| Our take | A current-test 50 with a built-in pump, a top-lift bucket and a 38°F floor, three degrees below most portables. Buy it for a cool basement with nowhere to gravity-drain, and confirm the warranty first; with a drain below the unit, the cheaper Cube does the same job. | A certified 50 that runs down to 38°F, with Wi-Fi and in-home warranty service. Run it on a hose, because the 14.3-pint bucket fills in about seven hours, and expect it to rest for an hour after every 23 hours of nonstop running. |

| Watch out for | The black ADH50KP26 is also titled Lift-Up on Amazon, but its ENERGY STAR record and listed size match the taller ADH50K26; look for ALDH50KP26 in the listing details. The manual documents no gravity drain, so a failed pump leaves you emptying an 18-pint bucket about every 8.7 hours at the rated pace. Clean the pump's water filter when the Water light comes on (every 30 hours of pump run time); a clogged filter or kinked hose stops the unit with EB. Owner reports on older Hisense 50-pints include new units leaking out the bottom and refrigerant loss within one to three seasons. | LG's 'about 50 pints' footnote is a Boost-mode test; Boost runs high fan and returns to Auto after an hour. The certified figure is ENERGY STAR's 49.81. After 23 hours of nonstop running it stops for an hour, which caps a nonstop day at about 47.7 pints at the rated pace. The 14.3-pint bucket fills in about 7 hours at the rated pace; plan on the gravity hose or a condensate pump. The white DT501BWR0 is the same ENERGY STAR-listed machine; buy whichever color is cheaper. |
