Midea Cube 20 Pint Dehumidifier for Basement, 1,500 Sq. Ft, Energy star

So far, so good. Unit is reducing humidity quickly and efficiently, while being quiet and out of the way. I like the design of the reservoir which makes it less prone to being knocked over by kids. I have an independent temperature/humidity gauge and find it to be +/- 4% within it.

I couldn’t be more pleased with this dehumidifier. We needed it for a 200sf walk in closet and it works perfectly. I needed one that could go flush against the wall and this fills that need. Most others need 8-12 inches clearance from the wall which was a deal killer. Although the Midea says it needs 8” clearance, there’s a hack! This one has intake vents on 3 sides-left, right, and rear, and the blower is on top. So if you need it flush against the wall, simply turn it 180 degrees so the backside is now the front. Voila!! All 3 intakes are clear, the blower sends air straight up, and no clearance is needed. The only downside, which doesn’t matter to me, is that the controls aren’t facing you and the wording is upside down (see photos). But the controls are so easy to use it isn’t a bother. There are very few no-clearance units and each has pros and cons. But the cons on this one are so small, it didn’t matter to me. I will reiterate what others have said about the weight-it is pretty heavy. Both the dehumidifier when you lift it out of the bucket and the bucket when it is filled with water. I have it set for half full, which I would guess is 3 gallons or so. But for me, a worthy trade off as I only have to empty it once a week. Pro tip—buried in the instructions it says to pour water out from one of the front corners otherwise it will leak while pouring. 2nd pro tip-one thing I learned while researching is that you need a larger dehumidifier than you think. My closet is 200 sf and the dehumidifier is rated for 1500 sf. The Midea is probably a little too big, but that’s ok, it’s working great.

I had really high hopes for this thing after seeing it highly recommended by Wirecutter. Their reviews have not steered me wrong in the past. However, the compressor completely died in less than a week. It was functioning quite slowly at first, taking a long time to get humidity down and not really capturing all that much water. After 3 days of intermittent use, the compressor gave up. Humidity was rising in our apartment as it was running. I realized it was blowing cool air and we could no longer hear the buzz of the compressor, so back to Amazon it goes. I was looking forward to the ability to monitor humidity control remotely without having to go look at the unit, but unfortunately the app is not very useful. The first troubles occurred with app linking, where for about an hour it was refusing to connect to my wifi network. Once it did, I realized this was much more a novelty than a helpful feature as the app is full of bugs (recognized as the wrong model and wouldn't display water level estimates, then once I manually changed it, it showed the estimates but still failed to update over time). There were several occassions during the few days which I was using this unit for where I launched the app and their servers appeared to be down. It would not connect to the device. Why even offer this if it's not going to work? It's a shame it's a shoddy piece of equipment. The design is quite clever. However I've switched to another brand's dehumidifier (and a "dumb" one at that with no app to avoid any extraneous tech issues), and within hours of plugging it in, it is FAR more efficient than this unit.

I needed a set it and forget it type of dehumidifier for the basement. We have wildly fluctutating humidity levels throughout the year so I needed one that allowed you to set a desired humidity level and it would automatically start and stop as needed to maintain the level. Design: This dehumidifier is very well designed. For those who need a bucket, this one has a large bucket with optional castor wheels and a folding handle. The dehumidifier unit sits on top of the bucket and is removed when emptying, which reduces the weight. I use the bucketless method where it drains into the sump pump hole and requires no regular check ins or maintenance. It comes with a drain tube, which is very short (about 2-3 feet long) but you can attach any garden hose to the unit. One minor annoyance is that in bucketless mode, you can't stack the device on top of the bucket, because putting it back on the bucket stops the bucketless mode automatically. I see how that can be considered a feature, but since bucketless mode requires that the entire drain hose remains lower than the hose connector, and the hose connector ir close to the bottom of the unit, one has to put the unit on top of something to make sure the hose can successfully drain. I had to put it on top of tupperware while the bucket sits idle nearby. It would be nice to be able to put it on top of the bucket without disabling bucketless mode. Basic usage: I set the humidity target to 50%. When it reaches 55-56%, it kicks in and reduces it to 49-50%. Then it enters sleep mode where the fans are turned off. Noise: The fan is fairly quiet even on the high setting. Power consumption: When it is running, it is around 250W When it first stops, consumption seems to stay at 19W for 3 minutes, then drops further to 1.3W (probably some kind of deep sleep) Smart features: I set it up via the recommended MsmartHome android app, which was very straightforward. It seems to be a Tuya compatible app. Not sure if the unit has bluetooth or something like that apart from wifi, but once I created the acct in the app, it autodetected the dehumidifier, asked me for wifi details and within 15 seconds, the dehumidifier was connected to my lan. I then set it up with HomeAssistant locally via the Midea AC LAN integration from HACS. It used the MSmartHome app login info to detect and connect to the dehumidifier (retrieves the necessary key/token from the service). After that point, I believe HA can locally access the unit without needing the MSmartHome remote service. The only nitpicky comment I have is that neither the android app or the HA integration shows whether the device is actually running or sleeping. They show it as "on". I do have it connected to a zigbee plug, which shows me power usage and that's the only way I can remotely tell whether the unit is running or sleeping. And most importantly, the device passes the power loss/restore test where it successfully retains the last settings and maintains operation. This is truly a set it and forget it type of dehumidifier with the added bonus of remote monitoring and control.

