Midea 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 bought mine based upon Consumer Reports’ praise for these and reviews here and I haven’t been disappointed. You really couldn’t ask for a better dehumidifier. I recommend this thing to people all the time. It’s quite compact but holds way more water than most dehumidifiers twice it’s size. It’s pretty quiet for what it is. It’s very effective. Got a dank mildewy basement apartment well under control in just a few days and kept it that way. Brought a 1200 square foot apartment from 65+% humidity down to 35% in just under 4 days of running around the the clock and the mildew smell was 90% gone. Only had to empty the bucket once a day and the app tells you how full the bucket is at anytime and even estimates when it will be 100% full. It switches itself off when it’s full obviously. It even has a spigot like thing on the bottom so you can connect a hose for continuous draining if needed. It’s also quite reasonable on electricity use *for a dehumidifier*. Bear in mind, dehumidifiers do use a lot of electricity if you run them all the time. Think small window air conditioner, not box fan (in terms of electricity use) and you have the idea. Really the only suggestion I could make as an improvement would be to add caster wheels to the bottom and perhaps a retractable power cord like some vacuums have. Oh, and it even has an app to control it which works via Wi-Fi. So you could literally turn it on or off when you’re at a friends house or work if you want to. You can also set it to maintain a certain humidity automatically. NOTE: It does NOT have wheels, but it does have sturdy handles. If you can lift 25 lbs off the floor with one hand, you’ll have no trouble carting it around or emptying the bucket. I would say that an elderly person or a child under 13 or so might struggle a bit to lift the the unit and move it around or lift the bucket when it’s full though. If you plan to move it around a lot, you could put it on a sturdy, low profile platform with wheels. If the weight is an issue, just empty the bucket when it’s half-full and you’ll probably make do just fine. Bear in mind, you do need to lift the entire unit UP and OFF of the bucket it sits upon in order to empty it. If lifting 20-25 lbs with one arm isn’t an issue for you — then you’ve found your dehumidifier, your search is over. It’s a well-engineered and well-built unit that’s worth every penny. Buy this or one of the similar smaller or larger cube-shaped Midea units and I’m confident you’ll be pleased with the results.

It works! I live in a high-humidity area. I purchased a house that was built in the 1950s. It has moisture and mold issues. None were visible due to everything being recently painted. I learned of the problem after I moved in. I have been fighting humidity and moisture for the entire six months that I have been here. I have a one-room dehumidifier that is a few years old. It is not Energy Star compliant and certainly had an impact on my power bill. It did a good job for one room only, but it also put out a great deal of heat. I decided to do a little research and purchase a whole-house dehumidifier. The Midea brand has great reviews on Consumer Reports and other sites, but the reviews on Amazon are not as good. The main complaints were due to Weight and maneuverability issues. I'm a little on the old side (Shhh...Don't tell anyone.) So, that was something I felt could be a big drawback for me. Long story short, I decided to purchase another brand that had a five-star rating here on Amazon. Reviews for that one mentioned ease of operation, quietness, convenience, etc. All of those comments were true. However, I needed something that removed the humidity more than I needed convenience. That one supposedly covered a much wider area. Sadly, that was not the case. It barely made a dent in the humidity, if any. I have hydrometers in every room, and every one of them measured much, much higher humidity than the display on the 5-star, convenient dehumidifier. I have that one back in the box, and it will be returned. I decided to try the Midea 35 Pint Cube to see if I could handle it. I do agree that it is a little on the heavy side and a little more difficult to lift off the heavy (to an old lady), top part of the cube to empty the bottom. However! It removes the humidity as promised! Every hydrometer in every room of my house measures within 1 or 2 points of what the Midea Cube hydrometer says. This dehumidifier is keeping this old house within comfort and mold-inhibiting levels. The other dehumidifier didn't come close. So, if having a slim, lightweight, easy-to-handle dehumidifier is what's important to you, you won't like the Midea Cube. If you want a dehumidifier that does exactly what it is supposed to do, you will love the Midea. It's heavy and awkward, but this old lady can handle it; you can too. I consider it a strength-building exercise, and I lift with my knees. I almost forgot to mention (it's that age thing) that it also powers on less often than that other piece of junk...I mean dehumidifier that I tried first. It's bound to have a lower impact on my power bill. I truly wish I could give the Midea Cube 10 stars ten stars. If you want the performance that you are paying for, buy the Midea Cube. If you live in a low-humidity area and just want to purchase a dehumidifier for some strange reason that I can't imagine, go elsewhere.

