Midea Mini Dishwasher MDWMINI

Bought brand new but faulty right from unboxing with Error code E1. Did not even get a chance to use it, refund process cumbersome and unnecessary. Do not recommend. Show details

A little gem – This little gem has been working well for me for the past two years. Ideal for a single person in rental situations as no plumbing is required. Show details

DO NOT PURCHASE MINI MIDEA - KEEP THE BOX UNTIL WARRANTY EXPIRES!!!!! BE AWARE ABOUT LIMITED SERVICE – MideaDo not purchase this product. With less than a month it stopped working; the appliance does not turn on at all. I am having such a hard time with the Midea after sales and also with my Deal to have it replaced. I paid almost $500 Australian dollars and feel that I actually wasted my money! After back and forth between Midea after sales and… Read more

My deal (the seller) - Today , the 14/03/24 I was informed by My deal that to make a warranty claim, I needed to have the original box and to pay for the item (15-20 kg) to be sent by mail from Sydney to Melbourne.

I do not keep any boxes from appliances I buy - specially large boxes; I live in a smal unit- and that is the main reason why I purchase mini Midea. And if I had the original box I was still Jane to be the one paying hundreds to sent this to service under warranty. How much would that costs?

Where the customer was informed about this requirement?.. I have the warranty card in front of my and it DOES NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT NEEDING THE ORIGINAL BOX TO MAKE A WARRANTY CLAIM…your warranty card also says about finding service near you. Is Melbourne the closest service to NSW/ Sydney?

I just had a call with My deal customer service and I made clear that I am unhappy about this outcome- I do not accept that. I divided the purchase in 4 instalments and I still have 1 payment to make - less than 1 month use to be told that I cannot claim warranty because of box and when if I had the box I would a total spends hundreds to send the item back to Melbourne?!!!

Look from now on, until this problem is resolved I'll make sure to spend time daily to complain about Midea and MyDeal ....I will add all the details to ensure that future customer are fully aware about this. 

It will be my life mission to damage the reputation of Midea and My deal. I'll do that until I forget that paid almost $500 for having this issue! Please, resolve the issue!!!!

Perfect compact dishwasher – This is perfect for me! I don't need a large one and it is so easy to use. Show details ·  1

Great except won't take dinner size plates – It is a great small dishwasher and cleans well .. BUT.. yhe advertising says '3 PLACE SETTING ' ...NO IT ISNT TRUE because it does NOT take dinner size plates..3 place settings is dinner plate, bread plate, dessert plate .. so false advertising really .. however my son loves it apart from that Show details ·  1

Changed my life – this machine is fantastic,, cleans really well and for a small dishwasher fits alot in it. it doesnt take huge plates and it is noisey but still such a time and energy saver Show details

Absolutely brilliant. Can't live without it – This dishwasher has made an amazing difference in my life. Washing up used to be the bane of my existence but my darling little dishwasher has made a real difference. I use it every night and it happily copes with a day's dishes. There is nowhere in my kitchen to fit or plumb a dishwasher so this is perfect as it doesn't need any installation.… Read more

Really easy to clean. Had a couple of problems. 1 overfilled the water tank. All you have to do is follow the directions to get it going again. Never having had a dishwasher before I didn't load it properly and a few things were full of water after washing. I've now learned to follow the directions more closely. I cannot praise this darling machine enough. It cleans brilliantly and is so easy to use. Thank you Midea. * TIP* keep your box and packaging in case you need service and use Aldi dishwashing powder.

I love my mini dishwasher – I really needed a small dishwasher to wash all my baby bottles and pump parts and this one works perfectly. I like that I can see inside (for when you cant remember if that teat is washing or you just misplaced), it doesn't use an insane amount of water, and it has a great steam cycle specific for the baby bottles. Show details

Love it – It's worked well for me so far. No issues. Very happy with purchasing Show details

Love it – Generally very satisfied with this little wonder. I’m a rinser/scraper, so the filters don’t need frequent cleaning and it has not been clogged yet. I don’t use it daily, once a week or so, theres just me and the cat and we don’t use much “stuff”. 1. Have not used all features… theres a fruit and veg washing feature but I’m not into filling a… Read more

dishwasher just for that. No babies here, no baby bottles washing needed. 2. The glasses I use are not especially delicate so I put them in the same cycle as general wash. 3. Its too small to deal with my cookware so thats still done in the sink. 4. Only used the “ECO” cycle once, and it seemed to me that it spent about the same amount of time in dishwashing as the regular (1 hour) cycle, just longer in drying…. and that was less than satisfactory. So I only use the 1 hour cycle now, when I have a full load. 5. A full load for me is 2 coffee mugs, 2 glasses, (or 4 mugs) 2 bread and butter plates (my dinner plates are too tall), 4 bowls (the bowls are an awkward shape) and that’s about it. Cutlery goes in the tray above the mugs with spoons and forks hanging. I don’t like the supplied cutlery basket which is more obstructive to cleaning than it should be.

Generally I like this unit. It looks good and works well. I don’t have space for a full size dishwasher so I’m happy with the compromises of a small unit.

It seems to work ok – Seems to be a good product just wish I got the colour I ordered as I seemed to pay extra for the colour I chose and didn't get anyway the one that I received is a different colour

Love mine, and after sales is great – Washes great and clean if you use the right setting, prefect for a single mum and one child household to reduce work. Quiet operating and easy to use with a basically self explanatory display panel. If you choose not to hook up to water, tank beeps to let you know when full. Did have a small hiccup with my first one but after sales support was… Read more

friendly and efficient and replaced the whole dishwasher so I was up and away again. Have suggested to many friends tho caravan or do not have the space to plumb a dishwasher or are renting and can’t. Sits conveniently on top of my microwave

For person who had it 5 months and it stopped working – Ours had problems too and the F4 code kept coming up. I think it means you have too much water in the tank. I carefully tipped it upside down for the water excess drained. It seems to be working now but I’m not certain whether it gets filled with 5 litres every wash or only when it needs to be topped up?

