5.0 out of 5 stars Love that I can control this from my phone!

I started using this a few weeks ago and it’s made a world of difference in my home’s humidity level. It doesn’t take long after turning it on to knock down the level. It’s a nice size, has wheels which helps with relocating, easy to set up, and it’s appearance isn't an eye sore. Mine is in the basement, set up with the internal pump/hose to continuously drain into my sump pump. Overall very efficient and great quality product. My favorite feature is being able to control it from my cell phone! The app allows you to check the humidity level, power off/on, ensure the pump is on, etc. Puts your mind at ease being able to control it, especially when you’re not home.

3000 Square foot coverage. White. Our house in the summer is extremely damp. We have french drains all around outside our home. Our HVAC company suggested a dehumidifier be installed but the cost was ridiculously high. We originally thought we would try this to see if it helped and then have one put in but this was relatively inexpensive and pulls 2-3 gallons daily when it’s rainy or there is high humidity outside. If we relied on our air conditioning to remove the humidity from our home it would be running constantly and we would freeze In our own home in the summer. This is very energy efficient, works great, very durable, not too big as to be a problem placing it somewhere and easy to move on the 4 wheels. It is a little noisy but after two years I don’t even notice it anymore. The filter is easy to access and clean. Easy to remove and dump the fill section. I purchased a hose and when we are gone overnight I move the dehumidifier closer to my walk-in shower so it can continuously drain. We have had so much rain this year that I decided to get a second unit to place on the other side of the house. We have an 85 years old home-it’s not an open floor plan, so the first humidifier needs a little bit of a helper this year. It is still pulling the same amount of water as it always has. The current unit arrived quickly and in great shape so I would also expect the one I order today (Saturday) to arrive on time Monday. Well worth the price-I definitely recommend this dehumidifier.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty nifty little humidifier. Does the job, and relatively inexpensive to run.

I live in Northern California, and for the most part due to low rain, and drought in the past, didn't have much high humidity to speak of. This year has been very different, with a lot of warm rain every few days and weeks, bringing in 99%, and 100% humidity days for a pretty long stretch.
So much so, I noticed a very large increase of indoor humidity too. So I got to looking into a seasonal type dehumidifier to help out.

Enter the Midea 1,500 Sq. Ft. Energy Star Certified Dehumidifier.
I purchased it January 28, 2024, and have been getting used to the way it works for the past two weeks.
Dang, what a difference. After doing some further reading on how long to run it at first, I opted to let it do it's thing for the first 48 hours. Then, run it for 12 hours from mid morning to early evening when the indoor humidity levels were the highest.
I don't run it on turbo mode, or comfort mode, or continuous mode.
The level has been set at 40%, and it keeps the indoor RH at 40%.

Okay enough of that boring stuff, on to the good part of the review.
The unit is compact, easy to set up, and straight foreword to operate.
I like that it is on wheels to move around if needed easily.
So far I have kept a close eye on the water reservoir, and empty it out when it gets about half full. At first that was twice a day, but as the house has dried out, down to once a day.
So all in all, I myself would recommend it based on my experience so far.

Okay, other stuff.
I read other reviews mentioning leakage. I have not so far had that issue, but I did pick up a catch pan to place underneath just in case. Not sure if this tip is helpful, but before emptying the water bucket, I'll tip the unit forward to let additional water drain out first.

Other reviews mention the fan is loud. Perhaps it is a bit, but not any more loud than running the AC fan in the summer, and certainly not excessively loud. This unit was designed to move air and circulate in a 1,500 square foot space, and it does a bang up job of it.

I've only had it for about two to three weeks so I can't speak to it's longevity, but really these days appliances aren't built for and don't really last for decades anyways. They're all disposable, and that's the way it is.

The house is perceptively less humid, feels great, and that weird winter time musty aroma that would occasionally seep up from the crawl space has vanished.

With all that said... It's up to you, but I'd give this one a shot.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST DEHUMIDIFIER
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2024
I should start my review by saying that my mom has had this brand of humidifier since I was in middle school and it’s held up so well so that is why I bought one of my own. I recently moved into an older and slightly mildewy smelling home. This has been so helpful in reducing the smell and keeping the house dry during the humid Midwest summer! I know it’s working well because we have to drain it once (sometimes twice) a day! It plugs in to the wall and the buttons on the top make it easy to set it at either a constant fan or “as needed” we have it going constantly right now and are loving how it makes the house feel better. I also like that it shuts off when the tank is full and beeps so we know! I like this size, but if you live in a more than one or two bedroom house I might recommend a bigger one! We plan on getting a slightly smaller one to have upstairs since this one sits in our basement.

Great value for the price and I can not recommend it enough!
