Midea dehumidifiers comes with a custom humidity control, specifically two operating modes. You can choose between continual comfort mode, which will maintain a 45% to 55% humidity range, or continual dehumidification, which will remove moisture due to rain, flooding, and other weather conditions. With an Energy Star certification, running this device on the second operating mode will still be energy-efficient.

This dehumidifier also comes with fan speed options and a quiet mode. It has a maximum 51-decibel limit for low volume operation. Similar to most models, this device has an automatic shut-off for when the water tank is full. But it doesn’t end there - it comes with smart features such as Auto-Defrost to prevent collected water from freezing and damaging the device as well as Automatic Restart after a power outage, which will run your chosen setting when it turns back on. It also provides alerts when the reusable filter needs cleaning.

When the tank is full, you can easily empty the included tank. There is also an option to connect a garden hose (not included) to a socket for gravity-fed continuous draining. The tank capacity and coverage varies per pints. The 20-pint variant has a 0.8-gallon tank and covers 1,500 square feet while the 35-pint version comes with a 1.6 gallon-tank and covers 3,000 square feet. For the largest model, it has a 1.6-gallon tank and is suitable for interior spaces up to 4,500 square feet. The company offers one-year parts and labor warranty on these products.

The hOmeLabs dehumidifiers can accommodate small to large rooms. It has a white and sleek design, which makes it look less clunky. This dehumidifier comes with handles and built-in wheels, making it convenient to move around or store. Since you’ll be using the dehumidifier in your bedroom, you’ll be glad to know that this model comes with a quiet fan, perfect for light sleepers.

This model is also easy to use and uncomplicated. You just need to adjust to your desired moisture level and then it will run continuously for 24 hours until the tank gets full. No need to worry about spillage since it will automatically shut-off once the tank is filled. If you don’t want to keep emptying the tank and have continuous draining, this dehumidifier has a drain hose outlet (hose not included).

This dehumidifier comes in different coverages and pints. The 22-pint one has a 1-gallon water tank capacity and is suitable for indoor spaces up to 1,500 square feet. Both the 35- and 50-pint variants have a 1.8-gallon capacity, but the former is only suitable for 1,500 to 3,000 square feet while the latter can cover 3,000 to 4,500 square feet.

If you want an energy-efficient device, this dehumidifier is Energy Star certified, which means it can remove the same amount of moisture as other models without the certification for less energy. The company also offers a 2-year warranty, which you can extend for another 6 months if you sign up on their website.

Another brand that offers multiple sizes and capacities is Frigidaire dehumidifiers. It has a portable design, with integrated side handles and rolling casters, making it easy to store and set up.

This dehumidifier comes with both humidity control and speed options. You can choose among three fan speed options and set the humidity level. Even if it doesn’t have a quiet mode, you can make it less noisy by choosing the fan speed option with the quietest setting.

When the tank is full, there is an Automatic Shut-Off feature as well as a Full Tank Alert to let you know when the tank needs to be emptied. There is even a front water-level indication, showing you the current status and updates.

It is easy to remove the water because it uses a front pull-out bucket with full-height indents. The bucket comes with an integrated carry handle and splash guard to prevent spillage. If you prefer not manually removing the water, you have the option to use the Continuous Drain mode, which can be used with a standard hose (not included). 

The Frigidaire Dehumidifiers come in 22, 35, and 50 pints, with all types using a 2-gallon tank. They also have a 50-pint version with a built-in pump, which will be a bit more expensive but still under $300, and a 60-pint variant but costs around $500. These products come with full 1-year parts and labor warranty with additional 4 years limited on a sealed system.

If you don’t need to cover a lot of square footage, one of the best and most affordable options is the Pro Breeze Electric Mini Dehumidifier. It is suitable for interior spaces of up to either 150 or 250 square feet. The smaller model is capable of removing up to 9 ounces of water per day while the larger one can handle 18 ounces. I think that even if the larger model is twice as expensive as the smaller one, the difference in coverage and tank capacity is worth the price.

This dehumidifier is small, lightweight, and portable. It automatically shuts off when the tank is full and has a LED light indicator when the tank needs to be emptied. This is also perfect for light sleepers as it has a whisper quiet operation.

It is not Energy Star certified but is still energy efficient at an output of 23w per hour. It only uses 0.55kW after running for a full day. But it only works with an optimal operating temperature of 59 to 86°F and will not run below 41°F. The device comes with a 1-year warranty.
