Why it matters
The ALORAIR Storm LGR Extreme Dehumidifier is a crawl space and basement dehumidifier, rated for 2300 square feet.
Aim for 40 to 60 percent relative humidity indoors: drier air irritates airways and skin, wetter air feeds dust mites and mold.
The listing names app control and a built-in condensate pump.
A condensate pump pushes water up and out through a hose, to a sink, a window or a drain above floor level, so the unit never stops for a full bucket.
At its stated 646 watts, running non-stop uses about 15.5 kWh a day; in practice the compressor cycles off once the room reaches the set humidity.
Its rated area of 2,300 square feet is below the middle of the range we cover: 39 of the 99 dehumidifiers with a stated figure come in lower, and the range runs from 110 square feet to 7,500 square feet.
Price-wise it sat in the dearest third of the 25 basement / crawlspace models we cover when we checked; the button shows today's price.
It qualifies for our lists Best Dehumidifiers for Basements, Best Crawl Space Dehumidifiers, where it is ranked against every model that meets the same rule.
Compared with the ALORAIR Pump 1300 Dehumidifier: rated room size 2300 square feet here vs 1300 square feet; power draw 646 watts here vs 500 watts.
