Dehumidifiers in Singapore, Compared
77 dehumidifier models from manufacturers and official Singapore distributors, segmented by the test condition each maker declares — because a litres-per-day figure quoted at one condition cannot be converted into a figure quoted at another.

AI disclosure. AI tools were used to help draft this guide. Research and drafting were AI-assisted. Every capacity figure, test condition, tank volume, warranty term and price was derived at run time from specifications published by manufacturers and official Singapore distributors and read on 22 September 2026, and the named editor is accountable for accuracy regardless. How we use AI.
AI image by LocalRankThe number on the box is not a number you can shop on. Two dehumidifiers sold in the same Singapore shop, both printed with a litres-per-day figure, are very often not describing the same test — and in this market there is no arithmetic that puts them on one scale.
LocalRank read every dehumidifier specification published by a manufacturer or an official Singapore distributor that could be found on 22 September 2026, across 21 brands, and merged the result on exact model number into 77 dehumidifier models. What came back was not one market but 6, separated by the conditions each maker quotes. The largest group is 37 models published at 30°C / 80% RH — the only group inside which a capacity comparison here is allowed to happen.
What is in this comparison, and what the merge did
The set is every model LocalRank could establish from a manufacturer page, an official Singapore distributor, a specification sheet or a manual: 77 dehumidifier models across 21 brands, merged on exact model number and never on marketing name. One model appeared in both discovery files — DE5205/30 — so the merged universe is smaller than their sum rather than double-counting.
Merging on a name would have been wrong in ways this corpus demonstrates directly. IONA sells both a GLD10 and a GLD105, described identically as a 1.5 L mini dehumidifier; they are kept apart. Sharp publishes a DW-T30FE-W and a DW-T30FE-H, a white and a dark grey unit sharing a series code; they are kept apart. Sterra names its three units Sun, Ray and Titan and publishes no code for any of them, so all three are carried with the model number recorded as not established rather than folded into a similar-sounding sibling.
- 77 dehumidifier models in the merged set, 64 listed as current and 13 whose lifecycle state could not be established from a first-party page.
- 48 publish a numeric test condition for at least one capacity figure. 29 do not.
- 37 models published at 30°C / 80% RH in litres per day, which is the one group large enough and consistent enough to compare inside.
- 48 carry a regular price established at manufacturer or official-distributor tier. 29 do not.
- 3 publish no model number and are labelled as such.
Why there is no single capacity table
A single ordered table of every model by litres per day would be the easiest page to build and the most misleading one to publish. 6 distinct numeric rating bases appear across this set. novita, EuropAce, LG and Xiaomi publish at 30°C / 80% RH; De’Longhi at 32°C / 80% RH; Philips at 35°C / 90% RH; desiccant equipment mostly at 20°C / 60% RH. Only 2 models name the standard behind a capacity figure — Philips and Sharp — so almost every condition here is a temperature and a humidity with no audited method behind it. And 13 of the 33 records in the secondary file publish a capacity with no condition attached at all.
The reason those cannot be reconciled is not that it is difficult. It is that the corpus contains the disproof. Whirlpool’s DS202NF is 20 L/day at 30°C / 80% RH and 12.3 L/day at 26.7°C / 60% RH, a factor of 1.63. Mistral’s MDH1022 is 10 L/day at 30°C / 80% RH and 5 L/day at 27°C / 60% RH, a factor of 2.00. Two real machines, near-identical condition pairs, and conversion factors 23 per cent apart. A multiplier that differs by that much between two units is not a multiplier.
The worst case does not even publish numbers. Blueair’s D26i is stated at up to 19 L/day in what the brand calls standard conditions and up to 35 L/day in what it calls high humidity, and never defines either: an 84 per cent difference resting on two undefined words, which distributors then title the product by.
The 30°C / 80% RH cohort
These are 37 models published at 30°C / 80% RH in litres per day, the de facto tropical rating point in this market. Inside this group, and only inside it, the extraction figures are describing the same test. Only 1 of them name a test standard behind that condition, so the comparison still rests mostly on brands quoting the same temperature and humidity rather than on a shared, audited method. Units established or inferred to be desiccant or thermoelectric are excluded from this table regardless of the condition they quote. The order is by brand and carries no judgement.

