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
- Maker page: SKU HME021001N, 1.6 gal tank, 11 D x 15.4 W x 24.3 H in, 1-year warranty
- Manual: pump hose 1/4 in outer diameter, 16.4 ft long, 16.4 ft (5 m) maximum lift
- Manual: working environment 41°F to 90°F; auto defrost; R32 refrigerant
- Manual: gravity drain needs a drain below the outlet; hoses over 5 ft may not drain
- Manual: bucket cleaned every two weeks; do not run without the air filter
- Amazon table: 30.5 lb, 135 CFM, listing bullet says 188/218 CFM
Strengths
- Pump draining is specified to a 16.4 ft lift, so the drain can be above the unit
- Maker page, manual index and supplied manual all agree on SKU HME021001N and part HME020030N
- 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

Ivation IVADDH06 13-Pint Desiccant Dehumidifier
Cold rooms, garages and attics where a compressor unit stalls
A zeolite desiccant dehumidifier that keeps working from 33°F to 104°F, rated 13 pints a day at 68°F and 60% humidity. It warms the room slightly and draws 470 watts on high. The manual says the continuous drain hose is not included, despite the listing title.
Published specifications
- Manual: 13 pints/day at 68°F and 60% RH; operating range 33°F to 104°F
- Manual: desiccant (zeolite) rotor, no compressor and no refrigerant
- Manual: water tank 0.5 gal (1.8 L); power 470 W high / 280 W low at 120 V 60 Hz
- Manual: continuous drain needs a 7/16 in inner-diameter hose, not included
- Manual: clean the air filter every two weeks; do not run without the filter
- Manual: 10.6 x 6.85 x 17.35 in; limited one-year warranty, household use only
Strengths
- Keeps working down to 33°F, where compressor dehumidifiers ice up and stall
- The manual states the test condition (68°F, 60% RH) behind the 13-pint figure
- Timer, swing louvre, dimmable display and a washable filter with a blocked-airflow warning
Caveats
- The listing says the drain hose is included; the manual says it is not and needs a knockout removed
- 470 watts on high is high for a 13-pint unit, and the process warms the room
- Ivation publishes no readable maker page for this model, so the paper trail is one document
