The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other vacuum sealers, built-in and countertop dishwashers, food slicers, meat and grain grinders, spice mills and kitchen prep appliances we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The MDC22P2ASS is one of the larger countertop dishwasher options, measuring 20 x 22 x 17.25 inches, the widest and deepest footprint in this roundup. At 25.28 lb it is surprisingly light for its size, which is an unusual combination that may reflect a lighter interior tank or rack construction. The silver color distinguishes it from the sea of white and black units in this category. It runs on 120 volts with push-button controls.
The 2.77-gallon (approximately 10.5-liter) internal tank is notably larger than the 5-liter mini units and more comparable to the water reserves of traditional countertop faucet-connected models. This means fewer manual refill cycles when washing a full load. The 52 dB noise rating is a good figure for a unit of this size, matching competitors like the COMFEE CDC22P1BBB and the Danby DDW621WDB.
Midea is a large-scale appliance manufacturer with broad distribution, which gives some confidence in parts availability and support. However, the MDC22P2ASS has only 117 reviews at a 4.2 average. That is a thin sample for drawing conclusions about long-term reliability. Given the $299.96 price, buyers should weigh whether the brand name alone justifies choosing this over more battle-tested alternatives.
Pros
- Large 2.77-gallon water tank reduces refill frequency
- Quiet 52 dB operation for a full-size countertop unit
- Silver finish is rare in this category and suits stainless-heavy kitchens
- Relatively light at 25.28 lb for its cabinet size
- Midea is a major established appliance brand
Cons
- Only 117 reviews makes long-term reliability unclear
- Largest footprint in the roundup at 20 x 22 inches requires significant counter space
- No finish specification listed beyond color
- No wattage information available
Performance notes
At 52 dB, the MDC22P2ASS sits in the quieter half of this category. The 2.77-gallon (approximately 10.5-liter) tank capacity is the largest among tank-fill models reviewed here. Cabinet dimensions are 20 x 22 x 17.25 inches. Weight is 25.28 lb, which is light relative to its exterior size. Push-button controls and 120V operation are standard. No wattage is specified.
What buyers say
With only 117 reviews and a 4.2 average, the MDC22P2ASS has a positive but statistically thin buyer record. The 4.2 score is a decent starting point from Midea buyers, who may have higher brand expectations than buyers of lesser-known brands. It is too early to draw confident conclusions about wash quality consistency or durability from the available data.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Midea MDC22P2ASS require a plumbing connection?
No, the MDC22P2ASS uses an internal 2.77-gallon water tank that you fill manually before each cycle. This makes it a fully portable unit that can sit on any countertop near a standard 120V outlet. The large tank size means you can often complete a full load without stopping to refill mid-cycle.
How does this compare to other full-size countertop dishwashers in this price range?
At $299.96, the MDC22P2ASS is priced similarly to the COMFEE CDC22P1BBB ($278.98) and the BLACK+DECKER BCD6W ($299.99). The COMFEE has a much larger review base (3,500 vs 117) at the same 4.2 rating. The Midea's advantage is its larger water tank and the Midea brand reputation. The COMFEE is the lower-risk choice on current data.
Is the silver color a true stainless steel exterior?
The MDC22P2ASS is listed as silver in color, but the finish specification is not confirmed in the available product data. Midea countertop dishwashers typically use a plastic exterior in a silver or stainless-look finish rather than actual stainless steel cladding at this price point. Verify the finish material directly in the product listing or with the seller before purchasing if this detail matters to you.
