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 bought two of these to try to knock down the ~67% winter humidity in my Florida house, which sits next to the water. This can occur for a month or so where the temps drop but outdoor humidity remains in the 80%+ range. I can't run the A/C because it's already mid 60's indoors, so I thought let's try dehumidifiers. I set one up on each side of the house and set the HVAC to just run recirculate for ten minutes of each hour. Within six hours both units had pulled over a gallon of water each out of the air and dropped the house humidity almost 10%. By morning the house was down to 50% humidity, towels in the bathrooms were already dry where normally a shower would leave them damp until the next afternoon, it felt so much better. I've found a spot for one where it can continuous drain into a utility sink, but the other has such a massive bucket that it won't require emptying probably more than once a week now that the initial knock-down has been completed. Keep in mind that bucket size. If you do let it fill completely, you're talking about 40+ pounds of water. Fortunately the console and the phone app both allow you to configure it to do a high water shut off far earlier than the physical bucket becoming full, if you want to stop it at 25%, 50%, 75% for weight reasons. It defaults to the lowest setting, so if you plug the thing in without further configuration, it's going to auto shut off at maybe ten pounds of water, far earlier than it would have to if you do want it to fill the bucket. They are loud, have no doubt about that. These are large dehumidifiers designed to tackle thousands of square feet, so they have a large compressor and evaporator grid, and a large fan to pull a lot of air through. Even in low mode they put out a good bit of noise. It's not an annoying noise though; I slept fine with one of them fifteen feet from me in the same room, but those sensitive to any amount of elevated volume may not like it even if it does sound like white noise. The base comes with casters in case you want to wheel them around a hard floor; may make it easy to wheel one over to a step-in shower for emptying if you don't want to lug 40 pounds of water by the handle.

It works well. The water removal is pretty great, and it is a little loud. 1 Star review is because when you remove the bucket it drips onto the floor, and when you place it back on the bucket you have to constantly keep removing it and putting it back until it realizes it's back on the bucket. Update: The plastic threads for the constant drain port seem to be extremely easy to strip away, even from one install of a hose. The threads being shredded caused a leak. The leak leaked into the bucket, the bucket filled up to the point of spilling, and the basement had tons of water on the floor. The unit being in continuous drain mode turns off the bucket fill level monitor, and there was no way for the dehumidifier to know the bucket was not just full, but overflowing. Meanwhile the dehumidifier was constantly reporting 30% relative humidity, so this happened for weeks before anyone noticed. Also both of the dust filters seem to be stuck in the sides, and I cannot remove them to clean them.

This product is easy to install, looks great, & runs efficiently, & very quietly. My humidity dropped quickly from 80% to 55% within a few hours. It is compact in size but it does weigh 42 pounds, so if you can't lift that amount, you'll need help, but it is worth it. It is easiest to use with a drain hose, but you can use the tank to collect the water. The only concern is that the heavy part sits on the water storage tank, so you'd have to lift it off to empty the tank. But I did see that there is a small hose included that could maybe be used to drain into a bucket if you don't have a floor drain. This model does not have a pump, but the company does make a model with a pump to expel water up if you need that. I am very happy with this dehumidifier. I breathe better in my house thanks to Midea.

Works great for my 1 bedroom apt with open living room and kitchen. Durability unknown. Just used it for two days so far. My ground floor apt was at 76% humidity or something before. I got a small unit from a different brand and it did nothing. Maybe a pint of water in two days. I got this. Which while pricey for me, pulls 1.5-2 gallons of water out of the air each day. I do have it at the lowest setting 35% so I am a little worried about durability and electric, but if I turn it up, I start to feel it and my skin gets irritated. So far so good. The wheels are helpful. It is relatively heavy. Maybe 40 pounds? I can move it, but I wouldn’t say I can lift it easily. But it’s doable and I’m okay with it. It is loud but it’s a constant white noise type of thing so if you don’t mind your fridge, this probably is fine too.

The dehumidifier came with a non-working humidity sensor (hygrometer). It was stuck at 30% humidity and thus wouldn’t work automatically. I didn’t want to go to the trouble of repacking the dehumidifier, so I searched the internet (as anyone would) and found the hygrometer chip to replace the bad hygrometer chip (see photo). It took 6 weeks for the replacement chip to arrive. It was $10 for the chip & $10 for shipping. It was tricky extracting the old chip. But once I got it out without wrecking the wiring connector, installing the new chip was not too bad. If I had it to do over, I’d probably try to buy a Frigidaire like I’ve had twice before. As they say,’they don’t make ‘em like they used to.

I love this unit. I've purchased a few dehumidifiers going up in size, the two previous were slightly smaller but man this thing will pull over 2 gallons of water daily. Where I had it installed initially on a counter, there was not enough air space even with a good 4 Inches on two sides and open on the other two. It made the unit much louder and less efficient. The bucket system they have is fantastic. It holds a few gallons of water, very easily separates to empty, has an attached sturdy carrying handle, and it is designed so the unit can be stored inside of it when not in use or for moving it around. The filters are wickedly difficult to remove. I had to fine a thin flat had screwdriver to gently pry as my fingers alone would not do it. This should be redesigned, but is a minor nuisance for how well it works. We've stopped all signs of mold and mildew growth in our 1100 square foot apartment that backs a forest. We've battled mold issues on window seals and the bathroom for years in the PNW. I wish I would have got this years ago and saved myself some major labor, time researching products, and expense. It can't really take us down to 35% but we tend to stay between 40%-45%. Overall I'd highly recommend it if you're looking for a quality unit that pulls a few gallons of water a day while being quiet and having no real noticeable impact on my power bill. I also have a Midea Dual Hose Inverter Portable AC which is what gave me faith in the brand. That unit has worked nearly 24/7 for almost 3 years and is still smooth and quiet.

