Our Verdict

Midea MAD35S1QWT

GE ADHL35LA

The Midea MAD35S1QWT is the more versatile 35-pint dehumidifier compared to the GE ADHL35LA. While the GE has a smaller, more condensed footprint, it sticks to a fixed design. The Midea, on the other hand, can collapse down for storage, and when using continuous drainage, you can remove the water bucket to reduce its size. It also runs quieter and doesn’t put out as much heat, which makes it easier to live with in smaller spaces. In terms of performance, both units handle humidity at a similar level and rely on gravity for drainage, so there isn’t much separating them there.
