Midea Dehumidifier

[@syreetasyreeta3276]

Thank you for explaining the features and how to use. The manual was not helpful to me.

[@LatinLonghorn80]

Agree…..the manual is very unclear.

[@andrewosborn6742]

Ditto! Like nothing that even remotely resembles helpful

[@zoroluva]

Yeah the manual doesn't explain what the different modes do!!!

[@j3nn4w0lf]

I agree! Thank you so much!

[@Not_preppycats]

YA

[@pattyg982]

This was a great dehumidifier for the two years it worked. I stumbled upon your video while trying to troubleshoot a repair. I called the company for advice. The unit is 2 years old - one year out of limited warranty. They had me register the unit and then said there is nothing they can do. No one repairs these things anymore and it's a somewhat pricey item to be "disposable".

[@TheInternetSorcerer]

Yeah I hate when that happens. I actually had a dehumidifer recently break. It wasn't this one (it was another brand, a very expensive one). It still works but it doesn't turn off and I can't adjust it. I just plug it in and it runs until it fills. It sucks when they break because they are so expensive. They are useful though so I always buy them. I currently have two dehumidifiers. Hopefully they last a little longer. They are very useful!!!!

[@sbond1963]

Same reason why I am here. After two years, the compressor stopped working. I suspect like others. It’s the capacitor. But the way they set up the streamlined cool looking cover I can’t figure out how to get it off. I’ve removed every screw that is visible but it’s still stuck on something.

[@user-ov2fc5sd1e]

Thank God I got 5 year extended warranty on the compressor (for $50 only)

[@johannesgigar1342]

I appreciate this very much for explaining all the features. I just bought one and your video is very impressive and well detailed.

[@keepgoinzeus]

Wow, I was sitting, legs crossed next to my dehumidifier just like your thumbnail when I found this, lol

[@TheInternetSorcerer]

LOL

[@BonnieIsenberg-j9n]

Thank you so much lost my instructions so thankful for you ❤❤❤

[@smallisbeautiful2808]

We're all the way up in Massachusetts, but right at the Atlantic coast, so we can still get some Bizarro World humidity here. I'm 62 and work in a fast-paced warehouse so I need to get enough deep wave sleep to be able keep up with the younger workers.. Without a good dehumidifier my sleep would be so shallow that I would have to take a leave of absence from work until at least mid-September. Thanks for this detailed, easy-to-follow video

[@divine_dialogue_]

I'm in MA too, Medford. I have mine in the basement where my office is and an air purifier in the bedroom but wondering if I should put in my bedroom?

[@PARTTIMEBRO]

This was very helpful! I just moved to JAPAN and its brutal in the summer! Thanks!

Now THIS is a good video for a review. Thank you!

[@TheInternetSorcerer]

Glad it was helpful!

[@SistaChic]

Very helpful. I get nervous with gadgets but you made it simple and easy to use. My dehumidifier is now humming away. Thanks!

[@DwayneSimmons-r2y]

Great unit, I had it given to me and didn't have any instructions. I'm so glad I found this video because I would have never known to push the power button to turn it in or off😂

[@megamarkcomputerservices6271]

Wow thank u bro. I bought one beauase my apartement has a lot of moisture which cause mold and chalk like powder on the wooden items. In a matter of 3 hours the water reach a quarter. Its an amazing product. 😊 everything u said is on point. This video is very helpful.

[@TheInternetSorcerer]

:)

[@bobfichuk5304]

If it fails they don’t back the product. I got the extra warranty and they will not respond to my emails

[@Marc_Soulslike]

I was wondering about that flashing light, thanks for solving this problem for me

[@Dr.Scorpio]

Excellent video. Thank you for the detailed explanations.

[@duggiebadd2804]

Great tutorial thank you. I finally know the ins and outs of this

[@GROOMtiME]

So I’m curious. Why does my unit blow out warm air on the side and then sometimes is blows out cold air like a fan. This happens both on comfort & continuous. If I go into the app and then set the fan on high & I put it to 85% or even 35% and the air gets cold. Anytime I change the % number, it blows out cold air. But after a few minutes it’ll go warm. Just curious if that’s normal.

