Side by side

How we picked

This guide covers 6 dehumidifiers from the pool, all with listings whose titles say Wi-Fi or app (Wi-Fi or app: yes). The dehumidifiers are compared on the details stated in each listing title: capacity group, area group, type, pump, drain hose, whole house, commercial, basement, crawl space, small room, Energy Star, and Wi-Fi or app. The ordering rule ranks picks first by whether the title states a capacity (a stated pints per day figure first, then not stated), then by the number of other details the title states (most first), then by the order in the pool file. Live prices are printed on the page with their clock time.

How to choose

Pints per day: what the title figure is

Each listing title prints a capacity in pints per day, grouped here as under 50, 50 to 99, 100 to 149, or 150 or more. That figure is the seller's own label, and it depends on the measuring standard the maker uses. The U.S. Department of Energy changed the measurement procedure, so a unit can carry different pint figures depending on when it was rated. This guide does not convert or compare figures across standards; read the maker's page for the standard behind the number.

Pump, drain hose or neither named

Some titles say a pump comes with the unit, and some name a drain hose or continuous drain. A pump can move collected water upward, and a drain hose can carry water to a drain, but this guide never gives a lift height or hose length. When a title names neither, that detail is not stated by the seller. Follow the maker's manual for installation and drainage.

Basement, crawl space or small room in the title

A title may name a basement, a crawl space, a small room, a whole house, or a commercial setting. These are the seller's own words for the rooms the unit is aimed at. This guide quotes them as room names, not as promises that the unit suits that space. A title that is silent on a room is simply not stated by the seller.

Area figures as the seller's own

When a title prints a floor area in square feet, this guide groups it as up to 1,500, 1,501 to 3,000, 3,001 to 5,000, or over 5,000 sq ft. That figure is the seller's own and is written only as 'the title states.' It is never a promise of coverage. If a title has no area figure, that detail is not stated by the seller.

Energy Star and Wi-Fi as title words

An Energy Star listing is one whose title says Energy Star; this guide never claims it uses less power. The ENERGY STAR dehumidifier page explains what the label means. Similarly, a Wi-Fi or app listing is one whose title says Wi-Fi or app; this guide never describes app features beyond those words. Check the maker's page for what the app does.

What this guide leaves out (and why)

The catalogue holds no measured moisture removal, noise level, energy use, power draw, bucket or tank size, hose length, operating temperature, humidity range, filter type, or weight. This guide does not guess these. For those details, read the maker's page and the official pages in the sources, such as the EPA mold pages and the ENERGY STAR dehumidifier page.

Questions

What does 'smart' mean in this guide?

In this guide, 'smart' means the listing title says Wi-Fi or app (Wi-Fi or app: yes). The guide does not describe app features beyond those words. For what the app can do, such as scheduling or remote monitoring, read the maker's page. The title is the only source of details here.

Does this guide cover noise, energy use, mold or health?

No. The catalogue has no data for noise, energy use, mold prevention, or health effects, so this guide does not cover them. For mold and moisture, see the EPA mold pages and the CDC mold page in the sources. For energy use, see the ENERGY STAR dehumidifier page. The maker's page is where to read about a specific unit's features.

How are the picks ranked?

Picks are ranked first by whether the title states a capacity (a stated pints per day figure first, then not stated), then by the number of other details the title states (area, type, pump, drain hose, whole house, commercial, basement, crawl space, small room, Energy Star, Wi-Fi or app; most first), then by the order in the pool file. Price is not a ranking factor.

What does 'not stated by the seller' mean?

It means the listing title does not mention that detail. For example, if a title does not name a pump or a drain hose, this guide writes 'not stated by the seller' rather than guessing. The guide never assumes a detail that the title does not print.

Can you compare pint figures across different units?

The pint figure is the seller's label, and it depends on the measuring standard the maker uses. The U.S. Department of Energy changed the measurement procedure, so a unit can carry different pint figures. This guide does not convert or compare figures across standards. Read the maker's page for the standard behind the number.

Why is there no price in the text?

Prices change, so the page prints each live price with its clock time. The text never states a dollar amount or compares prices, because that information goes stale. The live price is shown next to each pick on the page.
