Before the shortlist
The first four answers do most of the work
A useful ranking starts only after the constraints specific to this market are clear.
- 01
What temperature, starting humidity, moisture source, air volume and target setpoint define the actual load?
- 02
Which current DOE or AHAM capacity rating applies, and is an older larger pint name being used for the same product?
- 03
Will water go to a bucket, lower gravity drain or proven pump route, and how will overflow or a failed drain be discovered?
- 04
What filter, coil, wet-path, electrical, refrigerant, recall, warranty and service conditions apply?
02

Market language
The terms a useful comparison should define
- Pints per day
- A standardized water-removal capacity at a named temperature and humidity, not a guaranteed result in a cooler or less humid room
- Gravity drain
- A continuous hose path that must remain below the outlet with reliable slope and no trap or freeze condition
- Condensate pump
- A powered lift path with a stated hose and elevation limit, reservoir, cleaning and failure behavior
- Auto defrost
- A control that limits coil icing in cooler operation; it does not preserve full warm-test capacity at every temperature
