Cube 35 Pint Dehumidifier for Basement and Rooms at Home for up to 3,500 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...

•Best dehumidifier I have ever owned and I have had many different brands. I own two of these dehumidifiers. I was so impressed with the first one I bought another. •Great Performance •Well Made •Durable •User Friendly •Great Value •Nice Features •WiFi Compatible (control & monitor with smartphone) I highly recommend this dehumidifier.

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.

Consumer Reports, Good Housekeeping, and others gave the Midea Cube Dehumidifier a high rating. Based on those reports I decided to replace my old dehumidifier with the 1500 cu ft version. I liked a lot about it. The style is more compact. The air intake is on 3 sides and return goes out the top. I think that's a very good design. The bucket is large but if using the drain hose option, it provides a good base to boost the unit up. The water collection bucket has its own handle and once the top unit is lifted off using its handle, the bucket can be lifted with its own handle to be emptied. I use the drain hose option so I can't speak to how quickly the bucket fills. The wheels work well if you opt to attach them. There is an app that I use with it so I can monitor it and change settings. It is no quieter or louder than my previous 2 dehumidifiers. I've had 3 power outages and this unit restarts at the same settings when the power was restored. My old units did NOT do that. As to the disappointments now. Directions were confusing to me and I actually watched their online video that was super simple. They should likewise simplify their printed directions. The unit can be used 3 different ways. They should organize the directions to address each configuration as a separate topic. This unit is located in my basement. It replaced a dehumidifier of a different brand that worked well for 5 years and simply stopped working this year. Likely a compressor issue. The Midea is a 1,500 Sq ft unit so I thought it was more than enough to keep my basement clear of mold, mildew and dampness. This little guy chugs constantly but is never able to get the humidity to the 40% setting I chose. The lowest it has gotten to was 45% but usually tops out at 49% humidity. It's acceptable but I am disappointed that even though it is supposed to be rated for use in basements and can handle 1,500 Sq ft, it doesn't do as good a job as my old unit. My basement is 1,400 Sq ft but about 1/3 is closed off. Even so this unit can't bring the humidity to the percentage I set. I really wanted to love this unit but I can't. I don't understand how it dazzled the testers at Consumer Reports and others. I'm going to purchase another dehumidifier for my basement and return the Midea. I can't reconcile purchasing the next size up at 3,500 Sq ft for more than twice the price when there are much more affordable options. I believe I'll end up purchasing the brand that I had previously. Sometimes it's the devil you know, right. All this said, I can't give this a hearty recommendation for basement use. However, it may be more suited for use in a single room but that would likely require regular trips to empty the bucket. I took off one star because it's misleading to say this is good for basement use. I took off one star because it's also doubtful this unit could effectively dehumidify an open upper level living area of 1,500 sq ft.

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!