Three things there are worth naming. LG publishes several machines at both 30°C / 80% RH and 26.7°C / 60% RH, the fullest test-condition disclosure in either file, and publishes no Singapore price at all. novita publishes two capacity figures for several models depending on which filter is fitted, and both are shown with the filter each belongs to. And 3 models from novita and Sharp are in this table only because their makers’ own manuals were read: the product pages published the figure and omitted the condition, and the manual published both. A specification buried in a PDF is still a specification; a figure on the page without one is not.
Published at a different declared condition
2 models publish a capacity in litres per day at a condition their makers state clearly, and it is not the cohort condition. Their figures are correct, checkable and unusable against the table above: a warmer, wetter test produces a larger number from the same machine, so both would read lower on the cohort basis. By how much is not derivable, which is exactly the point.

Published with no test condition at all
21 models in the merged set publish an extraction figure with no test condition behind it. This is the largest single group after the cohort and includes some of the most visible brands in Singapore shops. Sharp publishes 30 L/day for its four-in-one unit on two of its own Singapore properties with no test condition on either, and serves no manual for it — which is why that model stayed here while its two stablemates left. Toshiba, Sterra, NNIO, Risen’s RL series and most of the Midea records publish the same way.
These figures are not wrong and they are not dismissed. They are simply not comparable: putting them beside a conditioned figure would invent a shared basis the makers never claimed. The cohort column stays blank and says why.

Three technologies, three tables, and why they may not merge
Technology gates these tables before the test condition does, and the ordering is deliberate. The commercial desiccant equipment sold here is published in kilograms per hour at 20°C / 60% RH, against litres per day at a tropical point for the compressor cohort: a different unit and a different rating point, with no arithmetic that makes them share a column. But the unit of measure is not what the gate is for. Two of the desiccant units here publish litres per day, and one of those publishes it at a condition a compressor machine in the same catalogue also publishes.
Ionmax’s ION632 shows the harm: a desiccant unit published in litres per day — 10 L/day at 20°C / 60% RH — which on a merged table would tie exactly with a compressor unit rated 10 L/day at 30°C / 80% RH while describing a materially different machine.
Thermoelectric units are the trap a condition check does not catch. IONA’s GLD105 removes 250 ml/day and its GLD205 450 ml/day, both at 30°C / 80% RH — the same condition as the compressor cohort. A page that checked only the condition would put one of them in a column beside a machine rated 35 L/day at 30°C / 80% RH, roughly a hundred and forty times larger, and every automated check would pass because the row is internally consistent. So the technology class is checked first, and the build fails if a desiccant or thermoelectric unit ever reaches a compressor table.
The case that settles it is inside one maker’s own catalogue. De'Longhi publishes the DNS65 at 6 L/day at 32°C / 80% RH and the DEXD214RF at 14 L/day at 32°C / 80% RH — the same brand, the same declared condition, the same published unit. A page that segmented on the test condition alone would have put those two machines in one column, inviting a reader to take the first for a weaker second. The maker’s own manual for the DEXD214RF prints a defrost device, a restart delay protecting the compressor, and operating limits of 2°C to 30°C. The identical template for the DNS65 has no defrost row, no refrigerant, no occurrence of the word compressor, and operating limits of 1°C to 35°C — and a vapour-compression machine rated to run at 1°C carries a defrost device. Because De'Longhi never prints the word desiccant either, that class is LocalRank’s reading of the manual rather than a maker’s statement, and is labelled as inferred everywhere it appears. The technology gate, not the condition check, is the only thing keeping those two apart.
Technology class is published for 58 of the 77 dehumidifier models here, inferred by LocalRank for 6, and established neither way for the remaining 13. The distinction is visible in every table: a class the maker prints is labelled as published, and one LocalRank read out of a manual is labelled as inferred, because a citation attached to an unmarked inference is worse than no citation. The models with no class are silence, not a finding. None is a compressor by default. A low wattage figure is not a classification, and a machine that publishes no refrigerant has not told you it has no compressor.
Here is every class this page inferred, with what each inference rests on, in the research file’s own words. None is a manufacturer statement.
