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

Perfect for a RV
This little dishwasher is amazing. The installation was pretty straight forward. Tightening the inlet elbow was a little tough. I suggest you test it prior to installation to make sure it doesn’t leak. Other than that everything went flawlessly.I installed this in my RV and I had to build an enclosure for it by extending the island counter top. This has been a great addition and I wish I had done it sooner. I hate washing dishes. Lol.The washer works very well. It holds a lot more than I thought it would and the dishes come out very clean. There will be some water spots if you don’t use an additive which is ok with me. It runs very quiet and doesn’t use a lot of water so your tanks don’t fill up too fast.I highly recommend it. I have no regrets on this purchase.

Do not buy
The lower rack is too close to the top rack so normal sized dinner plates on the lower rack will obstruct the rotating spray wash handle. They should have moved the upper rack about 3/4 to 1 inch higher up so that plates fit in the bottom without obstructing the rotating spray wash handle. The top rack has AMPLE room above it (4 to 5 inches clearance to top of unit even with a large 16 oz tall cofffee cup in top rack). The rack tines on the lower rack are also angled outwards (towards unit’s interior walls) so plates will lay out towards wall and hit the wall so you can’t fill the tines and still close the dishwasher. This appears to only be sold online and now I know why. If you could actually SEE it you’d know it’s poorly designed.Garbage. After 4 months it’s completely broken. The panel is on, but a cycle won’t run unless I just push buttons rapidly in succession and then only eco or delicate cycle turns on. So I either need to spend $140 service fee for a repair company, plus whatever parts are needed, or buy a new dishwasher. Heated dry never worked well. Totally saturated at end of cycle.Nearly 2.5 hours to run a cycle.

Quiet and cleans very well.
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.

Good helper
This Midea built-in dishwasher is truly amazing! The 8-place setting capacity is perfect for our small family’s daily meals, and the 6 program options are very practical, especially the quick wash and intensive wash. The stainless steel inner tank has a great feel, and the heating and drying effect is exceptionally thorough; the dishes come out dry and warm. It runs much quieter than expected, and its energy and water efficiency is reassuring. Since installation, the kitchen is much tidier, finally freeing up my hands, and washing dishes has become an easy task—it’s definitely an essential appliance for improving happiness, and I highly recommend it!
