That’s a good point and it’s really is very heavy at full. I’m currently using it with the gravity drain hose to an outside drain which means no changing at all. As the Midea is higher when on top the box vs a standard design style. I'm glad the Frigidaire is working well for you I did like the one we reviewed. nnThanks for sharing your feedback!

I bought the Midea based on raves from several sources and returned it almost immediately. Just lifting the top cube off the bucket took way more strength than I have and I am 5'10" and 150 pounds. Yes, you can moderate the amount of water that accumulates in the bucket, but the whole point of the dehumidifier is to maximize the process and minimize the frequency of emptying the bucket, especially if you live, like I do, in a humid area like Miami. I went back to my original dehumidifier-- the Frigidaire.

Just wanted to let you guys know there's a error/left out word in the second paragraph of the Midea Cube.nnAlso, I'm unsure if this is an error, but the second negative point for the Frigidaire FGAC5044W1 doesn't seem like a negative, just a statement, and is also repeated right below the pros and cons list.nnI know a good copy editor if you're looking! I love what you're doing and I appreciate the months of work you put into these reviews.
