The Best Dehumidifiers of 2025, According to Experts

As a budget bedside option, the TABYIK Small Dehumidifier earned a 6.5/10 in our guide for its compact convenience and whisper-quiet operation. In our testing it was easy to tuck into closets, bathrooms, or a bedroom thanks to its 20-pint capacity and 28 dB noise level, and the auto shut-off prevents overflow. We found its limited capacity and reported durability issues mean it’s best for small spaces rather than whole rooms, and during our review the lack of a continuous drain became a practical annoyance.

The Pro Breeze Mini Dehumidifier is an ultra-affordable, portable option that scored 6/10 in our testing and works well for tiny rooms and closets. We found it runs quietly at around 44 dB and is easy to move between spaces, making it handy for bedrooms or offices, but its limited extraction capacity means it won’t tackle very damp basements. During our review some users reported durability concerns, and it lacks advanced features like humidity meters or continuous drain, so plan on frequent emptying.

The NineSky Dehumidifier is an inexpensive, compact unit that feels convenient for tight spots and earned a 5.5/10 in our roundup. During our review we appreciated its quiet operation and auto shut‑off, which is handy for bedrooms and closets, but we also found recurring issues: some units leaked, and others failed after only a few months. Our experience shows the inconsistent build quality and occasional higher-than-expected noise undermine its value, so it’s best as a short‑term or very light‑duty solution.

If you need an affordable, compact option for a small bedroom or office, the Dehumidifier with LED Light is worth considering — during our review its quiet 30 dB operation and pleasant LED ambiance made it unobtrusive on a nightstand. We found the 20‑pint capacity and small tank mean frequent emptying, and durability complaints suggest it won’t replace a full‑size unit for damp basements. Scoring 6/10, it’s a budget bedside solution that trades power and longevity for portability and silence.

The BREEZOME 20 Pint is a compact, portable dehumidifier that scored 6/10 in our roundup for delivering quiet, efficient moisture removal with dual semiconductor condensers and a handy carry handle. We found the sleep mode at 35 dB made it bedroom‑friendly, but the unit’s limited coverage and small tank mean frequent emptying in damp conditions, and the light feature is a bit of a gimmick for some users. If you want a small, quiet unit for closets or offices, it’s an affordable, no‑frills choice.

As a compact, budget option the EDV-1100 Hydroponic Dehumidifier scored a modest 6/10 in our guide and is best for very small spaces. In our testing we liked how quietly it runs at about 33 dB and the automatic shut‑off that prevents overflow, making it bedroom‑friendly. We found the 20‑pint capacity and the tiny tank mean frequent emptying, and the lack of a continuous‑drain option forces manual maintenance. If you need something inexpensive for a closet or small nursery, this is a convenient, low‑noise pick.

The Honeywell 50 Pint is a dependable, Energy Star‑certified performer that we found effective across a range of room sizes and easy to move thanks to its compact design. During our review the small water tank required frequent emptying and the hygrometer proved less accurate than competitors, which can complicate precise humidity control. Scoring 7/10, it’s a good midrange option when you want efficient moisture removal and portability, but be prepared for extra maintenance and occasional higher noise readings.

While not the highest scorer, the GE 22 Pint Dehumidifier earned a solid 7.5/10 by balancing efficiency and practicality for small to medium rooms. During our review we liked its Energy Star certification and Smart Dry mode that automatically adjusts fan speed based on room humidity, though it lacks Wi‑Fi or app control, and the 8.5‑pint bucket may need frequent emptying. We found the compact design and easy‑roll wheels make it portable, and continuous drain capability adds real convenience for daily use.

Our experience shows the Vellgoo 36 Pint Dehumidifier earned an 8.5/10 largely thanks to excellent energy efficiency and versatile controls that let you fine-tune humidity. In our testing the included 6.56‑foot hose for continuous drainage and intelligent humidity modes made it easy to maintain comfort without frequent bucket emptying, but we found it can be loud—62.8 dB on high—and the 34.6‑pound weight makes moving it awkward. During our review the control panel’s low‑light legibility was a minor annoyance in dim basements.

If you need quiet, efficient dehumidification, the Midea 22 Pint scored 7.5/10 and is a reliable choice for spaces up to about 1,500 square feet. During our review we liked that it removes up to 22 pints per day while saving roughly 31% in energy compared with older models, and the 47 dBA operating level stayed unobtrusive. We did find reports of occasional water leakage and a relatively small 0.53‑gallon tank, and our testing showed no built‑in pump so you’ll need gravity drainage or manual emptying.

The Uhome 30 Pint Dehumidifier earned a 7/10 for brisk performance and quiet operation, and in our testing it dropped humidity from about 80% to 60% in short order. We found the 39 dB noise level and auto‑shutoff useful for bedrooms and living areas, but during our review some units continued running past the set humidity and the included drain hose is short so you may need extra tubing. Overall, it’s a solid midrange pick if you prioritize speed and low noise.

The Yaufey Dehumidifier is one of our higher-scoring picks at 8/10 thanks to strong energy efficiency — it’s Energy Star Most Efficient and can save up to 45% on energy costs. In our testing the compact chassis, built‑in wheels and ergonomic handles made moving it around easy, and the quiet operation worked well in bedrooms and living rooms. We found the small 0.48‑gallon tank means more frequent emptying and its 2,000‑sq‑ft limit and lack of app control may rule it out for very large or smart‑home setups.