[@Zanethegamingcat]

Amazing video, clear to follow ! definitely a must watch !

[@HistoricalWeapons]

Hey man if the humidity in room is 20 and you set the machine as 70, what happens

[@ericamckeller385]

Awesome video! We lost the instructions to ours so this was extremely helpful. 👍🏽

[@Martin944turbo]

Thanks, good review. Just ordered one for my basement.

[@overthetop040411]

Hooked hose to the continuous drain...it doesn't drain, not one drop. Bucket filled up and just started spilling over. Got the floor soaked. Not sure why. Any ideas?

[@ashleyb4802]

Very helpful, thank you !

[@Louyou2]

This was helpful. I just hooked up today. I put the tube in the back but now it won't come back out. I'll go hit the pump light. Very little water barely coming into the unit bucket. How hard can I pull that white cable back out and just count in that internal bucket? It took a while to actually find it's bucket. I had 4 inches of water in the cellar this summer and water to dry it out better.

[@crokkadoodledoo9956]

Thanks for making review. I’m on the fence of which dehumidifier to buy. The Midea or Hisense brand. Nice features on Midea.

[@dennisjazzy2004ds]

Excellent review as opposed to reading tons of it. Appreciate.

[@mattsmith496]

Very useful video and well explained thank you very much. The manual didn't make sense.

[@CarlosHernandez-wu6iq]

I can't tell if mine is working. I've had it for over 24 hrs, going on Continuous & turbo settings and the bucket is completely dry. I don't have the hose connected cause I'll just let the bucket fill then dump it. I live in the basement and its always been humid. And the humidity makes it way colder. We've always had a dehumidifier and it always collected water. Did I possibly get a damaged one?

[@TheInternetSorcerer]

That’s super weird it should definitely be filling with water. Something is definitely wrong I think. Maybe try returning it or exchanging it. Good luck man.

[@aaronnewman6744]

I’m having the same issue. And in Louisiana. Talk about miserableeeee

[@dimitrikezis]

Thanks for this video. Can you examine or show how to clean the filter?

Why does mine blow warm air?

[@marapc1010]

Thanks. Great review. Very detailed.

[@bartcomments5886]

Is there a difference in the "Comfort" setting, and just manually setting the machine to 50% humidity?

[@alphaomega8373]

FR i wanna know too.

[@keithhuckfield4175]

Not sure if I should be using the Comfort or Continuous setting?....Does the Comfort setting turn the machine off and on depending on where the humidity level is set and does the Continuous allow the unit to run with out stopping and starting? Why would I use one over the other(Comfort vs Continuous?).Thanks.

[@davidweatherall437]

Great information. Thank gig

[@toddgabweg]

Mine started to ice up- is there a way to remove the cover to clean the inside?

[@AbelLeba-tb7lg]

[@sbond1963]

So after two years of use, the compressor is not running on my 50 pint Medea with a pump. Just like the one you’re talking about. I would like to troubleshoot it, but I cannot figure out how to get the cover off. I’ve removed all visible screws and it’s still stuck somehow any ideas?

[@keithhuckfield4175]

According to Midea,the fan runs constantly.When using the Comfort setting,once the unit detects the set point for humidity,the compressor shuts off,but the fan still runs to circulate the 'new' air.I thought my unit was defective because it would neve shut off,not like my other dehumidifier,which would turn off all together once the set point for humidity is reached.Midea manual does not explain this at all.

[@Stewarts_Woodworks]

For gravity drain feature on models not containing the optional pump, hose may NOT be run to a bathtub if that means the hose has to run uphill. For the gravity drain feature, the hose must only go downhill, thus their suggestion of “floor drain”. With those with the pump feature like mine, that hose may be run uphill to a sink, tub, whatever

[@Deweycox710]

My on and off button stopped working all the sudden any recommended fixes would be helpful? Thanks.

[@TheInternetSorcerer]

This happened to me with another brand. I plug it in and it just turns on, really weird. Does yours turn on ?

