How we pick. Certified portable models rated 20–25 pints a day. That’s the smallest size the ENERGY STAR table suggests. Each one is sold by a store we link to. One pick per need: no app, EPA Most Efficient, and a Wi-Fi app. Within each need, the lowest yearly energy use wins, then the higher efficiency. Stores never pay for a place.

What people ask before buying
How small do certified dehumidifiers get?
The EPA lists 61 certified portables rated under 20 pints a day, 20 of them at 10 pints or under. The ENERGY STAR table doesn’t suggest those sizes for any room, which is why the picks here start at 20 pints.
EPA list, Oct 15, 2026Do mini dehumidifiers work?
The certified list can’t tell you, because they aren’t on it. The program’s definition, taken from federal rules, is a refrigerated unit. It has a cold coil that condenses moisture, a refrigerating system with an electric motor, a fan, and a way to collect the water.
Mini units built another way, such as thermoelectric ones, don’t match that description. None is certified, so none has an EPA figure to compare.
ENERGY STAR Dehumidifiers specification, Version 6.0, in effect Oct 1, 2025Is 20 pints too much for a small room?
Not by the ENERGY STAR table. It has no row under 20 pints, and it says it’s better to oversize than undersize. A room that feels damp all the time moves up to 25–40.
ENERGY STAR sizing guidance, read Oct 5, 2026What does a small unit cost to run?
The 151 certified 20–25 pint models use 242 to 314 kWh a year. At the median, 285 kWh, that’s about $52 a year at the U.S. average and $36 in Louisiana.
