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

This is a very good dishwasher. It was easy to install and looks nice. The controls are a little quirky but work as expected. Most importantly, it gets the dishes nice and clean. I installed it in a park model mobile home and it is excellent.

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!

DO NOT BUY! This dishwasher is only 32 inches tall. I can either put a 3" filler panel at the top or toss it and get a normal dishwasher that fits a standard opening. It's bad enough I had to settle for an 18" wide unit but with the loss of 3" on the height I don't even know if a 16 oz. tumbler will even fit on the upper rack. I guess I was supposed to double check the height before purchasing but I have never heard of a 32" tall dishwasher, so why on this earth would I think to do that???? It's past the return date, lessons learned, purchase closer to the installation date and don't buy appliances on Amazon, and if you do check absolutely everything because Amazon appears to have no issues selling janky products.

Besides it being a little bit more expensive than its 24 inch counterpart, it’s actually a pretty darn good dishwasher. I don’t particularly like dishwashers, and for a small house that had aBesides it being a little bit more expensive than its 24 inch counterpart, it’s actually a pretty darn good dishwasher. I don’t particularly like dishwashers, and for a small house that had a 24 inch, the 18 inch is certainly a nice upgrade and downgrade at the same time. This model in particular works well and looks great and is fairly simple. I just wish that it was priced less than a 24 inch.

Don't get me wrong, like the machine. Top rack was not as useful as bottom. If I had small flat dishes or cup and saucer sets for 4 or 6 people, the set would work fine. However, it cleans the six 5 inch bowls I crammed into the top rack with no issues...points for that. The silverware basket was convertible from the slotted to non-slotted and that made for more flexible arranging of the forks and spoons of differing sizes. Overall, a quiet running and decent cleaning machine.

18 inch machine out does a larger version. I've always had full size dishwashers by major name brands, however, this is the first time I tried an off brand and found it easy to install by myself, quite a lot of dishes can be done with a smaller machine and even on quick cycle, the dishes are spotless and dry. I highly recommend this for any wanting a great machine at a fraction of the cost.

Overall, it works and am pleased with the results. It washes my dishes. However along the way there was a problem installing it. The installation instructions do not match the unit I received. Both the manual received in the box and the one downloaded from their web site has a major problem. The hookups on the unit do not match the locations as shown in the manuals. It was a relatively simple matter to remove the toe kick plate to find them, but also was concerning about how well the rest of the installation would go. Fortunately everything worked out..Pros:One of the quietest dishwashers I have ever owned.Cons:The mentioned installation manual not being correct.You have to follow exactly the manual to get the thing to start! My normal habit is to load the dishes, shut the door, press the appropriate buttons to start it. But NO, as explained in the manual, you:1. Load the dishes2. Press the Power Button for 3 sec. And it will beep.3. Close the door.4. Now you can press the Start Button and it will again beep and immediately start.Kind of illogical to me, but it has trained me and has worked every time since.The “cup rack” is totally useless. It blocks the entire rack area beneath it and all of the cups that I use are to tall to fit and be able to close the rack. Fortunately, this was an easy fix to remove that stupid rack and recover the wasted space.Overall after a months use, I am relatively pleased with its operation, will know in a year or so if it is really a good buy, but so far happy and would recommend it to a friend/family.
