Someone asked about the Maytag mvwp575gw Normal Cycle...
The Normal "Eco" cycle (half tub fill and spray rinse) is about 22 minutes long plus the time to fill or about 25 to 26 minutes total for me. I only noticed one wash pattern (suitable for all loads I do except delicates), which lasts for about seven minutes. There are three spray rinses with a short spin between each. I do not have a way to measure the spin speed. It seems like there is a low (160 rpm), medium (500 rpm), and high (700 rpm) on the comparable commercial models. It seems like this one uses medium spins with a high for the last few minutes of the final spin.

Yugi, about your question...
I can answer part of it. Normal with an option like presoak selected is a full tub wash and full tub rinse. The wash cycle is also 7 minutes like the half fill and only one wash pattern, so the only difference I could see was a full tub rinse instead of spray rinse AND the wash temperature is really selectable.
Mixed wash cycle lasts about 9 minutes whereas I believe the Powerwash is more like 12. Mixed has two wash patterns--one shorter and faster movement and the other is longer and slower movements that alternate. It has a full rub rinse. If I remember correctly the Powerwash has a few spray rinses before going into the full tub rinse. The wash pattern is different. I will try to do a load soon and post back.

Powerwash...
I did a Powerwash load last night.
It seems the only real difference between Powerwash and the mixed cycle is the length of the wash cycle--Powerwash is three minutes longer.
The wash cycle was 12 minutes long. It seemed to alternate every two minutes between a short and fast wash pattern to a longer and slower wash pattern.
There were not any spray rinses with this load. It does spray down the clothes while slowly spinning before stopping before stopping to fill the tub with the rinse water.
However, I think it does do a spray rinse when there are lots of bubbles before going into the full tub fill for rinse. I will try to test this soon.
