EIA U.S. residential average: 18.31¢/kWh · July 2026 (released September 24, 2026). Your tariff and usage will differ.

ENERGY STAR annual energy uses 1,095 active hours (3 hours/day) plus low-power energy. We scale the whole annual figure by hours ÷ 3: an approximation because standby energy does not scale with active hours. Five-year cost = dated purchase price + annual estimated power × 5; no inflation or repairs.

Where Midea’s own data disagrees

These unresolved details remain visible rather than filled with guesses.

  • Manufacturer research: No manufacturer noise figure, pump hose length, humidity setpoint range, watts, amps or refrigerant found for MAD50PS1QWT-A.
  • Manufacturer research: Pump lift, op temp, fan and fill figures come from the non-A Cube manual. Midea's own manual cover also lists MAD50PS1QWT-B and -S, but no -A.
  • noise_db: not published in any source checked (left null).
