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: 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
