Dehumidifier comparison chart
Every dehumidifier that reaches the top 5 of one of our rankings, side by side. Capacity, coverage, pump and warranty are copied from each exact Amazon listing; "Not stated" means the listing does not give the figure. Sellers quote capacity under different conditions (some at saturation, 95°F and 90% RH, others at the lower DOE rating), so check the manual before comparing two numbers directly.
Frequently asked questions
How do I read the dehumidifier comparison chart?
Each row is one dehumidifier that reaches the top 5 of a ranking. Pints per day, coverage, pump and warranty are copied from its exact Amazon listing, and Not stated means the listing gives no figure. The rating out of 10 is the one shown on its own review page.
Why can two pints per day figures not be compared directly?
Sellers quote capacity under different conditions. Some give the maximum at saturation, around 95°F and 90% RH, while others give the lower DOE rating. A unit listed at 50 pints can therefore match one listed near 120. Check the stated conditions in each manual before comparing.
Which dehumidifier lasts longest?
No listing can prove how long a unit will last, and we do not rate durability. The documented proxy is warranty length: our long-warranty ranking only includes dehumidifiers whose listing states 5 years or more, and it says when that term covers the compressor only.
Which dehumidifier comparison should I start with?
Match the ranking to the space. For an open basement, start with the basement shortlist. For low clearance under the house, use the crawl space ranking. With no floor drain nearby, open the pump ranking, and use the drain accessories list for hoses and fittings.
