Who makes the Midea MDUDP-50AEN8-BA9B?

Midea files it under its own basic model number, MDUDP-50AEN8-BA9B. 2 other brands sell the same unit under their own names, filed with DOE under that Midea number.

13 dehumidifier basic models on DOE's list start with a Midea prefix, and 10 of them carry the Midea brand name itself.

How much does the Midea MDUDP-50AEN8-BA9B cost to run?

About $2.25 a day, or $67.38 for 30 days, running nonstop at DOE's test conditions (less on days it cycles off at its humidity setting).

49.66 pints/day is 23.5 liters. At an IEF of 1.9 L/kWh that takes 12.37 kWh a day running nonstop at DOE's test conditions. Electricity at 18.16¢/kWh, the US residential average for August 2026 (EIA Electric Power Monthly, table 5.6.A). Each 1¢/kWh you pay above or below 18.16¢ moves the daily figure by 12¢.

How does the Midea MDUDP-50AEN8-BA9B rank in its DOE class?

In its DOE class (portable dehumidifiers, 25 to 50 pints/day), 73 models have a matched Amazon listing. Its IEF of 1.9 L/kWh is tied for 52nd of the 73, and 5% below their median of 2.01. On cost, removing the same 49.66 pints a day at their median IEF would cost $63.69 for 30 days running nonstop, $3.69 less than this one.

DOE's minimum for this class is an IEF of 1.60 L/kWh for units made since June 13, 2019. At 1.9, this one files 19% above that floor. 3 of the 296 in the class file exactly the minimum. Source: 10 CFR 430.32(v)(2).

Questions

How many pints a day does the Midea MDUDP-50AEN8-BA9B really remove?

49.66 pints/day, as certified to DOE under the 2019 test (65°F, 60% humidity). The older test ran at 80°F, so a rating from it reads higher for the same unit: the 2019 test explained.

How much does the Midea MDUDP-50AEN8-BA9B cost to run for 24 hours?

About $2.25 for 24 hours nonstop at DOE's test conditions: 12.37 kWh at 18.16¢/kWh, the US residential average for August 2026 (EIA).

Is the Midea MDUDP-50AEN8-BA9B the same as the hOmeLabs HME021003N?

Yes, by DOE's records. hOmeLabs files HME021003N, HME021004N and HME1003 under the same basic model, MDUDP-50AEN8-BA9B, with the same 49.66 pints/day. 1 other brand files it too.
