Here Are The Top 10 Best 70 Pint Dehumidifiers As Of May, 2021

Regrettably, most of its not-so-enthused reviewers complain that its drain hose setup constantly leaks and that they ended up having to empty its averagely-sized (in this category) 1.6-gallon water tank manually a couple of times per day -- a pretty big blow to a large dehumidifier like this one. Some even questioned why hOmeLabs did not just throw a perfectly-compatible hose in the package, instead of reassuring buyers that it works with most typical garden hoses. A couple of unhappy buyers protested that it ran for several days to a couple of weeks without collecting a single drop of water.

As usual for 70-pt dehumidifiers, noise was a talking point for the HME020031N. Some users claim that it has an extremely loud motor, while others say it is quieter than a lot of other units in this category and that the noise level does not jump that much between blower speeds. Of course, noise tolerance is subjective, not to mention that dehumidifiers are bound to make noise anyway.

As for its positive reviews, a good number of buyers mentioned that it works and looks great, thoroughly removing not just the moisture in their basements, but also the foul odors. Additionally, some users found its handle-equipped water bucket convenient, particularly those who decided to pass up on its drainage pump mechanism.

So, as far as our review crawler, which, by the way, read through a total of 81907 reviews for dehumidifiers in this sub-category, is concerned, the hOmeLabs HME020031N is pretty much Alphachooser's best 70 pint dehumidifier 2021. Our algorithm even threw in a confidence level of 95 (More on confidence levels) for good measure.

For instance, a couple of unhappy Amazon reviewers grumbled that the unit they received successfully removed the moisture out of the air, but leaked it all over the floor -- this is after observing that reservoirs were only about 1/3 full, when they should have been 100 percent full at that point. However, considering that more than 80% of reviewers (at the time we looked at the reviews) gave it four or five stars and since its 1-star rating count was in the normal range of below 12%, we assume that problem was still isolated to a few cases.

A few buyers complained that its water tank, which, according to them, was not designed for easy cleaning, got moldy if it does not fill up that fast -- save for leaks, water tanks tend not to fill up quickly when placed in rooms that were not that moist to begin with.

The 4.5-star FAD704DWD also has its fair share of complaints about operational noise and heat, but we've come to expect those types of comments here at Alphachooser. After all, noise and heat are consequences of owning a large dehumidifier like this one.

As for some positive feedback, a good number of users praised it for clearing the damp air and removing the foul odors of home spaces of up to 2000 square feet, although a few of them cautioned that it does not come with a pump setup, which means that users need to make sure that the drain hoses they use flow downwards. The fact that it cannot be used with an extension cord, as indicated by Amazon, also sounds questionable, though there were't many complaints about it as of this write-up. Some buyers were simply puzzled that this 70-pt dehumidifier, with its 35 percent minimum humidity and full-tank alert system, failed for some users, when it worked perfectly for them.

Anyhow, our review crawler, which weaved it way through a total of 81907 for 70-pint dehumidifiers in this category, determined that the Frigidaire FAD704DWD is an Alphachooser good choice, finding itself alongside the top 10 models in this particular category.