[@Deweycox710]

@@TheInternetSorcerer update: I thought it might be a bad on and off button all the other buttons worked so, I decided to open it up and have a look at the control button. I had never took one apart before so, I was hoping I wouldn't break anything. I finally got it open and checked the switch which had connectivity so, I put it back together like about 3 times. I forgot it had a timer you could cut it on so, I could still use it. One day the on and off button started working again and still works today but who knows if it will stop again.

[@eleet321]

I was looking for an official video from Midea, but couldn't find it so I clicked on yours with low expectations lol. But this was helpful right away, super concise and no fluff. Thanks a lot. Do you think this will work well with a two story house? Or should I take it upstairs separately and run it?

[@TheInternetSorcerer]

Oh that's a tough question! Personally I have TWO dehumidifiers that I use regularly. I use one upstairs and one downstairs for drying my surf gear. They are expensive so it sucks to buy two, but I sucked it up and did it lol. I'm glad I did, I got so tired of carrying the huge dehumidifier down the stairs!

[@craigberg6513]

Please read the manual. If you attach a hose to the back it is meant to be drained into a floor drain not a bathtub or sink. The reason, it is a gravity feed and it will not pump the water out (this is what the other hose is for).

[@jamesm568]

Or keep it elevated.

[@babozalit]

Thanks, helpful.

[@pica6888]

Hi I have a question. I like to be able to adjust my dehumidifier so it cycles on and off. But on comfort or continuous you cannot set the humidity level. So if you just turn it on but leave comfort and continuous off can you adjust your own humidity level.

[@VanIyke]

Any idea how to open the side vent? 4 year old dropped a pen and color pencil through it.

[@pollotom]

Informative vid. I have 2 of the MAD 50 units that are 2 yrs old placed in my basement. I use the hose discarge to a sump pump. Mine does not have the discharge pump... needs to gravity discharge. BOTH of the units initially drained using the hose. However, lately they BOTH fill the bucket as well as trickle out the discharge hose. I find the bucket being frequently filled to be VERY inconvenient... every other day.... at which time the dehum. shuts down. The discharge hose is clean and there is no visable obstruction in the port at the hose attachment. I have not come across a troubleshooting guide that addressed this issue and there is no direct contact after the first year warranty period. Any one else have a similar issue and or solution?

[@TheInternetSorcerer]

Oh that’s really unfortunate. Maybe someone else knows. Good luck 🍀

[@lawrences2000]

The drain hose can get clogged with scum. Try disconnecting the hose and blow through it. If you can't blow through it fairly easily, you need to replace the hose.

[@pollotom]

@@lawrences2000 Thanks Lawrences2000 Took the drain hose off and hooked it up to the garden hose. Was a bit slimey inside but not plugged. I recently found that the drain hose needs to be close to completely vertical in order for the unit to drain w/o backing up into the holding reservoir.

[@judiamourmason]

Does this one blow hot air back in the space?

[@jbailey3983]

I have two Midea dehumidifiers: a cube model on main level of the house and a 50 quart model similar to the one of this video. I especially like the cube model as the bucket is easy for me to empty with it on a 3 water level setting. However the unit in the basement has just started to freeze up on the coils and allow ice to build up on the air filter. So I have to carry it into the basement bath and allow the ice to thaw and then plug it back in. Seems like the auto defrost feature is not working. Compressor seems to be ok and it works well except for the ice build up. I empty the water by using the unit's pump feature and carry the water to my sump pump. Everything worked great for a year, then of course, the ice build up began after the unit was out of warrenty. The hose is impossible to disconnect from the unit pump. I might just turn off the pump button and allow water to empty into the bucket. I would say Midea units work great until they don't or until the warrenty runs out on certain models. Of course the Asian written manual is poorly written with really bad and small drawings. I still have about two months of use for the machine in the basement so I will try to make it work until then. Probably get a different style dehumidifier as I can not live without one in the humidity of Virginia. I do have a question: is it possible to run the unit and empty the bucket and leave the pump hose attached since I can't remove it anyway.

