Which Midea Cube fits your water-removal route?

Midea Cube identities, suffixes and operating plans

These Midea Cube configurations share a nested storage idea but differ in rated capacity, drainage and model generation. First match the route for water; then compare the listed rating, dry weight and handling plan.

Choose by drain

MAD20S1QWT is a 20-pint/day model with no built-in pump. It can collect into the bucket or use the documented continuous gravity hose and bucketless gravity configuration. It is not suitable for a drain that sits above the unit.

MAD35S1QWT is the reviewed 35-pint/day no-pump model. Its 2024 manual also describes bucket, downhill gravity and bucketless gravity plans, but no uphill pump. Midea's page title says “Cube 20 pt.” while its body/model field and full specification identify MAD35S1QWT at 35 pints/day; verify the exact label instead of relying on the title.

MAD35S1QWT-A is a distinct suffix, not a cosmetic alias for the earlier MAD35S1QWT. The exact 2025 guide lists it, and ENERGY STAR’s U.S. record lists 35.82 pints/day, HFC-32 and no connected capability. Midea’s Canada page for the suffix calls it 50 pints and lists conflicting features, so do not carry its area, weight or app claims into a hard decision. Midea lists no built-in pump; the family manual supports a bucket or downhill gravity hose, but does not clearly give the bucketless setup for this suffix. See the MAD35S1QWT-A assessment.

MAD35S1WWT is a separate discontinued 35-pint smart-dehumidifier reference, not another Cube model. Midea’s exact page shows a taller cabinet, lists 41.66 lb and 11.53 × 15.94 × 24.29 inches, and says the product is no longer available. Its page does not establish pump, hose or bucketless drainage, so do not carry a route over from a similarly rated Cube. The distinct MAD35S1WWT reference is for owners and model identification only.

MAD35PS1QGR is a separate dark-gray 35-pint Cube with a built-in pump. Its English manual lists this exact model and gives a maximum 14-foot vertical pump height; pump use requires the bucket and cannot be combined with bucketless mode. The US product page lists 6.25 gallons and 45.2 pounds dry, then states the product is no longer available. Keep it for existing-owner or old-listing identification only, not as a new-buy recommendation; do not merge it with MAD35S1QWT or suffix-A variants.

MAD50S1QWT (without the suffix) is another exact US 50-pint/day, no-pump model. Its US page body and full specification identify 50 pints/day and no pump, while the page title says “Cube 20 pt.” and its coverage copy conflicts between 1,500 and 4,500 sq ft. A Cube family manual lists the exact no-suffix model and documents bucket, gravity and bucketless-gravity operation. Keep it separate from MAD50S1QWT-A: the suffix changes the identifier, but these sources do not establish a useful capacity or pump difference between the two no-pump 50-pint variants.

MAD50S1QWT-A is the no-pump 50-pint/day configuration. It has the same kinds of bucket and gravity routes, including bucketless gravity, but cannot lift condensate. It is a higher rated-capacity class, not an uphill-drain solution.

MAD50PS1QWT (without the final suffix) is a separate 50-pint/day Cube with a built-in pump. Its exact US page and the 2024 Cube manual list this model; the manual states up to 14 feet of vertical pump rise with the unit on its bucket. Bucketless gravity is documented as a different mode. Its product page has conflicting area text, so do not use the 1,500- or 4,500-square-foot copy as a room guarantee.

MAD50PS1QWT-B has its own US page and is also listed in the 2024 pump-family manual. The published page lists the same 50-pint/day class, 41.54-pound weight and dimensions as the no-suffix pump page, but Midea does not explain what the B suffix changes. Verify the full model rather than treating it as an upgrade or silently merging it with MAD50PS1QWT or the separate -A model.

MAD50PS1QWT-A is the 50-pint/day version with a built-in pump and a manual-stated maximum 14-foot vertical lift. The bucket must remain installed in pump mode. It cannot run the pump bucketless. If the outlet is lower, it can be used with gravity or the bucket instead; the presence of a pump does not force you to pump.

MAD50PE1QWT-S is a separate 50-pint SmartHome Cube listing with a PE1QWT-S model page and a manual whose cover lists the PE1QWT-S and -B variants. That manual supports bucket, lower gravity and bucketless-gravity use. The full-spec table on its exact page instead names MAD50PS1QWT-A, a different SKU; do not use the mismatched row to establish the PE1QWT-S pump, dry weight or dimensions. Its pump-lift and tight-handling fit remain unknown until Midea clarifies the row. See the MAD50PE1QWT-S review and 50-pint version comparison.

MAD50PS1QGR is a distinct 50-pint pump Cube whose exact Midea US page says it is no longer available. Its 2024 family manual lists the model and the same separate 14-foot pump route, but the page lists 42.44 pounds and says “White” while its linked gallery depicts a dark charcoal cabinet. Keep it as an owner/old-listing reference, not as a current selection. It is not the separate 35-pint reference MAD35PS1QGR.

