Is the Midea Cube 50-Pint Smart Dehumidifier worth it?
Yes — the best dehumidifier for most homes and basements.
It pulls moisture out quickly and quietly and is Energy Star rated. Its tank expands to about 4 gallons, so it can run for days between empties, or you can drain it through the included hose. It collapses for storage and has app and voice control. Emptying it means lifting the heavy top off a full bucket, and the app only works on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. If you need to pump water up to a sink, get the MAD50PS1QWT version with a built-in pump.

How we reached this verdict
Reviewed names it the best dehumidifier overall for its fast, quiet, efficient moisture removal and a tank that runs for days, though it's bulky. RTINGS tested the near-identical pump version and Popular Mechanics picks it for large capacity, noting it's heavy when full.
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.
