    Test Results

    Water removal

    Water removal

    Water removal measures pints per day removed under 65º F and 60 percent relative humidity (the new 2019 DOE standard). Models closest to claimed removal scored higher.

     /  5
    Energy efficiency

    Energy efficiency

    Energy efficiency measures kWh needed to remove a pint of water from the air; the fewer the kilowatts, the higher the score.

     /  5
    Noise

    Noise

    Noise denotes loudness at the highest setting, measured in decibels. We also measured ability to run on low voltage and restart after a simulated blackout; models that didn't automatically restart are footnoted.

     /  5
    Humidistat accuracy

    Humidistat accuracy

    Humidistat accuracy is how closely humidistats came to keeping the humidity levels we set for them in our test chamber.

     /  5
    Convenience

    Convenience

    A measure of how often you would need to empty the tank in order to reach the claimed pts/day.

     /  5
    Cool room performance

    Cool room performance

    Cool room performance measures pints of water removed and watts needed to remove this water when the dehumidifier is used in a room that is 50 degrees F and 60% relative humidity.
