Dramatically reduce unwanted moisture in your home with the best dehumidifiers from brands like Honeywell, Black + Decker and Frigidaire. via ForbesVetted
Honeywell’s TP70PWKN is a high-capacity dehumidifier that can accommodate large spaces up to 4,000 square feet by removing up to 70 pints of water from the air per day. If you’re new to dehumidifier shopping, don’t be confused by the two seemingly contradictory sets of numbers; this model is also routinely advertised as a 50-pint model, for example. The reason is a revised DOE testing system implemented in 2019 that reduced the estimated effectiveness of many models.
The hOmeLabs HME020006N Dehumidifier comes in a few sizes, from a compact 30-pint model all the way up to a 70-pint version that rivals the Honeywell 70 Pint Dehumidifier earlier in this list. We’re focusing on the 50-pint model because it’s a superb middleweight dehumidifier that can handle about 3,000 square foot spaces. It includes a removable 13-pint water tank, and can be set to run continuously until the tank is full, at which time it’ll shut down automatically.
Ivation offers three versions of this dehumidifier in sizes from 70 pints down to 30 pints—it’s the 30 pint model that we’re recommending for smaller spaces up to about 1,500 square feet. It has an easy-to-empty 10.4-pint water tank and a drain hose hookup, though no pump—so you’ll probably need to run the water to a floor drain.
Tosot designs its appliances with an eye towards style, and this model genuinely does not look like a dehumidifier—great if you need to put it in a room that gets foot traffic. There’s a simple set of controls on top for choosing the humidity level, timer and fan speed.If you don’t like the idea of going down to the basement just to check on your dehumidifier, you might be interested in the Frigidaire FGAC5044W1—one of the few smart dehumidifiers on the market.
