Basements where water must be pumped up to a sink
This 50-pint Cube adds a pump rated to lift water 14 feet, but it only starts once the bucket reaches its top fill level of about 4.25 gallons. It needs eight inches of space all round and sixteen at the outlet, weekly bucket checks and a separate pump filter clean.

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
