And when you step indoors, you don\u2019t want that humid feeling to follow you. A dehumidifier made for small rooms can help you avoid having that sticky, muggy air lingering in your space, whether you live in a cozy (read: little) house or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/select\/shopping\/best-renter-friendly-upgrades-rcna202615\" target=\"_blank\">apartment<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-5d0455\" class=\"body-graf\">While a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/select\/shopping\/best-humidifiers-rcna185328\" target=\"_blank\">humidifier<\/a> provides health benefits by increasing levels of humidity, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/select\/shopping\/best-dehumidifer-rcna344746\" target=\"_blank\">dehumidifier<\/a> reduces moisture in the air, which can also be comforting, depending on things like the weather or if you\u2019re feeling ill.

instead of having several for separate rooms, this one from Midea would be a great option. It\u2019s a refrigerant dehumidifier instead of a thermoelectric model, meaning it uses a compressor to convert humid air into moisture that it then collects in a water tank. It holds up to 3 gallons of water and works for up to 1,500 square feet, so it would work well in a small apartment or large basement. The wheeled appliance has smart features and app compatibility, so it works with Amazon Alexa. It also has a handle on the side, so it\u2019s easy to move from its spot when it\u2019s time to empty it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/select\/shopping\/best-dehumidifiers-for-small-rooms-rcna591149#anchor-a71010\" id=\"anchor-a71010\" class=\"scrollLink\"><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"body-heading\">Best compact <\/h3>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"anchor-8453a7\">\n<div id=\"rcpd77401\" class=\"styles_product__lnrKX\" data-testid=\"article-product-unit\">\n<div class=\"listicleProduct dn-print  product__grid-container--small\" data-activity-map=\"listicle-product-article-body-eva-dry-mini-dehumidifier\" data-testid=\"product-container\">\n<div class=\"product__grid-row\">\n<div class=\"product__border\">\n<div class=\"df flex-column items-stretch product__card-container flex-row-m\">\n<div class=\"product__pictureLink product__picture-link db-m dn\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B000H0XFCS?tag=dehumidifiersforsmallroomrcna591149-20\" data-product-id=\"rcpd77401\" data-aps-asc-tag=\"dehumidifiersforsmallroomrcna591149-20\" data-aps-asin=\"B000H0XFCS\" rel=\"sponsored noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" data-testid=\"product-picture-link\" class=\"w-100\"><picture class=\"\" data-testid=\"picture\" data-flavor=\"fit\" data-original-height=\"500\" data-original-width=\"500\"><source media=\"(min-width: 1240px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-260w,f_avif,q_auto:eco,dpr_2\/rockcms\/2026-08\/AMAZON-Eva-Dry-Wireless-Mini-Dehumidifier-White-E-333-57e6af.jpg 2x, https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-260w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2026-08\/AMAZON-Eva-Dry-Wireless-Mini-Dehumidifier-White-E-333-57e6af.jpg 1x\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 1000px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-260w,f_avif,q_auto:eco,dpr_2\/rockcms\/2026-08\/AMAZON-Eva-Dry-Wireless-Mini-Dehumidifier-White-E-333-57e6af.jpg 2x, https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-260w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2026-08\/AMAZON-Eva-Dry-Wireless-Mini-Dehumidifier-White-E-333-57e6af.jpg 1x\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 758px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-360w,f_avif,q_auto:eco,dpr_2\/rockcms\/2026-08\/AMAZON-Eva-Dry-Wireless-Mini-Dehumidifier-White-E-333-57e6af.jpg 2x, https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-360w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2026-08\/AMAZON-Eva-Dry-Wireless-Mini-Dehumidifier-White-E-333-57e6af.jpg 1x\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 320px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-320w,f_avif,q_auto:eco,dpr_2\/rockcms\/2026-08\/AMAZON-Eva-Dry-Wireless-Mini-Dehumidifier-White-E-333-57e6af.jpg 2x, https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-320w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2026-08\/AMAZON-Eva-Dry-Wireless-Mini-Dehumidifier-White-E-333-57e6af.jpg 1x\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-320w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2026-08\/AMAZON-Eva-Dry-Wireless-Mini-Dehumidifier-White-E-333-57e6af.jpg\" alt=\"Eva-Dry Mini Dehumidifier\" height=\"500\" width=\"500\"\/><\/picture><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"styles_accordion__Z2nEy styles_accordion__Z_3zC undefined styles_closed__PAn2s\" data-testid=\"accordion\" data-title=\"What to know\">\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-button\" class=\"styles_accordion__content__09JIS styles_accordion__content__NO3i2 styles_closed__PAn2s\" data-testid=\"accordion__content\" role=\"region\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<p><strong>Type:<\/strong> <span><em>desiccant <\/em><\/span>\u00a0| <strong>Capacity:<\/strong> <span><em>6 ounces<\/em><\/span>\u00a0| <strong>Additional features:<\/strong> <span><em>has silica gel beads that change color, has a hook<\/em><\/span>\u00a0| <strong>Dimensions:<\/strong> <span><em>6.25 x 1.25 x 4.75 in.