Quick list
Which one is right for you?
- For basement flooding and seeping walls: If the basement floods or walls sweat, choose a model with a pump and hose, such as the Waykar 150 Pint Commercial with Pump & Drain Hose, so condensate can move to a drain without carrying buckets. See pick 3
- For crawl space drying: A unit specified for crawl spaces, the Waykar 158 Pints Crawl Space with Pump, fits spaces with no floor drain and lists pump drainage in its features. See pick 5
- For whole-home installation: If you have ductwork and want permanent humidity control, the ALORAIR Sentinel WHD200 is sold as a whole-house model and should be installed by an HVAC professional. See pick 11
- For restoration and water damage work: Mobile crews can use the ALORAIR 180 Pint Water Damage unit with pump and drain hose; it is listed for crawl spaces and basements. See pick 15

How we chose these
We compared 19 listed dehumidifiers whose sellers identify them as 150 pints or more per day. The shortlist keeps one listing per useful combination of stated features whenever possible, favors units from established makers, and leaves out configurations that duplicate another pick's role. Awards are based solely on the listed specifications: capacity in the product name, pump, drain hose, Energy Star, basement, crawl space, commercial, whole house, LGR, WiFi, and stated coverage area. Prices on this page are read live from the store listing with a timestamp; the pool file is regenerated outside this article and kept for less than 24 hours. No unit was tested. If a specification is absent from a listing, it is marked as not stated by the seller.
What to look for
Capacity: what a 150 pint model means
DOE's current test procedure measures portable dehumidifiers at 65°F rather than 80°F, so today's stated capacities are generally lower than pre-2020 figures. ENERGY STAR's sizing chart suggests at least 50 pints per day for a wet large room. A unit listed at 150 pints or more is therefore aimed at very wet, large, or hard-to-dry spaces, not at a normal-sized living room.
Pump, drain hose, or bucket
Most portable dehumidifiers collect water in a bucket that you empty, and some accept a hose for gravity drainage to a floor drain. ENERGY STAR describes hose fittings that can be directed into a floor drain or sump pump. If the space has no floor drain or the drain is above the unit, a pump is useful because it can push water upward. The seller's listed features in this guide tell you which combination each pick has: pump, drain hose, both, or neither.
Basement, crawl space, or whole house
Basement-listed models are intended for wet, below-grade rooms. Crawl space models in this guide are listed for low, confined spaces, often with pump or drain hose fittings. Whole-house models are a separate category: ENERGY STAR says they are typically installed to use the home's air ducts, often by an HVAC professional. Match the label to the space you actually need to dry, and expect to plan the drain before installation.
Energy Star and humidity control
ENERGY STAR certified dehumidifiers use about 20% less energy than similarly sized conventional units. CDC recommends keeping indoor humidity as low as you can, no higher than 50%, all day, and says an air conditioner or dehumidifier will help you keep the level low. Three of the 19 listings in the pool carry an Energy Star label in their product names; all three are Waykar models, and one is our overall pick.
When a specification is missing
Some listings publish only partial specifications. When a feature such as WiFi, drain hose, or a coverage area is missing from the pool file, this guide says 'not stated by the seller' rather than guessing. Before buying, compare the full product listing page and check whether the maker publishes a spec sheet.
Questions
Is a 150 pint dehumidifier too large for a normal home?
For a finished living area, 150 pints is usually more capacity than a small room needs. ENERGY STAR's sizing guidance recommends at least 40 pints per day for a very damp large room and at least 50 pints for a wet large room. The 150 pint class is better matched to unfinished basements, crawl spaces, commercial spaces, or very large open areas where the extra capacity shortens drying time.
Should I choose a model with a pump or a drain hose?
A drain hose lets condensate flow by gravity to a floor drain. A pump adds the ability to push water to a higher drain, such as a laundry sink or an exterior line. The picks in this guide are split among pump-only, drain-hose-only, and pump-plus-hose combinations. Check your drain height before choosing: if the drain is below the unit, gravity works; if it is above, a pump is the safer listed feature.
What is an LGR dehumidifier?
LGR is the low-grain-refrigerant label used on several commercial-style listings in this pool. On this page, we only apply the LGR term when the seller's own listing states it. The ALORAIR 170 PPD, the ALORAIR commercial pump unit with memory starting, and the Waykar 150 Pints Commercial LGR are all marked that way. If you need an LGR unit for restoration work, those are the picks to compare.
Do Energy Star 150 pint models exist?
Yes. In the pool behind this guide, three Waykar listings carry an Energy Star label, including one of our picks, the Waykar 150 Pint 2025 Energy Star with Pump. ENERGY STAR says certified dehumidifiers use about 20% less energy than comparable conventional units. If an efficiency label matters more than a pump, compare the Energy Star models at the top of this guide.
Will a 150 pint dehumidifier work in a cold basement?
DOE's test procedure measures portable dehumidifiers at 65°F, and ENERGY STAR warns that frost can form on coils below that temperature, causing the compressor to cycle. If your basement regularly sits below 65°F, look for a listing that mentions low-temperature operation or an anti-frost feature, and plan to run the unit only when temperatures are warm enough.
