Best Dehumidifiers: Remove Dampness & Humidity From Attics To Basements & More
By: 911 Water Damage Experts
Humidity is a tricky thing to keep outside.
Once it enters the home, it can easily infiltrate all of the damp areas and make them even more damper than they were before.
For the larger mass, the humidity level between 30 percent and 50 percent is considered to be ideal, meaning the humidity is lower in the winter and higher in the summer.
However, in those cases where humidity is higher than 50%, it starts becoming a breeding ground for mildew, mould, and even dust mites.
Thankfully, there is the power of the dehumidifier.
Contrary to the humidifier, which only adds a bit of humidity into the air in your home, the dehumidifier removes the excess water from your living environment, thus preventing mould, dust mites, and mildew from ever building up.
Most humidifiers work by drawing the air through an inlet, with the force of an internal processor, and fanning it.
Once the air goes through the coils, the excess moisture and condensation are retracted from the air.
After that, the dry air is released back into the room.
This is why dehumidifiers are considered to be extremely important.
Since they have to be tested regularly so they would be marked as quality products, we are always on the lookout when it comes to new models and their abilities.
The regular tests that are done are not only to check their quality level, but also the noisiness, and efficiency, so this means their overall performance is tested.
Controlling the dehumidifier, checking to see how easily portable it is, operating and navigating the system, as well as the remove and emptying all the buckets.
As you can see, everything needs to be taken into consideration.
This is the reason why we are proud to present the latest list of the best dehumidifiers we could find.
Based on the testing, the results are just below.
Best Humidifier 1. High Humidity 50-Pint Capacity Dehumidifier
There are a few solid reasons why we love this dehumidifier.
It is very easily portable and it has a washable filter. This is a model that will come on top each time, and with a good reason, it has some simple features that are easy to learn.
The digital read-out can help you monitor the current level of humidity and there is a circular window that can tell you when it is time to change the bucket.
If you are interested in creating continuous drainage, you can easily connect a hose.
To allow easy storage, the cord can be wrapped around in the back, and thanks to the wheels and the side handles, you can move it around with almost no effort.
Best Humidifier 2. Low Humidity 22-Pint Capacity Dehumidifiers
There is a reason why we love this dehumidifier, it has a washable filter, it is incredibly easy to move around, and it is the ideal size for a small space.
This dehumidifier has some excellent features to go around, but our best pick so far is the portability, it is incredibly easy to move to whichever corner of the space you need.
Also, it is very easy to store, since there are hooks that wrap the cord, and there is also a tank that you can monitor through the window.
As it is already noticeable, the capacity of this dehumidifier is 22 pints.
It is incredibly lightweight, and this is why it is considered the optimal choice for a small spare or an area that is not that damp.
Best Humidifier 3. PuriCare 50-Pint Clear Bucket Dehumidifier With Handle
The reasons why we love this dehumidifier are:
It has an incredibly sleek design;
It’s considered as being easily portable;
It has a washable filter.
On the other hand, what you need to remember here is that this model is considered to be a bit more on the expensive side.
This is an incredible LG model that has one of the best designs we have ever seen and it also has some very well-thought-of features too.
As the water rises, the clear bucket gives you the choice to monitor it, and see when it is full!
Also, to make the dumping easier than it already is, this dehumidifier has a splash guard with a large handle.
And, on top of it all, if you want to prevent this dehumidifier from overheating, you can always connect a hose to the back for continuous drainage and it rests every 23 hours.
Best Humidifier 4. 50-Pint Dehumidifier with Built-In Pump
The reason why we love this dehumidifier is of course, the portable design (as you can see so far we are big fans of easily portable designs), and it has a built-in pump.
On the other hand, it does have a bit of a clunky design.
If you think that the draining of the dehumidifier via hose should not be an option, then this model might be the one for you, it has a built-in pump that can help you drain it in an elevated sink.
The thing that we like the most about this model is that it is a durable pick and a mighty one at that too!
It can remove moisture in a space that is about 1500 feet in size, making it the perfect option for a large home or a small office.
Also it can be used in spaces where an extra bit of moisture is found, such as the basement.
This is quite the smart model too since it has a full tank alert that shuts off by itself to prevent overflowing.
Best Humidifier 5. PuriCare 50-Pint Pump and Wi-Fi Dehumidifier
The reason why we love this particular model is that it is portable, it has a washable filter, it has a built-in pump and it works with Alexa!
LG strike again with this incredible model.
It has a 12-hour timer and can control the dehumidification that way so it could pre-set the humidity of a room.
You can choose to add a hose or choose to get an alert when the bucket is full, the design is sleek and you can easily move it around.
The best part we think is the Wi-Fi control, you can completely control the dehumidifier, and even receive notifications when you are not home or with Alexa commands.
Even though it is a 50-pint model, the capacity is roughly calculated to be the same as a 30-pint model.
