Our Verdict
GE APYR50LC
Midea MAD50PS1AWT-C
The Midea MAD50PS1AWT-C is the better choice for most people over the GE APYR50LC, though the GE is worth considering if you need even higher airflow. The GE moves more air throughout a room, which can help circulate dry air more quickly in large or open spaces, but it also runs noticeably louder and produces more heat during operation. The Midea is quieter, stays a little cooler, and has a more compact design, all while still offering excellent overall dehumidification performance.
