Why it matters
The avylo Max 90 Dehumidifier is a crawl space and basement dehumidifier with a 2.11 gallons bucket, rated for 4500 square feet and removing up to 90 pints per day a day.
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 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 235 watts, running non-stop uses about 5.6 kWh a day; in practice the compressor cycles off once the room reaches the set humidity.
Its rated area of 4,500 square feet is above the middle of the range we cover: 61 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 cheapest 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.

Pros and cons
Pros
- 90 pints per day removal
- 2.11 gallons bucket
- Rated for 4500 square feet
Cons
- Needs regular cleaning to stay hygienic
Limitations to weigh
- Not stated on the avylo Max 90 Dehumidifier listing: airflow. Ask the seller or check the manual before relying on it.
- Pints-per-day figures depend on the test conditions; since 2019 the US test uses cooler, drier air, so newer ratings look smaller than older ones for the same machine.
