Our Verdict
Midea MAD50PS1AWT-C
LG PuriCare Sonoran
The LG PuriCare Sonoran is a slightly more versatile dehumidifier than the Midea MAD50PS1AWT-C. The LG has a fractionally higher dehumidification capacity, runs considerably quieter, and has a considerably wider range of airflow, allowing it to better adapt to a range of room sizes and temperatures. That said, the Midea is far more compact, features an integrated drain pump, and produces slightly less heat while running for sustained periods.
