Midea Cube 20 Pint
Model MAD20S1QWT
SCORE7.0 / 10
A single-room Cube certified at 20.16 pints, lighter at 33.07 lb. It uses about 18% more electricity per pint than the 35 and 50, so two of these are a worse way to dry a basement than one Cube 50.

Before you buy
- Check the built-in humidity reading against a separate hygrometer in week one; a stuck-near-30% or ~20-points-low reading on a new unit is a known return-window fault.
- The original Cube generation (MAD20C1ZWS and siblings) isn't in the current ENERGY STAR data; confirm the listing says MAD20S1QWT.
