Dehumidifier for Basement 85 oz — 800 sq ft 🏠
Description:
This compact dehumidifier is designed to control humidity in small spaces like basements, bedrooms, and bathrooms while staying quiet enough for nighttime use. With an 85 oz (2.5 L) tank and capacity to cover up to 800 sq ft, it reduces excess moisture and can operate continuously via the included drain hose, making it practical for rooms that need ongoing humidity control.
Key Points
The unit operates at under 30 dB according to the manufacturer, so it is suitable for light sleepers and nurseries. It includes an auto shut-off feature that activates when the 85 oz (2.5 L) water tank reaches capacity, indicated by a red light to prevent overflow. A built-in handle and a lightweight body of about 5.2 lbs make relocation between closets, bathrooms, or RVs simple. The dehumidifier also integrates a 7-color LED night light and a slot for a cotton filter pad to diffuse a mild scent when used with a few drops of essential oil.

Usage Recommendations
Switch to High-Power Mode for faster moisture removal when humidity is noticeably high. Use Sleep Mode combined with the timer options of 8, 16, or 24 hours for overnight operation to keep noise to a minimum. For continuous, unattended use place the drain hose into a nearby drain or bucket to avoid frequent emptying of the tank. Adding a few drops of essential oil to the included cotton pad will introduce a gentle fragrance while the unit runs, though the scent diffusion is subtle.
Positive Aspects
This model offers flexible drainage choices with both manual tank removal and continuous drainage via hose, which reduces maintenance. The compact footprint fits into tight spaces where moisture problems often start, and the light weight encourages moving it between rooms as needed. Consider that semiconductor technology makes it quieter and more compact than compressor-based models, but performance in very cold or very large spaces may be more limited according to the manufacturer.
