Third-party reviews

What we like about Midea MD11EH80D

  • 8 kg capacity takes a full load in a compact body.
  • Width of 59.5 cm and depth of 60 cm suit a narrow utility space.
  • 15 drying programs include hygiene and refresh cycles.
  • The fast cycle takes 35 min for a quick dry.
  • Post-drying drum movement keeps the drum turning after the cycle.
  • Heat pump drying with an A++ energy class.

What we don't like about Midea MD11EH80D

  • At 44 kg it is hard to carry up stairs.
  • A large duvet may not fit an 8 kg load in one go.
  • The heavy body makes it a chore to pull out for cleaning behind it.
  • The fast cycle is only 35 min, so it suits small loads better than full ones.

Verdict

The Midea MD11EH80D suits a utility cupboard that is short on space, yet it still takes an 8 kg load. It is 59.5 cm wide and 60 cm deep, so it sits neatly beside a washing machine. The heat pump runs 15 programs, from a hygiene cycle to a refresh for clothes that only need airing. The fast cycle takes 35 min, which helps when time is short and the next load is already waiting. Post-drying drum movement keeps the drum turning once the cycle has finished. The trade-off is weight: at 44 kg it is hard to carry up stairs. It suits a household with a small utility space that dries mixed loads and wants a budget heat pump without a lot of extras.
