Cube 20 Pint Dehumidifier for Basement, Up to 1,500 Sq. Ft. dehumidifier with drain hose, ENERGY STAR Certificated, Smart Control, Compatible with Alexa, White

The Midea Cube 20-pint earned a spot in my personal Hall of Fame for hardworking appliances. When my home developed moisture and air-quality issues, this compact powerhouse ran day and night without complaint—like a tiny, determined superhero with a built-in water bucket! It kept humidity levels steady when nothing else seemed to help, and I could actually feel the difference in the air. It’s easy to empty, surprisingly quiet compared to many other dehumidifiers, and simple to control through the app—a lifesaver when I couldn’t be at home but still needed to manage moisture. Another feature I especially appreciated was being able to set the water-collection cutoff (say at 1½ gallons instead of 3). It made the bucket light enough for even an elderly relative to empty safely—small detail, huge difference. Sadly, my Cube has been through the same environmental mess I’m leaving behind, so I can’t bring it into my new home. But that’s not on Midea! This little unit did its job beautifully and then some. If appliances could retire with honors, mine would be getting a gold medal and a trip to Disney World. Thank you, Midea, for creating a product that helped me stabilize my home, health, and sanity!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!

Purchased this dehumidifier as a precaution to the humid weather in my area. I plugged this in and easy set up. It feels very heavy duty. 5 days later I'm dumping 2 gallons of water that it collected so it absolutely removes moisture. All in all The air quality is better and it is a good value.

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.

This is my second dehumidifier ( first one was the Frigidaire 22-pint one ), so much of my review here is based on a comparison to that one. o Off-gassing - For those who are chemically-sensitive, this product is not for you. Upon opening the box, I noticed fumes from the packaging material. You could tell the materials used in the packaging are not of high quality. Also, after unpacking and wiping down the unit, turning it on for awhile resulted in air being released with a noticeable mechanical odor. o Design and Aesthetics - The concept behind this dehumidifier is interesting, especially its space-saving design. However, the execution falls short. From a visual standpoint, the unit is not particularly attractive when positioned on top of the collection bucket; there are glaring gaps between the motor unit on top and the collection bucket. Considering the price point of nearly $200, this is unacceptable. If I had guests over, I would be a bit embarrassed to have this sitting out. Also, when not in use, the motor unit is designed to sit inside the collection bucket. The motor unit has a vent on top, where the motor is visible. It seems there was no thought to assign a cover for the motor unit in storage mode. I could imagine dust accumulating inside the unit and with no way to access the internals of this unit, it diminishes confidence in the product's durability. o Functional - Despite the issues above, I was willing to give this product a chance. For my first run, I left it running in a humid room for 35 minutes, and not a single drop of water was collected. It just left an unpleasant odor. This was just a true disappointment. If the dehumidifier had worked efficiently, I would have kept this, but with a shabby 1-year warranty and the other issues noted above regarding the quality, lack of thought and care in design and packaging, I do not have much faith in the quality of this product's longevity. If I rated my Frigidaire dehumidifier as an 8/10, this one ( granted from my limited experience with it ) is currently 1/10.

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.

Works really really good. Plugged in, wired to internet, provides app info & control, sends notifications, and sucks moisture from the toilet. Even bugs become dehydrated. Easy to figure out how to operate. Sends message to change filter and when full of water ready to dump. Would buy again. I can’t think of anything I don’t like. Been using for over six months.

I've used mine steadily for 3 months and it's worked wonderfully. The manual says to run continuously for 24 hours for the initial running, so expect that. Fairly quiet. Setting the timer when it's off will turn it on, and vice versa. I'm in the pacific northwest and it pulls plenty of moisture out of the air. I hope it continues to chug along.
