Product Information

I set one up on each side of the house and set the HVAC to just run recirculate for ten minutes of each hour. I don't know if it is an app issue or an issue with the dehumidifier but I am feeling less confident about this than I was at first. The display of third-party trademarks and trade names on this site does not necessarily indicate any affiliation or the endorsement of PCMag. This is good news for anyone with allergies, as it will remove airborne irritants such as pollen, mould spores, pet dander and even odours.

Within the app, Midea has its own voice-activated smart assistant to control the dehumidifier (or any other Midea smart appliance), but if you have it connected to Alexa, this feels pretty redundant. With multi-directional air intake and up to three different fan speeds, it is powerful enough to dehumidify your room and quiet enough that you’ll forget it’s even there. Following the in-app instructions, I plugged in the dehumidifier, tapped Next, and pressed the Power button for three seconds until the display read AP. This mode runs the unit at 35 per cent humidity and then, after six hours, switches the compressor off at 40 per cent whilst continuing to keep the fan running, which helps keep energy costs down. The water tank is also situated at the front of the unit and can easily be removed by holding either side of the tank and gently pulling.Onboard function buttons include a Power button, up and down arrow buttons for setting a target humidity level, a Fan Speed button (Low, High), and a Timer button. What’s more, its design makes it very easy to empty, and the smart controls are also very handy when you want to monitor it from afar. It has a handle for easy removal from the bucket, as well as several onboard control buttons and a status LCD that tells you the current humidity level and displays codes such as bucket full (P2) and unit not in place (Eb). It works by encouraging air to circulate and flow through a tablet similar in design to a dishwasher tablet. We should also point out that this dehumidifier is loud, and you can’t reduce the noise by switching to a lower fan speed.

We tested the laundry function, using it to dry a range of clothing – from light pillowcases to thick denim – and found it worked extremely well. So, if you suffer from allergies or conditions such as asthma, this is the perfect solution, as the air will feel a lot fresher. Due to the compressor getting going at first, we did find it a little loud, but after a while, it just faded to a low hum, making it perfect for running in the background while you’re watching TV. The dehumidifier appears in its own panel on the home screen, which shows the current device status (on/off) and the current humidity level target. Summers in New Jersey are often hot and humid, so having a dehumidifier definitely helps, especially if you have allergies.

The water tank is situated at the front of the unit and there’s a small window, so you can keep an eye on the water level, but when it’s full the LED light will light up to indicate it needs emptying. For colder months, it has an auto-defrost function, so, if the temperature drops below freezing, the inside of the dehumidifier will heat up to prevent the water from freezing. It can take 10l of moisture out of the air each day, but one thing that is a little disappointing is that there’s only a 2.

It blends into any room effortlessly and maintains the desired humidity level in your home, while the patented sensor and the wi-fi-enabled app allow you to monitor humidity levels all at your fingertips. It did a great job of helping to speed up the amount of time it took for our clothes to dry, which is super handy in the winter months when the washing line is out of action. As a general rule, a compact dehumidifier will suit a small space, while a larger area requires a more generously sized dehumidifier with a big enough tank to efficiently extract sufficient moisture. Plus, this is a great option that will see you use it throughout summer too, as it has a fan mode that will cool the air while reducing humidity.I didn't have an option of connecting hose to a drain, but this bucket holds a lot of water and only have to empty every few days. It sports a unique stackable design for increased tank space and easy storage, and reduces humidity levels quickly and quietly. It uses the same mobile app for Android and iOS devices as the Midea 8,000BTU U-shaped Air Conditioner and the Midea Duo Smart Inverter Portable Air Conditioner. I was in the middle of testing the Midea 20 pint cube dehumidifier, and since my basement was relatively unscathed, I lent it to my friend to help dry out his home. In addition, the MAD35S1QWT responded quickly to on and off app commands, as well as commands to change the target humidity level and fan speed.
