| Our take | 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. | A real current-test 50 with published noise figures and a 2.7-gallon bucket, equal to the Midea Cube 50 on pints and efficiency. Buy it when it's priced at or below the Cube; the one-year warranty is thin. |

| Watch out for | 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. | It ships in Auto mode, which won't take a humidity setting; switch to Dry to set a target. One year parts and labor with no sealed-system term; owner reports on older Frigidaire dehumidifiers repeat coil icing and failures inside three or four years. Frigidaire's spec sheet prints 50 pints with no test condition; the 65°F rating comes from ENERGY STAR. Listings titled Frigidaire 50-Pint without a Y1 model number are older units, such as the FFAD5034W1. |
