hOmeLabs 50-Pint Wi-Fi Dehumidifier with Pump, up to 7,500 sq ft
Basements where the drain is above the unit, not below it
The pump version of the hOmeLabs 50-pint, sold for 7,500 sq ft. Its manual gives a 16.4 ft maximum pumping height and a 41-90°F working range, but restricts pump features to a different model number in the same family. Confirm the pump hardware with hOmeLabs before you rely on it.
Published specifications

Strengths

- Comfort mode, 24-hour timer, auto defrost and auto restart are all documented
Caveats
- The supplied manual restricts every pump feature to model HME021004N, not this one
- Amazon's Model Name and Model Number fields say HME1004, from a different manual family
- The pump leaves water sitting in the bucket by design, so the bucket still needs emptying
