The consensus

What reviewers found

Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.

Across the reviewers we read, the Midea 1,500 sq. ft. 22-pint is the established mainstream pick for medium rooms and bedrooms.

What reviewers liked

  • Family Handyman (disclosed testing) praises efficiency, adjustable settings, and quiet-for-its-size operation
  • Large 7,000+ review base plus a four-year reliability report in r/homeowners
  • Roughly 47 dBA and wheeled portability make it well suited to bedrooms and living spaces

Where it falls short

  • r/Costco reviewers report a loud fan and an inaccurate humidity sensor on some units
  • Reports across r/Costco and YouTube of failures or pump issues after about a year
  • 22-pint capacity is modest; not the right tool for large or very wet basements

Across the reviews

Synthesis · not our verdict

Across the reviewers we read, the Midea 1,500 sq. ft. 22-pint is the established mainstream pick for medium rooms and bedrooms. Family Handyman, which discloses hands-on evaluation, highlights its energy efficiency, adjustable humidity settings, wheels, and notes it's "quiet, especially for its size," with the Amazon listing citing roughly 47 dBA operation. An r/homeowners owner reports four years of trouble-free use, and r/HomeImprovement discussion treats Midea as a generally reliable brand.

The disagreement worth surfacing comes from r/Costco, where reviewers relay complaints about a loud fan, a humidity sensor that doesn't read accurately, and units failing after about a year, plus a YouTube owner whose built-in pump (on a related Midea model) started acting up after two years. The verdict from the trust-weighted mix is a capable, quiet medium-room unit whose ceiling is reliability rather than performance.

Reviews were saying - The built in pump seems nice, fan is loud and humidity sensor doesnt work and unit not working after about a year.

I've had it for 3 months. Works great. Nice app. Easy to clean the filter. Clear instructions. Does generate a lot of hot air. I'd recommend it.
