Midea MDF18A1AST Built-in Dishwasher with 8 Place Settings, 6 Washing Programs, Stainless Steel Tub, Heated Dry, Energy Star

We had another brand for 15+ years and it sprang a fatal leak, so I searched Home Depot and Lowes, then Amazon. The box stores were charging a delivery fee, and I would have to wait a minimum of ten days for delivery. I found this one on Amazon for $50 less than the stores, and free shipping, and it was delivered the next day! From the very first load I've been impressed - this machine is superior to the old one in many ways. It's always gotten the dishes clean, even without pre-cleaning like I had to do before. The racks are solid and have some weight to them, so I no longer have to balance out the load to keep the rack from tipping. Also the configuration of the racks is nice - I'm able to stack plates, bowls, whatever without any issues. It's quiet enough that I don't notice that it's running. I waited almost three months to write this review just to be sure that I still liked the machine. I would buy it again in a heartbeat!

I had a great overall experience with this Midea dishwasher; it's perfect for my apartment. It has 8 place settings, easily accommodating my daily dishes. While the capacity isn't particularly large, the layout is reasonable, and the flexible racks can accommodate various dish sizes, easily cleaning the dishes for a family of three to four in one go. The machine offers 6 washing programs, allowing you to choose based on the level of soiling. The light wash is quick and saves water and energy, while the heavy-duty mode provides strong cleaning power. The stainless steel interior not only enhances the dishwasher's durability but also effectively prevents the growth of dirt and grime, making it durable, hygienic, and easy to clean, ensuring peace of mind even after prolonged use. The heated drying function is a bonus; dishes come out dry and spotless, reducing the need for secondary wiping and making them more convenient to use. The noise level during operation is well-controlled and doesn't disrupt daily life. It's worth noting that its height is approximately 32.4 inches, slightly lower than some standard cabinet heights (usually 85 cm), so a filler panel may be needed during installation. The water inlet connection needs to be tightened securely during installation to prevent leaks; testing before installation is recommended. Overall, this dishwasher has a simple appearance, stable performance, and excellent cleaning results. It saves both time and effort, making it ideal for families or RV users who value an efficient and clean kitchen experience.

While it worked well for a couple months. It started leaking. I contacted customer support, after trouble shooting it was determined it needed replaced. After I was told I would get a refund, I haven't heard anything back

This is my first 18” dishwasher but I’d buy this one again. Not many options for 18”ers, and most of them are substantially more expensive then a typical 24”. I have used this dishwasher for about a month and really find it to be quality, and a good looking addition in the kitchen. The drawers move easily and feel solid. The door feels heavy. I’m honestly surprised at how quality it feels for the price tag. It’s very quiet. Thre is brief period at the beginning and end of the cleaning cycle where you can hear the pump humming, it’s about as loud as a microwave running, but it only lasts for a minute or so. The rest of the time you barely hear it. Installation was easy. I did have to build a bit of a “platform” for the legs to stand on so it would be flush with underside of countertop. You could just buy some 1x3s and have it sit on top of those. I considered a Bosch that was 2x the price but I’m happy with this bad boy.

After having a horrible experience with UPS (said address was wrong even though all other packages arrived from other shippers and also came in damaged). After contacting Amazon about the issue they had another one shipped out. It arrived on time and in perfect condition from a Amazon driver. Hopefully I will be able to avoid UPS in the future as Amazon's drivers are way better with treating all packages with care. The product is great very high quality build and has plenty of room. It is not overly complicated and not too loud. Easy to clean and cleans dishes well. Installation was very easy but would be better if it came with a few parts (90 degree water hookup, waterline, and hose clamps)

Update: Midea has been kind enough to replace the unit even though it's out of warranty. The replacement experience was great, and so far the new dishwasher is working quite well. I'll update if that changes. Fit our kitchen perfectly, but it's been constant problems ever since. It's always clogged or refusing to drain or whatever else. When it works it cleans the dishes well, but it just doesn't work often enough to recommend it.

I recently moved to a new place and needed a brand-new dishwasher. While browsing through Amazon, I came across one from Midea. Midea is a well-established Chinese brand known for its quality and value. Without hesitation, I decided to order this dishwasher. I haven't been able to install it yet because my kitchen is under construction, but I am excited to open the box and take a look! The dishwasher features a modern white finish that complements my kitchen decor, with a sturdy stainless steel interior. The intuitive control panel and smart mesh drain design make it easy to use and clean. The spacious interior and adjustable racks offer great customization for different cookware sizes. Installation instructions was straightforward, and although I haven't used it yet, it looks user-friendly. Plus, it's Energy Star certified, giving me confidence in its energy efficiency and potential savings on utility bills. In summary, my initial impressions of the Midea white dishwasher are very positive. It has a great appearance, offers useful features, and seems to be a dependable choice for anyone looking to enhance their kitchen with a reliable dishwasher. I hope it serves me well!
