Unless you’re a centipede or an earwig, nobody wants a damp, dank basement. You wouldn’t just accept it if it were any other room at home, so why should you accept it just because it’s nearer the ground?!

Because basements are below ground level, they absorb moisture from the earth more easily. Whether you use yours as a storage space or have converted it into a TV or games room, dampness leads to mold and mildew, which can aggravate allergies and respiratory illnesses. Not only that, but the moisture could damage those priceless family heirlooms you’ve put down there for safekeeping. Please, no – not Grandma’s terrifying antique doll collection!

Investing in a dehumidifier is the best way to keep the air in your room fresh, remove moisture, and keep furnishings looking good as new long into the future – even the ones that keep you awake at night. No matter how big or small your basement is, there’s a Hisense dehumidifier ready and able to handle the job.

Best dehumidifiers for small basements – Hisense DH3020K1W Energy Star

Got a small basement that’s starting to get damp but you don’t have an outlet to dispose of water? Don’t worry! With the Hisense DH3020K1W, you’ve got options. If you do have a window or door that leads outside, you can connect a garden hose to the side of the cabinet and discharge all the collected moisture outside. And if you don’t, you can collect the water in the internal bucket, slide it out when it’s full and dump the water out manually. It’ll even tell you when the tank is full, so you’ll know exactly when to empty it. What a gentleman!

Of course, it costs money and energy to run a dehumidifier. But thanks to the DH3020K1W’s Energy Star certified green credentials, it costs a lot less to run than you think, and you’re doing your bit to protect our planet while freshening up your home. It’s quiet, too, so you can leave it running and still relax without distractions.

Perfect for medium size spaces – Hisense DH5022K1W

Need something a little heavier duty? The Hisense DH5022K1W ticks all the right boxes. A 35-pint capacity and coverage of 1,000 square feet make this dehumidifier a real go-to option for slightly bigger below-ground spaces. And, like the smaller DH3020K1W, it has a slide-out bucket that makes water disposal easy when continuous draining isn’t an option.

But it doesn’t stop there, the Hisense DH5022K1W can do more! With three different modes and fan speeds, you can adjust the settings to perfectly suit the level of damp in your basement. And because the battle against moisture at home doesn’t end when you’re not in, there’s a 24-hour programmable timer that allows the dehumidifier to keep doing its thing when you’re at the office or the grocery store. It’ll even switch off automatically when the tank’s full, so relax!

For big basements and below-ground rooms – Hisense DH7021KP1G

If you have a window or sink in your basement, you’re in luck. The Hisense DH7021KP1G has a built-in pump that makes light work of even the most aggressive damp issue at home. No window? No problem! It has a massive 50-pint capacity slide-out bucket – which isn’t quite big enough to class as an indoor swimming pool, but it’s close.

Bigger doesn’t mean louder, either. When you run the dehumidifier at low speed, it’ll do the job as quietly as 46 dB(A). In layman’s terms, that’s almost half the volume of a washing machine. Or 10 decibels lower than your partner’s snoring – maybe you should put them in the basement too.

It’s got that all-important Energy Star certification too, so you know it’s equally good at keeping a lid on energy bills as it is at removing damp. Plus, that 24-hour timer and easy-to-use onboard controls mean anyone can control it effortlessly. The dehumidifier demystified.

For big basements and smart-home heroes – Hisense DH7021W1WG

Don’t feel like walking down to the basement every time you need to turn your dehumidifier on or switch up the settings? Don’t be lazy, it’s not that far! But hey, now you don’t need to. The Hisense DH7021W1WG offers intuitive control from the comfort of your smartphone with the free ConnectLife app. It even works with Google and Alexa voice assistants, so tackling damp is as easy as saying “Hey Google, turn the dehumidifier on.”

Like the DH7021KP1G, this dehumidifier has three speeds and a 50-pint bucket capacity, meaning it can handle plenty of moisture before needing to be emptied. The adjustable humidistat accurately monitors humidity levels in your air at home, so you can always keep on top of moisture issues. And you’ll still get those full tank alerts whenever your dehumidifier needs emptying. Or, if you have a window, you can easily connect it to a drainage hose and let it get on with the job continuously. Simple!

Those are our picks of the best dehumidifiers according to room size. Don’t forget, we have a huge range of air products at Hisense to keep your home super comfy.
