| Our score | SCORE7.1 / 10 | SCORE5.5 / 10 |
| Our take | The E070 with Wi-Fi and app control, and the version we'd buy: the Amazon bundle adds the condensate pump and hanging kit a bare E070 leaves you to source. Keep it to sealed spaces that stay above the mid-50s. | A familiar 50-pint box whose 50 is an old 80°F number, so size it as a 30-pint-class machine for a moderately damp basement. The Midea Cube 50 usually costs less and removes more water at the current test. |

| Watch out for | AprilAire publishes only the legacy 80°F rating; there's no 65°F or 73°F figure and the E070 isn't on ENERGY STAR's list, so don't line its 70 up against current-test ratings. The warranty is void if defects result from not installing per AprilAire's instructions, and AprilAire recommends a professional install; labor is never covered. The 6-year warranty is the shop page's wording; the Amazon listing's warranty field says 5 years and we found no printed E070W warranty. Keep a copy of the shop page with your receipt. | The 50 pints is the old 80°F test; ENERGY STAR's rough table puts an old-test 50 near 30 pints on today's 65°F test. hOmeLabs calls it ENERGY STAR rated, but we couldn't find either 50-pint model in ENERGY STAR's certified data. The MAX 120 pint figure in the Amazon title is measured at 95°F and 90% RH, above the unit's own 90°F operating limit. Owner failure reports name an earlier 4,500 sq ft generation (HME020031N) that shared this Amazon listing; they may not describe today's unit. |
