Why it matters
The Hisense 25 Pint Energy Star Dehumidifier (ADH25K26) is a compact small-room dehumidifier with a 8.5 pints bucket, rated for 1500 sq ft and removing up to 25.0 pints/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.
At its full rating of about 25 pints a day, a 8-pint bucket would fill in roughly 8 hours, so in a damp basement plan on a hose or pump rather than emptying it by hand.
Its rated area of 1,500 square feet is below the middle of the range we cover: 22 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 11 compact models we cover when we checked; the button shows today's price.

Pros and cons
Pros
- 25.0 pints/day removal
- 8.5 pints bucket
- Rated for 1500 sq ft
Cons
- Needs regular cleaning to stay hygienic
Limitations to weigh
- Not stated on the Hisense 25 Pint Energy Star Dehumidifier (ADH25K26) listing: power draw, 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.
