Ranked #2 in Best Dehumidifiers

Midea Cube MAD35S1QWT 35-Pint Smart Dehumidifier

4.7

3 sources$170as of May 23

The MAD35S1QWT sits at the mid-capacity sweet spot of the Midea Cube line, and it was Consumer Reports' top-scoring mid-pint dehumidifier in 2026 testing. It carries over the cube chassis and the 3x-larger tank from the 50-pint sibling in a quieter, lower-wattage package for medium spaces. This SKU has no built-in pump, and real-world coverage lands closer to 1,500 sq ft than the marketing's 3,500 sq ft claim. In the rooms it actually suits, no other 35-pint unit matches its scores.

Strengths

— Quietest in class at 50.4 dB low / 52.2 dB high in quietest.org testing
— Consumer Reports gave it the highest score of any mid-capacity dehumidifier in 2026 testing
— Same lift-and-twist cube design and 3x larger tank as the 50-pint Midea sibling

Watch-outs

— No built-in pump — gravity drain only on this SKU
— Marketing claims 3,500 sq ft but real-world coverage is closer to 1,500 sq ft per quietest.org
— Companion app has not received feature updates in over a year

Midea Cube MAD50S1QWT 50-Pint Smart Dehumidifier with Pump

4.9

2 sources$299.99as of Aug 1

The Midea Cube MAD50S1QWT is the 50-pint pick: a collapsible cube chassis with a 4.2-gallon tank, a built-in pump that lifts condensate up to 16 feet, and the lowest measured power draw in its class. Dehumidifier Buyers Guide and HouseFresh both rank it at the top of the 50-pint field. The lift-and-twist design is awkward with a full bucket and the warranty runs only a year.

Strengths

— Pulled a test chamber from 90% to 40% RH in 7 minutes 39 seconds
— Built-in pump lifts condensate up to 16 feet to a sink or out a window
— 4.2-gallon tank holds about 34 pints, roughly three times a conventional bucket

Watch-outs

— Lift-and-twist cube is awkward to carry with a full bucket
— The companion app has stopped receiving feature updates
— One-year warranty against five years from Honeywell

How they stack up

Midea Cube MAD35S1QWT 35-Pint Smart Dehumidifier

The MAD35S1QWT shares the same cube chassis and large-tank advantage as the 50-pint MAD50S1QWT and 20-pint MAD20S1QWT siblings in this lineup. It is noticeably quieter than the 50-pint Cube (50 dB versus 65 dB low) but gives up the built-in pump that the MAD50S1QWT includes. Compared to the Honeywell TP50AWKN, the Midea hits a lower noise floor but loses the five-year warranty advantage. The hOmeLabs HME020031N at 50-pint has higher raw capacity but doesn't match this unit's noise or Energy Star numbers in mid-size rooms.

Midea Cube MAD50S1QWT 50-Pint Smart Dehumidifier with Pump

The performance and convenience pick over the gravity-drain Honeywell TP50AWKN and the manual-empty hOmeLabs HME020031N. Against the smaller MAD35S1QWT and MAD20S1QWT Cubes it adds the integrated pump and roughly doubles the capacity, but gives up their lower noise floor and smaller footprint.
