Waykar 150 Pint Dehumidifier vs Waykar CHWA Dehumidifier with Pump

Both are 150-pint Energy Star basement dehumidifiers with auto defrost, a 24-hour timer, power outage restart, three fan speeds and a child lock. The A unit has the bigger tank (2.38 gal vs about 1.45 gal) and a built-in pump with 16 ft lift, so it drains upward to a sink or window without a separate pump. B is smaller and lighter at 32.6 lbs, runs at 262 W and 45 dB, and has far more owner feedback (76 ratings at 4.7 vs 22 at 4.9). Buy A if you want the larger tank and pump built in; buy B if you want a lighter unit and a longer track record.

• Choose the 150-pint Waykar with pump if you need to drain upward to a sink, window or floor drain, or want to empty the bucket less often.
• Choose the CHWA Series if you want a lighter, more compact unit with a longer record of owner ratings and can drain by gravity or add your own pump.
