AEOCKY Rhea-001 vs Frigidaire 35 Wi-Fi: Rhea needs less cabinet width, Frigidaire adds certified removal

Quick verdict

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

Why, and what it costs you

Certified capacity is higher on the 35-pint product

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

AEOCKY Rhea-001

Far hotter and wetter conditions sit behind the 80-pint headline than behind the 24.5-pint certified rating.

The catch

Frigidaire 35 Pint Wi-Fi Dehumidifier

It has no way to pump water uphill.

In practice

Differences you will notice

Certified capacity is higher on the 35-pint product

About 46 percent, or 11.35 pints per day, is how far Frigidaire is ahead of Rhea.

How we worked this out

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 better energy factor goes with the higher capacity too

Per equal liter, Frigidaire uses about 7.5 percent less test energy.

How we worked this out

1 minus 1.86 divided by 2.01 equals 7.5 percent. The comparison is of IEF and does not forecast a household bill.

Longer runtime at full output does not follow from a bigger bucket

Despite its larger tank, Frigidaire has the shorter rated-output fill estimate.

How we worked this out

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

What each pick costs you

With AEOCKY Rhea-001

  • Several smart alternatives have bigger tanks than its 1.45-gallon tank, and it lacks both Wi-Fi and a built-in pump.

With Frigidaire 35 Pint Wi-Fi Dehumidifier

  • Compared with the Cube 35 reservoir, the standard bucket holds less.

Change of plan

When the answer changes

You need greater capacity and a built-in pump, with no app

Neither model fits. Local controls and pump drainage come together in the Honeywell TPFIT50PWK.

Decision guide

How to decide

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.

01

If the room stays damp

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.

02

If floor space is narrow

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.

03

If you rely on the bucket alone

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.

Check these before you buy

  • Capacity numbers are comparable only when temperature, humidity and test procedure match. The federal test rating is not the same thing as a maximum pint headline.
  • Walk the full hose route from start to finish. Gravity drainage needs a path that keeps descending, and pump discharge has to stay within the exact manual limits.
  • Know the true moisture source and the temperature. A dehumidifier cannot repair water leaks or guarantee a stated room size.

What this page can’t tell you

  • These calculations use published ratings and tank sizes. No hands-on drying test was done. The water collected in practice falls with temperature and relative humidity.
  • Steady output and a fully usable tank are assumed in the tank-runtime examples. In practice, shutoff level, cycling and real room conditions change the result.

By the numbers

What the data shows

What we found across the dehumidifiers we compare, plus the checked facts behind each finding.

How many fit

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.

The gap in numbers

Frigidaire 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.
