Best Dehumidifiers for 2024

Coming in 30-pint, 50-pint, and 70-pint options, the Honeywell Smart Dehumidifier is our top pick for small and large rooms up to 4,000 square feet. Honeywell is a trusted brand, providing outstanding warranties for all its dehumidifiers, and we own the 50-pint dehumidifier model and are extremely pleased with its performance.

The Honeywell Comfort app alerts you whenever the water collection bucket is full or when the filter needs cleaning. Cleaning the air filters is as simple as a quick faucet rinse. You can continuously drain collected water to a nearby drain with the included hose and the built-in pump.

This large capacity dehumidifier connects your home network via Wi-Fi, allowing users to change the humidity and fan-speed settings with Amazon Alexa voice commands and a companion app. It is also Energy Star certified, saving you money on your electric bill.

While HomeLabs' dehumidifiers aren't smart-home compatible, they are the best-selling and best-reviewed dehumidifiers on Amazon. Coming in 22, 35, and 50-pint models, you'll be able to dry out rooms up to 4,500 square feet in size with the largest model, making it the best dehumidifier for basements.

All controls for the dehumidifier are located on the top of the unit, allowing you to monitor humidity levels and use special preset settings to control how long the unit runs a "comfort" option that sets humidity automatically, and a turbo option for maximum moisture removal.

If you're having difficulty keeping a crawl space or basement dry with a consumer-grade dehumidifier, we recommend a commercial-grade dehumidifier instead. The AlorAir is the best dehumidifier for crawl spaces on Amazon and removes up to 55 pints per day and efficiently dries out an area of 1,300 square feet. Energy Star certification also means it won't raise your electric bill either.

One thing that the AlorAir has that many consumer dehumidifiers do not is automatic defrost. This allows the AlorAir to operate in extremely cold conditions (down to 36F!). A gravity drain allows for easy water removal, and it can remember the last settings and restart automatically when the power goes out. Yes, it's expensive, but read the reviews -- it works well and fast.

The best dehumidifier for bathrooms and small spaces will be small -- there's not a lot of room to work with in most small bathrooms. The ProBreeze Mini Dehumidifier only stands 8.5" high, six inches wide, and six inches deep. That allows you to place it just about anywhere, and despite its small size, it works well in rooms up to 225 square feet. Some shoppers are using it as an RV dehumidifier, too.

Reviews praise its efficient yet super quiet operation, and an auto shutoff feature prevents the tank from overfilling. That is perhaps the biggest drawback: at 16 ounces, it is not a dehumidifier you'd run continuously.

The best dehumidifier for large crawl spaces is also from AlorAir, this time with the capability to remove up to 90 pints per day in average conditions and nearly 200 pints in saturated conditions. If the space you're looking to decrease the humidity is more than 1,500 square feet, we'd recommend this model over the 55PPD version we suggested earlier.

Like the other AlorAir, this model also has automatic defrost and will restart automatically after a power outage. However, it comes with an installed condensate pump, allowing users to remove water easily, pumping the water away instead of relying solely on gravity. This makes for more versatility during crawl space dehumidifier installation.

The Midea Cube Dehumidifier's unique extendable design makes it easy to use just about anywhere, even in small spaces, but still qualifies as a "high capacity dehumidifier." The "lift-and-twist" mechanism allows for more water storage when operating in extended form, depending on your available space. Compact storage is another key benefit, as it takes up far less space than a traditional dehumidifier.

The Midea portable dehumidifier collects up to 50 pints of water and can keep humidity steady anywhere between 35-85%. A highly efficient compressor limits energy usage and lowers your electric bill. Continuous operation is also possible by connecting the included drain hose and using the built-in pump, allowing the unit to drain itself.

Other rooms have different present humidity settings, such as the bathroom, basement, bedroom, or crawlspace. You can track humidity and water levels in the app, where a predictive bucket fill algorithm provides an estimate of when you must empty the water tank.
