How this ranking is scored

We took portable ENERGY STAR dehumidifiers certified at up to 35 pints per day and compared the 10 most efficient.

Each number is scored against the best on this page (best = 100%; e.g. 90% of the best capacity = 0.9) and multiplied by its weight; the total is out of 100. Full method.

FAQ

Are tiny thermoelectric dehumidifiers on this list?

No. Only ENERGY STAR certified compressor units appear in the dataset; very small thermoelectric units remove far less water and are not certified.

How much water will these remove?

Certified capacity on this page ranges from 24.5 to 33.13 pints per day under the DOE test conditions.

Where do these numbers come from?

From the U.S. EPA ENERGY STAR certified Dehumidifiers dataset (retrieved 2026-11-01). We rank the certified results; we did not run our own tests.
