Verdict

The Midea Cube 20 (Model MAD20S1QWT) is a compact, smart-enabled compressor dehumidifier engineered to cover areas up to 1,500 square feet, capable of removing 20 pints of moisture per day from a variable humidity range of 35% to 85%. Operating via a 430-watt peak power draw with two fan speeds and Energy Star certification, its standout physical characteristic is a patented lift-and-twist frame that houses an extra-large 3.2-gallon (12-liter) removable water bucket—tripling the tank capacity of traditional units to significantly reduce manual emptying cycles. Main pros include its exceptional moisture removal velocity, highly space-efficient nested storage mode that collapses the body to half its functional footprint (13.5 x 13.4 x 13.5 inches), and built-in Wi-Fi connectivity for remote tracking via the SmartHome app alongside Alexa or Google Assistant voice controls. For alternative setups, it features a flexible bucketless continuous drainage configuration using an included gravity hose, auto-restart, and automatic defrost safeguards. On the downside, this specific 20-pint variant lacks an integrated vertical water pump, does not include any dedicated cord storage management, and carries a short 1-year limited manufacturer warranty.

What customers like about Midea Cube 20?

  • Innovative lift-and-twist nesting design makes it highly compact and easy to store when not in use.
  • Features a massive water tank capacity for its size, requiring much less frequent emptying compared to traditional 20-pint units.
  • Excellent moisture extraction speed and performance in small-to-medium rooms, bathrooms, and RVs.
  • Highly energy efficient with low power consumption relative to its moisture removal capabilities.
  • Quiet operational noise output, even when running on higher fan settings.
  • Useful smart integration through a Wi-Fi app allowing users to remotely monitor target humidity, track bucket levels, and set operation schedules.
  • Provides versatile drainage configurations, including continuous passive drainage using the included gravity hose.

What customers dislike about Midea Cube 20?

  • Lifting the heavy upper motor/compressor unit off the base every time the water tank needs to be emptied can be physically awkward and demanding.
  • May struggle to efficiently regulate or significantly lower humidity levels in large, wide-open-concept spaces or heavily damp basements.
  • The official smartphone application can occasionally exhibit buggy Wi-Fi connectivity and only supports 2.4 GHz networks.
  • Standard manufacturer warranty coverage is limited to only one year.
  • Lacks integrated physical cord storage on the body of the unit.
  • Some long-term users have reported durability concerns over time, such as early component failure or coil icing just past the warranty period.
