In practice
Differences you will notice
About twelve percent more rated output comes with Frigidaire
The difference is 3.85 pints per day.
How we worked this out
35.85 minus 32 equals 3.85, and dividing by 32 gives 12.0 percent.
Per liter, Rhea uses about four percent less test energy
The output and bucket gaps are both bigger than this difference.
How we worked this out
1 minus 2.01 divided by 2.09 equals 3.83 percent, taking the inverse IEF.
Two extra pints fit in the larger bucket
About 17 percent more volume is in the Frigidaire tank.
How we worked this out
1.7 minus 1.45 equals 0.25 gallon. Multiplying by 8 gives 2 pints. 0.25 divided by 1.45 equals 17.2 percent.

Spec by spec
Where they really differ
| Spec | AEOCKY Rhea-002 | Frigidaire 35 Pint Wi-Fi Dehumidifier | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Certified output | 32 pints/day | 35.85 pints/day | Tested capacity is higher on Frigidaire. |
| Integrated energy factor | 2.09 L/kWh | 2.01 L/kWh | Per equal liter, Rhea holds a modest efficiency advantage. |
| Tank | 1.45 gallons | 1.7 gallons | More storage comes with Frigidaire. |
| Controls | Local panel | Local panel and Wi-Fi app | Remote access is a difference in convenience and has nothing to do with output. |
| Cabinet width | 8.66 inches | 14.7 inches | Before the required airflow clearance, Rhea is narrower. |
Trade-offs
What each pick costs you
With AEOCKY Rhea-002
- Neither Wi-Fi nor a built-in lift pump is documented.
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 want higher certified output and still want local controls
Neither model fits. When the smaller models have too little capacity, Frigidaire 50 Wi-Fi provides 49.71 certified pints per day and a 2.7-gallon bucket.
Decision guide
How to decide
A narrow cabinet and slightly better test efficiency per liter favor Rhea-002. Higher certified output, a larger bucket and Wi-Fi favor Frigidaire 35.
If the machine is downstairs
App access on Frigidaire can spare you a trip just to check humidity or change a setting. You still have to inspect it and empty the bucket unless a drain hose is in use. Rhea has no connected feature, even though the word smart appears in its humidity-control marketing.
If the installation is tight
With Rhea you gain 6.04 inches of cabinet width, which can be valuable beside a washing machine or in a utility closet. Before assuming a narrow appliance belongs in a sealed cupboard, check the discharge direction and service clearance.
If you compare performance numbers
The 105-pint maximum headline of Rhea and the 35-pint model name of Frigidaire do not describe equivalent rating conditions. In the exact certification figures, Frigidaire is ahead on capacity. The edge for Rhea is a slightly higher IEF, which covers a different part of the decision.
What this page can’t tell you
- Hands-on moisture-removal and noise tests were not carried out.
- The equal-water energy examples are built on the inverse of certified IEF and do not predict household electricity bills.
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”, “I want to look at humidity on my phone”, “Floor space is limited”, and “Since it will run often, efficiency counts”, so the pick goes to the closest practical compromise.
0 models fit, out of 31 checkedThe gap in numbers
Frigidaire 35 Pint Wi-Fi Dehumidifier lists 35.9 pints/day for moisture removal under the current test, 12% more than the 32 pints/day on AEOCKY Rhea-002.

How we countedThe count uses each product's current fit ratings for “The space I'm drying is a medium room or finished basement”, “I want to look at humidity on my phone”, “Floor space is limited”, and “Since it will run often, efficiency counts”. 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.
