How we chose

How we chose

We lined up the six hOmeLabs dehumidifiers by the two things that decide a purchase: how much floor space each one covers and how many pints per day it pulls. Coverage runs from 1,800 sq ft on the 8 Pint up to 7,500 sq ft on the 50 Pint with Pump, and capacity runs from 8 pints/day to 50 pints/day. We also noted which units include a pump, since that decides whether you can drain continuously or have to empty a tank.

Price was the third filter. Current prices span $174.99 for the 8 Pint to $319.99 for the 40 Pint with Pump, and the gaps between them are small in places: the 50 Pint costs $35.00 more than the 25 Pint, while the 32 Pint costs $23.50 less than the 25 Pint. The pump versions sit above their tank-only counterparts — the 50 Pint with Pump costs $40.00 more than the 50 Pint.

Matching those numbers to a room is straightforward. Small spaces point to the 8 Pint at 1,800 sq ft. Basements and whole floors land on the 50 Pint at 7,000 sq ft, or the 50 Pint with Pump at 7,500 sq ft if you want continuous drainage.

Who should skip these

If your space is under 1,800 sq ft, the 8 Pint Dehumidifier covers up to 1,800 sq ft at 8 pints/day for $174.99, and it is the least expensive unit here — $36.50 less than the 32 Pint, $60.00 less than the 25 Pint, $95.00 less than the 50 Pint, $135.00 less than the 50 Pint with Pump, and $145.00 less than the 40 Pint with Pump.

If you only need occasional spot drying, the larger capacities may be more than you need. The 25 Pint at $234.99 and the 32 Pint at $211.49 are the two lowest-capacity step-ups, at 25 pints/day and 32 pints/day.

A pump model only makes sense if you want continuous drainage without emptying a tank. The 40 Pint with Pump is $319.99, the 50 Pint with Pump is $309.99, and the 50 Pint without a pump is $269.99 — $40.00 less than the pump version.

How to choose the right one

Start with coverage. The 8 Pint handles up to 1,800 sq ft, the 25 Pint up to 3,500 sq ft, the 32 Pint up to 4,500 sq ft, the 40 Pint with Pump up to 6,000 sq ft, the 50 Pint up to 7,000 sq ft, and the 50 Pint with Pump up to 7,500 sq ft. Match the figure to the floor you actually need to dry.

Then pick pints per day for how damp it gets: 8, 25, 32, 40, or 50 pints/day. Each model also lists a maximum at 95°F, 90% RH, from 24 pints up to 120 pints.

If you want to drain continuously without emptying a tank, choose a pump model: the 40 Pint with Pump at $319.99 or the 50 Pint with Pump at $309.99. On price, the 32 Pint is $211.49, the 25 Pint is $234.99, and the 50 Pint is $269.99 — $35.00 more than the 25 Pint. The 50 Pint with Pump is $40.00 more than the 50 Pint, and the 40 Pint with Pump is $10.00 more than the 50 Pint with Pump.
