I purchased the 3000 Sq model back in March of 2021. I live in Florida and this dehumidifier has been running non-stop ever since. The humidity for most of the year is over 95%. This think has been keeping the humidity down around 40% to 45%. I run my A/C at 80 degrees, where I am comfortable.
Due to the amount of water this dehumidifier pulls out of the air does require dumping the reservoir several times a day. In the rainy season, I have had to empty the tank at least three to four times a day, due to 100% humidity. The rest of the year is at least two times a day.
I have read s9me of the reviews about this thing beeping when the tank is full at night, when people are sleeping. I solved that by emptying the tank before going to bed, then again when I get up, regardless if the tank is full or not.
This makes the house much more comfortable with lower humidity. The other think is how it has held up, it has been running 24 hour a day, seven days a week for the past three years. That is almost 26,000 running hours without any issues, so far.
As far as electrical use, it has had no effect on my electic bill. I think it is allowing my central A/C to run better because the A/C condenser is not getting all gummed up with very humid air going through it.
Allowing it to run more efficiently. This could be off setting the cost to run the dehumidifier.
As far as the sound, it is more lik3 white noise. My A/C makes more noise that this dehumidifier. I only here it when thexA/C turns off.
I do know that I am able to run the A/C less because the less humid air feels cool. When we have 70 degree temperatures with 100% humidity, I was running the A/C to lower the humidity, not the temperature. Now the dehumidifier is doing that job.
The only thing is, it does not have a pump to pump the water into sink or tub to drain. Even the larger model only empties the tank into a floor drain. It will not pump vertical for a few feet.
If Midea made one that would/could pump the water a few feet vertically (not their cube model), I would buy it.
Over all, I would buy this one again 1) because of how well it has held up 2) How well it does its job of removing the humidity.
