintegrates the food particles that come off your dishes so they don't end up recirculating and sticking to your dishes and glassware.

PowerBlast® Cycle

The PowerBlast™ cycle removes stuck-on food with high pressure spray jets, increased temperature and hot steam to finish the job.

Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel

Easy-to-clean, fingerprint resistant stainless steel helps prevent smudges and keeps your dishwasher looking as good on the outside as it works on the inside.

Additional Features

Long Heated Dry Option

Up the temperature with an internal heater to reduce excess moisture inside your dishwasher. The Long Heated Dry option gets full loads of dishes nice and dry.

Short Heated Dry Option

Up the temperature to reduce excess moisture inside your dishwasher and get smaller loads of dishes nice and dry in less time.

Touch Controls

You're in control with a simple tap of your finger. Smooth, tap-to-activate settings give you quick and seamless access to powerful cleaning.

Quiet at only 47 dBA²

This dishwasher is made to perform at only 47 dBA⁵, so you can enjoy the cleaning power of a mighty Maytag at a low noise level.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Eggiwil from A great dishwasher I love this dishwasher. We bought because our daughter had the earlier model, and I was impressed with hers. It is quiet, it gets the dishes really clean, it is easy to load, and holds a lot. I highly recommend this dishwasher.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rhondavt from Love it! Have had my dishwasher for about 6 weeks now. Can't say enough good things about it. From the exterior profile/finish, sleek and clean. Interior stainless finish just looks fabulous. The adjustable top rack is invaluable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 6ixy from Exactly what I was hoping for! I had always heard of the "Maytag" brand and did my research before deciding to get the dishwasher. I wanted lots of room,being able to adjust the inside height, leftover food to be chopped away, quiet and a good clean - this is exactly what I got! I am so pleased with my new Maytag diswasher!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Toxic Toy from everything we had hoped for. Were very happy dishes are very clean no white stain in the glass bottom like our old dishwasher. So quite you need to check the lights. Then get close to hear that it is running.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Davinci130 from Amazing cleaning! I had this professionally installed and started to use it right away. I am so impressed with the design, room for everything and customizable. Even more impressive was the actual cleaning, first off it’s hard to tell if it’s even on unless you’re standing right next to it and, when the dishes come out they are the cleanest I have ever witnessed. Absolutely amazing. I hand washed dishes for about three weeks while I researched Dishwashers and decided on this Maytag. My wife would re-wash the dishes I hand washed. Well not anymore, not with this awesome dishwasher.

Rated 5 out of 5 by bmills from As Expected - Maybe Better! Received and installed about 10 days ago. It replaced a similar unit, although not as high end. We are extremely please with how quiet it is. Our home is a great room design meaning the kitchen, dining and living areas are connected. When running, we cannot hear this dishwasher. Oh, it does a great job cleaning the dishes too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Johnny Homewood from So quite with a food grinder and so nice What can I say its a breeze to install, nice and quite, the best. I started with Frigidaire but but after the microwave little clip broke I did my research. Replaced the microwave with a Maytag. The next kitchen appliance that went was the dishwasher the old Frigidaire the dishes came out dirtier then when they went in. Again I did my research and Maytag offers what I want. The four blade food grinder, power wash, stainless steel. Installed it last night then washed 2 loads. The auto feature that will adjust the cleaning cycle and time I'm like WOW. Maytag reputation, quality, and features make their products what I'm looking for.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Ang82flowers from Nice dishwasher I bought this dishwasher to replace a 13 year old Kitchenaide that the top shelf was broke but it still ran great. I went with the Maytag b/c it was fingerprint resistant, had the food grinder built in and didn't have to empty a food waste basket once a week. It is not as quiet as my old washer but it does a good job. I don't care for the dish prongs on the top self they are not tall enough to make my cereal bowls sit up straight therefore they do not come out as clean as I would like. Good dishwasher for the price.

Rated 4 out of 5 by CrankinSteve from Well Built, Easy to Install, Clean Dishes I bought this to replace another dishwasher that stopped working. My main interest was solid construction leading to quiet operation, powerful motor, ability to grind food particles, and capabilities to clean and thoroughly dry dishes. I find that it has quality construction in all components. Installation was a snap with easy access to water fill, drain tube, and electrical. I like the wheels on the back making it easy to slide it into its location. It has met all of my main requirements. It looks great with its very clean button-free front and runs with almost no noticeable noise. The only disappointment is with the rack design as I find that it does not easily accommodate bowls on the bottom or wide coffee mugs on the top. It is okay, just not great. Basically, the racks offer no real flexibility other than the top being adjustable either up or down. Maybe over time I will find creative ways to load it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Loud from NOT great I bought this 2 months ago and had it professionally installed. Not once have pots or pans come out clean or free of residue. I just unloaded it again and went to this web site to try to find instructions in case I am doing something wrong. so far no luck so I guess I will go hand wash the 4 pots and two pans I just unloaded

Rated 1 out of 5 by clarkbar from Not great for now Bought this in November and it took a month to get it . Then had turn around and send it back because of the door wouldn't go down all the way. They order me another one takes a month before I get it. Then if nothing goes wrong I will rate it better.
