Midea Cube MAD35S1QWT 35-Pint Smart Dehumidifier vs Midea Cube MAD50S1QWT 50-Pint Smart Dehumidifier with Pump

The MAD35S1QWT sits at the mid-capacity sweet spot of the Midea Cube line, and it was Consumer Reports' top-scoring mid-pint dehumidifier in 2026 testing. It carries over the cube chassis and the 3x-larger tank from the 50-pint sibling in a quieter, lower-wattage package for medium spaces. This SKU has no built-in pump, and real-world coverage lands closer to 1,500 sq ft than the marketing's 3,500 sq ft claim. In the rooms it actually suits, no other 35-pint unit matches its scores.

The Midea Cube MAD50S1QWT is the 50-pint pick: a collapsible cube chassis with a 4.2-gallon tank, a built-in pump that lifts condensate up to 16 feet, and the lowest measured power draw in its class. Dehumidifier Buyers Guide ranks it at the top of the 50-pint field. The lift-and-twist design is awkward with a full bucket and the warranty runs only a year.
