The Midea 20-Pint Cube brings the innovative design and reliable performance of its larger counterpart to more modestly sized spaces. Its most clever feature is the nesting design, where the compressor unit stores inside the bucket, reducing its storage footprint by roughly half—a major benefit for apartments or homes with limited closet space. It is rated to remove 20-22 pints per day, making it ideal for bedrooms, home offices, laundry rooms, or small basements up to approximately 1,500 square feet. In testing, it has proven effective at maintaining consistent, low humidity levels in these environments.
It operates quietly, inheriting the favorable acoustic profile of the Cube series. The unit includes a continuous drain option, a washable filter, and smart app connectivity (with the same noted bugs as the 50-pint model). While easier to move than full-sized units, manually emptying the bucket still requires lifting the 30-pound compressor unit and carrying a bucket that can weigh nearly 30 pounds when full. For those needing to dehumidify a defined, smaller area without sacrificing the quality and features of a premium brand, the Midea 20-Pint Cube is an outstanding compact solution.
