Moisture and humidity can be like a slow poison for your bathroom as they can accelerate the growth of mold and mildew.
Anyhow, it’s no surprise that your bathroom is more vulnerable to moisture than any other part of your home.

Top Dehumidifiers For Bathroom Buying Guide
Choosing the right bathroom dehumidifier can be an overwhelming ordeal if you don’t know the key features that make up a good dehumidifier. So, in this section, we’ve highlighted some of the important factors that you can consider to make a well-informed purchase decision. Let’s take a look at the best dehumidifiers for bathrooms!
1. Coverage Area
While purchasing air purifiers and dehumidifiers, it is essential to consider how much space they can cover while purifying the air and improving the air quality. In the case of small and portable dehumidifiers, they mostly work well in small to average-sized rooms that are around 250 to 270 square feet.
There are also bigger dehumidifiers that can cover spaces as large as 1200 square feet. Hence, you need to choose the right dehumidifier depending on your room size carefully.
2. Moisture Removal Capacity in the Tank
The moisture removal capacity of the dehumidifiers depends on various environmental conditions such as temperature and the relative humidity level. It is always better to choose the dehumidifiers that remain functional under both high and low temperatures. In that way, you can use the dehumidifier every season and all year round.
3. Quiet Performance of the Bathroom Dehumidifier
If you’re planning to install a dehumidifier in a small bathroom, make sure it doesn’t make too much noise. Thermoelectric dehumidifiers come with the Peltier technology that helps in offering an ultra-quiet performance so that the peaceful environment of your house isn’t hampered. Furthermore, you can also choose a dehumidifier that comes with a sleep mode to minimize its working sound further.
If your bathroom constantly stays humid and easily attracts moisture throughout the day, even when you are not showering, run the dehumidifier for around 30 minutes twice a day. It’ll help to reduce the humidity and dampness in the bathroom. You can also keep away mold and mildew from the bathroom and maintain your hygiene by using a dehumidifier to keep the moisture in control. Choose the right dehumidifier, depending on your bathroom space, for the best results. Both exhaust fans and bathroom dehumidifiers come with unique benefits that cannot be entirely replaced by the other. Dehumidifiers are designed to keep your bathroom moisture-free to prevent dampness. They work better than exhaust fans in removing moisture. However, dehumidifiers are not as effective in maintaining bathroom ventilation as exhaust fans. These fans facilitate easy air circulation throughout the bathroom to keep it well-ventilated. So, dehumidifiers might be better for keeping your bathroom dry, but exhaust fans ensure better aeration inside the bathroom. Yes, you can use a dehumidifier while taking a shower so that machine can remove all the steam and moisture from the bathroom. You won’t be left with a steamy mirror or water droplets on the bathroom floors and walls. Also, it’s best to run the dehumidifier for around 15 to 20 minutes after showering to eliminate any moisture buildup inside the bathroom. It will help to promote some air circulation in your bathroom. If your bathroom is around 250 to 270 square feet, you can go for a small and portable dehumidifier that’s easy to install and carry around. It should be good enough to cover your entire bathroom area and remove excess moisture. However, you might need to look for bigger models if you have a large bathroom space of about 1200 square feet or more. So, carefully measure the floor coverage of your bathroom before choosing the best dehumidifier. If your bathroom tends to get overly humid, it’s best to empty the dehumidifier twice a day to avoid overworking the machine. The capacity of the machine will also determine the frequency of emptying it. For instance, if you have a large dehumidifier, you can empty it once every two to three days without going through the hassle of doing it daily. Also, if your bathroom stays relatively dry, you don’t need to worry about emptying the dehumidifier every day. Best Dehumidifier For Bathroom FAQ
