Due to the voltage. This appliance works on 115v and has an American spec plug. You need to add to this purchase a power converter from 220v to 110v. That is an extra 200AED. Ultimately if an appliance is sold by Amazon US, don’t buy it. Lesson learned here.

Wrong voltage for Singapore market! Do not buy unless you plan to use a voltage converter!

I initially gave this a 3 star review since I thought the unit was failing (see original review below). However, I eventually figured out the drain line had become clogged with a biofilm and gunk buildup. After clearing the line, the unit works correctly. It seems that the tube wasn't able to keep up with the rate at which the unit produced condensate.Below is my original 3 star review so you can see how the issue manifested.I got this in July 2024 and it worked quite well until summer 2025. At that point the function that allows it to drain through a hose stopped working so suddenly you had to manually empty the tank every couple of days.

I couldn’t be happier with this purchase! I bought the Midea 4,500 sq. ft. dehumidifier (without the pump) because I live in an apartment, so I don’t need a pump. Costco had the same model with a pump for a little less before it sold out, but I needed one right away. If you have a basement, I’d definitely recommend getting the pump version if it’s available.I let the unit sit upright for 24 hours before turning it on, just to be safe (similar to what you do with a portable air conditioner). I started it on Turbo Mode, and I was amazed. Within just one hour, the humidity dropped by 20%, even while the temperature outside was rising. The apartment became noticeably more comfortable. Later in the afternoon, I switched it to Comfort Mode, which has done a great job maintaining a comfortable humidity level without making the air feel too dry.I also purchased a separate thermometer/hygrometer so I could monitor the humidity and temperature, and it confirmed just how well this unit performs.The noise level is much better than I expected. In Comfort Mode, it’s more of a gentle humming sound and is significantly quieter than my portable air conditioner.Overall, this dehumidifier has exceeded my expectations. It’s powerful, efficient, quiet, and has made a huge difference in the comfort of my apartment. At this rate, I might even be dehumidifying my neighbours’ apartments too! 😂 Highly recommended!Edit: I’m so glad I purchased this size unit. I can go 24+ hours before needing to empty the water tank, which is a huge convenience. I’ve owned smaller models in the past that needed to be emptied multiple times a day. Since I don’t use a pump or continuous drain, that quickly becomes annoying. This larger capacity has made a big difference.

This thing is a beast. I bought it to deal with humidity in my 2,300 sq. ft. basement, and it started pulling water out of the air almost immediately. Before I set it up, the humidity was sitting around 73%, and now it stays steady at 45% without the unit even working that hard.Setup was simple — plug it in, set your humidity level, and let it run. The WiFi feature is actually super convenient. The machine sends a notification to your phone when the water bin is full, which saves you from constantly checking it. I didn’t think I’d use the app much, but it’s turned out to be really handy.The tank is a good size, and I’m emptying it less often than expected. Noise‑wise, it’s quieter than other dehumidifiers I’ve owned. You can hear it running, but it’s just a steady fan sound — nothing annoying.What I like:Pulls moisture fast — noticeable difference right awayWiFi control + full‑tank notifications are genuinely usefulQuiet for a 50‑pint unitLarge tank, easy to emptyReusable filterHonestly, I can’t think of anything negative to say about it. If you’ve got a damp basement or a big space to dry out, this unit handles it without any fuss. Solid buy.

We got this for the summer months upstairs to cut down on some of the humidity levels in the house. The D (I'll call that for the dehumidifier so I don't have to spell out the word so much). The D is a pretty good quality. Let me start with the size. If you have a large basement I would recommend the ones with the pumps and hoses inside. This although it is quite large and efficient seems to work better in a smaller enviroment. We have a huge basement where I carry this downstairs buy the handles on the sides and I turn it on full blast down there. It cuts down on the humidity quite well. However, I am not really sure how effective it is for a large basement with no walls. It makes a lot of noise of course. It sounds similar to a wall air conditioner or a microwave. The casters are mint as I can roll this around the house on carpet with no problem at all. the auto shut off works real well. I forgot and left it running all night and went to check and it had shut off with the bucket being full and no leakage. I looked at reports on top D's and found that this ranked quite high. It is worth the money to get the largest that you can afford. Otherwise why get one at all? The bucket is easy to take out and has a carrying handle so I don't spill water when dumping. The temperature level is easy to set and leave with confidence. Its nice looking and seems built at a quality level. I should add I would never really purchase just because its another item to purchase but other household members felt and correctly so that the basement keeps in much better shape with the moisture level down in the 50s. So in the fall as now we don't need it upstairs and I leave it run downstairs and it starts at about 60 percent and then lowers to as low as 39 percent over time during the day. I get about one bucket as its usually shut off when somebody is down there because who wants to listen to the noise. However, with practical usage I feel and they definitely feel it keeps the moisture levels more correct in the basement which helps the furniture etc.My opinion is if you need something for a basement look for the pumps that have a hose. However, this is working well in the basement and it has some portability to it so with effort I can carry it upstairs to use very easily and much more efficiently in the living or dining room where drops in humidity occur quite quickly. Very happy I purchased at the price its stated and would recommend.
