The Midea MAD35PS1QGR is a satisfactory choice for use in bathrooms. While it's somewhat bulky in its fully extended configuration, you can remove the dehumidifier unit from the high-capacity water bucket and hook it up to its included hose to have it drain continuously—a configuration that saves quite a bit of space.

The Midea MAD35PS1QGR is a good choice for use in large rooms. It provides decent dehumidification capacity and has a moderately high max airflow, but you'd be better off buying a more powerful unit with a higher capacity if you need to dehumidify a larger space in a hurry. It's a little noisy, so you might want to turn it off if you're trying to listen to music or watch TV. Fortunately, it has a large water tank that won't need emptying often. It's also impressively energy-efficient, so your power consumption won't increase too much if you run it often.

While it's nowhere near the loudest unit on the market, its operating noise can still be a little distracting, especially if you're a light sleeper. It also has a fairly high impact on the ambient temperature of a room, which isn't ideal for small rooms that are already warm.

Popular Dehumidifier Comparisons
The Midea MAD35PS1QGR is a Wi-Fi-enabled dehumidifier with a collapsible design and a drain pump. It's effectively the same size as the Midea MAD50PS1QWT, which boasts a higher 50-pint capacity. While the latter would be the better option if you need to pull moisture from an especially large room, the MAD35PS1QGR operates a little more quietly and generates less heat.
Test Results
This dehumidifier has decent airflow performance. Its max airflow is respectable and will be enough to generate a fair amount of air movement in medium-sized spaces, though it still isn't as high as some alternatives that are better suited to bigger rooms. Its slow fan speed setting produces a fairly low minimum airflow, which can help keep the device's evaporator coils cool in cooler, humid rooms.
