2015's Best Dehumidifiers With this post, we round out our review of the best dehumidifiers you can find. Be sure to check these models out for your specific needs and let us know what you think. Best Small Room Dehumidifier The NewAir AD-250 Portable Dehumidifier absorbs 25 pints of water in 24 hours, a decent size for small rooms like kitchens, bathrooms, and closets. It is small and light enough to carry from room to room and comes with a convenient handle. It shuts off automatically when the 25-pint tank fills, but if you have a humidity problem, you should consider the continuous drainage option. It is a refrigerant dehumidifier, and comes with auto-defrost so it will keep working in freezing temperatures. The NewAir doubles as an air purifier with its washable air filter. If you do not need a whole house dehumidifier, the NewAir is a great option for you. Best Drainage Pump Dehumidifier The Friedrich D70BP comes in 70-pint and 50-pint models that are identical except for their capacity. They feature a built-in pump that disposes of water up to 15 feet away from the machine. You can also opt for manual draining of the 16.2-pint bucket or connecting a drainage hose. There are electronic controls that allow you to program the ideal humidity level in your home, and a timer if you prefer to run for a specified period of time. It also has auto-defrost for cold temperatures, an air filter, and a 2-speed fan. The only choice you have to make is which is adequate for your home, because the 70-pint model is more expensive. Best Dessicant Dehumidifier The Eva-dry E-333 Mini Dehumidifier is ideal for those who do not need to dehumidify the whole home, but just certain areas. We all know how musty the workout area can get, but a 50- or 70-pint dehumidifier is a overkill. There are no wires or batteries, and is very compact for easy portability. It uses silica gel to absorb water, instead of a fan and compressor, so it is completely silent. The crystals turn from blue to pink as they absorb more moisture, and usually take two to four weeks to reach capacity. When they do, simply plug the unit in for 10 hours and the crystals go back to blue. With a lifespan of 10 years, these crystals are quite impressive. For affordability, the Eva-dry is the best bang for your buck you can find.
