*We liked it **Fastly.Cool** so much in the basement, we bought a second one for the main level. The amount of moisture it pulls out of the air is astonishing.*
My original intention for this humidifier was to use it for plants that require high moisture levels. After using it in my room, ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxtD9aJ2m6GU-X1IChQxjn9l31K1A7Kpwj however, I think that's where it is going to stay in the fall and winter season at least. The increased humidity in my room made the room warmer and more comfortable. I had first ran the humidifier for 4 hours with the timer setting for it. After the first hour, I checked my room and can feel the difference. When the full 4 hours was up, I checked again and noticed that the humidifier was shut off as it is suppose to. The moisture level never seem to get passed 56/57%. I then let it run until all the water is used up, which it wasn't all used up. There are still some left in the base that you are not suppose to add water to. I filled up the water tank all the way again, being careful when removing it from the base. Some left over water may spill out. After putting it back on and setting the unit to auto, I let it operate. It didn't stop running, rather I don't know if it did at any point since I didn't check it regularly, for 24 hours after which the water in the tank ran out. The moisture reading never passed 56/57%, which may be a good thing for me. Being situated right next to my bed, the noise was not very noticeable with the occasional water gurgle from time to time as the unit ran.
This channel never stops coming up with new and interesting gadgets! My basement dehumidifier runs non stop from April to November. I have a Frigidaire and it has been a solid and dependable unit. This one looks interesting although all the Bluetooth items (to me) just make simple things more complicated. Not sure if you mentioned the capacity of this one?
Thank you, the tank holds 4,2 gallons, some other dehumidifiers hold less than one gallon which is cray! You don't have to use the bluetooth but I absolutely love knowing when its full. In mass many of us have these in basements and totally forget they are full for weeks, sometimes longer until we start selling mold, etc. This one feature is really nice
Definitely check out my channel as there are many you may have never seen also and they are still current. But don't worry even though our season has finally come to an end I have some exciting things planned for spring that I think you will like with lawns & landscaping. Thank you again for the kind words too and watching my videos.
How strong are those plastics? The bucket does not seem that strong, full of water or carrying the unit is there a risk of breaking it? Does the bucket have wheels to change place more easily without emptying it?
Question…. Are you supposed to have the drain plug in when you want the water to drain into the bucket? And if so…. How or where does the water drain into the bucket???
Live in Mass. too so we run a dehumidifier in our basement half the year......that's a competitive price and I like all the features, good info per usual. How about the warranty?
Thank yoy. They say one year full replacement. I was happy to see the price too. I was bit worried it would be double that or more. I showed their smart ac last year and the response was great from those who got it too.
Thats a great unit ! have you come across anything that will humidify a home? I have the opposite problem of the house being too dry in winter and we have forced air vents , and it could get very dry in the winter months. Thanks Silver
I totally agree I actually gave them feedback about that. There is a huge market for a better humidifier too. I want them to make what they did here and do that for us. I would also like to see an option to connect it to a 1/4" water line so you wouldn't have to fill it too. We will have to wait and see!
If you live in Canada or the northern US, every lumber/hardware store should have a drum humidifier to install on your forced air furnace plenum. Almost every house has one installed due to furnaces running long in winter and drying out air.
Hi SC, Most dehumidifier drips few drops of water when removing the water tank. Does the Midea Cube drip from bottom of top unit when you're empty the bucket? Thank you.
You should earn a commission but I understand why because it makes your reviews more fair than those earning a commission. I at least hope you get paid for for a review. I don't plan on buying this, but you have introduced me to a few products I will be thinking about for Christmas gifts.
I appreciate that a lot. This looks to be very promising. I had a house where I ran a dehumidifier all year long. This would have been very appreciated
Here’s what I need : a humidifier that is completely cleanable inside because I’m tired of getting a new one every year because of the mildew smell. So I stopped buying them. And I don’t buy in Indiegogo anymore after getting shafted twice with no delivery.
I haven't done a video on these, but this is the humidifier I use. It works great, they are insanely expensive and both of mine were bought used. Clean them 100% and they are like new. Check them out: venta-usa.com/ Good stuff, but too expensive new.
Yes it can. Its got 3 modes, electric pump, bucket, or it has a port on the back for gravity drain and you can remove the bucket entirely. I know dehumidfiers aren't that exciting but this thing is amazing amzn.to/3PdwOVY and it has an app to for monitoring or alarms.
Thank you very much! Is this more energy efficient than the older traditional dehumidifiers? I have one from 10 plus years ago that is energy star rated but seems to use a lot of electricity.
It’s a great design and has amazing features. Sadly I can’t get their App to work for me, it won’t connect to the device after 20+ tries. It’s the only smart device I have, that I haven’t been able to control or automize
try setting home wifi to older G or N on your Router....basically older wifi channel bands B-G-N work with those LED "smart" appliance products. I found this out by trying for HOURS trying to get one LED "smart" light bulb....ugh.... APp worked
bought mine 3 days ago. but it hasnt collected a single drop of water. it says i have 31% humidity level and it only goes down to 35% . so i put it on continuous mode and even with 24 hrs of it being on. not a single drop of water was collected. is it cus the humidity level is too low? but my previous humidifier would collect water even when it read 30% humidity before it crapped out on me. so is it designed to just not collect water under 35% humidity? or is my unit defective?
@@SilverCymbal well.. according to midea's customer service, the unit SHOULD collect water even at 30% relative humidity. Since this is an electric dehumidifier and not a desiccant. they asked that i conduct a "shower test" to check the sensor (turn shower on with hot water to raise humidity and see if the unit collects water). Lo and behold, it did not collect any water. so i'm returning it tomorrow. thanks for the reply tho. hopefully this comment can help others that may run into the same problem.
You’re not alone. My house is usually at low 50s but I prefer dry. It takes a few days to collect a cup of water. My previous unit collected at least a gallon/day. It’s a bad product
I have the media cube plus two Frigidairs. Despite this video, the cube is nothing special. It's no smaller than typical units in its price and performance range, and it is kind of ugly. It's looks like two buckets sitting in the room. I do like the wifi controls, but many brands have this feature. The most notable new dehumidifier of recent years is the huge Frigidaire 60 pint which is much more efficient than units like the cube. The best dehumidifier is that one that doesn't break in the first few years of use.
Anyone have s as long term experience with this, I just had a home labs break for the second time in two years and would like to have a better experience
I didn't need the deumifider in the house in this video, but we moved and my new place is very humid and I ran one of these all summer. I got the auto pump model, it worked flawlessly for me. Just sharing my experience I hope others will as well.
Certainly wasn’t deliberate. It just slides out the side. I still use this model in my house today. There is no cheaper unit to run and the auto pump is amazing
I just bought one from Home Deport in Ottawa. It is possible their Canadian electrical certification had not been obtained until more recently. Our standards are a bit different, for instance wires must not break when flexed at -20C!
Saw this older review, along with quite a few more current ones. ALL of the new ones state the unit barely lasts a year. If anybody else comes here to see this unit, buyer beware. I will not be purchasing a future paperweight.
Not sure where you are seeing that, amzn.to/3D3weDr but over a year later this unit is amazing. I moved to New Hampshire without central air and a very damp basement. One of these runs 24/7 cost peanuts and works amazing. I am using the pump feature too so I never touch it. My reviews matter to me, and I am not alway right as time goes on but in this case this thing is amazing.
Not calling your initial review into question, but even just searching on Google brings up multiple reviews where the owners state these units stop working right at month 13. Im glad yours is still working, as it does not seem to be what the majority are experiencing.
Running a dehumidifier with the window open is very inefficient. If it is more humid outside, that will just draw humidity in that the unit will have to fight with. If it is less humid outside, you don't need a dehumidifier with the window open because you can just exhaust your humid air and draw in dryer air.
Yes 100%, hopefully you could see I closed the window and if you were using this type of setup putting a towel in the gap would be great or do the same setup and drain into a sink
review says the wifi sucks which makes sense as a lot of products of all kinds have shit wifi. Don't be fooled by all the bright lights and wizardry, it's all bullshit marketing. They should get rid of the wifi altogether to reduce cost. Basics people, fundamentals. Otherwise, looks decent per the reviews on Amazon.
people, don't put the tube out an open window and run this machine like the guy in the video. it defeats the purpose of running a dehumidifier. Humidity comes in through the open window as your machine is running making it work twice as hard
@Mazinblaster Z well i live in a really shitty humid environment all year round. AC cooling always dehumidifies as the operation is the same as dehumidifiers only with ACs using large fans and air noise. im not saying dehumidifiers products are useless, im just saying if a Window AC is possible for a room, it is a better cheaper option.
@Mazinblaster Z if you wanna use AC as a dehumidifier you can set the dry mode on. But it can be getting too cold for some people if the temp setting are to low
@@atg4469 Thank you glad they have been helpful, The one in this vide is gone when I moved but I am using the pump version as we speak and its been running off and on for a year straight, pumping and the electric bills are nothing like a reg dehumidifier. I would recommend this thing 1000%, I see some negative reviews but have no idea why mine has been flawless.
🔥 NOW Available on Amazon 🔥 amzn.to/3ajpDqD
just buy a small window AC, cheaper and much powerful as a dehumidifier

