Model-Specific Results
3 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 | Safe | ~4.1h | 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 | Safe | ~4.1h | 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 7200 W surge can handle typical compressor-based appliances like well pumps, refrigerators, and air conditioning startup events on 120V circuits. The 3600 W continuous rating supports sustained operation once inrush currents settle, making this unit a strong option for heavy 120V backup loads.
This unit uses LFP chemistry and draws from manufacturer documentation for its output specifications. The 7200 W surge rating reflects the inverter's transient capacity, not a thermal or safety certification.

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: ~3.3h. 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Goal Zero Yeti Pro 4000 power a Dehumidifier (70 Pint)?
Yes. The Goal Zero Yeti Pro 4000 provides 3600W running / 7200W surge. The Dehumidifier (70 Pint) needs 1075W / 4169W (including 25% buffer). That leaves 2525W of running headroom and 3031W of surge margin.
How long will the Yeti Pro 4000 run a Dehumidifier (70 Pint)?
Approximately 3.3 hours, based on the Dehumidifier (70 Pint)'s 860W draw and the Yeti Pro 4000's 3993.6Wh capacity (70% usable after real-world losses).
