Conclusions

Summing up:

• In terms of loading volume, compact dishwashers are similar to the lower basket of a full-size PMM.
• If there are more than two people in the family and you often cook, it is better to pay 5-7 thousand extra and take a floor-standing machine with a large load. In any case, this is what the owners of compact machines think, who have to wash dishes 2 times a day.
• Despite the large number of compact models from the Midea brand, it is not difficult to choose a machine among them – they differ little from each other. Basically, you have to choose between a white and silver body, the presence and absence of a display, water consumption and energy consumption class.
• You can view the entire catalog of Midea products on the official website of the company. Here you can call consultants, as well as find out the addresses of the nearest service centers.
• The manufacturer also produces mini-dishwashers. For example, MCFD42900 G MINI or MCFD42900 BL MINI. These small devices hold only 2 sets, and are more expensive than compact ones – 23 rubles.

If you need a dishwasher to serve 1-2 people, any of Midea’s compact PMMs will be a great purchase. This Chinese technique, judging by the reviews, is a good embodiment of the “price – quality” formula.
