What Customers Are Saying

Customers praise the washer's thorough cleaning power and large capacity, with many highlighting its ability to handle bulky items like king-size comforters and the deep tub's convenience. However, a substantial portion report serious mechanical failures within months, including mid-cycle stops, spinning issues, and error codes, with some needing replacements within 6 to 14 months. Many also complain of excessive noise during spin cycles despite quiet marketing claims. Shorter users find the deep tub difficult to access without a step stool. While most appreciate the cleaning performance, recurring mechanical problems and accessibility concerns temper overall satisfaction.

Horrible grinding noise after 13 months of use

Would Not Recommend

We bought this washer in May 2021 and it has quit working. It started making a horrible grinding noise, we call to have it repaired and was told it was unrepairable. They wouldn't even send anyone out to look at it. Thank God we bought the extra protection plan thru lowes or we would be shelling out money again for a new washer. No washer should break down after 13 months. There is only 3 people in our family...it was used maybe 2-3 times a week. Definitely will not purchase another one.

Broke in 9 months, warranty not helpful

Would Not Recommend

Unfortunately, only 9 months after purchasing this unit, it broke down. We purchased the Lowe's warranty, but were unable to utilize Lowe's as they stated we would have to use the manufacturer's warranty as the product came with a one year warranty. It has been 2 months and our machine is still not fixed. Midea outsourced their servicing of the machine to a local company. There is so much confusion/lack in communication between these two companies that little has been done to fix the actual prob...

Agitator issues

Would Not Recommend

Agitator popped off and stop working (only on spin cycle not wash) Called Manufacturer for Warranty and they said its a very common problem. They sent repair man which all he did was put a longer bolt into it to hold it down. Still doesn’t work only had it 4 months. If its a common issue why not recall it???? Waste of money

Doesn’t wash all the clothes

Would Not Recommend

This washer is useless! I run a load and when I come back every piece of clothing on top is bone dry and obviously not clean. The water never fills up far enough to submerge the clothes. The whole point of a washer is to wash clothes and this doesn’t do it!

Would Not Recommend

We purchased this set because we needed a new one and this was the only set available that wasn't backprdered. It is awful! It doesn't get clothes clean and has a glitch that it will continue to spin and reset to rinse over and over.

Great Washing Machine

Would Recommend

I've had this washer for a little over a year now and it is amazing!! In a household of 6, we wash a lot of clothes and this machine is a work horse! The capacity is also amazing! A king size comforter that we used to have to take to a laundry mat to wash fits with room to spare!!

Weird wash cycle

Would Not Recommend

It takes almost 45 minutes for a fast wash. The tube spins and is all over the place. It looks like it’s going to pop at anytime. It is super loud with all kinds of wired sounds. The wash is just ok, not happy with this purchase. Will most likely buy another washer/dryer combo.

Horrible washing machine

Would Not Recommend

Service agreement we paid for has not been held up. We have been waiting for 2 months for someone to come fix our machine. It continues to give us an Error 4 code and WILL NOT spin out. We are unable to even use the washing machine and it is only 1 years old. I would definitely not recommend this washer to anyone.

I wouldn't buy this style again.

Would Not Recommend

After having to take it apart. All six bolts holding the center drum down had came loose! One bolt came completely out, and I found it in a jeans load weeks earlier. So I thought at the time my husband had picked a bolt up at work. Not knowing till today that it was from my washing machine. Good thing I didn't just chuck it in the trash. Every bolt has had the threads smashed so I have to get new bolts. They won't tighten down. Hoping I don't have to retap the threads. But that's my game plan. I...

DO NOT BUY

Would Not Recommend

This has been one of the worst headaches of my life. I was so happy to get my brand new set. Upon turning it on, i get an “E5” notice. According to the handbook, that means its not level. My washer is level, I have checked, there is no way to bypass this and still wash my clothes. I am returning this, please save yourself the hassle and do not buy.

Midea Customer Service is the Worts

Would Not Recommend

Purchased 3/29/21. Started to spin out of balance 2/9/2021 and would not finish a load. Contacted Midea Customer service about warranty work. They had me send a video of it malfunctioning. I emailed the video and Lowe's invoice as proof of purchase. They will not process without actual store receipt although the invoice clearly shows Midea washer purchase and amount. Do not buy this garbage. Stick with a reputable mfg. I should have not listened to the Lowes sales associate who claimed t...
