Ivation IVADDH06 13-Pint Desiccant Dehumidifier vs Waykar JD025CE-80 ENERGY STAR Dehumidifier
These are side-by-side facts taken from each product guide: published specifications, strengths and caveats as their sources state them. This page is not a test, a ranking or a verdict about which model is better.
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

Waykar JD025CE-80 ENERGY STAR Dehumidifier
A damp basement with a floor drain below the unit
Waykar's 80-pint figure is measured at 95°F and 90% humidity. The EPA's ENERGY STAR listing for the same model, matched by UPC, rates it at 24.9 pints a day under the DOE test method, with 299 kWh a year and HFC-32 refrigerant. The 1.14-gallon tank is small, so plan on the gravity hose.
Published specifications
- Maker page: capacity 80 pints/day at 95°F and 90% RH, up to 5,000 sq ft
- ENERGY STAR: 24.9 pints/day under the DOE Appendix X1 test method
- ENERGY STAR: 299 kWh/year, integrated energy factor 1.7 L/kWh, HFC-32 refrigerant
- ENERGY STAR: certified yes, Most Efficient no; Waykar's FAQ says Most Efficient 2023 only
- Maker page: 1.14 gal tank, gravity drain supported (3.3 ft), auto defrost
- Maker page: 13.86 x 10.71 x 21.89 in, 33.55 lb; Amazon table gives different figures
Strengths
- An EPA ENERGY STAR record exists for this exact model and gives the DOE-rated capacity
- Gravity drain hose and a standard 3/4 inch garden hose fitting are supplied
- Waykar publishes a per-model manual and a second warranty year on registration
Caveats
- The advertised 80 pints is a 95°F saturation figure; the DOE-rated capacity is 24.9 pints a day
- The maker's manual is a scan we could not read, so clearance and filter intervals are unverified here
- Maker and listing disagree on size, weight and hose length, and gravity draining needs a lower drain
