Why it matters
The Kesnos JD-N Dehumidifier is a portable dehumidifier with a 1.06 gallons bucket, rated for 6500 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 Energy Star qualification.
At its stated 355 watts, running non-stop uses about 8.5 kWh a day; in practice the compressor cycles off once the room reaches the set humidity.
Its rated area of 6,500 square feet is one of the largest ratings we cover: 92 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 52 portable models we cover when we checked; the button shows today's price.
It qualifies for our list Best Dehumidifiers for Basements, where it is ranked against every model that meets the same rule.
