This 40-pint dehumidifier from DeLonghi dramatically reduces moisture in the air and can be programmed to suit a variety of needs. Operating at temperatures as low as 44 degrees F, the unit is useful all over the house, especially in cool basements, cellars, and garages. Built with its intake and outtake grilles on the sides, the machine offers flexible positioning without inhibited airflow. Plus, you can choose from two methods of water removal--either continuous disposal through a connector hose or tank collection with periodic emptying. In addition to collecting water out of the air, the unit uses an antibacterial FreshZone filter to trap airborne particulates. This both improves the quality of the dehumidified air and lengthens the life of the dehumidifier.

The control panel on this model is efficiently designed, marked with indicator lights, and protected by a transparent hatch. A rotating dial lets you select humidity level, with options ranging from "econ" to "comfort" to "continuous" to "dry." The machine also has two fan speeds. DeLonghi includes a tank-control safety device to prevent overflow caused by a blocked hose or full tank. At 58 pounds, the unit is definitely substantial, but double wheels and top handles make moving it easy. Outfitted with a 6-1/2-foot hose, it measures 14-1/2 by 14-3/4 by 24 inches. --Emily Bedard
