Our conclusion
Both handle a basement or large room and both work with an app and voice assistants. The Midea Cube is the better machine if you hate emptying buckets or want a quieter unit. The TCL H50D44W is the smarter buy on a budget, especially with a floor drain where the smaller bucket does not matter. Choose by how often you are willing to empty the tank.
