Waykar 34 Pint
RTINGS measured 47.3 dBA and low heat rise on the Waykar PD160B, which makes it the safest quiet-room bet in this set. If you want more capacity, the Frigidaire 35 has a 48 dBA manufacturer rating.

- Go with Frigidaire 35 Pint Wi-Fi Dehumidifier if
- Medium rooms where low noise and verified efficiency are equally important

Show the facts and the math
How we countedThe count uses each product's current fit ratings for “Noise should stay low”, “I have to control moisture in a bedroom or small room”, and “I want less extra heat in the room”. 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.
