  • I am a new homeowner who has a moist basement. I have an area to keep a dehumidifier plugged in and drain right into the sump pump. I'm asking for the best dehumidifier and/or the best value (quality per cost). I'd like it to be mostly silent (but not totally necessary as the basement is only half finished and no one sleeps down there) and as eco friendly as possible.

Hello, this is a bit late but I thought I could add to the answer above.

We recently bought the Meaco Low Energy (on the recommendation of this site https://choosedehumidifier.co.uk/refrigerant/meaco-low-energy/) for pretty much the exact purpose you describe. Our basement was extremely damp and needed to be dry, but we didn’t want to waste too much energy because no-one really goes down there.

The Meaco dried out the basement in a few days and then maintains it at a constant humidity (we keep this fairly high but low enough to reduce condensation). Plus it has a drainage hose feature which it sounds like you need. We definitely recommend it!

A cool tool can be any book, gadget, software, video, map, hardware, material, or website that is tried and true. All reviews on this site are written by readers who have actually used the tool and others like it. Items can be either old or new as long as they are wonderful. We post things we like and ignore the rest. Suggestions for tools much better than what is recommended here are always wanted.
