The catch
Dreo Dehumidifier 733S
Its 73-pint headline was set under hot, saturated conditions instead of the current federal test.
Side by side
Dreo 733S vs Honeywell 32 Pint: Honeywell keeps controls local, Dreo adds remote checks and a larger tank
Quick verdict
Dreo is the connected option and has the larger tank. For a utility room where simple controls and a documented 49 dBA rating are enough, Honeywell is easier to recommend.
Before you buy
Why, and what it costs you
Where these two really part ways
Dreo Dehumidifier 733S is the better match for “I'd like to empty the bucket less often” and “I want to look at humidity on my phone”. Honeywell 32 Pint TP-Fit is the better match for “The room may turn cold” and “I'll be moving it from room to room”.
Where this comes from
This lines up the current strong and useful fit ratings for the exact products. It does not roll them into one overall score.
The catch
Honeywell 32 Pint TP-Fit
It has neither Wi-Fi nor a built-in pump.

How we worked this out
This lines up the current strong and useful fit ratings for the exact products. It does not roll them into one overall score.
These needs do not split the pair
Both meet the same 2 of the 2 needs this comparison is built around, so the choice comes down to “connectivity” and “tank”.
How we worked this out
Both products are checked against the same needs. The first verified differences still standing are named here.
Models that handle “The space I'm drying is a medium room or finished basement” and “Noise should stay low”
4 of the 31 dehumidifiers checked handle both “The space I'm drying is a medium room or finished basement” and “Noise should stay low”. Both make the cut.
How we worked this out
You can reproduce the count by filtering the current category for models with a strong or useful fit on both needs.
Option A
Dreo, DR-HDH003S

Spec by spec
Where they really differ
| Spec | Dreo Dehumidifier 733S | Honeywell 32 Pint TP-Fit | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connectivity | Dreo app | None | It bears on what you can connect and how data can move. A higher rating printed on the label is no guarantee of the same real-world result in every setup. |
| Tank | 7 liters | 9.9 pints | It determines how frequently you have to refill, empty or begin a new batch. |
| Rated sound | As low as 42 dB | 49 dBA | Bedrooms, shared spaces and long sessions are where it counts most. |
Trade-offs
What each pick costs you
With Dreo Dehumidifier 733S
- Drainage is by gravity, with no internal lift pump.
With Honeywell 32 Pint TP-Fit
- In a wet room you will be emptying the 9.9-pint tank regularly.
