Verdict

The Midea ST 5.31 wi is a compact, freestanding mini tabletop dishwasher measuring 42 x 44 x 47 cm with a 3 place setting capacity, a 6-liter internal water tank, and a 58 dB noise level. Its primary advantages include dual water-supply flexibility (manual fill or direct tap line), smart Wi-Fi operation via the MSmartHome app, six to seven versatile wash programs (including a 72°C hygiene cycle), an integrated water softener, and automatic door opening for improved drying. However, its notable drawbacks are its limited internal capacity making it unsuitable for large cookware, a relatively loud 58 dB sound emission, and an energy efficiency rating of Class F.