At the time of this review, I have owned the 50 pint model for barely 14 months. This is great if you want to maximize dehumidifying with minimal interruptions. My home is 4,300+ sq ft with 30 ft vaulted ceilings and this dehumidifier has enough capacity so that you can have it running continuously without having to wake up in the middle of the night or middle of the afternoon to empty it out. This device has two weaknesses. The first issue is If you are an elderly person and don't have an ideal drainage location, you will likely not be able to take advantage of the 4+ gallon capacity due to the dead weight and the awkwardness of lifting the lower bucket and dumping the water. The lower bucket wasn't really designed well for pouring into a sink or toilet. If you're not careful, you may find some spillage on the floor if you hesitate or retract from pouring for a brief moment. Once you start pouring, continue pouring in the direction of pour... otherwise, the slightest moving the bucket in the opposite direction will result in water pouring down the sides of the bucket onto your floor. The second and most annoying weakness is the cheap construction of the dust filters. They are simply not designed more than a year or so. The filters are a long thing plastic mesh "sheets" with minimal structure that wraps around the curvature of the sides of the dehumidifier. These filters require regular periodic cleaning. The weak point of these filters is in the middle spine / frame where they bend around the corner of a side of the dehumidifier. After about 12 to 14 months, both filters are cracked in the middle where the filter wraps around a corner. These will become unusable in the not-so-distant future. To make matters worse, I cannot find replacement filters for this device. In the event that I do, they will likely be expensive if you will need to continuously need to replace every year and a half. This is the hidden cost to these dehumidifiers.

After reading a stellar review on WireCutter, I purchased the Midea 20 point cube 3 days ago and it may be the worst significant purchase I have ever made. It's very clear the humidity sensor is about 35+ points off accurate. So, when turned on with the humidity at 70% in the room, it thinks it is about 35% and runs a few minutes and then shuts off even if you set the level to 35% as it thinks it is DONE. Meanwhile the humidity in the house is still 65-70%. I checked the humidity against three different hydrometers to make sure they all agree with how off the humidity sensor was on the dehumidifier as it was shocking. They all agreed that the dehumidifier was WAY OFF and all were aligned within a single digits. The only way to get it to work is to put it on Continual or Maximum as on automatic it runs for 5 minutes and thinks it is done. So basically it's useless unless you run it continually which renders the App useless. I noticed others on Amazon reviews (which i wish I had scanned more carefully before purchasing) had similar issues with the humidity sensor being broken from the get go. Others issues not brought up in the Wirecutter review were that when you take the humidifier off of the bucket it drips water. Lots of water. So when you want to empty the bucket you basically need to set up thick towels to put the unit on and they will get soaked. Who wants to do that? A huge miss in the review. They did focus on the weight which is another issue, but the water drip mess is even worse. Astoundingly, the unit also warms the room up. Yes, the dehumidifier that while running on the only way to work Continual or Max mode (due to the humidity sensor for Auto broken upon arrival) puts off enough heat to Raise the room temperature by many degrees and it basically acts like a heater instead of a cooler. . I couldn't believe it was signifigantly warming a cool basement, but saw other reviewers noticed the same thing! Others have said it's impossible to empty the bucket without water spilling everywhere due to the cumbersome cube design. I absolutely need to return this thing immediately. Their Midea online support was of no help whatsoever and absolutely insulting to the consumer. Nothing we can do, Go see Amazon was basically their answer.

This Midea Cube dehumidifier is like the quiet, responsible roommate we all wish we had—keeps the air dry, doesn’t complain, and takes up minimal space. Pros: •High capacity with a compact footprint – The cube design is smart and stackable, ideal for tight corners (as seen in my photo). • Super quiet – You’ll forget it’s on. It hums like a library. • Flexible water tank setup – You can run it with or without the bucket if you have a hose drain. • Great for automation nerds – Has app support if you’re into remote monitoring. Cons: • App is meh – Functional, but don’t expect a slick interface.

Large capacity, easily emptied and does it pull water out of the air!! We had a different MIDEO dehumidifier that failed just under a year after we bought it. It worked fabulously but sadly it stopped working. Through the AMAZON link to the supplier we reached out and received a full refund ... so it only made sense to buy another from MIDEA. Our daughter had previously bought this model and continues to really like it so we chose it. It is a little noisier than the previous model but it works great!!

Llegó muy bien y rápido. Ha funcionado excelente, ha mejorado los problemas de humedad en casa. Si trae ruedas, están en el empaque; no las vayan a tirar con la caja.

Achat fait en juillet 2024 surpris, elle est efficace et quand meme silencieuse par rapport a mon danby qui a duré 20 ans. J'espères quelle durera aussi longtemps mais aujpourd'hui le 1 juin 2025 le deshumidificateur ne fait pas sont travail elle ne deshumidifie, il me reste un mois de guarantie j'ai contacté le soutien a la clientele de Midea ils sont supposé de m'envoyé un cheque pour rembourser mon appareils je vous aviserais si ils vont bien me remboursé histoire a suivre

This dehumidifier removes a ton of water from my lower level and is easy to set up and operate. I do find it heavy and I cannot lift a full bucket of water to empty it. Luckily its on casters which allows me to wheel it into the bathroom and dump It in the shower without lifting. Smaller size would be recommended for persons who aren’t physically strong. I did not remove a star for this as smaller options were available and it operates very well so far.
