Our take on the Waykar 34 pt. Energy Star Dehumidifier with Drain Hose and Bucket

The Waykar 34 Pt is a compressor dehumidifier rated to pull 34 pints of moisture a day at 95°F and 90% relative humidity, with a 4.8-pint bucket and a drain hose for continuous draining. It is Energy Star certified, draws about 230 watts, and runs as quiet as 33 dB on its low auto comfort setting. It rolls on 360° wheels and works down to 41°F with auto-defrost. It suits a basement or a whole floor better than a single damp closet.

Pros
  • Energy Star certified and rated to cut power use about 45%
  • Quiet on low auto comfort mode at under 33 dB
  • Drain hose included for set-and-forget draining
  • 360° wheels make a 22 lb unit easy to move
  • Auto-defrost keeps it running in cool spaces down to 41°F
Cons
  • 34-pint rating is measured at 95°F and 90% RH, so real-world output is lower in cool basements
  • No built-in pump, so the drain hose needs gravity flow to a floor drain
  • 4.8-pint bucket fills fast in very wet air
  • Compressor design is less effective below 41°F

Questions and answers

Is 34 pints enough for a 2,500 sq. ft. basement?
The 34-pint rating is taken at 95°F and 90% RH, which is far hotter and wetter than most basements. In a cool, moderately damp basement expect it to handle a large room or one floor well, but a very wet 2,500 sq. ft. space may need a higher-capacity unit.
Do I need the drain hose, or can I use the bucket?
Both work. The 4.8-pint bucket is fine for a small room, but it fills quickly in heavy humidity, so most owners run the included hose to a floor drain for continuous draining.
Does it have a pump?
No. It drains by gravity through the included hose, so the outlet must sit lower than the unit. If you need to push water upward or across a room, look for a model with a built-in pump.
How loud is it?
Waykar rates it under 33 dB on low-speed auto comfort mode, which is quiet enough for a bedroom or living room. Higher fan speeds and the compressor cycling will be louder.
Will it work in a cold garage?
Only down to 41°F. Below that the compressor loses efficiency and the coil can frost, though auto-defrost protects the unit. For unheated spaces that drop near freezing, a desiccant dehumidifier is the better choice.
When is it cheapest?
Dehumidifiers sell best in spring and summer, so prices tend to be lowest in fall and winter and during Energy Star or spring-cleaning promotions. Watch the price history rather than buying at the first sign of damp weather.
