Side by side

How we picked

This guide reviews 8 dehumidifier listings, every entry whose title prints a floor area of 1,501 to 3,000 square feet. The area figure is the seller's own, read from the listing title, never measured. The dehumidifiers are reviewed on stated details and live prices. Ordering follows the capacity group the title prints: 50 to 99 pints first, then under 50 pints, then titles that do not state a pint figure. Within each group, listings are ranked by the number of other details stated (area, type, pump, drain hose, room words, Energy Star mark, Wi-Fi; most first), then by pool order. The area figures are quoted as the seller's own titles state them.

How to choose

Floor area figures as the seller's own

Every listing in this guide prints a floor area in its title, from 1,800 sq ft to 3,000 sq ft. These figures are the seller's own: they are read from the title and grouped as 1,501 to 3,000 sq ft, and this guide never presents them as a measured coverage. When comparing, look at the exact figure each title states, since one title says 2,800 sq ft and another says 1,800 sq ft.

Pints per day: reading the figure in a title

Capacity is stated in pints per day on each title. In this pool, 2 AEOCKY listings print 50 to 99 pints, while 4 titles print figures under 50 pints and 2 state no pint figure at all. The U.S. Department of Energy and ENERGY STAR pages explain how capacity is stated and why the figures changed; this guide reads the figure the title prints and does not convert it.

Pump, drain hose or bucket

A drain hose is named in 4 of the 8 titles here: the AEOCKY Max 50 Pint (B0HF7SBZPN), the VEAGASO 36 Pint, the CLEVAST 25 Pint and the second AEOCKY Max 50 Pint (B0HF7WXPLD). None of the 8 titles in this guide states a pump. Water removal is otherwise handled by a bucket in most portable dehumidifiers, as the ENERGY STAR buying page describes.

LGR, compressor and desiccant as title words

Only 2 of the 8 titles here name a type. The AEOCKY Max 50 Pint (B0HF7SBZPN) states a compressor, and the AEOCKY 2000 Sq.Ft listing states a desiccant. Neither LGR nor any other type word appears in this pool. The type is a listing word only; this guide does not say one kind works better in a space.

Wi-Fi and the Energy Star mark as listing words

Two Honeywell titles in this pool name Wi-Fi and the Energy Star mark: the Honeywell 3,000 Sq. Ft. listing and the Honeywell Smart WiFi 30-Pint. The mark is a detail the title names; this guide does not claim certification, energy savings or lower bills.

What this review leaves out (and why)

The catalogue holds no data on measured moisture removal, noise, energy use, tank size, hose length, filter, weight or build quality, so this review never states them. For those topics, the maker's product pages and the official pages listed in SOURCE PAGES are the places to read. This review compares the 8 listings on stated details and live prices only.

Questions

Does this review cover moisture removal, noise, energy use or mold?

No. The catalogue used for this guide holds no data on measured moisture removal, noise, energy use, tank size, hose length or mold outcomes, so the review never states them. The maker's product pages and the official pages in SOURCE PAGES, including the EPA mold pages and the CDC mold page, are where to read about those topics. This review compares the 8 listings on stated details and live prices only.

Which listings in this guide state a drain hose?

4 of the 8 titles name a drain hose: the AEOCKY Max 50 Pint with Drain Hose (B0HF7SBZPN), the VEAGASO 36 Pint for Basement, the CLEVAST 25 Pint for Basement and the second AEOCKY Max 50 Pint (B0HF7WXPLD). None of the titles in this guide states a pump.

How are the pint figures in the titles read?

Each pint figure is read from the listing title as the seller's own number. In this pool, 2 titles print 50 to 99 pints, 4 titles print under 50 pints and 2 state no pint figure. The DOE and ENERGY STAR pages linked in SOURCE PAGES explain how capacity is stated and why the figures changed; this guide does not convert them.

Do any of the 8 listings state a pump?

No. None of the 8 titles in this guide names a pump. 4 titles name a drain hose. Buyers checking for a pump would not find one among these listings, and this guide notes pump as not stated where it is missing.

Which listings state Wi-Fi and the Energy Star mark?

2 Honeywell titles name both: the Honeywell 3,000 Sq. Ft. Energy Star listing and the Honeywell Smart WiFi 30-Pint. The mark is written as the title names it; this guide does not claim that a model is certified or saves energy.

Why is the floor area cited as the seller's own figure?

The floor area in each title is the seller's stated figure, read from the listing and grouped as 1,501 to 3,000 sq ft. The figures range from 1,800 sq ft to 3,000 sq ft across the 8 titles. This guide quotes each title's figure and never presents it as measured coverage of a space.