[@SoloTravelCanada]

Hey sir. I have the Midea 1500 standard 22 pint dehumidifier from amazon. I notice that when set on comfort only it will run for a bit and shut off suddenly for like 10 to 15 seconds then turn it back on again run for a bit and shut off again. But this does not happen when in normal or turbo mode. Would you know if this is normal behaviour or I have a faulty Midea dehumidifier? Please help. Thanks.

[@margaretcummings2344]

There is a sticker on the front of my dehumidifier that instructs me to remove the power cord buckle and "make sure the float switch is properly set." I can't find any instructions on how to set the float switch. Currently, the bucket is not collecting any water. Could it possibly not be working because I need to so something with this float switch. Thanks

[@maggiegagnon6865]

I was wondering about this as well and am running into the same issue. Did you get it figured out?

[@margaretcummings2344]

@@maggiegagnon6865 I think it didn’t appear to working because the humidity level in the room wasn’t above 30. Everything is working fine now. However, the company never responded to my email.

You have to open the bucket, the corld buckle is taped to the right side

[@MoAdel92]

Do i need to let it settle after moving it from one room to another Because the dealer told me to let it to settle for 8 hours so the compressor can build his fluid up

[@gisellekundera6257]

Love, I just moved into a basement and is super humid. I found there’s a midea wdp70ae6n model with a hose attached to it. I have never used one, it’s a bit different from the one you’re showing. Can you please help me and walk me through what to do to get it to remove the humidity? Also at what level should the humidity be, regularly?

[@davidweatherall1486]

Thank you!! Great video

[@AFutureLegend]

Does it matter if I purchased too large a dehumidifier for my basement? I’m afraid the room is getting too hot.

[@Fitmiss1010]

I just unboxed the unit, turned it on and realized the fan never shuts off even when reaching the desired humidity setting. While the compressor turns off, having the fan run continuously unless I shut the unit off is not cost efficient, is un-necessarily noisy and a deal breaker for me. Will be looking for another unit with auto-fan shut-off.

Humidity above 60 is considered not good And 70-80 will risk you respiratory system , clothes , furniture and any leather products + mold accumulation So you must set it up to % This is considered very good And not under 35 ( this will cause dry skin)

This unit is very loud if you are thinking of putting it close to a tv , living room. Used a lot of kWh in one month specially if you leave it on comfort mode or continuous mode.

[@blessedhope5442]

My Dehumidifier works great but......I have it hooked up to a hose which is draining but shuts off with water bucket full. What is the point of the hose if I have to empty a bucket?? I had a Frigidaire that drained through a garden hose to the drain in my basement. The dehumidifier was up on a small crate and the hose attached to the water outlet and it just drained through the hose! This Midea I have is up on the crate also but I still have to empty the bucket even though the drain hose is connected that came with the unit. Is there something like a" float" that I should know about? I have misplaced my instructions!" Appreciate a reply! Thank you.

[@ME-xl6ey]

Did you ever figure this out?

[@ladebs]

Sadly I had this one, and after a year it decided not to work anymore. It sounds like it's running, but after running for hours not a drop in the bucket and the humidity shows that it's super high 😞. Very disappointed that it didn't last.

[@TheInternetSorcerer]

Awww I am so sorry to hear that! I just read a comment from someone else about another dehumidifer(another brand), and the same thing happened to theirs. I had one "break" also, but it was another brand. Instead it just runs automatically and never shuts off, so I can still use it but I just have to plug it in and unplug it. Anyways sucks to hear about yours. These are expensive so when they break it hurts to buy another. They are also so useful so at the same time very nice to have. Good luck:)

[@WeaverOfNightmares]

I dont understand the pump is it the same is the hose??

I wish you would have figured out and explained the timer function. I have mine continuously draining and am frequently away from the property for a couple of weeks at a time.

Same thing here.

[@drgreenthumb2190]

If your using the little hose thats for the pump so make sure pump is on this is good if you need to drain water far or pumping up. The bigger hose runs of gravity so it's got to drain lower than the dehumidifier
