Midea Dehumidifier Detailed Review - Mostly Good, Sort Of 

Glad it was useful, I wish I had done more research before buying mine. Fortunately, I'm just not using those features. Thanks for the encouragement, keeps me pushing forward!

Great review of mediocre dehumidifier!

@williamwinn948 great to hear, ours is still running 3 summers later!

@FelaKuti8000 you should be able to just push the pairing mode button briefly and it should reset it. The button is misleading. There is no sensor to know when the filter needs to be cleaned, it's just a timer that is reset after quick pushing that button. If you long press then it goes into pairing mode.

Thanks for sharing, that's good to know. I purchased 3 from Sams Club so when one went bad (loud vibration sound and no dehumidification) I was able to return it for a full refund. I hope you can find a resolution and I'm sorry it turned out that way.

@@HappyCamperDeals spoke with more staff at Midea. Dehumidifier was manufactured February 2021, bought June 30, 2021. Failed August 2022. Nothing they can do further. #midea #needanewdehumidifier

What's the common failure with these

Same with mine. One month after warranty expired. Bad deal

I'm not sure, but I think it's the thing that can sometimes flip down when opening the tray, although, I think that's for pumping the water out so again I'm not sure how it knows to stop.

@@HappyCamperDeals so apparently is no switch, mine wasnt collecting water because its winter and the humidity was not high enough 🤣

You don't break the cover, you unscrew it! "Read the instructions."

Yea, the pump function wasn't very helpful to me so I think you're fine without it. It's a bit quirky that's for sure... the manual does help!

Being from California and not being used to the humidity this made a very noticeable difference! It made us feel like we're still in California! We did have to empty it a lot though but as time went we got used to the humidity and now we keep it on low and feel fine. If there is substantial humidity you will feel a big difference running it on high for a few hours.

I think it's because there isn't a good seal in our home and the humidity gets in easily. We live in Tennessee, the humidity here is quite high. Thank goodness for these dehumidifiers though, that really makes a difference!

I'm glad it was helpful! You're welcome!

I think it's MAD35C1ZWS, I got mine 2 years ago and this might be an updated model. All specs are similar if not the same.

The only thing I see when I look it up is the Midea 1500, I think because it's made for spaces up to 1500 square feet. You can find it on amazon here - www.amazon.com/MIDEA-MAD70C1YWS-Dehumidifier-Reusable-basements/dp/B07NRDBBH5/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=3QQ2V39L6BEDR&keywords=midea%2Bdehumidifier&qid=1662927665&sprefix=midea%2Bdehu%2Caps%2C122&sr=8-1-spons&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.f5122f16-c3e8-4386-bf32-63e904010ad0&th=1

@coacks we bought three, one failed in less than a year while the other two still work quite well 2.5 years later. Seems the quality is inconsistent at best.

You don't have to have a pump. In fact this unit's pump is not that useful and the tube leaked on me more than once. Also, the tube that sucks water out of the bin only reaches half way, so even if you use the pump, it can only empty the unit half way. Lastly, the pump is very loud and makes a rattling sound. I don't use the pump any more and it is not necessary if you just empty the bin manually as it gets full.

@@HappyCamperDeals wow man, thanks so much. Bought this earlier and have been scared to use it not knowing.

@@zachanderson4890 You're welcome. I found it difficult to find the answer too. Glad to help!

You're welcome!

That's a great question! It generally blowes cool air but after some time it will change to warm air. All good dehumidifiers work this way because the moisture could feeeze without some way to warm up the system. The way a dehimidifier draws moisture from the air is by some rods that get cold. As the air passes through it, moisture condenses onto the metal and removes the humidity from the air. After running for some time, it gets so cold, tge moisture can begin to freeze and it could diminish performance so it has a built in heating system. Unfortunately, you cannot control the air temperature, it just goes from cool to warm as the unit detects what is best.

@@HappyCamperDeals thank you for your reply I appreciated it and I am glad that's normal

@@sonofyah8650 you're welcome!

I know right! Mine failed twice and it just spilled all over though :(.

Thanks for your honest opinion, I can tell we both have had a different experience. It is important for everyone to know my side of it is not the only one. I can understand your frustration especially when you can compare to your own unit. Thank you.

@jotu173 What a rude comment. There’s no need to be disrespectful. You wouldn’t speak to the reviewer to his face like that so why do it behind the protection of internet anonymity?

YES I WOULD, READ MY LIPS.... I didn't think it was possible to both suck and blow at the same time until I watched your video as your video proves it to be possible...IT DOES BOTH!!! YOUR VIDEO StINKS! @@MobiusVideo

So glad you love yours! Mine is working great too! Thanks for watching and commenting :).
