These are side-by-side facts taken from each product guide: published specifications, strengths and caveats as their sources state them. This page is not a test, a ranking or a verdict about which model is better.

Basements where water must be pumped up to a sink

This 50-pint Cube adds a pump that the manual rates to 14 feet of lift, with a 16-foot tube listed by the seller. It still needs weekly bucket emptying, eight inches of space all round and sixteen at the outlet. The top bucket level holds about 4.23 gallons.

Midea Cube MAD50S1QWT-A 50-Pint Dehumidifier

Damp rooms where the unit can sit above a drain

The no-pump 50-pint Cube runs on top of a bucket of about 4.2 gallons and nests into it for storage. It needs eight inches of space all round and sixteen at the outlet, and continuous or bucketless draining only works downhill. Midea's own page carries conflicting coverage and model fields.

Published specifications

  • Maker page: MAD50S1QWT-A, 50 pints/day, 4,500 sq ft, built-in pump: No
  • Manual: top fill level about 4.23 gal, roughly 40.5 lb of water
  • Manual: 8 in clear on all sides, 16 in at the air outlet, indoor only
  • Manual: working range 41°F to 95°F; listing says 90°F upper rating
  • Listing: 14.45 D x 14.76 W x 14.96 H in, 41.5 lb, 490 W, 115 V
  • Manual: one-year limited warranty from delivery or purchase, whichever later

Strengths

  • Large bucket and bucketless mode mean fewer trips to empty it
  • Nests into its own bucket for compact storage
  • Washable side filters with a 250-hour reminder and Wi-Fi app control

Caveats

  • No pump: hose draining only works with the unit above the drain
  • A full bucket is about 40 pounds to lift and carry
  • Midea's page lists 1,500 sq ft in one panel and a pump model code in its specs