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Dehumidifier for Bedroom Allergy Relief! I can’t recommend the Midea Cube 20 Pint Dehumidifier enough! It’s been a lifesaver for my bedroom where I use it daily to fight my severe dust mite allergy. This product truly feels like it was sent from the gods. ✅ Why This Dehumidifier Stands Out: • Compact Yet Powerful: The unique cube design saves space while delivering exceptional performance for bedrooms, and small spaces. • Allergy Relief: Keeps humidity low, making it harder for dust mites, mold, and mildew to thrive. My allergy symptoms have improved dramatically since using it every day. • Smart Features: o App Notifications: I love getting alerts when it’s time to empty the tank and checking up on the room humidity level when I’m not home. o Front Display: Shows the current room humidity level —super convenient! • Large Water Capacity & Easy Drainage: The expandable tank means fewer trips to empty. I haven’t tried the continuous emptying mode but have found no issues with emptying the tank every few days. • Noise Level: It may be loud for some, but I think of it as soothing white noise. The slight hum is worth it for how effective this unit is. • Energy Efficient: Energy Star certified, so it saves on electricity while improving air quality. • After One Month of Use: I’ve been using this dehumidifier for a month now, and it works perfectly so far. One thing to note: the water tank can get heavy when full. To make it easier, I recommend adjusting your settings so the unit stops dehumidifying when the tank reaches a certain level. This way, you can empty the water while it’s still relatively easy to handle. If you need a smart, reliable, and powerful dehumidifier for basement, bedroom, and especially allergy control, this is the one to get. Perfect for dust mite prevention, mold control, and improving indoor air quality. It’s truly a life-saver!

Great size. Works like a charm here in Central Texas. We dump it every day or two. It runs quietly. We like that we can program it to stop. Only problem is it can be very heavy to carry to dump when full. I would purchase this again.

I never had much luck with dehumidifiers, perhaps because I was getting tiny ones, but in this new apartment where we can’t control the HVAC (except for temperature) something had to be done about the humidity in the summer. The bedrooms were regularly surpassing 70-percent relative humidity at 68-72 degrees Fahrenheit. Meanwhile, the living room (where the temperature controls are) had to be set to 66 degrees to achieve this effect in the bedrooms. There’s not much one can do in a rental unit when this is how the HVAC is handled. I saw this recommend by many sources I trust and I liked that it had a smaller form factor and could link to my phone app and Alexa (though I tend to rely on the app more than Alexa for this). It was incredibly easy to set up. I thought it would be a headache…but really, the unpacking is the worst part and even that’s not that bad. All you need to do is line up the top cube with the bottom, plug it in, and you’re set. My version (20-pint) even came with wheels that I ended up attaching for convenience. I did have to look up a video to make sure I had the wheels installed correctly but…that was fine. So, basically I set this thing to high and a target humidity (for me, 50-percent relative humidity in the summer) and it goes to work. Not only does it get my bedroom to that target humidity, but it actually is able to keep the adjacent bedroom at the similar humidity (this is due to the wacky nature of airflow and the HVAC in the apartment). Plus, if you’re nervous about it overflowing (as I was), you can set it to alert you and shut off when it is 25, 50, or 75 percent full instead of 100 percent. Moreover, with the smart integrations, I have an automation run that turns the fan on low at night so I’m not disturbed by the high setting’s compressor. Then in the morning it kicks back into high gear. Love this. It works, it’s fairly priced, and it’s easy to use. Hope this helps!

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

Living right by the water means Dealing with a massive amount of moisture, especially during the damp, humid winter months when the dampness just seems to seep indoors. I picked up this Midea Cube 20 Pint unit to tackle the basement humidity, and it has completely transformed the environment, keeping the entire space beautifully dry, fresh, and comfortable. The innovative "cube" design is incredibly smart. When it is running, it extends upwards to hold a surprisingly large amount of water, meaning far fewer trips to empty the bucket. But what really makes this a standout feature for seasonal use is how it nests into itself when empty, compressing down to a fraction of its size for neat, compact storage when it isn't needed. The inclusion of a dedicated drain hose is a massive convenience for continuous operation, allowing you to route the water straight to a drain and forget about manually emptying it entirely. Despite its powerful performance—easily maintaining a crisp, balanced humidity level across a large layout—it operates quietly and efficiently. The Energy Star certification is a huge plus, ensuring it keeps the indoor air perfectly dry without causing a massive spike in the monthly utility bills. If you live near a river, lake, or high-humidity coastal area and dread that heavy, chilly dampness that settles indoors during the winter, this powerful and compact dehumidifier is worth every penny. It delivers outstanding performance, smart storage solutions, and true peace of mind.

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.

The product works just fine and seems good. I’ve have it for less than a day now. I am only writing this comment because I am disappointed that the product in 110V which we don’t have at all. And it doesn’t mention that in the product discription. So I have to order a Step down transformer to get it to work. If I had known, I would’ve NOT ordered it.
