SCORE6.5 / 10
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.

Before you buy
- 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.
