Midea Cube 50 Pint Dehumidifier for Basement and Rooms at Home for up to 4,500 Sq. Ft., Smart Control, Compatible with Alexa (White), Drain Hose Included

I've used the Midea Cube 35 pint dehumidifier for 3 summer seasons. Pros: - Removes moisture from a large basement room well - Relatively (compared with other dehumidifiers I've owned) quiet - This was an important purchase consideration - Humidistat is accurate - Remembers all settings when power is removed - 4 settings to control the maximum volume of water in bucket - Fairly compact - Unique design collapses to about 1/2 height for storage. - Not an advantage for me, but may be for others - Easy user interface Cons: - Lifting the dehumidifier off of the bucket may be difficult for some due to the weight - At the bucket's max water volume setting, lifting the bucket to empty it may be difficult for some due to the weight - Midea thought ahead and added the limit feature, of course this means it needs to be emptied more often - Removing the air filters for cleaning is more difficult than it should be I use this dehumidifier on a Hubitat smart home outlet switch to control when it operates. I'm pleased all of the dehumidifier settings are retained when power is removed; this is also an advantage if your power goes out occasionally. Longevity of dehumidifiers has not been very good lately, so we'll see how long this one lasts...

I was looking for a dehumidifier to solve a humidity problem in my home and this came to the rescue! It works like a charm and brings down humidity levels in a matter of no time. I find its compact size to be perfect. It’s small enough so that it doesn’t take up too much space but, at the same time, stores enough water so that you don’t have to constantly empty it out. I also appreciate that there is a timer mode, so you can set the number of hours (in 30min increments) you’d like the dehumidifier to run for.

Update: the unit I bought in October iced over and died in December. BUT, when I contacted Midea customer service, they replied the same day, asking for several additional pieces of information. Within 3 days they informed me they will reimburse me for the unit. I'm hoping the problem was a fluke, and ordered another one, as I really do like they way they operate. Midea customer service was 5-star in dealing with my complaint - a rare wonder these days. This is my second Midea Cube 20 dehumidifier. First one lasted 3 years, then refused to condense water. Motor and fan ran, but no result. Internet said probably the coolant, and that it was toast. Other reports said generally most people expected a dehumidifier like this to last 2 years. Mine runs constantly, and I empty once a day. This is fairly quiet, which is good, because it needs to be in my bedroom. Consumer Reports praised this model as being one of the quieter units. Chose the 20 because internet articles said getting a bigger dehumidifier may cause to cycle more often, which is harder on the system than continuous operation. Also, I have to carry the bucket to the bathroom to empty. Water is heavy. I can set the water level turn-off to something lower than max capacity so it's easier to carry. I have mine set on 3 (out of 4). Having a larger capacity container would not be useful for me. I can set it to run continuously, have a set point humidity shut off, or set it on a timer. I have it set to 50% humidity, and in FL, that means it usually runs continuously. Only problem is a design issue. Controls are on the top of the unit and easy to push. One of my cats will sometimes sit on top of the dehumidifier and reset it for me, and I have to go back and reset, which fortunately is not hard. Oh, cats! I find the compact size, ability to dehumidify, and easy controls of this product very good, and did buy another when the first one gave up.

This is a decent dehumidifier. It seems to work effectively, it looks pretty good and the bucket capacity is more than my last dehumidifier. It would be great if it simply executed on a few basic functions. Which it does not. -When it is on the bucket, it can drain into the bucket or in "continuous mode" via a drain hose. While hooked up the bucket I can set a target humidity percentage--say 55%--but when the bucket fills up, due to some flaw it continues to run and the bucket overflows. Disappointing. There must be an inadequate or malfunctioning fill sensor. Anyway, water runs out onto the floor. -No problem. I'll hook up the hose. But the hose can only be used when set on the bucket when operating in "continuous mode". This works fine, but I don't want it to run *continuously*. I want it to dehumidify when the humidity is high and stop when the humidity is low. This is not possible with the drain hose while attached to the bucket. -No problem. I'll simply operate in Bucketless Mode. In this mode you can use the hose AND set a humidity target. But it turns out that the drain hose only gets about 95% of the collected water. Around 5% of the water still drains down, as if it were going into the bucket. Which sucks, because in bucketless mode, down is the floor again. And if you put it back onto the bucket, it stops using the drain hose. And then it overflows. Onto the floor. This product is either a little over-engineered or a little under-engineered depending upon your perspective. I'd definitively rather pay another 25% in price to get one that worked either a) in bucket mode without leaking b) in drain hose mode without operating continuously or c) in bucketless mode without leaking. Any of those options would work for me and none are available. I chatted with tech support a bit and they weren't really able to offer much help. I have it running in bucketless mode over a Home Depot bucket to catch the drips, which will work fine I expect until I bump it and the whole thing falls over and breaks.

Bought it in the UK from co.uk amazon the same as other person here in the reviews came in with us socket and different voltage .... returning back

People of the UK do not buy this, it is not compatible with our UK voltage system!!

Replacing my Bionaire PureQuiet unit which was sadly discontinued. The Midea does a good job but a little cumbersome removing the top section to empty the large bucket but the large bucket also means less times having to empty it. The noise level was important to me and is actually very acceptable. All in all it's a great unit and well worth the price. An update. I'm well into my first summer with this unit and it's actually much better than I had expected. I've had many dehumidifiers over the years but none would compare to this one. I'd give it an A+ if I could! Another update. The only issue I have are the filters, which are pretty fragile. I broke one portion of the frame trying to install it. Best to be very gentle when handling them. I managed to glue it together and we'll see how long it lasts. A replacement is around C$9 and C$14 shipping. An update. Thse second filter is now broken on the plastic edging, even after being very careful and gentle with it. This is after 18 months of use. So it's probably better to fabricate some kind of filter and mount it on the outside of the casing. I'm not impressed at all. As a de-humidifier it's great. The design not so much.

This has been a game changer. The dehumidifier was thankfully easy to set up and it has made a fantastic difference in my basement removing excess moisture and improving the air quality, and temperature. I couldn’t be happier about this purchase. Also, it isn’t quiet but the low hum isn’t a problem for my family…especially based on the huge benefits.

¡Vale cada bendito centavo! Tenía mis dudas antes de comprar el Midea Cube, y es que ya había probado otro deshumidificador de otra marca que me salió en más de 2 mil pesos. ¡Gran error! Lo tuve encendido toda la noche y solo sacó lo equivalente a un vaso de 250 ml de agua. Según yo, lo compré para ahorrar en la luz, pero resultó ser un aparato inútil que necesitaba estar encendido las 24 horas. Cuando vi el precio del Midea Cube, pensé que estaba caro, pero después de ver varias reseñas de los mejores deshumidificadores, este siempre aparecía en los primeros lugares. Lo pedí pensando que si no cumplía, lo iba a devolver, pero ¡vaya sorpresa me llevé! La primera noche que lo puse en mi cuarto, sacó 6 litros de agua en solo 8 horas. ¡Impresionante! Lo compré a meses sin intereses, y la verdad, no puedo estar más contento. La app para controlar todo es súper cómoda, se nota la calidad en los materiales, y el diseño está increíblemente bien pensado. Tiene rueditas, así que si no quieres cargar la cubeta, lo mueves sin problema. Además, puedes usarlo sin la cubeta, conectándole una manguera común para que desagüe directamente. En resumen: es una maravilla. No solo funciona de maravilla, sino que vale cada maldito centavo. Si estás dudando, como yo dudé al principio, no lo pienses más. ¡Te vas a sorprender!
