5.0 out of 5 starsSo far, so good. Solid contender in this price range.

Day 1 (20 pint model, no pump):
- unboxed in 3 minutes; 1 thin outer cardboard box, followed by 2 pieces of Styrofoam, pack-strapped to be nested dehumidifier within.
- installation of wheels: 15 seconds each - insert wheel, snap plastic piece in place to hold them, done.
- operating in under 10 minutes: including above steps, this was plugged in and operational super quick, no annoying packaging, extra ties etc. Everything neatly wrapped and secured, only needed scissors for the straps.
- smaller than anticipated; do read and measure, however the footprint of this is quite easily moved between locations, especially with the added wheels, both carpet and floor friendly.
- noise level; on High, this is quieter than my Honeywell HPA300C air purifier (also on High - Turbo is noisier than the Midea). On Low, the noise change isn't dramatic, but the fan speed is noticably slowed. Slight vibration noticed, resolved by minorly adjusting nested position. This *could work in a bedroom at night if you're down with white noise, not at all overwhelming, and no inconsistent pings. Noise level of beeps seems unavoidable but quiet nonetheless.
- WiFi; instant setup and connection on Android, connected to Alexa in a few minutes.
- overall appearance; objectionable, but I find it clean, crisp, and the top has a much more intentionally modern design than many other models in this price range.
- accessories; well built mini wheels, heavy duty bucket, everything feels solid. Hose included, English manual clear, more directions etc available on YouTube for visual guides.
I've placed this in a high moisture bathroom for now, will update based on volume, but day one has been free of disappointments, solid buy 👍
Edit - Day 3:
Filled the bucket over 24-30 hours, went from low 60's to low 40's, all on Low Speed.
This thing is near silent. Compressor noises are very minimal. I have this in my living area and it's exactly what I'd hoped.
Edit: 2 weeks in
Yep, it's great. Still whisper quiet, half a bucket to two thirds per day while running on low. Clears a (very) hot shower bathroom in about 15-20 mins, and drastically reduces laundry drying time.
