But if you’re on the market for one of thebest dehumidifiers, it does a brilliant job.
Its also a very simple, straightforward unit.
However, its overkill for spaces under 600 square feet.

Its also the noisiest unit Ive tested so far.
And skip it if you’re gonna wanna dehumidify a smaller space or need quiet operation.
you’re able to also purchase a larger, 50-pint version that costs just $20 more .
Given its size, this unit is best suited to larger rooms with plenty of damp.
The Auto function turns the unit on and off to maintain an ideal humidity level in a room.
That usually falls between 45 and 55% humidity.
Theres also a Turbo button that fires up the unit to reduce humidity very quickly.
Another thing that is notable is the absence of an app control, which I usually find handy.
Not only did it come with handy features but gave an impressive performance.

I tested the Amazon Basics Dehumidifier in my basement bathroom, which measures about 100 square feet.
The large Amazon basics unit made short work of the humidity in this small room.
It dropped the humidity level to 41% in just 45 minutes, which is super fast.

Its also not too surprising given the size of the unit compared to the size of the room.
The unit also throws off a lot of heat.
The average room temperature in the bathroom on the day of the bathroom testing was 66 degrees.

During the 45 minutes the Amazon Basics unit operated, the room reached nearly 80 degrees.
It was clear that this unit was too large and powerful for the small bathroom.
And once again, the unit threw off a lot of heat.

During our tests, this worked quickly in small spaces, and gave a decent performance.
The only thing it lacked was an app, however, it did well to get the job done.
Its also loud, and it throws off a lot of heat.

Avoid it for smaller spaces or rooms in which the unit can affect overall comfort.