DNS65
De'Longhi
- Class, as inferred
- Desiccant — inferred by LocalRank, not published by the maker: read from De'Longhi (manufacturer)’s own manual, which never prints the class
- Confidence recorded
- high
- What the inference rests on
- De'Longhi's own manual publishes operating limits of 1°C - 35°C for DNS65. A vapour-compression dehumidifier rated to run at 1°C must carry a defrost device. De'Longhi's manual template has a "Defrost device" row. It is present and set to "Yes" in the DEXD214RF manual and is absent entirely from the DNS65 specification. The word "compressor" appears in the DEXD214RF manual and appears nowhere in the DNS65 manual. No refrigerant is declared for DNS65 by De'Longhi anywhere - Singapore site, global site, Philippines site or manual - while DEXD214RF carries a declared R290 charge and a separate "Safety warnings" document on its support page. The DNS65 support page lists only "Instructions for use" and no safety-warnings document. Corroboration only, not proof: within one maker's own catalogue and on one published condition, 520 W for 6 L/day (DNS65) against 300 W for 14 L/day (DEXD214RF), both quoted at 32°C/80%. That is roughly a four-fold difference in watts per litre, in the direction and of the magnitude expected of a regeneration heater rather than a refrigeration circuit.
MDH012
Mistral
- Class, as inferred
- Thermoelectric (Peltier) — inferred by LocalRank, not published by the maker: read from Mayer Marketing (Singapore distributor for Mistral)’s official Singapore distributor’s specification, which never prints the class
- Confidence recorded
- medium high
- What the inference rests on
- The distributor's own electrical specification is a 9 V DC adapter-powered unit rated 33.25 W and weighing 1.3 kg, removing up to 320 ml/day. A vapour-compression circuit cannot run from a 9 V DC wall adapter at 33 W. Compare the compressor unit PowerPac IF3256 in this same file: 200-240 V AC mains, 200 W, 11 kg. A desiccant unit at this output would need a regeneration heater of hundreds of watts and could not run on a 9 V adapter either. The same 9 V DC / roughly 22-33 W / sub-litre-per-day electrical signature is what PowerPac and IONA both publish for units they explicitly describe as Peltier. — no test condition published with that figure
N5025DH
NNIO
- Class, as inferred
- Compressor — inferred by LocalRank, not published by the maker: read from Courts Singapore (brand owner of NNIO)’s own specification as brand owner, which never prints the class
- Confidence recorded
- medium
- What the inference rests on
- 320 W producing 25 L/day at 14 kg. Thermoelectric is excluded by two orders of magnitude and desiccant by an order of magnitude in watts per litre, on the same comparison set as NDH12L. SOLE-SIGNAL CAVEAT: power against capacity alone. No refrigerant, defrost function or operating temperature range is published. — no test condition published with that figure
NDH12L
NNIO
- Class, as inferred
- Compressor — inferred by LocalRank, not published by the maker: read from Courts Singapore (brand owner of NNIO)’s own specification as brand owner, which never prints the class
- Confidence recorded
- medium
- What the inference rests on
- 200 W producing 12 L/day. Thermoelectric is excluded by two orders of magnitude: the published Peltier units in this same file draw 22-33 W for 300-450 ml/day, so 12 L/day would require roughly a kilowatt of Peltier. Desiccant is excluded by power and by weight: the desiccant range published by Risen in Singapore draws 0.8 kW for 0.3 kg/hr, roughly 7 L/day, and this unit is rated at 200 W for 12 L/day. SOLE-SIGNAL CAVEAT: this rests on the power-against-capacity ratio alone. NNIO publishes no refrigerant, no defrost function and no operating temperature range. It is corroboration presented as an inference, not proof. — no test condition published with that figure
Sterra Ray™ Dehumidifier (model number not established)
Sterra
- Class, as inferred
- Compressor — inferred by LocalRank, not published by the maker: read from Sterra Singapore (brand)’s own published specification, which never prints the class
- Confidence recorded
- medium
- What the inference rests on
- Sterra's own published operating temperature range is 5°C to 35°C. A 5°C lower limit is the refrigerant-cycle signature: Sharp's manual states its compressor stops below 5°C, novita publishes 5°C-35°C for its rotary-compressor ND26+, and Risen publishes 5-38°C for its R410A units. Desiccant units are sold on working below that: De'Longhi's DNS65 manual publishes 1°C. 200 W producing 12 L/day excludes thermoelectric by two orders of magnitude and desiccant by an order of magnitude in watts per litre. Two independent first-party signals rather than one, which is why this is recorded at MEDIUM rather than the sole-signal level.
