MIDEA MAD50P1AWS Energy Star Dehumidifier 70 Pint with Pump, Reusable Filter, Ideal for Removing Moisture for basements, bedroom, bathroom, with bucket of 1.6 gallon, New 50 Pint-2019 DOE, pump-2019

We've had the 4500 sq ft + pump dehumidifier for our +/- 3800 sq ft home (if you include the storage areas which are what prompted us to order the dehumidifier after a roof leak in an non-climate controlled area, which then got mildewy.) for about 3.5 months now, and I will never be without it again! We live on the gulf coast in a 110 yr old (so likely not very air tight) house. It is MUGGY in our climate (annual avg of 60% humidy at a dew points around 65-70 degrees f much of the year... We have not tried the hose for continuous operation yet, as we have been placing the unit strategically at first. (It will later have a permanent home with a drain line.) We keep it set on 55% and the auto function works well to click on/off as needed. We have days where the bucket is full in +/- 16 hours, but we've also had a dry spell where the bucket did not fill for several days and we just dumped it as a mold precaution. (As seen on another review, you can put a silver tab in the bucket to avoid microbial growth if its of concern to you.) It does work FAST too. We didnt empty the bucket earlier this week, so it couldn't come on overnight; the following morning I noticed our HVAC thermostat advised of a "dangerous humidity level" and showed that the house was at 82% humidity. After dumping the bucket and having the dehumidifier click on, it pulled water out of the air so fast that I was able to stand there for a moment and watch the reading go down by several percent in 1-2 minutes. If you want this in your bedroom and are a light sleeper, I will say you can definitely hear it. It may become like white noise to you if you set it to run continuously, though? But it's definitely not silent, it makes a little less noise than a window AC unit. For our use it does not bother us at all. The sensor on the water bucket works well so far. As a precaution, we set it on a tray for the first few weeks until we trusted the bucket sensor to stop operations and not leak onto the floor, so far so good! Just pay attention when replacing the bucket, to ensure the sensor hasnt popped out of place. (This is normal, easy to fix, and there is a reminder sticker on the unit to help you remember to pay attention to the sensor.) I did not anticipate I could love an appliance like this, but I do!!! I hope to never be without it again!

Très efficace je recommande. La fonction wifi est très pratique pour aviser du degré d’humidité et avertir quand le réservoir est plein

I have a number of problems with this Midea dehumidifier. 1. It is very noisy at both the high and low speed. 2. As I understand their Comfort Mode, you can set a humidity at which it shuts off. But it continues to operate noisily after it reaches the setpoint and seems never to shut off. 3. The air comes in from the back, so, if you want it to draw the air from the middle of the room instead of from the wall behind it, you have to turn it around exposing the ugly side of the unit. 4. The wheels are too small making it almost impossible to move on even the shortest carpet. I have to use a trolly to move it from room to room. 5. The water disposal bucket is poorly designed. It is not flat on the bottom, so, if you remove a full bucket and set it down to grab the handle, it spills. Because of the weird interior design, you have to empty the bucket very slowly or water will start coming out multiple places and may miss the sink. 6. I could not understand the operating instructions in the book. I called their service line twice. Both times I reached a person with a foreign accent that I could barely understand. Once children were playing in the background. The extent of her service each time was to read me the instructions from the book I had.

Good but pump is not working

The 4500 Sq ft dehumidifier with pump works better than my other units without a pump. With the pump, I have not had to clean the unit and remove black mold. Year around the unit holds the humidity level around 50% which is the goal. In the basement, where the unit is used, there has been a reduction is humidity and fewer electrical problems.