MAD22S1CWWT: a 22-pint no-pump Cube with app instructions

The MAD22S1CWWT is a separately reviewed 22-pint Smart Access Cube. Its exact U.S. page’s title and marketing copy use pump wording, but the model-specific specification row says Built-in Pump: No, and the cover-listed manual marks pump instructions only for pump models. Treat it as bucket collection or lower-outlet gravity with its tank installed, not as a raised-drain option. The exact manual includes SmartHome setup; ENERGY STAR’s separate Connected Capable field says No, but that row does not define the field, so do not let it erase the actual app instructions or assume current cloud support. Its published dimensions, 30.86-lb dry weight and 22.27-pint Appendix X1 capacity remain distinct from the 22-pint page class. See the MAD22S1CWWT review and compare it with the MAD22S1AWWT Smart Access.

MAD50PS1BQGR: pump plus an ionizer, with a warranty document discrepancy

The exact U.S. page identifies MAD50PS1BQGR as a 50-pint Cube with a built-in pump and ionizer. Its own model-listed manual sets the pump’s vertical rise at up to 14 feet, requires the pump to sit on the fitted bucket, and describes bucketless gravity as a separate lower-drain setup. The ionizer is called Air Magic+ in the manual, but no independent air-cleaning test or clean-air delivery rate is established here.

Midea’s exact page and manual document SmartHome control. ENERGY STAR separately says “Connected Capable: No,” but does not define the field in this record; keep it distinct and check present-day app service. A genuine warranty-document conflict remains: the exact page says two years while the manual says one. The page-linked image shows only the white Cube exterior, not the pump or ionizer. Compare the MAD50PS1BQGR assessment rather than borrowing facts from another Cube suffix.

Then check handling and the actual room

MAD20S1QWT lists 33.07 pounds and 13.5 × 13.5 × 13.39 inches; MAD35S1QWT lists 39.62 pounds and 14.45 × 14.76 × 14.57 inches. Midea lists the 50-pint no-pump and pump Cube pages for MAD50S1QWT, MAD50S1QWT-A, MAD50PS1QWT, MAD50PS1QWT-A and MAD50PS1QWT-B at 41.54 pounds and 14.45 × 14.76 × 14.57 inches; the discontinued MAD50PS1QGR page lists 42.44 pounds. Check each exact label and page rather than borrowing those values across generations. These dry-product figures exclude water in the bucket.

Midea advertises coverage up to 1,500 sq ft for the 20-pint model and up to 4,500 sq ft for the 50-pint products. The MAD35S1QWT page gives 3,500 sq ft in its heading/specification and 1,500 sq ft in body copy; the no-pump 50-pint page also contains 1,500-sq-ft body text. Treat area figures as inconsistent marketing claims, not guaranteed room capacities. A rated pint-per-day figure does not promise output at a specific temperature or moisture load. Cube manuals give a 41–95°F working range.

Check suffixes, not just product photos

The MAD50S1QWT-A no-pump and MAD50PS1QWT-A pump pages link byte-identical exterior images, so the image cannot reveal their drainage hardware. Other exact-model pages link different Cube views, but none of these exteriors shows a pump; read the model label and manual. The MAD50S1QWT no-suffix page also has a conflicting model suffix in one specification row, and several Cube titles/area claims conflict with body text. Reviews: MAD20S1QWT, MAD35S1QWT, MAD35S1QWT-A, MAD50S1QWT, MAD50S1QWT-A, MAD50PS1QWT, MAD50PS1QWT-A and MAD50PS1QWT-B, and MAD50PE1QWT-S. The retired pump models are reviewed at MAD35PS1QGR and MAD50PS1QGR.

Quick choice

• Lower outlet and a 20-pint rating fits: inspect MAD20S1QWT.
• Lower outlet and a 35-pint rating fits: compare MAD35S1QWT with the distinct MAD35S1QWT-A; use the latter’s 35.82-pint ENERGY STAR figure and do not assume its disputed app, weight or bucketless claims.
• Lower outlet and higher rated capacity is essential: compare no-pump MAD50S1QWT and MAD50S1QWT-A; both support gravity/bucketless-gravity routes, not a raised drain.
• Higher outlet up to 14 feet: compare the separate MAD50PS1QWT, MAD50PS1QWT-A and MAD50PS1QWT-B identities and use the bucket in pump mode. The exact Midea page marks MAD35PS1QGR and MAD50PS1QGR as no longer available; both are owner references, not current picks.
• Vertical lift exceeds 14 feet, the room is below the safe temperature range, or the source is an active leak: these options are not established as a solution.