Sterra Titan™ Dehumidifier (model number not established)
Sterra
- Class, as inferred
- Compressor — inferred by LocalRank, not published by the maker: read from Sterra Singapore (brand)’s own published specification, which never prints the class
- Confidence recorded
- medium low
- What the inference rests on
- 410 W producing 25 L/day at 14 kg excludes thermoelectric by two orders of magnitude and desiccant by an order of magnitude in watts per litre. SOLE-SIGNAL CAVEAT: unlike the Sterra Ray, this model publishes no operating temperature range, so power against capacity is the only signal. Recorded at MEDIUM_LOW for that reason. — no test condition published with that figure
Desiccant units
5 units here are desiccant machines, and most of them are commercial and industrial equipment rather than a household purchase. Not all: 1 of them is a consumer unit on a major brand’s Singapore range, on an inferred class. Their power draw is not on the same scale either. A desiccant rotor needs a regeneration heater, so a unit rated 2 kg/hour at 20°C / 60% RH draws about two kilowatts where a room compressor unit sits in the hundreds of watts.

Sub-litre moisture removers
7 units in the merged set are published in millilitres rather than litres, or are established or inferred to be thermoelectric or a rechargeable desiccant block. These are a different purchase decision — a wardrobe, a safe, a camera cabinet — and are separated out for that reason rather than ranked against room units. One, PowerPac’s IF3251, is published per recharge cycle rather than per day, so it cannot be placed on a daily axis at all.

What the makers themselves say about running one here
The strongest statement in either file about sizing a dehumidifier for a Singapore home comes from a brand that refuses to give a number. Kruger, which states it designs, tests, assembles and services its own systems here, publishes no coverage figure and states instead that capacity is influenced by floor area, ceiling height, airflow, aspect and existing humidity, recommending a site assessment. That is a manufacturer saying the single number cannot be given.
Recommended room size is a marketing claim
No maker publishes a method, a ceiling height, an air-change assumption or a starting humidity behind its coverage figure, and the implied ratios show the figures are not measuring the same thing. Across the 9 secondary coverage claims with a derivable ratio, implied coverage spans 1.263 to 4.16 m² per litre per day — a 3.3-times spread between brands claiming to describe the same relationship.
- Mistral’s entire range implies an exact, unvarying 2.00 m² per litre per day across four machines — 24 m², 32 m², 48 m² and 70 m² against 12, 16, 24 and 35 litre ratings. A ratio that never deviates across a product line was calculated, not tested.
- Sterra publishes 30 m² for one unit and 18 m² for another, and both are rated 12 L/day with no test condition published for either. Same brand, same headline capacity, a 67 per cent difference in the coverage claim.
- Blueair’s D26i is listed at 24 m² by one distributor and 50 m² by another; Ionmax’s ION632 at 50 sqm by its distributor and 25 sqm by a retailer. Same model, twice the room, in both cases.
- PowerPac publishes coverage in square centimetres — under 15 cm² for one unit. Fifteen square centimetres is roughly a matchbox. This page does not transcribe those figures and does not reinterpret them as square metres.
So coverage gets no column. Where a brand publishes one it is reported in that brand’s own words as something it claims, not as a specification.
Noise: why there is no decibel column
8 of the 33 secondary records publish any decibel figure at all. Exactly one attributes its figures to a named operating mode. Not one states a measurement distance, and not one names an acoustic standard. A decibel figure without a distance is not a measurement a reader can act on.
- Risen publishes an identical 45 dB(A) for its RL-850D, RL-860D and RL-870D — three units of different capacity and airflow. That is a series catalogue value rather than a per-model measurement.
- Mistral publishes 41 dBA for its 1.2 L tabletop unit and nothing for its 12, 16, 24 or 35 litre machines, which are the ones a buyer would actually want to compare.
- Blueair is the one exception, tying 32 dB(A) to purification and 49 dB(A) to dehumidification on the same machine. Even that lacks a distance — and note what it reveals: the dehumidifying figure is 17 dB above the purifying one, so a single-number claim on a two-in-one unit is likely quoting the quieter function.
Where a figure exists it is quoted in the model’s own row with the qualifier its maker gave it; where none exists the page records that none was published. A machine that publishes no decibel figure has not told you it is quiet.
Energy labels: what a grade on a dehumidifier here is not
Singapore’s Mandatory Energy Labelling Scheme and Minimum Energy Performance Standards do not cover dehumidifiers. The regulated goods are air-conditioners, portable air-conditioners, refrigerators, clothes dryers, televisions, general lighting, water heaters, three-phase variable-refrigerant-flow air-conditioners, three-phase induction motors and commercial storage refrigerators. Dehumidifiers are not on that list.
