About this site
- Name: DehumidifiersGuide.com (https://dehumidifiersguide.com/)
- Topic: dehumidifier buying guides, sizing help, brand reviews and indoor humidity advice for U.S. homes.
- Author: Dave Harrison. Dave Harrison started using dehumidifiers at home and spent a long time learning how they really work: sizing, drainage, energy use and what the spec sheets do and do not tell you. He built DehumidifiersGuide.com to share that research and save other people the guesswork. He is not an HVAC engineer and does not lab-test units; every guide is built from maker spec sheets, ENERGY STAR records and published independent tests, with the sources linked.
- Pages: 50 guides plus site pages. Full list: HTML sitemap, sitemap.xml, llms.txt.

How the information is sourced
- Product specs come from maker spec sheets and manuals, ENERGY STAR certified product records, Amazon listings for the exact model, and openly published independent measurements (for example RTINGS and HouseFresh noise tests). Each product card lists its sources.
- We do not lab-test products. Pages never claim hands-on testing.
- Health and humidity guidance is cited to public bodies such as the EPA and ENERGY STAR, and to medical organizations where relevant.
- Where sources disagree or a fact could not be verified, the page says so instead of guessing.
Data conventions
- Capacity: portable dehumidifier pints per day are the current DOE rating at 65F and 60% RH unless marked otherwise. Crawl space, whole-home and commercial units are usually rated at the AHAM condition (80F, 60% RH) or at saturation (90F, 90% RH); pages label which one.
- Efficiency: integrated energy factor (IEF, liters per kWh) and yearly kWh come from ENERGY STAR records.
- Running cost: estimates use 18.2 cents per kWh as an average U.S. residential rate; real costs vary.
- Prices: shown as price tiers, never exact prices, because prices change.
- Humidity target: 30% to 50% indoors, per EPA guidance.
