Model comparison

Compare dehumidifier specifications

Four exact US models across 22-, 35- and 50-pint classes. This is a researched specification comparison; it contains no test scores or best-overall winner.

Choose a starting capacity with the size selector, then compare the drainage and temperature requirements. A similar IEF does not establish identical performance in your room.

Scroll the comparison horizontally on a small screen. Unknown means not verified for this exact model, not that a feature is absent.

What to check nextThe manual limits pump lift to 14 feet and excludes pump operation in bucketless mode. Bucket volume and rated watts have not been verified for this exact -A variant.There is no built-in pump. The published 360 watts is a specification, not measured household consumption. No comparative noise or extraction test was performed.The smaller bucket is not a prediction of emptying frequency. The upper operating-temperature limit has not been verified here; do not borrow it from the 35-pint model.Pump lift, gravity-drain provision, bucket volume, rated watts and upper temperature limit remain unverified. The manufacturer page showed sold out when researched; check availability directly.

What the numbers can tell you

¹ Certified values come from each exact ENERGY STAR record. Nominal classes are the manufacturer’s labels. The figures are standardized measurements, not a promise of daily collection in your home. These four products form a deliberately small reference set, not a market-wide assessment.

² Published watts support an illustrative cost scenario. Lower watts alone do not establish a lower cost for the same amount of drying. Bucket volume also does not predict emptying frequency.

How to use this comparison

If you have a suitable lower drain, the two Frigidaire models provide documented continuous-drain options in different capacity classes. If the route needs a pump, Midea and TCL are starting candidates to investigate. Midea’s verified manual provides a 14-foot pump limit; TCL’s pump lift remains unresolved here. That documentation difference is useful for planning, but it is not a performance ranking.

We have not compared noise, durability or real-room extraction. Read the exact manual and check official recall information before purchase, particularly for a used appliance. Prices are omitted because there is no verified live price feed.
