Why it matters
The Morfy BW401C Dehumidifier is a compact small-room dehumidifier with a 80 fluid ounces bucket, rated for 500 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 a drain-hose connection.
A drain hose lets it run without emptying a bucket, as long as the hose runs downhill to a floor drain.
Its rated area of 500 square feet is one of the smallest ratings we cover: 9 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 11 compact models we cover when we checked; the button shows today's price.
It qualifies for our list Best Dehumidifiers for Bedrooms and Apartments, where it is ranked against every model that meets the same rule.
