Sensible capacity for a bedroom
Top pick
Waykar 34 Pint
For a bedroom, the Waykar PD160B is the best fit here. Independent testing found moderate sound and low heat rise, and the compact body is easy to place. If app control and a larger bucket are worth a little more bulk, go with the Midea Cube 20.
Why it suits this job
- Sound at low speed
- Heat output
- The catch
- Water removal was modest in RTINGS measurements, so a very wet basement will recover slowly.
- Go with Midea Cube 20 Pint if
- Small rooms where you want a big bucket, app control and easy storage
More reasons we picked it
- Floor space
- Capacity that suits a small room

How we countedThe count uses each product's current fit ratings for “I have to control moisture in a bedroom or small room”, “Noise should stay low”, and “Floor space is limited”. 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. The median draws on the 9 of 31 models that publish comparable figures.