That matters because energy grades do appear on dehumidifier listings sold here — one listing in this corpus carries a Grade 1 Energy Label claim. Whatever scheme that grade belongs to, it is not a Singapore rating. There is no efficiency figure to compare either: not one model in either file publishes measured consumption at a declared condition or a litres-per-kilowatt-hour figure. What makers publish is nameplate rated input power, a maximum draw and not a consumption. So there is no efficiency column and no calculated running cost.
Tank, drainage and warranty
These three compare cleanly, because none depends on a test condition: a tank is a volume, drainage either exists or it does not, and a term is a term. Tank size is the field a buyer underrates. In Singapore’s humidity a high-capacity machine fills its tank fast, and the tanks in this set are not proportionate to the capacities: the largest tank found is 10 litres. That is why continuous drainage — a hose to a floor drain or a basin — decides whether a machine can be left running unattended. Most units here state that drainage is supported; fewer state the hose type or diameter, and several state nothing, which the tables record as unpublished rather than as absent.
Warranty is comparable but must be read for what it covers. Published terms here run from one year to ten. One brand publishes a motor-only term of 24 months with no whole-unit term at all — the inverse of a component carve-out — and applies it unchanged to a passive rechargeable absorber with no stated motor.
Price is the weakest evidence on this page
48 of the 77 dehumidifier models here carry a regular price established at manufacturer or official-distributor tier. The other 29 are shown as not established with the reason rather than filled with a guess. LG and Toshiba publish no Singapore price at all; Kruger and Risen route to a sales enquiry; several models exist only on retailer listings, which establish that a machine is sold here and never what it costs as a matter of record.
The deeper problem is with the prices that are established. Almost the entire Singapore dehumidifier catalogue is displayed as a struck-through usual price against a lower live price, on the brands’ own storefronts as well as at retail. 33 of the 45 models in the major-brand file were observed at a lower campaign price on a single day, several at 40 to 60 per cent beneath the figure printed as regular. Where a regular price is never actually charged, recording it as the regular price is itself a claim rather than an observation.
Campaign prices are suppressed site-wide, so what a reader sees is the publisher’s own regular figure, preserved alongside the campaign observation in the research corpus. Two brands publish a single stable price with no strike-through. Treat every other price on this page as the weakest fact in its row.
What each brand actually publishes
This is the one cross-brand comparison the evidence genuinely supports, and it compares what a brand discloses rather than how well its machines work. A brand that states its test conditions has given a buyer something checkable; one that does not has given a number that cannot be placed beside anyone else’s. Neither says anything about how much water either machine removes.

Contradictions, preserved rather than resolved
Where two sources disagree and the evidence does not support choosing between them, both are kept. None of the following is resolved.
- DW-T30FE-W / DW-T30FE-H, dimensions and weight. 3 sources disagree — sg.sharp (Sharp SG corporate); sharp.com.sg (Official SHARP SG E-Store); Harvey Norman Singapore. Two first-party Sharp Singapore properties disagree with each other and a retailer disagrees with both; the retailer figures match the smaller DW-E16FA-W.
- DW-E16FA-W, dimensions. 2 sources disagree — sg.sharp; sharp.com.sg. Preserved unresolved.
- ND838i, extraction capacity. 2 sources disagree — novita SG product page (34.8 L/day at 30C/80%RH); third-party product summary (30 L/day) — no test condition published with that figure. Preserved unresolved.
- MDDF-16DEN7, price. 2 sources disagree — Courts Singapore (RRP S$322 / S$284.60); PassionAir (S$239 single price). No manufacturer price exists to arbitrate between two Singapore retailers.
- MDDM-20DEN7, tank capacity. One source, uncorroborated — PassionAir (12 L tank on a 343 mm cube). Preserved unresolved.
- RAD-DIB28SG vs RAD-DIA28SG, model identity. 2 sources disagree — Toshiba Lifestyle SG page body (RAD-DIB28SG); Toshiba Lifestyle SG URL slug and search title (RAD-DIA28SG). Preserved unresolved.
