9 Best Dehumidifiers of 2026

The Dreo 733S ranks first because it is the only full-size compressor model here that pairs a published noise figure, 42 dB, with a large tank and app control at under $300. Dreo sells it in 73-pint and 95-pint sizes, and the 73-pint version was $279.99 on Dreo's US store when we checked. The spec table lists 2,000 sq ft of floor coverage, 163 CFM of airflow, auto mode, auto defrost and a 1.85 gallon (7L) tank, and the box includes a drain hose for continuous gravity drainage. The DREO app adds real-time energy and cost tracking, which is useful for a unit that may run for months in a basement. The trade-offs: there is no pump, so the drain point has to be lower than the unit, and Dreo quotes capacity as a 22 to 73 pint range without naming test conditions for each figure. We compared documented features and published prices.

The hOmeLabs 50 Pint Wi-Fi model with pump is the pick for big, wet basements without a floor drain. hOmeLabs rates it at 50 pints per day, with a maximum of 120 pints at 95°F and 90% relative humidity, and for spaces up to 7,500 sq ft, the largest rating on this list. The built-in pump lets you send water up to a laundry sink or out a basement window instead of carrying a bucket, and Wi-Fi control lets you check humidity from upstairs. It was $309.99 on the hOmeLabs US store when we checked, with free shipping, a 1-year warranty and 30-day returns. The gaps are in documentation: hOmeLabs publishes no decibel figure for this model, and the product page lists fewer specs than Dreo or Midea do. If quiet operation in a living space is the priority, a model with a published noise rating is the safer buy. We compared documented features and published prices.

The Dreo 711S is the capacity pick. Dreo lists it at 110 pints with 4,500 square feet of floor area and 210 CFM of airflow, and it still carries a published noise figure of 46 dB, four decibels above the smaller 733S. Dreo describes dual-option drainage, an intelligent auto mode and full smart control, and sells it in black, white and a StarLight finish. It was $359.99 on Dreo's US store when we checked, the highest verified price here, and it weighs 43.9 pounds, so it is a unit you place once rather than carry between rooms. Dreo's product page does not say at what temperature and humidity the 110-pint figure was measured, so compare it with care against models that quote the 2019 DOE test. For a large basement that floods or stays wet through summer, it is the strongest documented option. We compared documented features and published prices.

Waykar's PD160B-PRO-B is the quiet budget pick for bedrooms and small basements. Waykar names it the 34 Pints Super Quiet Dehumidifier at 33 dB, rates it at 34 pints per day at 95°F and 90% relative humidity, and lists 2,000 sq ft of coverage with the ability to dry a room to 30% RH. It carries an ENERGY STAR Most Efficient 2025 label and 190 W rated power. The unit has a 3.3 ft gravity drain hose, a 0.6 gallon tank with a full-tank alarm, auto defrost, a 24-hour timer and power-off memory, and weighs 24.25 lbs. It was $156.99 on Waykar's US store when we checked, and Waykar adds a second warranty year on registration. Keep expectations in proportion: its capacity is measured at the hot, humid maximum condition, so it is not a substitute for a 50-pint unit in a wet basement, and there is no app. We compared documented features and published prices.

Midea's Cube is the most compact 50-pint design here. A lift-and-twist body switches between a nested mode for storage and an extended mode for running, and the MAD50PS1QWT-B version adds a built-in pump that drains out of a window or into a sink with the included hose. Midea lists 50 pints per day, wheels, a built-in handle, SmartHome app and voice assistant control, a weight of 41.54 lbs and a 1-year warranty. One caution: the spec table gives a room size of 4,500 sq ft while the product copy says the compact unit covers up to 1,500 sq ft, so size it by the lower figure if your basement is large. Midea does not publish a noise rating on the page, and the US store did not show a price we could confirm, so the value score is conservative. It remains a strong pick when you want a pump and plan to put the unit away each winter. We compared documented features and published prices.

The hOmeLabs 32 Pint is a slim smart unit that is honest about test conditions. hOmeLabs states it removes up to 32 pints per day at 80°F and 60% relative humidity, and 80 pints at the 95°F, 90% RH maximum, which makes comparison with other brands easier. It is rated for spaces up to 4,500 sq ft, measures 19.6 x 12.2 x 8.2 inches, and works over Wi-Fi with a phone, Alexa or Google Assistant for timers and humidity targets. The 1-gallon tank shuts off when full, and a drain hose is included for continuous drainage. It was $234.99 on the hOmeLabs US store when we checked. hOmeLabs describes the operation as ultra-quiet without giving a decibel figure, so treat noise as unknown, and there is no pump. For a mid-size basement with a floor drain or a large bedroom where you want app control, it sits between the budget Waykar and the 50-pint models. We compared documented features and published prices.

The LG PuriCare Sonoran DT501BKR0 replaces LG's older 50-pint models, which LG's site now marks as discontinued. LG says it removes up to 50 pints of moisture daily and is clear about how: a footnote cites third-party testing under DOE Appendix X1 conditions, 65°F and 60% relative humidity, in Boost Mode. It is ENERGY STAR certified, offers Manual, Auto, Continuous and 1-Hour Boost modes, takes a drain hose for non-stop operation, and connects to LG ThinQ over Wi-Fi for monitoring and alerts. LG describes it as quiet day and night but does not publish a decibel figure, and no pump is listed, so it needs a floor drain for unattended basement use. LG's US page did not show a price we could confirm, so the value score is conservative. It is the natural pick for homes already using ThinQ for other LG appliances. We compared documented features and published prices.

The hOmeLabs 8 Pint is a bedroom unit first. hOmeLabs rates it at 38 dB and positions it for bedrooms, nurseries and home offices, and it removes up to 8 pints per day at 80°F and 60% relative humidity, or 24 pints at the 95°F, 90% RH maximum. Coverage is listed at up to 1,800 sq ft, though that assumes mild dampness. It connects over Wi-Fi for app or voice control, with a timer and auto mode, and ships with a 3.3 ft drain hose, auto shut-off and washable filters. It was $174.99 on the hOmeLabs US store when we checked. The issue is value against capacity: the Waykar 34-pint unit costs less and handles more water, with a lower marketed noise figure, though without Wi-Fi. Choose the hOmeLabs if you want app control in a small, mildly humid bedroom; choose a bigger unit for anything that smells musty. We compared documented features and published prices.

The Eva-Dry EDV-1100 is not a basement dehumidifier, and Eva-Dry does not claim it is. It is a compact electric unit rated for up to 1,100 cubic feet, and Eva-Dry lists small bedrooms, bathrooms, home offices and laundry areas as its uses. It runs at approximately 33 dB on 22 watts, shuts off automatically when its internal reservoir is full and restarts after a power interruption, and an optional 12V cord lets it run in an RV or boat. At $59.95 on Eva-Dry's US store when checked, it is the cheapest product here and uses the least power. The trade-off is capacity: it removes far less water than a compressor model, and the reservoir can need emptying daily in a humid room. Buy it for a closet, a small bathroom or a damp corner, not for a musty basement. We compared documented features and published prices.
