Third-party reviews

What we like about Midea MFV5EW100WBA30

  • Energy use is 35 kWh per 100 cycles.
  • The 10 kg drum takes a big family load in one go.
  • The motor is covered for 10 years.
  • The fastest cycle takes 15 min.
  • The night or silent option suits late washes.
  • A delay start lets you time the wash.

What we don't like about Midea MFV5EW100WBA30

  • Each cycle uses 52 L of water, which adds up on a busy week.
  • The ECO cycle runs for 239 min, so eco washing takes most of an afternoon.
  • Spin noise reaches 72 dB, which is noticeable late at night.
  • At 65 kg it is heavy to move when you clean behind it.
  • Spin-drying efficiency is class B, so clothes may leave the drum a little damper.

Verdict

Power draw is the reason to choose the Midea MFV5EW100WBA30, at 35 kWh per 100 cycles. The drum is big enough for a family load, and the 17 programs include baby care and hygiene cycles. The night or silent option is useful for late washes, though the spin hits 72 dB. A delay start lets you time the wash for when the house is empty. For a quick top-up, the fastest cycle takes just 15 min, and two programs finish inside an hour. The motor is covered for 10 years. The trade-off is water and time. A cycle uses 52 L, and the ECO cycle runs for 239 min. It suits a household that runs a load most days and is happy to wait for an eco wash.