Final Update July 2025: The fan ceased to spin. Called customer service and the process was a tad confusing but ultimately they said they will cut me a check for the purchase price of the product since it is within warranty. Can't ask for much more than that. December 2024: Very happy with this thing. Helped a ton with black mold in my unit that management wouldn't help with. I pull about 5 gallons a day out of the air in my houston 700sf apartment currently. Smart features are great. The positioning of the back vent is moronic - should be on front. Not a big deal though and so far no other complaints. November 2024: Preliminary review. Will update when I have something to add. This thing is big when deployed and kinda unseemly amongst modern decor. It works very well. Hydrogometer is accurate. Can't speak to reliability yet. Smart functions are very useful and easy to set up. (Hint: get "Smart Home" app not Midea Air app) Large reservoir means you only need to dump water one or two times a week. Will not overfill. Extremely heavy. Quieter than Coway air purifier. Comes with wheels so easy to move. Has built in auto-stop so it won't pull too much moisture and cause damage. The design has some odd issues that just seem like common sense.... there is a vent on the back and not on the front so i guess the most energy efficient option is to turn it 180⁰ away from you... Which also causes issues with the cord management... I think that may be a heat vent so may be okay pointed towards a wall..? It definitely does create some heat. The dang thing will not drip but pour water on the floor when you remove it from the bucket... But hey you have a dehumidifier so that carpet will dry real quick. And if you turned it off a while in advance i guess you could avoid this annoyance. Honestly very happy with it. Wish it had a black option. Wish it wasnt so heavy so I didnt have to have it on the ground. Paid like $190 for the 3500sqft one. I'm willing to deal with all the issues I mentioned as long as it lasts a couple of years. If it dies in less than 1 or 2 years then it was overpriced.

If anyone is looking for a dehumidifier for their space - I just got this one - we have an asthmatic, chronic upper respiratory problems paired with rhinitis cat 😸 - so the air quality and control is very important in this household. Along with myself having chronic health conditions it has certainly been a journey to start getting our home atmosphere under control. I reallly like this and this is what I like about it: ✨ when you first get it if your humidity is out of control, which in my brain is anything above 65% - there is an option to keep it running constantly which helps get those numbers down quick ✨ once you get it to where you want it you can then choose the option to set it to what you need - for instance I choose 50% - so it will turn on when needed to keep the humidity to that ✨ it comes with a draining tube and if you use that you can compact the dehumidifier into the part where it stores water for more living space ✨ last but not least you can also choose how full you want the tank to get before you need to empty it so if you don’t wish to carry a heavy bucket you can set it to low

I have had problems with the control panel from the start. The panel is unresponsive consistently. I contact customer service, which is useless. I basically "trick" the panel into working but that no longer works. It's a good unit when it works, but....... I'm out of warranty so I'm screwed but I would have attempted to fix it if there were human beings available. Nothing we buy today is perfect, but good customer support can get you close to that. Midea has failed me on that metric. I have other standard dehumidifiers that just keep on ticking. I don't recommend Midea for purchase.

I purchased the 35 pint model and it was easy enough to set up. I got the app to work fine, not sure why others have the issue, but it was easy enough. I have a dual band wifi router so nothing special. It is a little heavy. But not too bad. I do like the way it stacks, and stores. I didn't find it too noisy. And it didn't set my room on fire. It worked. Keyword: WORKED. After about 45 days, it just stopped pulling moisture out of the air. I reset the machine, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, deleted and re-added the machine to the app etc. Nothing, regardless of whether I controlled manually, or via the app. Just a dribble of water in the bucket after an evening of use. I'm not sure if it's coincidence, but it happened after the first - time to clean the filter message. I'm returning it for an exchange. So we shall see if the replacement is better. One word about the refill level "meter". It's not an actual sensor, or float or anything. It's a timer/estimator. If the fill level is at say 50% and you dump the bucket, there is no way to reset that water level, so it will continue to increase the "water level of the bucket" until it hits 100% and you will have to dump again. That's a pretty big oversight to not have a water level reset option. One way around that is to...say you the bucket is 50% full. Change the water level before you dump, manually on the machine to water level ONE. This will trigger the machine to stop and you can dump it, restart the maching and the water level will reset. Then you can change the desired water level back to where you want it.

So far so good! I’ve had my dehumidifier for about two months and it has worked beautifully. The humidity levels in our Florida home were regularly above 60% and this keeps them in the 40s. I love the larger storage tank and I find I only have to empty it every two or 2 1/2 days. The one thing I would warn, is because the tank has a larger capacity, when it’s full of water it can be heavy. I’m almost 60 years old and able to roll it to our back patio and then lift it to dump it. But 10 years from now, it might be too heavy for me. We’ll see. The nice thing is you can control the amount of water the tank stores before the unit automatically shuts off, so if it’s too heavy for you, you could always put it on the lowest storage setting. I found that the unit was easy to assemble and easy to operate. I do recommend it.

My Midea 35 pint cube dehumidifier was delivered three weeks ago. Initially I was a skeptical due to its shape and design but that skepticism was quickly replaced with admiration. The ease of unpacking it, the ease of downloading the app and the ease of programming the settings through the app was much simpler than I had imagined. It has been running for three weeks now and my basement has maintained the humidity level that I set on the app. I am even notified when the bucket needs emptying which is not as often as a traditional dehumidifier due to the bucket size. It’s quiet, easy to move around and after three weeks of ownership I couldn’t be happier. Time will tell how durable it is.

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

Silencioso y muy práctico.

This dehumidifier is not compatible with UK voltage and should not be sold in the UK without clear instructions for use. If you want to use this in the UK, you need a 1000 watt step down converter like this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0FG6QMWYR?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title I was only able to figure this out with the help of an electrician I happen to know and obviously purchasing the converter was an additional expense so this is far from ideal.

Buen producto me ayudó bastante con las alergias

Este producto llegó dañado y nunca pudo arrancar, lo devolvi a los pocos días y han pasado ya 3 meses y no he recibido mi reembolso
