The dehumidifier to get for a bedroom with no floor drain
Top pick
Midea Cube 20 Pint
The Midea Cube 20 is the place to start if a 20-pint-class unit suits the room and you want control over bucket weight. Its lowest selected fill level is listed at about 17 pounds, compared with 29.5 pounds at its highest. The Frigidaire FHDD2234W1 is the pick for a shallower conventional cabinet, and the Dreo 733S for energy tracking. None of them is a good bucket-only choice if you cannot safely manage the collected water.
Why it suits this job
- Weight of the filled water that you can manage
- Path between the bedroom and where you empty it
- The catch
- Carrying the nested Cube with water in the reservoir is awkward.
- Go with Frigidaire 22 Pint Wi-Fi Dehumidifier if
- With an 11.1-inch-deep cabinet you keep a better walkway, and a conventional front bucket suits you.
More reasons we picked it
- Removal capacity, compared on equal terms
- Space for the cabinet and bucket access

Decision guide
How to choose for this job
Size the extraction to the room first. Then make sure the person emptying it can manage the container when it is really full.
Settle the bucket setting before you count trips
Midea lists the Cube 20 at approximately 17 pounds filled at level 1 and 29.5 pounds at level 4, so what you carry differs by 12.5 pounds. The lower setting means more trips, yet it can be the better everyday choice if the bathroom is across the apartment. For some buyers even 17 pounds may be too much.
Depth helps keep the walkway clear
At 13.39 inches deep the Cube is deeper than the Frigidaire FHDD2234W1, which is 11.1. That 2.29-inch reduction can help beside a dresser or bed. Leave extra ventilation space, and enough room to take out the bucket without tilting a full container over furniture.
A different test's 73 should not be set against 20 pints
Different conditions sit behind the Dreo 733S promotional capacity than behind the familiar 20- and 22-pint classes. Its exact DR-HDH003S ENERGY STAR Appendix X1 record lists 22.09 pints/day, so it is an option with capacity near the Cube’s and not a bedroom extractor that is several times more powerful.
Schedule around sleeping hours
When daytime sleep matters, run the unit before that period and check whether humidity stays under control during the break. An app can support the routine but cannot guarantee the room stays dry. No matched sound test shows which of these machines is quieter at removing the same amount of water.
What this page can’t tell you
- The water extracted in use varies with temperature, humidity and the moisture source.
- This recommendation addresses buying and handling constraints. It offers no guidance on treating a health condition.