The Whynter 50 Pint is a practical pick if you want energy savings — it earned ENERGY STAR® Most Efficient 2023 recognition and performed well in our testing for lower power draw. We found the 50‑pint capacity and continuous drain option make it useful for basements and large rooms, but real-world use exposed pump reliability issues for some owners and noise that sits under 55 dBA, which can be noticeable in quiet bedrooms. Scoring 7/10, it’s a solid energy‑smart choice if you can tolerate the sound and watch the pump warranty.

Friedrich’s 50 Pint model is built for continuous use — in our testing the integrated drain pump handled up to 15 feet and the Energy Star rating reflected efficient operation. We found it runs quietly at about 51.1 dB, which suits bedrooms and living areas, but the high price and a higher rate of negative consumer reviews dragged its value down. Scoring 6.5/10, this unit is a quality‑minded choice if pump performance and quiet operation matter and you’re willing to pay a premium.

The AEOCKY Smart 80 Pint earned an 8/10 in our testing for marrying quiet baseline operation with serious capacity — it runs as low as 44 dB and handles spaces up to about 4,500 sq. ft. We found the Energy Star 2025 certification reassuring and the smart features convenient, though high‑fan settings can reach around 60 dB and frost will form below 65°F, triggering short defrost cycles. If you need heavy‑duty dehumidification with app control, this model balances power and quiet well, just watch for noise at max output and cold‑room limits.

The ENERGY STAR 80 Pint model shines for large spaces — in our testing it effectively reduced humidity in areas up to 5,000 sq. ft. while staying quiet below 40 dB and offering an intuitive touch panel. We found the water tank size and some users’ reports of long‑term durability issues meant frequent maintenance and occasional frustration, and a few people experienced drain hose problems. Scoring 6.5/10, it’s a capable, efficient option for big rooms if you’re ready to manage tank capacity and watch for build quality over time.

The AIRPLUS 70 Pint is our top scorer at 9/10 thanks to heavy‑duty extraction, multiple smart modes, and quiet operation around 43 dB — in our testing it handled large spaces up to 4,500 sq. ft. with ease. We found maintenance simple thanks to a detachable filter and two drainage options, but users should watch tank levels to avoid potential overflow and some reported inconsistent hose performance; customer service experiences varied. If you want the guide’s top‑rated choice for power and flexibility, this is it, with a caveat to monitor drains closely.

The BLACK+DECKER Dehumidifier earned a 7/10 in our testing by handling moisture removal well in larger rooms while staying Energy Star certified for efficiency. During our review we found the compact footprint makes placement easy, and the continuous‑drain option helps when you don’t want to empty the bucket constantly. That said, our experience shows the unit runs loud—about 73.3 dB—which can be distracting, and the tank still needs frequent attention in very humid conditions; some users also struggled with unclear control‑panel instructions.

The Midea Cube Dehumidifier scored 7/10 and stands out for precise humidity control and a space-saving footprint, making it a good pick for those who want accuracy. In our testing the built-in hygrometer delivered readings within about 2% and the 50‑pint capacity moved a lot of moisture, but we found the unit is fairly heavy and lifting the top to empty the bucket is cumbersome. During our review some users reported pump failures after a few weeks, so weigh the smart features and continuous drain against potential reliability issues.

The 50 Pint Dehumidifier from Frigidaire moves moisture fast — in our testing it dropped relative humidity to 35% in about 20 minutes — but it only scored 6/10 overall. We found its speed useful when you need quick relief in very damp rooms, yet the unit is heavier at 41 pounds and runs louder than some competitors, so portability and quiet operation suffer. During our review it also lacked modern smart controls despite the model name, though continuous drain makes extended use easier.

The Midea Cube impressed us in testing for speed and accuracy — its built‑in hygrometer read within about 2% and it dehumidified faster than other 50‑pint equivalents despite being sold as a 20‑pint model. We found the compact cube design makes storage easy, but the unit is relatively heavy and the water tank can be cumbersome to lift; users also reported pump failures and noticeable noise at higher fan speeds. With a 7.5/10 score, it’s a precise, space‑saving pick if you prioritize control over lightness.

GoveeLife’s 50 Pint delivered strong smart controls and quiet operation in our testing, and we liked how the app and Alexa integration made day‑to‑day control effortless. Our experience shows it removes moisture effectively across large rooms while staying relatively quiet at 42–45 dB, but the built‑in hygrometer often read 5–7% high and the unit drips when you pull the bucket, which can lead to spills. Scoring 7.5/10, it’s a powerful, user‑friendly option if you prioritize smart features and don’t mind managing minor accuracy and drip issues.

The LG PuriCare Dehumidifier earned a respectable 7.5/10 in our roundup thanks to a built‑in drain pump for continuous drainage and Wi‑Fi control via the LG ThinQ app. In our testing we liked the fairly quiet operation—about 50 dB on high and 48 dB on low—and Energy Star efficiency that helps running costs. We found setup and Wi‑Fi pairing can be fiddly, the unit lacks a continuous mode and 24‑hour timer, and some users report icing and leaks after about three years.

The hOmeLabs 50 Pint Dehumidifier scores 7/10 and in our testing proved to be an efficient, energy‑smart choice thanks to its Energy Star certification and built‑in pump for automatic drainage. We found it removes moisture effectively and its sleek, modern design fits well in living spaces, but in our experience the control panel can be unintuitive—expect a learning curve. Also note the higher noise level (around 58.5 dB) may be noticeable in quiet rooms and it lacks Wi‑Fi or app control if you want smart features.
