Description:
The Maytag MDB8979SFZ takes on stuck-on food using its PowerBlast cycle, which combines high-pressure water jets, hot steam, and increased water temperature, and it will probably sound just like the average Joe of dishwashers, as it reels in a somewhat-average 48-dBa noise rating. That being said, it is not necessarily the fastest in terms of speed-washing, as its quick-wash cycle takes an above-average 59 minutes to complete.
