Not bad but I think Costco's deal is better. $129 in store, $139 online plus $10 shipping. Non members add 5%. Also extra 2yr warranty if you use your costco credit card. Good til 6/21.

Both seem pretty solid, IMO. Midea is a fairly new company (to me), but I recently picked up one of their new 2020 Smart ACs and that thing has been amazing, and also got me a $200 rebate from a company in my state.

It's possible these machines are similar/the same. It seems like there are hundreds of brands made by like 3 manufacturers. I think Midea is a manufacturer and they make some Danby stuff.

BTW, the Danby at Costco has a built in pump. I don't see this Midea has a pump so the Dsndy could be a huge bonus for those that need to drain in a sink or something.

Came across this article by sheer coincidence right after I read this post:

https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/16/as...index.html
"Founded in 1968, Midea is one of China's largest appliance companies, producing a range of products from air conditioners to dehumidifiers. In 2019, the company's total operating revenue was more than $33 billion."

They also just crowdfunded an AC that raised ~$1.5 million on Indiegogo, which I've been using.

I just bought a dehumidifer two weeks ago but came into this thread for the kidnapping jokes, i.e. somebody finally got fed up with breaking dehumidifiers and held the founder at gunpoint...

https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/16/as...index.html

In my experience all dehumidifiers break within 3 years, my last Midea lasted 2 years and was replaced under warranty and the replacement died 2 years after that. This time I got an extended warranty. If anyone knows of a dehumidifer that lasts more than a few years I'd love to hear about it. And it seems most of the brands sold these days are the same manufacturer, they probably figure they get a bad name and people are looking for a new brand to try.

Just bought the Danby at Costco. I had been trying to get other there to buy it. I'll set it up in a few minutes.

We have one that was in our house when we bought it, and it still works but is crazy loud and i want to see how well the new one performs.


edit: after transport it is supposed to stand upright for 6 hours before plugging it in, so I guess I will be trying it out tonight.

The OP item seems to have a decent number of recent negative reviews. Plus it appears to be dead now.

The Costco unit seems to suffer a simular fate.

First time buyer for a dehumidifier...
Any suggestion on better quality units, even if they cost more?

They pretty much all suck these days. Buy the cheapest one you can find. I just bought the Costco ones. Hard to find anything in modern 50 pint (same as older 70 pint rating) for $130. My unit just replaced a Hisense I bought at Lowes in 2014 and my Moms replaced her Frigidaire she bought in 2017. I suppose the Hisense lasting 6 years is outstanding these days.

the problem with the costco one is it has a pump. pumps on dehumidifier are know to fail. I recently got the Fridgiaire from BJs which got top ratings. If you get Danby at costco you get 2 additional warranty years use costco visa so 4 yrs total i think...

Well if that's the case I better start looking for a new dehumidifier, I've had my frigidaire for 2+ years now running close to non stop since I got it.

I bought the costco one last month and finally set it up yesterday. Its too loud for my liking, but seemed to work well. I hope to get over the noise or run it at night.

Regarding the pump, it is optional to use. So if I am using simple drain / just the bucket fill, where the pump is not working, will the whole unit still stop working if for whatever reason the pump fails?