A humidifier can be added to your furnace. It’s a simple install to most forced hot air heating systems.
If you live in Canada or the northern US, every lumber/hardware store should have a drum humidifier to install on your forced air furnace plenum. Almost every house has one installed due to furnaces running long in winter and drying out air.
Hello sir... How has this dehumidifier held up over the past year? I'm looking to purchase something soon.
I have one and it’s trash. Doesn’t pull hardly any water
Hi SC, Most dehumidifier drips few drops of water when removing the water tank. Does the Midea Cube drip from bottom of top unit when you're empty the bucket? Thank you.
Great review and timely. My old unit definitely needs to be replaced and this looks like a perfect choice. TYSM!
Any time! Its a nice upgrade and the price is even less than old style machines seems like a win win

We just bought one, my issue is it blow warm air, should it do that?
Yes you will notice it is warm on one side and slightly cool on the edge of it. All dehumidifiers work like that, this is just much less $ to run.
Can this be mounted on a shelf so that I can use gravity to drain the hose into a slop sink?
Yes it can. Its got 3 modes, electric pump, bucket, or it has a port on the back for gravity drain and you can remove the bucket entirely. I know dehumidfiers aren't that exciting but this thing is amazing amzn.to/3PdwOVY and it has an app to for monitoring or alarms.

Is the early bird discount discontinued. I just found this video and do not appear to be able to use the early bird discount link.
Yes, unfortunately it is over for now, sorry
Is this a desiccant type with no compressor or refrigeration mechanism?
This has a micro compressor inside. Don't fall for those desiccant ones, they don't work
In the boating world, the latest desiccant models are industrial quality, and available in a range of sizes.
I would prefer dessicant as it is better for cold climate
