Model-Specific Results
1 of 3 models are SAFE or TIGHT. Most demanding model: Midea EasyDry MDP70SR71 (70 Pint) (3,335W surge).
| Model | Running | Surge | Verdict | Runtime | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Midea EasyDry MDP70SR71 (70 Pint) | 690W | 3,335W | Soft Start | ~1.2h | OEM Manual |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Voltage:** 120V AC required. **Running load:** 690W. **Surge:** 3335W at startup (compressor-driven). Only power stations with inverter surge capacity ≥3335W and continuous output ≥690W are candidates. Field note: Verify the power station's surge window duration. Short-duration surge ratings may not accommodate refrigerant compressor startup transients reliably. Can I run this dehumidifier on a portable power station overnight? Only if your power source can supply at least 690W continuous and 3335W surge at 120V. It depends on the station's surge capacity and battery size. | |||||
| Midea EasyDry MDP70PR71 with Pump (70 Pint) | 690W | 3,335W | Soft Start | ~1.2h | OEM Manual |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 690 W. **Surge demand:** 3,335 W at compressor start. Requires 120V AC output. Power station must deliver the full surge envelope without tripping overcurrent protection. Field note: Ensure your power station's inverter can handle the 3,335 W surge without shutdown. Verify outlet capacity exceeds continuous draw. Can I run this dehumidifier on a portable power station? Only if your power source can supply at least 690W continuous and 3335W surge at 120V. Most portable units cannot meet the surge requirement. | |||||

Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 860W. **Surge:** 2580W at startup. Requires 120V AC output. Power station must sustain 860W continuous and handle 2580W compressor inrush without tripping. Field note: Size the power station to at least 125% of running load (1075W minimum output) to avoid nuisance shutdowns during concurrent household draw. Can I run this dehumidifier overnight on a portable power station? Only if your power source can supply at least 860W continuous and 2580W surge at 120V. Most portable units lack sufficient capacity for full-day basement moisture control. | |||||

⚠️
Before You Buy: Connection Check
Installation warning
These systems are often hardwired to a home panel. To run them from a portable station, you may need a transfer switch installed by an electrician. You cannot just plug it in.

Generator Insights
The 2700W surge window can handle typical compressor startup on refrigerators, freezers, and sump pumps where inrush current briefly exceeds running draw. The 1152Wh capacity supports extended runtime for lower-wattage essentials. This configuration can support residential backup scenarios where brief peak demand is predictable and within spec.
This unit uses LFP chemistry and provides manufacturer-rated surge capacity for inductive startup events. Always verify that your specific appliance falls within the rated limits before connection. Source: BLUETTI AC180 User Manual (manufacturer documentation).

Technical Analysis
Spec-Based • No GuaranteesTechnical Breakdown
Running load: 860 W continuous. Surge demand: 3335 W at compressor startup. Voltage: 120 V AC required. Power station must handle the surge margin and sustain the load for the intended duration.
Expected Behavior
Estimated runtime: ~0.9h. Operates 24 hours per day drawing approximately 20640 Wh daily. Compressor cycles cause brief high-current transients during startup then settles to steady draw.
Field Note
Verify the power station inverter rating exceeds 3335 W surge capacity. Undersized units will trip during compressor kick-in.
