367 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
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 MDC17P2DWW measures 17.5 x 16.5 x 18.44 inches, making it one of the taller compact units in this group. No weight is listed in the published specs, which is unusual and means you cannot compare portability directly to other models. It runs on 120 volts with touch controls and comes in white, making it one of the few white options from Midea in this category at this price.
The 1.59-gallon (approximately 6-liter) internal tank is on the smaller side for a unit priced at $288. The 62 dB noise rating is the main performance concern, matching the louder end of the compact-unit spectrum. At 62 dB, running a cycle during a phone call or while watching TV at normal volume is noticeable. No finish type is specified beyond the white color.
With 367 reviews at 4.2 stars, the MDC17P2DWW has enough buyer data to show a consistent pattern, though the sample is not as large as the COMFEE CDC17P0ABB (3,100 reviews) or the NOVETE TDQR01 (2,400 reviews) in the same size bracket. Buyers who need a white compact unit from a recognized brand will find this is one of the few options that fits that description.
Pros
- White finish matches white kitchen appliance sets
- Touch controls are responsive and easy to use
- 4.2 rating from 367 reviews shows consistent buyer satisfaction

- 1.59-gallon tank capacity limits load size
- No weight listed, making portability hard to assess
- No finish specification beyond color
Performance notes
The 62 dB noise level is the key trade-off here. The 1.59-gallon (approximately 6-liter) water tank is standard for compact portable units. Dimensions are 17.5 x 16.5 x 18.44 inches, slightly taller than comparable models. No weight specification is available. Voltage is 120V with touch controls. No wattage is listed.
What buyers say
367 reviews at 4.2 stars reflects a generally positive but modest-sized buyer group. Feedback tends to center on ease of setup and the compact footprint as positives. Noise during operation comes up in critical reviews more frequently than other concerns. The score is competitive for a compact Midea unit, though it does not break away from the pack.

Frequently asked questions
How loud is 62 dB during a wash cycle?
62 dB is roughly the volume of a normal conversation or background restaurant noise. You will hear it clearly in the same room. It is not disruptively loud, but it is noticeable. If you plan to run the dishwasher while working at a nearby desk or during calls, this noise level may be a distraction. For quieter operation, consider models rated at 50 dB or below.
Is the Midea MDC17P2DWW portable?
The MDC17P2DWW runs on 120V standard household current and uses an internal water tank rather than a hardwired plumbing connection, so it is technically portable. No weight is listed in the specs, but units of this physical size and design typically weigh between 25 and 35 lb based on comparable models. It can be moved between counters or rooms, though you would drain it first.
How does this compare to the COMFEE CDC17P0ABB?
Both are compact tank-fill countertop dishwashers priced around $270 to $288, with 62 dB noise and touch controls. The COMFEE CDC17P0ABB has 3,100 reviews versus 367 for the Midea, giving it a much more established reliability record. The Midea comes in white while the COMFEE is black, so color preference is the most practical differentiator if performance and price are equal to you.
