The Midea MAD35PS1QGR is a satisfactory choice for use in bathrooms. While it's somewhat bulky in its fully extended configuration, you can remove the dehumidifier unit from the high-capacity water bucket and hook it up to its included hose to have it drain continuously—a configuration that saves quite a bit of space. It also has a drain pump, so you can drain it into a sink or bathtub without placing the unit on a table or stool.

The Midea MAD35PS1QGR is a good choice for use in large rooms. It provides decent dehumidification capacity and has a moderately high max airflow, but you'd be better off buying a more powerful unit with a higher capacity if you need to dehumidify a larger space in a hurry. It's a little noisy, so you might want to turn it off if you're trying to listen to music or watch TV. Fortunately, it has a large water tank that won't need emptying often. It's also impressively energy-efficient, so your power consumption won't increase too much if you run it often.

The Midea MAD35PS1QGR is alright for use in bedrooms. While it's nowhere near the loudest unit on the market, its operating noise can still be a little distracting, especially if you're a light sleeper. It also has a fairly high impact on the ambient temperature of a room, which isn't ideal for small rooms that are already warm.

The Midea MAD35PS1QGR does a mediocre job of maintaining a stable temperature while running. If left to run for an extended period, it won't have too much of an impact on the ambient temperature of a larger room, but smaller rooms can feel a little stuffy after a while.

Compared To Other Dehumidifiers
The Midea MAD35PS1QGR is a Wi-Fi-enabled dehumidifier with a collapsible design and a drain pump. It's effectively the same size as the Midea MAD50PS1QWT, which boasts a higher 50-pint capacity. While the latter would be the better option if you need to pull moisture from an especially large room, the MAD35PS1QGR operates a little more quietly and generates less heat.
Test Results
This dehumidifier has decent airflow performance. Its max airflow is respectable and will be enough to generate a fair amount of air movement in medium-sized spaces, though it still isn't as high as some alternatives that are better suited to bigger rooms. Its slow fan speed setting produces a fairly low minimum airflow, which can help keep the device's evaporator coils cool in cooler, humid rooms.
