There's a reason it's priced this way.

I don't know...but if I was to guess - I'd say a good reason might be CHEAP CHINESE CRAP!!

If anyone wants to take a chance on this...good Luck, cuz you're gonna need it.

Same for anyone who has bought a Samsung or LG branded washer/drying over the past 15 years - BIGGEST mistake you can make - Neither of those Korean brands has held up at all in the washer/dryer / Fridge areas... I have a neighbor who is a self-employed appliance repairman - he says don't EVER buy those brands - they make him a LOT of money in repairs - reliability is not consistent with LG or Samsung! That's saying something.
Well they are tech companies not appliance companies. My fisher&paykel is coming up on 20 years and I don't think their in business anymore. What's a good brand then?

I have a midea minisplit system installed, been 6 years now, not a single problem. Even the installer was impressed by the quality of it..obviously its not the same thing as a dryer and washer but as a brand, midea is a well known global brand, just not popular in the US.

Thanks for presenting your opinion on this brand based on a bias against Chinese companies and not any experience with this brand.
Hopefully others will come along to post with actual experience or research.

My biased opinion about Chinese made crap is based upon plenty of experience with Chinese made crap.

That and the fact that Chinese manufactures have not natively produced anything over the past 50 years without stealing it from someone else, then after they STOLE it, making it with less quality control and lesser quality materials is a WELL known FACT the world over.

I'd also like to add...that AAFES serves a LOT of young military families - who often don't have a lot of money or experience with major home appliances, etc...

My first washer & dryer set was a Kenmore (rebadged Whirlpool). That set lasted 20+ years and worked perfectly fine until we decided to go with those new fancy "front-loading" water-saving washer/dryer sets like everyone else. I ended up selling a perfectly good Kenmore washer/dryer on Craigslist for $300 within 3 hours! (I guess someone knew better than me).

That fancy front-loading washer/dryer set has been broken down numerous times over the past few years. My whirlpool only needed to replace a spring over 20 years. Thank goodness for YouTube video's from plenty of others with the same crappy Samsung/LG products - there are LOTs of videos' explaining how to fix them.

Original review: May 1, 2020I bought this product and in less than one year, it stopped drying. I went back to Uncle Wiener store where I bought it and they told me the warranty was only 6 months and it had expired. The product is a fraud. I will definitely not recommend it.

Original review: Jan. 27, 2020If I could give this rating zero stars, I would but unfortunately I can't! This company has the absolute WORST customer service I have ever experienced! I bought a dryer in December 2018 and in October 2019 the dryer heating element went out then the dryer completely stopped coming on due to moisture! I called the warranty people in October 2019 and they was persistent on my dryer not working because the voltage of the plug in wasn't correct even though I assured them it was because it worked the nine months prior. But we went ahead and we hired an electrician to come test out the voltage and it was correct, called Midea back to inform them it was the correct voltage.
They then proceeded to ask for pictures so I had to pay him to come back out a second time so I could get pictures as Proof, after I sent proof Over they stated they was trying to locate a service technician. Weeks go by then they insisted on needing the electrician's information to assure he was a certified electrician so I sent that information over. I even went as far as sending a video of what the dryer was doing.
Here it is it's now January almost February and still don't have a working dryer! So I even took it another step to send over local repair company's names and number and fax numbers and they are still telling me "we are trying to locate a service technician to service your dryer. You should hear back from us in 48-72 hours". I keep getting the same woman and when I ask to be transferred to someone else she says "I'm not allowed to do that". When I ask to speak to a manger she says "my manger will be in a meeting for 1-2 hours". When I say I can stay on hold and wait she says "I can't have you on hold that long".
What the heck can this company do other than give me the run around on getting my dang dryer fixed? Save your sanity and just spend a tad bit more on a better brand because within nine months the heating element went out and days after that started going south. The dryer would only come on sometimes then it completely stopped coming on????

Original review: July 31, 2019Washes clothes okay but the spin cycle I found left a lot to be desired. Had to spin them twice and they still felt too we. Just bought the 7kg today. Wish I hadn't took twice as long to dry in my dryer even after spinning them twice. Should of stuck with LG.

Original review: Dec. 11, 2018Has no filter basket or filter hose-DMFLW70. When you want to clean out the filter you unscrew as normal, it but there is no filter basket attached to it to catch the bits - apparently the huge amount of water that then gushes out over the floor is presumably to wash out any bits. The drawing in the manual shows a filter basket attached and says also that some models come with a hose to let the water drain out of the filter but this model doesn't have either. It's annoying as the door flap is in the way of collecting the water, causing it to gush out sideways, and there's too much water to collect with a bath mat - at least half a liter. So you need to make some kind of chute attachment. The wash dry cycles take forever and the fluff from the dry cycle stays in the barrel to spoil the next load. Other than that it does seem to wash well. It had a terrible new machine smell but this wore off after about four washes luckily.

Original review: Nov. 13, 2018The unit worked great for 14 months, just after the warranty period expired. The mainboard had a short. The part was over $100, but was easy to replace. Very few repair people have knowledge of this unit and nobody would come to fix it. It wasn't too hard to do it myself. 2 months later the door lock went error code E31. Midea was great with diagnosis. Part was only $15 plus $15 shipping and easy to replace. 1 week later there is a leak from a valve that drains the tub. This is very hard to access and no idea how to replace it. All 3 separate issues but a real pain and obviously this is not a good product. I will most likely have to replace the whole unit with a different manufacture.

Original review: Sept. 8, 2018Our Midea washing machine model-water magic cube was assessed on Aug 23, 2018 by Concepcion Ind outsourced technician to have defective main board and it's to be imported from abroad. I called Concepcion Ind almost every day, I've wasted much time to follow up. I'm tired of hearing their inefficiency. Today they told me that the schedule of repair will be on Monday Sept 10, 2018. If sure that the machine will be repaired on Monday, it's already 18 days delayed. The damaged part is worth P3,800 - the assessment fee is P350 - the labor for repair is P850 the total cost of repair is P5,000. Can I demand penalty for the delay? I'm very dissatisfied with Midea.

Funny you say that...Have a LG (Korean not chinese company) dryer and fridge that I bought in 2004 for my first home from bestbuy that are still running without a repair man ever touching them. The washer died after 10 years since our mover didn't align the balancing legs when we moved homes causing damage to the drum but replaced it with another LG which has worked for 6 years(why because despite a shorter lifespan the clothes come out cleaner in that compared to any other machines I've ever used at a guest's house or hotel and better than my old GE toploader ). You are right about quality going down but that's across the board. Repairman told me to avoid recent LG fridges but the best high efficiency not traditional laundry units are LG according to him. LG also makes their laundry units in the US now so not Chinese by any means? I don't think you should seemingly base ur judgement on a foreign company. I had a terrible experience with Kitchenaid microwave (made in China) and a Kitchenaid gas cooktop (made in USA probably) that I put in Bosch appliances for my 2nd home. Ge is owned by the Chinese (Haier) and Frigidaire is Swedish (Electrolux). By no means do American appliances (whirlpool) translate to better quality or innovation by any means.

While I do like you tend to avoid Chinese made goods if comparable quality I will not condemn them if they are just as good or better. Midea is a slippery slope. Their HVAC systems are top notch but their appliances are questionable at best with terrible support. Ge on the other hand despite being Chinese makes some decent appliances.

You are clueless.

Midea makes a lot of appliances and even supply to Korean and American brands. It's an OEM manufacturing company like Foxconn.

Of course, the final product will depend on the specifications. But, it's probably not too different from other brands.
