Deal History
Deal History includes data from multiple reputable stores, such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The lowest price among stores for a given day is selected as the "Sale Price".
Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
What makes this an awesome deal is that it has a built-in pump. OP, you may want to add that to the title.
This is a relatively new version of this product (35 pint with pump). It has been selling for about $150 since it was released a couple months ago, which is a great price itself since it has a pump. The normal 35 pint model hovers around $200-$250 and the 50 pint with pump is usually $300-$350.
We've had this model for a month and use it in a small bathroom and it seems to be working well. The negative reviews indicate that it isn't as effective in bigger spaces, but I haven't tested that yet.
One common piece of confusion with the Midea cube pump models is how to get the pump to actually do anything. In order for the pump to turn on, the bucket has to basically be full and the unit has to be turned on. To test, you can fill up the bucket with water (probably higher than you think) and turn it on and wait a bit. You do have to enable pump functionality, but there isn't a button to make the pump work or anything.
For smart home fans, this integrates well with Home Assistant, which is mainly how I have been using it. I have a separate humidity sensor in my bathroom that I use instead of the built-in one (which also means that I don't know how well it works using the built-in sensor). I have "continuous mode" turned on and then Home Assistant turns it on and off over Wifi. It does require the cloud, so it won't work if internet is down.
I have used the app a little bit and it works well enough. It seems like all settings can be managed without the app (directly on the device) if you don't want to connect to Wi-Fi though.
Edit: Forgot to add that I am buying a second one since this is such a great price. The built-in pump
Is so helpful!
Edit 2: Also check with your power company as you may be eligible for an Energy Star rebate (or a similar rebate).

Just ordered. Have had great experience with Midea ac units - willing to try another small appliance.
Edit: running for a few days and seems great. In basement, don't have a concern for noise. Haven't tried the app for the smart features. I will probably get another to replace my other unit (which runs, but I always wonder how well it works.)
Also, my Midea a/c units have been running like champs.
Currently liking this company.
Not sure why this deal closed but another thread popped up though..?

Great deal on a highly rated dehumifier with pump and smart function. Will move the Frigidaire upstairs. Ordered a 50 pint one a few days ago at Lowes for $200 more - will return and keep this one.

I was considering this one. I wanted a small unit that was rated in pints... not mL. All these ones that are small are only rated for 750-1000 mL/day... at 85% RH. Gotta get 10+ pints. The one in the deal was a bit too big for my space. At the end of the day I went with this one: https://a.co/d/6WsHbVv. It's rated for 20 pints. Works great. I paid $140 before the $10 coupon. I'm using a 1/2" ID plastic tube from Home Depot for continuous operation.
The features, weight and dimensions are identical to Consumer Reports #1 MAD35S1QWT, $245 at Amazon. The differences are lower airflow 188/159 vs. 255/215 CFM and slightly higher noise 49/42.5 vs. 48 Db.

I am using a this one that i bought at Menards (ill be returning it) on my main floor of my home (2500sq) It def works. It is placed in a different room about 20 ft away. My thermostat will creep up to about 56%-57% humidity without this running. With this on the thermostat will read about 52. Just the supplement I need to keep the ac from running to dehumidify during the day. My house is well insulated, rarely will get warmer than 76 even on a 95 degree day but ive battled humidity. This seems to be the curr for what ales me

Make sure to pay with a premium credit card like AMEX Platinum that offers an extended warranty, if you have one. I just got one too. Even if it breaks after a year, this is still an excellent deal.
I have this one running in my two car garage and it has been amazing. I bought the extended warranty just in case. Since the price of this dehumidifier was so low compared to other brands, it seemed reasonable to get the extra warranty time. Even with the extended warranty, this was still way lower than other brands and offers way more features comparatively.
The only thing that worries me, is the bucket isn't as strong a plastic as I would like. It's ok, but not as strong as I'd like. Be careful lowering the main unit onto the bucket, as repeated lifting and lowering of the onto it, might crack something on the bucket, if done aggressively/over lots of uses.
I'm planning on running the drain line to the corner of my garage at some point and just using the pump to empty into some plants just outside. Avoiding wear on the bucket and added convenience for me.
The wifi features on it are super simple to use and works very well and very responsive. I like the Auto on and off feature that uses the built in humidity sensor to keep the humidity within a range. Compared it to another humidity and temp sensor I have and they were about the same, so it seems to be fairly accurate.
100 degree garage temps here in Florida, combined with the garage sometimes hitting 85+ humidity, was wrecking havoc on things. Now it sits at a nice 50% humidity. Even after I open the garage for a while then recluse it, it has it back to 50% surprisingly fast, maybe an hour or two even. Could easily get away with using this in a much bigger garage or interior space I would think. Great deal, great product. 😊👍
This is great dehumidifier, I put one of this in attic which is very humid in the summer. It has remote control through the app and can turn on/off on schedule.
These work great. Have a 50 pint in our Travel Trailer to help with south Texas humidity and amazing how much moisture accumulates. Debating if I should jump on this and swap the 50 pint into our house.
