my use case is bathroom dehumidifying during showers bc theres no exhaust fan. this is very high humidity removal for like 20min a day vs what i will be purchasing a new unit for my basement likely running 24/7 until dead winter.
Community Reviews
This Midea 50 pint smart dehumidifier is best known for strong moisture removal and long-running basement or bathroom use, with the built in pump making drainage easier than manual dumping. Several long term reports describe two years or more of steady operation, and the phone app is genuinely useful for monitoring humidity. The main drawbacks are noise, noticeable room heat, and a humidity sensor that can run below the setpoint or short cycle. Pump failures and occasional odor or fan issues also appear, so it suits spaces where performance matters more than quiet.
The dehumidifier can run for years while still removing a lot of humidity from the air.
The built-in pump feature can simplify drainage by automatically discharging condensation when full.
The unit can be effective for bathroom dehumidifying when there is no exhaust fan.
The filter cleaning routine can be quick, which helps keep airflow and performance practical.
The fan noise can be loud even on low settings, which can make it unsuitable for living spaces.
The built-in pump can fail within a season, and pump-related noise can also indicate trouble.
The humidity sensor can be inaccurate and may refuse to stop at the setpoint, requiring full power-down.
The unit can produce a burning plastic odor after running, which can require returning the dehumidifier.

Side note- I always buy my dehumidifiers from costco due to their excellent return policy. Consumer grade dehumidifiers only seem to last 3-5 years with moderate to heavy usage. My last one (of a different brand, Midea) only lasted one year, replaced under manufacturer warranty, then that one broke two years later. I returned that to costco, they looked up the receipt, and gave me costco cash, which I purchased this model with. If and when this one dies I'll do the same thing again.
Have the Hisense now which is more powerful but noticed the pump isn't designed to keep up if it runs non stop so will switch to gravity drain.

My 3 units have been running on max 24/7 for several years without any issues.
They require cleaning the filters every few months and cleaning the p-trap on the drains about once a year.
They do very well at pulling water out of the air, but be aware they produce heat as a byproduct and will heat the room they are in over time.
