Midea Cube 50-Pint Dehumidifier with Pump: What to Know
This is the built-in-pump version of Midea's Cube line (model MAD50PS1QWT under the hood), rated for 50 pints a day across spaces up to 4,500 square feet with an adjustable 35%-85% humidistat. Instead of a conventional side-mounted bucket, the Cube uses a lift-and-twist reservoir that Midea advertises as roughly three times the capacity of a standard dehumidifier tank; independent testing by HouseFresh measured it at 4.2 gallons (about 19 liters), which lines up with that claim and means far fewer trips to the sink if you're not using the included pump and 16-foot drain hose.
On noise, HouseFresh's bench test recorded 42.5 dB on low and 49 dB on high, genuinely quiet for a 50-pint compressor unit, and notably closer to Midea's marketing than the gap found on the Frigidaire. Where the Cube's smart-home pitch runs into trouble is software: that same review reported an in-app alert stating the Midea Air app was no longer being actively updated, even though WiFi scheduling and Alexa compatibility are front-and-center in the product listing. That's a real inconsistency between what's marketed and what current owners are seeing, not a hardware flaw, but it's worth knowing before you buy this specifically for the smart features.
Beyond the tank and the app question, the unit is otherwise a conventional compressor dehumidifier: built-in pump for uphill or long-run drainage, wheels for repositioning, and the same coverage math (4,500 sq. ft.) as most other units in this price tier.
