  • Unboxing And First Use Of Midea CUBE Smart Dehumidifier !!
    #mideaCube #bestDehumidifier #dehumidifier
    In this video I unbox and use the Midea CUBE Smart Dehumidifier. This dehumidifier looks a bit different than the usual off-the-shelf offerings and also functions in a slightly different way. It can hold 50 pints (~6.25 gallons) of water in it's tank or you can use the passive drain OR this particular unit includes a pump to pump the water where you need it to go.

    This is the most amazing dehumidifier I have ever bought. Completely changed the functionality of both my central AC systems. The AC company wanted $4000 per unit to install a dehumidifier in each system. This works for both!! I turn it on downstairs and it does the whole house. Worth every penny!!!!!

    Thanks for the video! I just bought one of these and wanted to see how it operated prior to arrival. I haven't got it yet but I can see that the air is lukewarm coming out of it. I plan to put it in my crawl space but I've noticed that it blows out fairly warm air, it's not hot, just lukewarm --not like lukehot but not Cool Hand Luke either. I was hoping to see some footage of the pump being used but I'll figure it out soon I'm sure, I just wanted to note that the air coming out of it isn't cool like one might expect but definitely feels warm, like it wouldn't heat your house in winter or start a fire but it is noticeably warm. Again, thanks for the review, just want to note that the air coming out of the dehumidifier is warm, like lukewarm with a hint of ghost pepper.

    Just got the 35 model yesterday. Had 2 Ge's that didn't last a few months each. So no more of those. I ran it last night and a huge difference already. I run pump mode and it wasnt loud at all. Bought for 99 and they had a 30 rebate so 70 bucks was a steal.

  • @maddoxinc1642
    @maddoxinc1642 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    All dehumidifiers are going to produce heat. The compression and evaporation cycles both happen inside of the dehumidifier and the hot side is usually after the cold side so you're going to feel heat coming out. This is basically a micro air conditioner with both the hot side and the cold side in one unit. Dehumidifiers are great for basements because they keep them not only dry but a steady temperature as well.

    Got mine today. At 2pm it was at 61%. 10 hours later its still at 61%. The bucket filled up to level 1, so it is pulling water.
    I have it set to 50% and on high.
    The thermostat reading is 10% higher than my nearby Amazon Air Quality monitor.
    I got 2 cubes, tried the other one and same thing.
    Not sure if the Midea is off of my Air Quality Monitor is off.
    I suspect its the Midea.
    What am I doing wrong that the cubes humidity didnt drop at all in 10 hours?

    bought mine 3 days ago. but it hasnt collected a single drop of water.
    it says i have 31% humidity level and it only goes down to 35% . so i put it on continuous mode and even with 24 hrs of it being on. not a single drop of water was collected.
    is it cus the humidity level is too low? but my previous humidifier would collect water even when it read 30% humidity before it crapped out on me.
    so is it designed to just not collect water under 35% humidity? or is my unit defective?

    • @GeneralExpert
      @GeneralExpert  2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      If you don't hear the compressor kicking on then there is no water collecting happening. Try listening to hear for the compressor to kick on. I'm not certain but I would imagine that if you're under the lowest humidity setting it won't kick on.

      I called customer service and they confirmed that it should collect water even at 30% relative humidity. I had it on continuous mode and i did hear the compressor kick on and off. So they asked that i do a "shower test" and place the unit in the bathroom with the hot shower running to test the sensor. ...and still no water.

    • @FShuriken
      @FShuriken 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      @@lahel2145 I guess it could be defective. But 30% relative humidity is really low for humans to live in. That's not really healthy. If the air is too dry it will start absorbing water from your body too. Like from your eyes and from your nose. Your eyes will get itchy and your nose will be too dry to protect you from viruses and bacteria so you will get sick more often. Wooden furniture will start getting dry too and will crack if it's too dry. It is recommended to have 40-60% relative humidity.

      @GeoT91 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      All dehumidifiers discharge hot air into the room. The mechanical working principle is that air is chilled, causing moisture in the air to condense and collect in the bucket, the heat is passed through a heat exchanger to rewarm the conditioned air and discharged. To put it simply, a dehumidifier is like an A/C that dumps heat back into the room instead of outside.

      So, in order to test, you want to fill up the bucket and then turn on the dehumidifier. It won’t start pumping right away either, but if you leave it on for a little while (under 30 mins), it should start pumping.

      You could do that and even control it from whereever you are and/or on a schedule. Really, the only concern would be the sink stopping up and no one there to monitor it.

    Personally I would not read reviews. I bought this exact model. It shipped from US to Hong Kong. It did not work from the first day, it would burst into random engine sounds, sounded like an aircraft crashing. No Midea support team would help me. I purchased it from Amazon. They would not pay for return shipping and would not send me a new one. I could not even register it for warranty. I was then passed onto Midea Global, Midea global passed me to Midea Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Midea said they did not deal with this model in Hong Kong, seems pretty unbelievable, they then referred me to Midea China (I think you get the picture about whats going on)
    I wanted to upload a review to the Amazon site and they deleted it. Then I tried to repost the video from unpacking and Amazon blocked my account from writing reviews. (Think you know where I’m going with that, they must only accept positive reviews.)
    Ended up being a total waste of time effort and money. No customer support. Nothing!