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"styles_prosConsContainer__bhblj\" data-testid=\"listicle-product__pros-cons-container\" data-activity-map=\"product-article-body-eva-dry-mini-dehumidifier\">\n<div class=\"styles_prosConsChild__qnk7K\">\n<p>What we like<\/p>\n<ul class=\"styles_prosConsItems__rVNhO\">\n<li>Portable<\/li>\n<li>Helps prevent mildew<\/li>\n<li>Plug-in design<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"styles_prosConsChild__qnk7K\">\n<p>Something to note<\/p>\n<ul class=\"styles_prosConsItems__rVNhO\">\n<li>Only for up to 330 cubic feet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"anchor-3e6457\" class=\"body-graf\">This small portable dehumidifier from Eva-Dry works differently than all of the options above \u2014 it\u2019s a plug in device that has beads made from silica gel (instead of a water tank) that change color as the device absorbs moisture from the air.

Plus, making a room less humid can help certain electronic devices and items made from delicate material (like wood or ones that rust) avoid being damaged by excess humidity, according to Leezer. Overly humid areas in the home can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/mold\/brief-guide-mold-moisture-and-your-home\" target=\"_blank\">lead to mold growth<\/a> because materials absorb moisture and aren\u2019t drying fast enough. <\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-65df84\" class=\"body-graf\"><em>*Any inclusion of Midea products in this story was made independently of Leezer and Rossetto, who we only consulted for shopping tips and guidance. We did not ask Leezer for product recommendations from Midea.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/select\/shopping\/best-dehumidifiers-for-small-rooms-rcna591149#anchor-9f2dd5\" id=\"anchor-9f2dd5\" class=\"scrollLink\"><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"body-heading\">How I picked the best dehumidifiers for small rooms<\/h2>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-a1b513\" class=\"body-graf\">I rounded up a few important factors that experts recommended I take into consideration when making the list of dehumidifiers below:<\/p>\n<ul id=\"anchor-98dbc5\" class=\"break-above body-ul body-list-el\">\n<li><strong>Type: <\/strong>There are a few different types of dehumidifiers to know about when shopping, says Leezer. \u201dThe most common is called a mechanical or refrigerant dehumidifier. This type uses the same physics and parts as an air conditioner, just in a slightly different way,\u201d he says. \u201cMechanical dehumidifiers are most beneficial because they can work in large rooms or spaces.\u201d Additionally, there are desiccant-based dehumidifiers, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B000H0XFCS\" target=\"_blank\">Eva-Dry Mini Dehumidifier<\/a>,  that use moisture absorbing materials, like silica gel, to absorb water rather than a tank. There are also thermoelectric dehumidifiers, which Leezer says are best for very small areas since they can only extract small amounts of moisture, which is why most of the options above are thermoelectric. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Water tank: <\/strong>When it comes to shopping for a dehumidifier for a small room, \u201cthe best products will balance small footprints with a large water tank, energy efficiency, low noise operation and smart connectivity,\u201d says Caroline Rossetto*, product marketing director at Midea. A large water tank means it will be able to absorb more water at a time and you won\u2019t be emptying the tank as often. All of the options on the list above (except the Eva-Dry) have a water tank with a capacity of at least 16 ounces. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Low noise: <\/strong>Another important feature for a dehumidifier for a small room, such as a bedroom where you\u2019ll be sleeping, is low noise. Several of the models that I featured above mention having technology that allows the dehumidifier to work and absorb water quietly, with around 35 decibels of sound. Many people who bought the dehumidifiers above mention how quiet they are. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Energy efficiency: <\/strong>A dehumidifier that is energy efficient is also important, since it can help you save on energy bills, particularly if it\u2019s Energy Star certified, according to Rosetto.<strong> <\/strong>While not all the appliances featured above are Energy Star certified, some are still described as energy efficient by their respective brands. And since the dehumidifiers above are meant for small rooms, they don\u2019t use as much energy as ones meant for a large area or home.
