Something isn't adding up with your claim of the Aeocky being the most efficient. Based on your graphs, the Waykar has an efficiency of 1.65 litres/kWH, which is better than the 1.33 litres/kWH of the Aeocky
I just checked our data and I have discovered that the graph shared has a typo for the Waykar as it should be 1.009 litres removed over 3 hours leading 8.07 litres over 24 hours. Which when accounting for energy gives us 1.15 litres/kWH.
I am still working on the review for the Waykar model and it did do well from a water removal efficiency but I found that my unit had a very strong sound when the compressor came online. I will make sure to include a video with the sound of this in our review as this did put me off from recommend this model.
I will get this graph updated today and also include some more units we have been testing.
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback and I am very impressed by your attention to detail. If you see anything else that doesn't seem right then please share as this helps us keep improving the site for everyone.
I have a couple of bigger units arriving in June for testing. We did test the Aoecky Boreas and it has done well with water extraction/sound and noise levels. Will be working on a review for this in the next few months but seems like a good alternative to the small Midea cube model.
If you do get, be sure to come back to share your experience as this will be super helpful for me when creating the final review.
Well update Media cube worked great for about four hours. Shut it off for the night and this morning won't turn on getting an error code E6. Plus when you lift the top out to dump water better have a towel to set it on. It is full of water. Needless to say it is going back. Going to try the Aeocky. Also no mention on Amazon what it weighs. Over 40lbs. Super heavy.
Sorry to hear that! The Midea can be a pain when using the water bucket as it is much bigger so can get very heavy. I look forward to hearing what you experience with the Aeocky Boreas.
So far so good. Downside is it doesn't hold a ton of water but it is much easier to dump. I water my outdoor flowers with the water. Question, does a dehumidifier only work to get the humidity out of the room it is in or does it help with the other areas too?
Yes the bucket is a little small on the Boreas model, but I'm glad it's working for you and your flowers are benefiting from extra water. In my experience, a dehumidifier can help to reduce humidity throughout the whole house. I have my Midea Cube in my basement and find that reducing humidity down there also helps reduce it across the rest of the home.
Im about to create a drying cupboard in an extension currently being built. Any suggestions for a dehumidifier for in the cupboard. I had seen a slim unit a few years ago mounted at top of the wall. Thought this would be perfect, but now im ready to get one cant find it.
A small model could be good, the AEOCKY BOREAS 001 did well in our tests and was quiet with a fairly small chassis. Would depend on the size of the cupboard.
Did you do any testing for larger models? I just purchased a moiswell 305pint model because im running two 50pint that are just running nonstop to maintain 50% humidity. You say its not worth it to oversize but my two ge 50pints are filling up in a matttwr of hours but never really are able to stop. They definitely do reach and maintain 50% but it takes 2 of them and go forever
Really depends on the situation and I can see where situations that need higher water removal. We plan to test a uni that states its a 140 pint model and can look into higher capacity models for 2027.
our old dehumidiifier doesn't seem to be doing anything any more. the lights go on, but i never hear it kick on, and no water is collected. our basement is damp, and i'm looking at new ones. i see that COSTCO near us has this Midea one, and I am wondering if it is similar enough to the oned you reveiwed, for your comments, etc to apply. Midea Smart 50-Pint Dehumidifier with Built-in Pump - Item 2769129 | Model MAD50PS1BWT-C
Yes this is part of the same series although this is the 50 pint model so a little bigger but also means it can remove more water. Sounds like a good choice if the price is good.
Wasted enough money on those funny name dehumidifiers. Already spent $hundreds on basement dehumidier that is doing the job. NOW just looking for a small dehumidifier for the small vent-less bathroom that WORKS. Any recommendation? No large unit....no space.
A good small model we have tested recently is the Aeocky Boreas 001 which measures: 13.19"D x 17.99"W x 8.66"H let me know if you need smaller than this.
The ivation model I included in this list is pretty small.
Another one that I found to be good in testing is the Aeocky Boreas (has 25L daily capacity) but is much smaller than many other models with this level of air cleaning performance.
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.
