Due to the voltage. This appliance works on 115v and has an American spec plug. You need to add to this purchase a power converter from 220v to 110v. That is an extra 200AED. Ultimately if an appliance is sold by Amazon US, don’t buy it. Lesson learned here.

We have been using this dehumidifier for several weeks now. Here are our initial thoughts- Pros- It works, pulling well over a gallon a day out of the air. Easy to use, and has a running display of the humidity level. It's relatively quiet, like white noise. Rolls easily on casters from one part of the house to the next. The design is clean and sleek. Thought we might need a drain hose (it has connection for this), but its an easy matter for us to empty once of twice a day, either outside or in the shower. It does have an overflow shut off in case you forget. Cons- Feels a bit delicate and "plasticy", but as long as you are reasonably careful it shouldn't be a problem. The reinforced packing tape is nearly impossible to remove. Took way more patience than I would have thought to remove and clean off the sticky residue..

Wrong voltage for Singapore market! Do not buy unless you plan to use a voltage converter!

It works great! just a little noisy, I tested a meter away when it's working, about 57dB...

We live near a body of water and discovered a mildew problem on our lower level, which is where my Watercolor Studio is. To my horror I noticed mildew under the sinks and even on my purses in my storage closet, so I was in a panic to resolve before my artwork was infected. First I tried Damp Rid, and that’s a good product, but I needed something stronger. My neighbor recommended this machine. So easy to set up, The minute we plugged it in, we noticed improvement! Seriously this machine pulls GALLONS of water a day out of our air. We live in SoCal near the Back Bay and can’t believe how many times a day we are emptying this machine. I actually use the water for my plants, and although my husband was suspicious at first, there have been no adverse effects. Except savings on our water bill! The smelly odors are gone, and even the cats like to hang out on this level more because the air is fresh and clean. Pros: removes excess moisture in the air, mitigating the growth of mildew and mold on surfaces, freshens the air, does not dry skin Cons: the water reservoir is HEAVY when full, and awkward to lift/empty. a person without much upper body strength might prefer to check the unit regularly and empty before it’s full. Also these units blow warm air! That’s good in cool weather but not so great when it’s hot out. Also, there’s an auto shut off, but the unit doesn’t alert you, the fan just turns off, so checking the unit regularly is a must. Regardless for me, it solves my problem and warms my room at night when the cool breezes blow so I am extremely pleased!

Seems like a fine dehumidifier, but the instructions fail to explain the various modes. Fortunately, when I calIed the Consumer Services number I was able to speak to a human being. I wanted to attach a hose leading to a floor drain. She said that, if I press the Comfort button, the water will fill the bucket instead of draining into the floor drain. It also gives you a preset percentage of humidity. What I needed was Continuous mode, which kicks in when you manually set the percentage of humidity (using the + and - buttons)—it doesn't matter whether the Continuous button is pressed. Also, the number that you normally see on the display is the actual humidity level, not the one you set it to. 2/27 After using Continuous mode for a few days, I noticed that the LED display always said 30%—and if that's the actual humidity level, that's drier than needed, which means that the machine is using more energy and working harder than necessary. I called again to ask, Why, if I set the level to 40% (thereby invoking Continuous mode), the display always shows 30%. I didn't get a clear answer. The rep said that, if I don't want it that dry, I should switch to Comfort mode. But if Comfort mode means that the water fills the bucket instead of going to the floor drain, that's not what I want. The manual refers to "preset" humidity levels for both Comfort and Continuous mode, but she was not able to tell me what those levels are, except to say, "They range from 35% to 45 or 55%," that is, she didn't really know the answer. Further, if the levels are preset for Continuous mode, that means you can't actually set the level you want. My opinion of their documentation and their Consumer Services reps is at a new low. 5/11/25. I am taking away stars. The Midea dehumidfier worked well enough for two years. Then the defrost function quit. My plumber said that these days dehumidifiers tend to last only two or three years. This is just another example of planned obsolescence, loading the planet with waste.
