This model handles a full basement, not a bathroom
- Check your basement square footage against the 5,000 sq. ft. rating before buying.
- Decide whether you want the 1.06-gal tank or a continuous drain, because that choice affects placement.
This yaufey unit pulls up to 80 pints of water a day at 95°F and 90% RH, enough for basements and large living areas up to 5,000 square feet. You can set the target between 30% and 80% RH, then pick from four modes and three fan speeds.
We'd consider it for a damp basement, a finished lower level or a big open room that feels clammy all summer. The included 3.28 ft drain hose lets you skip the bucket entirely, which matters in a large space.
What $169.99 buys and how it compares
At $169.99, you're paying $34.36 less than the typical price over the last 90 days of $204.35, a 17% drop. We'd treat this as a solid entry point for a unit this size.
It's rated 4.2 out of 5 from 498 reviews, and ENERGY STAR certification means it's designed to use less energy than a standard model while pulling moisture, which helps keep your electric bill from spiking.

Set it up for the way you'll actually use it
Emptying a 1.06-gallon tank gets old fast in a wet basement, so plan on the included drain hose for continuous gravity drainage. The hose is only 3.28 feet, so the dehumidifier has to sit above your floor drain or sump; if you need more reach, a standard garden hose works but isn't included.
Built-in temperature and humidity sensors drive the display and auto-restart. The 24-hour timer is useful if you want to run it on a schedule, but you'll need to check whether your outlet is on a circuit that can handle the unit alongside other appliances.
Coverage is one year, extended by a second year if you register the product, plus lifetime technical support.
Where this one is the wrong call
Skip it if you need to dry a small bedroom or closet, since the 5,000 sq. ft. rating and 80-pint capacity are more than those spaces call for. Also skip it if you can't place it near a drain or don't want to empty a tank, because the short hose limits where gravity drainage will actually work.
Check the weight and whether you can lift it before you commit. If maneuvering a large unit into a tight crawlspace sounds difficult, a smaller model may suit you better.
