Where it stands
This model is not on the EPA’s list of certified dehumidifiers (checked Oct 16, 2026). Figures on this page come from the company that filed it.
- Rated 35.27 pints a day in its filing with the Department of Energy.DOE class: portable, over 25 and up to 50 pints a day. DOE basic model MADA35R5AWT.
- Its efficiency, 1.80 liters per kWh, is 0.20 above the federal minimum for portables rated over 25 and up to 50 pints a day.That minimum is 1.60 L/kWh, for units made since June 13, 2019.
- That beats 127 of the 452 certified portable models.Their median is 2.01 L/kWh, from 1.70 to 2.24.
- Removing 100 pints costs $4.81 in the United States, against $4.31 at the median of those certified models.Same 2019 DOE test on both sides, so the figures compare directly.
- In the DOE database, this model number appears under the Midea name only.
- The EPA list has 49 certified Midea models, from the MAD20S1QWT to the MDUDT-50AEN8-BB0F, filed by GD Midea Air-Conditioning Equipment, which also files Pelonis.
Good to know
What “not on the EPA list” means
The model is missing from the EPA’s dataset on the date we checked. That says nothing about its safety or build quality. Its capacity and efficiency come from the filing with the Department of Energy. That filing uses the same 2019 test as the models on the list, so the cost to remove 100 pints compares directly. No yearly energy figure is published for it.

in the United States
A day of nonstop drying means 35.27 pints of water, about 4.4 gallons, for some 9.3 kWh. At the average home electricity price in the United States, the MADA35R5AWT costs $1.70 to run that day.
The DOE test behind those 35.27 pints runs at 65°F and 60% humidity. At the same humidity, a cooler basement gets less water out of the MADA35R5AWT.
Without a hose or a pump, someone has to carry out 4.4 gallons a day. Our sources don’t say whether the MADA35R5AWT has a bucket, or how much it holds.
