Is 30 pints enough for a basement?

It is rated for up to 2,000 square feet, which suits moderately damp basements. Very wet or large spaces are better served by a 50-pint or larger unit.

Can it drain continuously?

Yes. It has a continuous drain option, so you can attach a hose and skip emptying the tank.

Waykar rates it at 35 dB, which is quiet for a compressor dehumidifier. Most owners say it is quiet enough for a bedroom.

Does it work in cold rooms?

It is a compressor unit, so it removes less moisture as temperatures drop. Unheated spaces below about 60°F are better served by a desiccant dehumidifier.

How does it compare with a 50-pint model?

It removes less water per day and covers less area, but it is smaller and quieter. Choose the larger unit for very damp or open spaces.

The dehumidifier itself, with the drain option built in. A hose for continuous draining is not included.

Our take on the Waykar 30 Pint Dehumidifier for Home

The Waykar 30 Pint is a compressor dehumidifier rated to pull up to 30 pints of moisture a day at 95°F and 90% RH, with Energy Star certification and coverage up to 2,000 square feet. It has an adjustable humidistat, a continuous drain option and a quiet 35 dB rating. It suits damp basements, bedrooms and small apartments where a smaller unit can keep up. Against 50-pint and 70-pint rivals it removes less water per day, so it is best for moderately damp rooms rather than very wet crawl spaces. Owners rate it 4.4 out of 5 across 1,783 ratings, with most praise for quiet running and easy setup and some complaints about longevity and the tank filling fast.
