Midea Cube 20 Pint Dehumidifier for Basement and Rooms at Home for up to 1,500 Sq. Ft., Smart Control, Works with Alexa (White), Drain Hose Included, ENERGY STAR Most Efficient 2022

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

I'm not sure this is even legal for them to sell it in the UK! It came with a US plug and we had to buy a transformer so that we could use it here in the UK (even though we bought it via amazon.co.uk)

Muy buena opcion funcionan muy bien

Not working !

Interesting design. For those who do not use a hose, the large bucket (and 20 pint rating) means less frequent emptying. We have the unit sitting on the bucket with a garden hose attached. That's been working well. There is essentially no vibration and it is relatively quiet. It seems to be decent quality, but that's just based on what I can see and feel. It has been struggling to get down to the set humidity level of 45%. It's currently 47% -- a hygrometer sitting several feet away reads 48%. The previous unit was a 50 pint Toshiba, so any comparison would not be fair, but it had no trouble at all. This is an old log cabin. The basement is only about 240 s.f. We've never had trouble with water which is surprising because it has a 'dry stone' foundation. Some stones are occasionally damp though. Lastly, if Midea's specs are accurate the unit is very efficient. I haven't checked it with a Kill-a-Watt meter yet, but I probably will out of curiosity.

I live in a one bedroom basement apartment and purchased this little cube to help with the high humidity in the basement. The space I'm using the dehumidifier in is just shy of the unit recommendation for the square footage. Within the first 2 hours of plugging it in it dropped the RH% from 83 to 59, and by the following morning it was a comfortable 46% RH. The price is great. Very easy to set up. Impressed by the attention to detail and the operating options. Simple push button controls, great custom options for operation. It seems to be well constructed of quality materials and was well packaged for safe transportation. It is definitely more quiet than the dehumidifier my parents had in their basement growing up as a kid. In my opinion, it is louder than a desktop oscillating fan but quieter than a bathroom ceiling fan. I realize newer BR ceiling fans are made ultra quiet these days so think of a non ultra quiet BR ceiling fan. The point is, yes, you can hear it when it is running, but it is quiet enough not to interfere with living life as normal if you have to set it up in constantly used living space, like I have in the living room of my basement apartment. It's compact and doesn't take up much space the robust handles on the unit make it easy to lift off the cube and put the cube back on the catch bucket, which also has a nice robust handle to carry the filled bucket to where it will be emptied. Its design and colour offer a simple functional appearance that makes this unit something that doesn't have to be hidden away, it blends into its surroundings well. The cord is a good length, however depending on where you plan to put it you may be left short of cord. I picked up an AC extention cord to get some extra length and it gives me more flexibility on where I can put the dehumidifier. Lastly, the app... hmmm... it could be better, should be better... a lot better. I don't want to take away from how great this little cube is. If we could rewind time to when apps didn't exist you would never regret this purchase and would most likely be as impressed as I am. Sadly, we have been spoiled by technology and apps do exist and the app made for this dehumidifier does the dehumidifier a disservice. After several attempts of troubleshooting and hassle with the app I made the decision to uninstall the app and pretend like it doesn't exist. I can enjoy my purchase of this impressive little cube dehumidifier without it!

I am SO thrilled with this dehumidifier! (Odd to say that about an appliance?) Short story - We have a basement office, and when the AC unit in the garage leaked, it saturated the wall and carpet in part of the office. We had an OLD dehumidifier, which was tiny and very hard to clean, which did the job for the first “flood,” but within a week, the old one malfunctioned and ended up reflooding the office carpet and pad! Thankfully, we had already ordered this one (again, the old one it was so small and got moldy so easily), we set this up immediately. Set up was ridiculously simple (we aren’t using a drain), and it pulled so much water out so quickly! The capacity of this Midea Cube made a huge difference in how intently we had to monitor and physically interact with the mess. Within a couple of days (using the dehumidifier and fans), everything was dry again! And even so, it continues to pull enough moisture out that we are emptying it every two days. (We do have it set on a lower capacity so I can lift it and dump it in the sink/outside, but we do have the option of letting it fill higher and longer!) and I am THRILLED with the open bucket so it will be easier to clean. (The old one was NAAAAASTY.) It is very effective at handling basement moisture, it got rid of both the wet carpet and general humid basement stink, and I love the ability to change the emptying volume. Pictures: currently working (41 reading)… opened up to see capacity (this code shows when it’s open and we set it on the floor to empty the bucket)… the setup as it was finishing out drying up the floor/carpet/baseboard area.
