The catch
AEOCKY Rhea-001
Far hotter and wetter conditions sit behind the 80-pint headline than behind the 24.5-pint certified rating.
Side by side
Frigidaire 35 offers higher certified capacity, a better energy factor and Wi-Fi. For a smaller moisture load, Rhea is a narrower alternative with local controls.
Before you buy
About 46 percent, or 11.35 pints per day, is how far Frigidaire is ahead of Rhea.
Where this comes from
35.85 minus 24.5 equals 11.35, and dividing by 24.5 gives 46.3 percent. The 80-pint maximum for Rhea comes from a different test.
The catch
Far hotter and wetter conditions sit behind the 80-pint headline than behind the 24.5-pint certified rating.
The catch
It has no way to pump water uphill.

Rhea-001 and Frigidaire FHDD3534Y1 compared on certified moisture removal, energy factor and bucket size instead of the larger number in the product title.
Which one fits
Certified removal is about 46 percent higher on Frigidaire.
Width is listed at 8.66 inches for Rhea.
Wi-Fi comes with Frigidaire.
No pump on either one.
In practice
About 46 percent, or 11.35 pints per day, is how far Frigidaire is ahead of Rhea.
35.85 minus 24.5 equals 11.35, and dividing by 24.5 gives 46.3 percent. The 80-pint maximum for Rhea comes from a different test.
Per equal liter, Frigidaire uses about 7.5 percent less test energy.
1 minus 1.86 divided by 2.01 equals 7.5 percent. The comparison is of IEF and does not forecast a household bill.
Despite its larger tank, Frigidaire has the shorter rated-output fill estimate.
For Rhea: 1.45 times 8 divided by 24.5 times 24 equals 11.4 hours. For Frigidaire: 1.7 times 8 divided by 35.85 times 24 equals 9.1 hours. Both are illustrative upper-tank calculations.

Trade-offs
Change of plan
Neither model fits. Local controls and pump drainage come together in the Honeywell TPFIT50PWK.
Decision guide
Higher certified capacity, a better energy factor and Wi-Fi come with Frigidaire 35. Rhea is the narrower, local-control option for a smaller moisture load.
Even though its name carries the smaller headline number, Frigidaire has substantially higher certified capacity. When moisture load is why you are upgrading, go by the certified figures and the room conditions. Do not compare the maximum rating of Rhea directly with the 35-pint label of Frigidaire.
Rhea is listed at 8.66 inches wide and Frigidaire at 14.7 inches. The narrower width can help beside furniture, as long as the cabinet keeps its required air clearance. Squeezing a narrow appliance against a wall may stop it performing as intended.
At its rated output Frigidaire holds more water and also collects it faster. The simple tank-runtime examples show why capacity and bucket size have to be weighed together. If frequent emptying already bothers you, it is worth planning a gravity hose.
By the numbers
What we found across the dehumidifiers we compare, plus the checked facts behind each finding.
None of the 31 models checked meets all of “The space I'm drying is a medium room or finished basement”, “Since it will run often, efficiency counts”, “Floor space is limited”, and “I want to look at humidity on my phone”, so the pick goes to the closest practical compromise.
0 models fit, out of 31 checkedFrigidaire 35 Pint Wi-Fi Dehumidifier lists 35.9 pints/day for moisture removal under the current test, 46% more than the 24.5 pints/day on AEOCKY Rhea-001.
How we countedThe count uses each product's current fit ratings for “The space I'm drying is a medium room or finished basement”, “Since it will run often, efficiency counts”, “Floor space is limited”, and “I want to look at humidity on my phone”. A need with no documented match is not counted.
How we calculatedOnly figures stated as ENERGY STAR, Appendix X1 or official current-condition results count. When a current test figure exists, older hot-saturated labels are left out. For context, 9 of 31 models publish comparable figures.
