The 7 best small dehumidifiers for fighting dampness. Tested and reviewed

Best Overall Small Dehumidifier

Gocheer Upgraded Air Dehumidifier

I realized the Gocheer Upgraded Air Dehumidifier is the best small dehumidifier just minutes after plugging it in. It has a 68-ounce tank, which can extract moisture in spaces up to 800 square feet while remaining compact and lightweight enough to fit on my nightstand. Of the seven small dehumidifiers I tested, it was the quickest at dehumidifying my 600-square-foot studio apartment.

There’s a drain hose for those who wish to run it continuously, so you don’t have to drain the tank every few hours, and seven-night light colors for added ambiance. My only knock against it is you can hear it when it’s on high-speed mode, though there’s a sleep mode that drops the noise to below 15 decibels, quieter than the sound of leaves rustling. The sleep mode, however, is turned off, and the machine returns to high-speed mode after nine hours.

Pros

• Large 68-ounce tank dehumidifies up to 800 square feet
• Included drain hose for continuous use
• Sleep mode
• Auto shut-off

Cons

• High-speed mode is a bit loud