Too small, unable to do plates/bowls – Great job on cups/mugs/glasses and most of the cutlery. The spray isn’t able to get into bowls The dividers between plates are too close together so the Plates fall against each other and the spray can’t clean them. Show details

It's changed my life! – After looking for a benchtop dishwasher for many years and finding them to take up too much bench space, I had all but given up and then I found this dream machine! I have a small apartment kitchen that can't fit a normal dishwasher, this is perfect, it sits in the corner and doesn't require plumbing. It fits most things although it must be noted… Read more

that normal size plates do not fit. Deep bowls also take up a lot of room so slimmer bowls are better. There are plenty of settings, all easy to use. Dishes and cutlery are clean every time and no pre rinsing required. It's not too loud and quite economical. I would highly recommend.

Stoped working after 5 months – The dishwasher worked well until 5 months later when it started giving this E4 error message. So i sent it back to midea and they proceeded to tell me theres nothing wrong with it. Basically they break and Midea probably wont honor the warranty, disgusting Show details

Best Decision ever – It took me a few months to make the decision and I thought about buying this dishwasher constantly. Best decision i ever made, love my mini D, Its compact, quiet and very easy to use and no plumbing required. Highly Recommend. Show details

Good for renters if you don't have plumbing for a dishwasher – As there don't seem to be any reviews of this dishwasher out there I've made this a long one, TL;DR posted at the end. I've owned this dishwasher for around a month now and it has been great for washing all sorts of dishes. The main drawcard of the dishwasher is that it doesn't require plumbing, you just fill the tank manually with a jug and… Read more ·  2

then place the drain hose into a sink or bucket. So far we mainly use the 1hr wash and ECO wash (2:55) programs and they seem to do a pretty good job of cleaning, the short glassware wash works well too. I am yet to try the other washes (fruit, baby bottles and glassware steam wash). We normally rinse dishes under the tap before putting them in the dishwasher so there are no large bits of food left but it still does a good job of removing difficult things like melted cheese from bowls etc. The drying function with the small fan to bring in fresh air works ok, plastic items don't dry very well (although that tends to happen with all dishwashers) and the drying only really works somewhat on the long ECO cycle which dries for nearly an hour. The design looks really good and it is a neat gimmick to have the glass door so you can see the wash happening, there is a small LED light in the roof which turns on when the door is opened and for the first 10 minutes or so of the wash so you can see inside.

It takes up quite a lot of bench space due to its size, and as the fill point for the tank is on the top of the dishwasher you can't really put it under anything or store items on top of it. Although the fill port on the top has a guide-type thing in it, it is very easy to accidentally pour water down the back of the machine and the guide also tends to make water flick up and flow back out of the port over the top of the machine. After a few fills you get the hang of it but it can be frustrating at first. The cutlery basket works well and the dish rack works ok, it doesn't fit 'full-size' dinner plates but it does fit 24 cm sized plates which aren't too hard to find. The dish rack is also a bit awkward to fit bowls (unless they are the kind with a rim so they can stand up like plates) which means you can only wash two or three bowls at a time. I don't know what the designers were thinking but the top glass rack isn't big enough to fit even the smallest cups or glasses we own so it is only really good for knives or other awkward cutlery (or perhaps the world's tiniest tea cups?). The pieces that stick up to hold plates can fold down flat which makes it easy to fit medium sized pots and bowls in. However, annoyingly a small piece of the dish rack sticks down in the way of the spray arm which means it makes a clunking noise as it spins and sometimes will get stuck. I've tried many ways to remedy this to no success so far, the next step is to try to cut it off without making the rack go rusty. The machine also doesn't sense if the spray arm has got stuck and so it could do an entire wash cycle without actually washing anything properly. The machine is reasonably noisy during the wash due to the pump (you can still hear it running through a closed door) but the noise doesn't bother me particularly. There is a port on the back to plumb it in like a regular dishwasher, but if you are going to go down the route of plumbing it in I'd say there would be much better quality standard dishwashers for the same money. In terms of how much you can fit in it, we regularly wash 4 or 5 plates and 5 or so glasses with cutlery in a standard wash with no issues. It can fit a standard 5L sistema container in it and medium sized mixing bowls and pots. Anything larger than this you'd still need to handwash such as muffin trays or larger pots and frying pans.

The manual leaves a lot to be desired, it has clearly been pasted into google translate and then no one has bothered to proofread it. Nothing is so complicated that it can't just be figured out but for an relatively expensive appliance I'd expect more. The only thing that required some head-scratching is that to turn it on/off you need to hold the power button for around 3 seconds, rather than just a quick press. If nothing else, the manual is good for a laugh with some of the descriptions.

If your only option is a dishwasher that doesn't need plumbing in this is a pretty good option. I'd definitely buy this again but would stop short of saying it is good value for money or high quality. As it is easy to move with you and for to fit in apartments it would be great if you're renting and it uses hardly any water compared to filling a sink to do dishes.

TL;DR Pros: Does a good job of washing dishes, looks good and perfect for renting as don't need to plumb it in. Cons: Have had an issue with the spray arm getting stuck on the dish rack, expensive for what it is, quite noisy, user manual is rubbish. Verdict: Would buy again if I specifically needed a dishwasher that doesn't require plumbing in but otherwise would look for something better.
