Our Verdict
Midea MAD50PS1WS
Midea MAD50PS1AWT-C
The Midea MAD50PS1AWT-C is the better choice over the Midea MAD50PS1WS. Both models deliver nearly identical dehumidification performance, with similar moisture removal, efficiency, and feature sets. However, the Costco-exclusive MAD50PS1AWT-C has a more compact footprint and Midea's newer side-access bucket design, making it easier to position in tighter spaces and more convenient to empty, without sacrificing performance.
