Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice Little Dishwasher!!! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband recently installed this dishwasher in our kitchen and it was a pretty simple install. It took about him about an hour and half to take the old one out and install this new one and it looks amazing. It has 4 cleaning modes Heavy, Normal, Eco and delicate. The noise level is not bad at all compared to my older dishwasher and does a great job cleaning the dishes as well.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good brand and quality [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was selected to use the Midea MDF18A1AST dishwasher for a while now and I’m really happy with how it performs. It’s surprisingly quiet during cycles and doesn’t disturb the house at all. The cleaning results are excellent, even with greasy dishes, and it dries them quite well too. It’s also very energy efficient and doesn’t use too much water. The design is sleek and fits nicely in my kitchen. The only small downside is that the cycles can take a bit long, but overall it’s worth it for how clean everything comes out.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Perfect for a small space! Works great so far and [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We just installed this dishwasher in our kitchen where we didn’t have one before, and it fits perfectly in the smaller space. When we were offered this product we decided to just make room in our kitchen and take out a smaller cabinet and we were able to get it installed with some help! I love how clean and nice it looks! It matches great with our other stainless appliances. Our first run was a quick wash on some dinner dishes, and I was impressed — everything came out really clean and totally dry! The dry time is fast. The photos I added are the small load from dinner. They turned out great! This was a few hours after the washer ran and dried The removable filter basket is also nice and makes it super easy to keep clean when it comes time to do so. Overall, I’m really happy with it so far! It’s quiet, does a great job, and is perfect for smaller kitchens like ours. Definitely recommend for a smaller space if you can make it work!