The Sharp case deserves naming because both sources are Sharp’s. Sharp Singapore’s corporate site publishes the DW-T30FE at 18.7 kg and Sharp’s own Singapore e-store publishes the same model at 12.2 kg — two first-party properties of one manufacturer disagreeing by more than half again on one machine. The lower figure is also the weight both sources give for a much smaller Sharp model, which looks like copied specification data rather than a second measurement. That is an observation, not a resolution, and neither figure is preferred here.
How this page was built
Every figure here was read from a manufacturer page, an official Singapore distributor, a specification sheet or a manual on 22 September 2026, and every cell is derived at build time from the research corpus rather than typed into the article. The unit of comparison is the exact model number.
Model-number traps in this category
Two records here are carried with a doubt attached rather than deleted or quietly merged into a near-namesake. Deleting either would remove evidence; merging either would invent a machine.
- RAD-DIA28SG may not be a model. No first-party Toshiba document prints the string RAD-DIA28SG at all. The recorded URL ending "rad-dia28sg" serves a page whose title, breadcrumb and specification section read RAD-DIB28SG throughout; RAD-DIA28SG appears in no visible text, no meta description and no title, including when the page is fetched with the CMS author mode disabled. It is kept with its identity recorded as not established. The rule that two model numbers are never merged on similarity is not reversed here: what is in doubt is whether this one names a machine at all, which is a different question from whether two records describe one.
- DS242NF appears to be another market’s model, so its Singapore availability is not established. Whirlpool Singapore does not list DS242NF. What Whirlpool Singapore sells in that size is DS242HEHK, "24L Puri-Pro Dehumidpurifier", a different model code with different figures (24 L at 30°C/RH80% but 12.6 L at 26.7°C/RH60%, 14.1 kg, 400 x 590 x 190 mm) against DS242NF's 14 L at 26.7°C/RH60%, 14 kg, 175 mm depth. Whirlpool Hong Kong lists DS242NF. Whether the Singapore listing behind this record ships DS242NF or DS242HEHK is unresolved. The technology class is the same either way, but the identity is not. DS242NF is therefore marked as availability not established rather than deleted, and nothing from the differently-coded Singapore sibling is carried onto this record.
- A Harvey Norman Singapore page serves the Philips DE5205/30 at a URL slugged de-5202-30. Model codes in this category must never be taken from a retailer URL.
- Cornell’s own dehumidifier collection listed one product on the observation date without stating its model number; the code comes from retailers, and that provenance is recorded rather than hidden.
- Names never encode capacity. novita’s ND80 is rated 50 L/day at 30°C / 80% RH and its ND12.8 13 L/day at the same condition. LG sells a machine marketed as 26L whose rated figure is 14 L/day, with no test condition published alongside it. Xiaomi sells one marketed as 11L rated 20 L/day at 30°C / 80% RH. A litre number in a model name is a name, not a specification.
What this page refuses to do
- No capacity figure is printed without its test condition, or without a stated reason it is missing. The build fails rather than print one.
- No figure is converted between conditions: the corpus contains two machines that disagree on the ratio by 23 per cent.
- No model appears in a cohort table whose declared condition it does not match, and no desiccant, thermoelectric or rechargeable-block unit reaches a compressor table, whatever condition it quotes. No room size, decibel, efficiency or compressor-warranty column is built.
- No quality is inferred from an award, a review score, a star rating, a popularity claim or a price.
- No absence is read as a zero. A model that publishes no noise figure, no warranty, no price and no technology class is recorded as publishing none of them, which is a different statement from having none of them.
- No model is called best, cheapest or recommended, and the order of every table carries no judgement.
What could not be established
- Gain City category and product pages returned HTTP 403 to automated fetch; not used.
- Panasonic Singapore all-products page returned HTTP 403 to fetch and was read through a rendering browser instead.
- Philips Singapore storefront is a client-rendered app; read through a rendering browser.
- 2 limitations the discovery files recorded against novita and Sharp models were closed by the later classification work, which read the documents in question. 3 models gained a published test condition as a result, and it travels with their figures in the tables above.
- 5 models in the merged set publish no extraction figure this research could establish at all, so they appear in no capacity table.
- 13 models could not be confirmed as currently sold from a first-party page, which is a statement about what is published and not about whether they are on shelves.
- 3 large brands with a Singapore presence — Mitsubishi Electric, Panasonic, Samsung — publish no dehumidifier on their Singapore sites, so they contribute no models rather than being omitted.
- 10 further brands were checked in the secondary universe with no model established, for reasons recorded per brand in the research corpus.
