ALORAIR Helios MP35 Dehumidifier with Pump, 70-Pint Capacity
Product description
Some moisture-control jobs call for simple room-by-room use, others need a unit suited to crawl spaces, basements or commercial areas. The ALORAIR Helios MP35 is designed for the latter, with a built-in pump and coverage up to 1,000 sq. ft.
Its capacity is rated at up to 70 pints per day under saturated conditions, or 35 pints per day under AHAM standards. Automatic operation, automatic defrost and GPP mode support humidity management with less hands-on adjustment.
Where would a dehumidifier sit if the nearest drain is higher than the unit? The integrated pump can discharge water vertically, giving you more flexibility when planning drainage.

The capacity figures describe two different rating conditions, so they help set expectations for the space and conditions in which the unit will operate. For a practical installation, gravity drainage can run to a nearby floor drain, where the water needs to move upwards, the pump can discharge vertically up to 19.6 ft. The casing is designed for environments where dust and moisture are part of the job.
Who it’s for
The Helios MP35 is suited to homeowners managing moisture in a crawl space, basement, garage or attic, as well as commercial and industrial settings within its stated coverage. It offers a more installation-focused approach than moving a basic room unit from one spot to another: a built-in pump gives drainage options for spaces where a floor drain is not conveniently located.
Automatic defrost and automatic operation make it practical for ongoing humidity control. The unit also restarts automatically and retains its previous settings after a power outage. Buyers describe setup as easy and share positive impressions of the unit, feedback on operating noise is mixed, so the sound experience varies by user and setting.
What you get
The package includes the Helios MP35 dehumidifier and a gravity drain hose for continuous drainage to a nearby floor drain. If the installation calls for upward water removal instead, the integrated pump can discharge water vertically up to 19.6 ft. Optional accessories listed by the manufacturer include a remote control and a hanging kit, the hanging kit is intended to reduce vibration and operating noise when properly installed.
Practical questions
How should I interpret the 70-pint capacity? It is the maximum listed under saturated conditions. The separate AHAM rating is 35 pints per day, providing a second capacity figure under that standard.
Can it drain when the outlet is above the unit? Yes. The built-in pump can move water vertically up to 19.6 ft. For a nearby floor drain, the included gravity hose provides a continuous-drain option.
Does it resume operation after a power outage? The unit is designed to restart automatically and retain its previous settings when power returns.
Final verdict
Choose the ALORAIR Helios MP35 when the task is sustained moisture control in a crawl space, basement, garage or similar work area. Its 70-pint saturated-condition capacity, pump-assisted drainage and automatic operation bring together the features that matter for a more flexible installation.
