Easily have a conversation right next the appliance); and Nearly Silent (42 dBA or lower. You'll hardly know the appliance is on).)
    • Number Of Racks: 2
    • Tub Finish: Stainless steel (Certain coatings or materials on the inside of the dishwasher, such as stainless steel, are more durable, retain heat better, and can withstand higher temperatures than materials such as plastic. These higher quality materials may increase the appliance’s efficiency, but there may be also be extra initial cost. Some models marketed as Hybrid will use both materials in the tub, often using stainless steel on the interior door to increase durability on the part of the appliance with the most common wear and tear.)

  • Features
    • Hard Food Disposer: false (This feature has blades to chop and disintegrate hard food particles, making them small enough to easily drain away. This prevents them from being recirculated back onto dishware and allows for easy maintenance.)
    • Drying Method: Heated drying (Appliances that use heat to dry the dishes will include a heating element or minerals which transform moisture into heat. A fan or vent then circulates the hot dry air throughout the tub during the drying cycle. This may reduce drying time and the risk of water spots. Appliances that use minerals to produce heat are considered more energy efficient than those that include a heating element. Appliances that use condensation drying are considered more energy efficient than those that use heated drying. Instead, high temperature water is produced during the final rinse cycle which warms the interior and eventually condensates and drains out of the machine.)
    • Operating Sound Level: 52 decibels adjusted (Today's appliances are pretty quiet. To get a sense for how quiet you'll need, think about having a conversation in the same room. Choose from Not as Quiet (56 dBA or higher. You'll likely need to raise your voice); Quiet (50-55 dBA. Need to raise your voice slightly); Very Quiet (43-49 dBA.

Q: I think the depth of this dishwasher is incorrect. It can't be 32" deep. What are the actual dimensions? Can this be returned to the store if it does not fit. Also, it will be next to the sink cabinet, so can the hoses be connected to the sink pipes?

A: Hello GrammyJ, thank you for your question about our Midea - Built-in Dishwasher. We apologize for any confusion. The page will be updated to reflect this information as soon as possible. The approximate dimensions are depth 22.5 inches, width 17.75 inches, and height 32.5 inches. We recommend contacting Best Buy regarding their return policy. Yes, you can connect the unit to the sink pipes. Have a great day! Midea Customer Support.

Q: Can this be placed under a sink? (New build, can buy a specific sink if needed)

A: Hello, Taylor. Thanks for asking about the Midea - Built-in Dishwasher. The unit is generally not intended for installation directly under a sink basin, as it is a full-height unit (approx. 32.4" to 33.3" tall) designed to sit under a standard 34" to 36" countertop. Have a great day! Midea Customer Support

  • Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    Good dishwasher but you need universal power cord

    Works better than I expected it to: I debated giving a 4 star only never the company doesn’t include or even offer the power cord so your forced to purchase a universal one. I sorta think that insane that they don’t even sell it
