Is the Midea Cube 20-Pint Dehumidifier worth it?
Yes — the best budget dehumidifier for small rooms.
It's small, easy to use and works quietly and quickly in a bathroom, bedroom, home office or small finished basement. The tank is big for its size, it folds down for storage, and it comes with a drain hose and app control. It's too small for large damp spaces, and it makes a slight metallic sound while running.

How we reached this verdict
Tom's Guide (4/5) found it small, easy and quick and quiet in small spaces, and names it its best budget dehumidifier; its one complaint was a metallic sound. RTINGS calls it the best dehumidifier for small rooms and a good budget basement pick for small finished basements, not large damp spaces.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
