Best dehumidifiers for the way you use them

Sitting in the middle of the range, this Cube pairs solid daily capacity with a large adjustable reservoir and connected controls.

Best forMedium rooms where cutting down on bucket trips beats having a slim cabinet

Between its pump and its large bucket, this high-capacity smart Cube handles almost any basement drainage setup.

Best forWet basements where the drain may need to go either uphill or by gravity

Dropping the pump, this 50-pint Cube still has the big reservoir and smart controls and costs less.

Best forLarge basements that have a floor drain close by

An uncomplicated small-room dehumidifier in a familiar upright form, with Wi-Fi and a washable filter.

Best forBedrooms, offices and other small finished spaces where you want to check in remotely

This current 35-pint unit is quiet and efficient, offers three fan speeds and has app control that is useful.

Best forMedium rooms where low noise and verified efficiency are equally important

Strong airflow, a 2.7-gallon tank and current efficiency data come in a polished package for large rooms.

Best forLarge basements that have a floor drain, and buyers who want quiet, efficient control

This sensible mid-capacity unit includes a hose, runs quietly and has a useful laundry mode.

Best forFinished basements and laundry rooms, as long as simple local controls do the job

Built for large rooms, it comes with a 15-foot pump hose, a roomy bucket and a dedicated laundry mode.

Best forLarge basements where the condensate has to travel to a sink or window

This conventional 50-pint portable sits in a narrow rolling cabinet and can drain by pump or by gravity.

Best forBuyers who want pump drainage but have no need for connected features

It is the same practical 50-pint upright design, minus the pump hardware and the premium price.

Best forLarge rooms where a low floor drain is already in place

This smart dehumidifier dries quickly, is packed with features and has a two-gallon tank and strong airflow.

Best forLarge living areas that call for fast drying and a capable app

A generous seven-liter tank and tuning for quieter medium-room use define this newer compact smart model.

Best forMedium rooms when you care about app control, low noise and tank size together

Light and compact, with quiet low-speed operation and a modest heat rise that suit rooms people occupy.

Best forBedrooms, offices and small basements, wherever noise is a concern

Its efficiency certification is current and practical, and the rolling model adds a large tank and three fan speeds.

Best forLarge rooms that call for gravity drainage, simple controls and strong mobility

On low speed this high-capacity home unit is unusually quiet, and it also brings a large bucket and cold-room safeguards.

Best forBig, wet basements where gravity drainage is possible

This compact horizontal machine is made for crawl spaces and offers app monitoring, gravity drainage and strong cold-room credentials.

Best forSealed crawl spaces and low basements where a dependable drain sits below the unit

Very damp areas with long gravity-drained runs are the target for this rugged 265-CFM crawl-space unit.

Best forContinuous, demanding duty in large crawl spaces and storage areas

Awkward condensate routes are handled by the built-in pump on this 70-pint AHAM crawl-space platform.

Best forLarge crawl spaces that need the water lifted out

Duct collars, a washable MERV 8 filter and no bucket define this purpose-built 70-pint unit for whole-home and crawl-space use.

Best forPermanent setups, whether whole-home or in a sealed crawl space

A compressor dehumidifier in a narrow upright cabinet, with local controls, gravity drainage and a 24.5-pint certified rating.

Best forModerate moisture loads, provided local controls and a hose drain meet your needs

Local controls, a 1.45-gallon bucket and continuous gravity drainage come with this dehumidifier's 32-pint certified rating.

Best forNarrow spaces with a downhill drain and a moderate moisture load

This 25-pint room model has simple local controls and a fairly narrow body. Its 8.5-pint bucket holds less water than the unit's daily removal rating, so if you want to skip hauling water, plan on a gravity drain.

Best forA damp room that has a suitable floor drain and open space around the unit

This 35-pint model stays in the same cabinet size as the 25-pint GE. Extraction capacity goes up while the bucket stays the same, so the drain route counts for more than the bigger number on the box.

Best forA wetter room with space for the narrow GE cabinet and a gravity drain available

An internal pump lets this 50-pint GE send water to a suitable elevated drain, which can end the routine of carrying the bucket. The bucket, filter and pump system still need your attention, though.

Best forA damp basement where a sink or drain sits above the appliance and the hose route has been verified

This connected 50-pint GE lets you check and adjust a room from afar. Wi-Fi does nothing to empty the 15-pint bucket, so leaving it unattended still takes a suitable gravity drain or a pumping system you plan separately.

Best forA connected basement setup that has a reliable gravity drain and enough room to reach the filter

Meant to be installed in a crawlspace, a basement or a properly designed duct system, this is an 80-pint unit. It has a washable filter and drains by gravity, and uphill drainage requires a separate pump.

Best forAn installation that drains by gravity, has manageable duct resistance and leaves room for service access

This 100-pint installation unit shares the E080 cabinet dimensions. The stronger published fan curve is worth having when a qualified installer confirms the connected ductwork calls for it.

Best forA duct installation with a higher load or more restriction, where the same E-series cabinet space is available

For a dedicated crawlspace or basement, the current 4044110 A2L Compact70 offers a short, low cabinet. Whether an awkward installation really works depends on the drain trap, airflow and service space, and none of those are counted in the body dimensions.

Best forA dedicated low-access space that has a suitable trapped gravity drain and room to change the filter

In the current 4044100 A2L Ultra70, documented HVAC integration comes in a low cabinet. The drain-trap arrangement and replaceable filter need room beyond that 12-inch body height.

Best forA ducted system designed by an installer, where a low cabinet and eight-inch connections are important

This ductable crawlspace unit has an internal condensate pump, which can make a route that cannot drain by gravity easier to handle. In a hard-to-reach space, though, its weight, pump cleaning and access requirements count.

Best forA crawlspace that depends on a pump and has the height and access for ongoing service
