Is the tank 22.5 pints or 94.5 pints?

The name says 22.5 pints and the spec sheet says 94.5 pints. Treat the smaller figure as the tank and confirm with the seller before buying, since the two numbers cannot both be right.

How much moisture does it remove per day?

Costway rates it at 65 pints per day at high humidity. Real output drops in cooler, drier rooms, so expect less in a cool basement.

Can it drain continuously?

Most versions accept a standard garden hose on the rear drain port for gravity drainage. The hose is usually not included.

What size room is it for?

It suits a single small room such as a bedroom, bathroom or closet. The 5,000 sq ft coverage claim is optimistic for a unit this size.

Does it work in a cold basement?

It has auto-defrost, but compressor dehumidifiers lose efficiency below about 60°F. A desiccant unit is better for cold spaces.

Costway lists 43 dB, but owners report it is louder in practice. It is fine for a utility room, less so beside a bed.

Our take on the Costway 22.5-Pint Dehumidifier

The Costway 22.5-Pint Dehumidifier is a portable compressor dehumidifier for small rooms, closets, basements and bathrooms. It has an LED display, a 6 ft cord and a slim 9-inch-deep ABS body that rolls between rooms. Costway lists a 22.5-pint tank capacity and a 65-pint daily removal rate, figures that sit awkwardly together, so check the tank size before you buy. It suits light-duty moisture control in one room; large damp basements need a bigger, higher-throughput unit.
