Waykar HDCX-PD160B Dehumidifier vs Ukoke Portable Dehumidifier

The Waykar HDCX-PD160B is the stronger pick for most homes. It covers more floor area, has a larger bucket, and is Energy Star certified with a stated 45% cut in power use. The Ukoke is slightly quieter and rated for smaller rooms, but its 3.8-out-of-5 owner rating from 38 ratings is a warning sign. Both are compact portable units with auto-defrost and washable filters; the Waykar edges ahead on efficiency and coverage, the Ukoke on quiet running and a lower upfront outlay.

• Choose the Waykar HDCX-PD160B if you need to dry a large basement or open living space and want lower running costs.
• Choose the Ukoke if you want a quiet unit for a bedroom or RV and only need to cover a smaller room.