- 1 record the discovery files carried on a retailer product title alone now rests on a first-party manufacturer page found since, which raises its provenance without resolving what the maker still does not publish.
Questions
Frequently asked
- Which dehumidifier is the best one in Singapore?
- This page does not name one, and the published evidence would not support it. The capacity figures on the boxes are quoted at six different test conditions, a third of the market quotes none at all, and the two machines that publish both conditions disagree on the conversion between them. An overall ordering built on that would be a presentation choice rather than a finding.
- Can I just compare the litres-per-day numbers?
- Only within a group tested the same way, and only after the technology class has been checked. Inside the 30°C / 80% RH cohort the figures describe the same test. Across conditions they do not: the two machines published at two conditions each disagree on the ratio by 23 per cent, so one physical machine is a 20-litre machine or a 12.3-litre machine purely by choice of stated condition.
- Why is there no recommended room size column?
- Because no maker publishes a method behind the figure, and the numbers show they are not measuring the same thing. Implied coverage runs from 1.26 to 4.16 m² per litre per day, one brand’s whole range implies an unvarying 2.00 m² per litre per day across four machines, and a Singapore manufacturer declines to publish a coverage figure at all.
- Is a dehumidifier with a Grade 1 energy label more efficient?
- It is not a Singapore rating, whatever else it is. The National Environment Agency’s Mandatory Energy Labelling Scheme and Minimum Energy Performance Standards do not cover dehumidifiers, so a grade on a dehumidifier sold here comes from another jurisdiction’s scheme or the vendor’s own. No model in this corpus publishes measured consumption at a declared condition or a litres-per-kilowatt-hour figure, so there is nothing to compare on efficiency either.
- Does a desiccant model remove more water than a compressor model?
- The published figures cannot answer that, because they are not the same measurement. The commercial desiccant equipment here is published in kilograms per hour at 20°C / 60% RH against litres per day at a tropical point for compressor units. Two desiccant units do publish litres per day, and they are the reason the split is by technology rather than by unit or condition: one is rated 10 L/day at 20°C / 60% RH, which would tie on a merged table with a compressor unit rated 10 L/day at 30°C / 80% RH, and one publishes at the same condition as a compressor machine in its own maker’s range.
- Why does one model show no price?
- Because no regular price was established at manufacturer or official-distributor tier. LG and Toshiba publish no Singapore price; Kruger and Risen route to a sales enquiry; some models exist only on retailer listings, which establish that a machine is sold here but never become the price of record. Where only a campaign price was found, the standard price is recorded as not established rather than guessed at.
- How much water should a tank hold?
- The published tank volumes do not scale with the published capacities, and that is the point worth taking away rather than a target figure. In this climate a high-capacity machine fills its tank quickly, so the specification that decides whether it can run unattended is continuous drainage. Most units here state that drainage is supported; fewer state the hose type or diameter, and several state nothing, which this page records as unpublished rather than as absent.
- UpdateThree research files — 45 major-brand records, 33 secondary records and 42 technology-classification records — were merged on exact model number into 77 dehumidifier models, one model appearing in both. Published as a comparison rather than a ranking because six distinct capacity rating bases coexist in this market and no conversion between them is possible: the only two machines published at two conditions each disagree on the ratio by 23 per cent. Capacity is segmented by declared test condition, with 37 models published at 30°C / 80% RH forming the largest cohort; every other model is shown blank with a stated reason and never converted. Desiccant and thermoelectric units are gated out of the compressor tables by technology class before any condition check, and one maker publishes a desiccant unit and a compressor unit at the same condition and the same unit, which is the case a condition check alone would have merged. Technology class is now published for 58 models, inferred by LocalRank for 6 and established neither way for 13; every inferred class is labelled as inferred wherever it renders, and no unclassified model is presented as a compressor by default. One model number that no first-party document prints and one model whose Singapore availability is not established are carried with those doubts stated rather than deleted or merged. Three claims the research checked and rejected are guarded out of rendered output. No recommended room size, decibel, efficiency or compressor-warranty column is built. 48 models carry a regular price established at manufacturer or official-distributor tier; the rest are recorded as not established rather than guessed. Contradictions at Sharp, Whirlpool, Blueair, Sterra, Toshiba and Midea are preserved with their sources rather than resolved. No model was tested by LocalRank and no quality, reliability or efficiency conclusion is drawn.
