Main trade-off
Dreo Dehumidifier 733S
The 73-pint headline uses hot, saturated conditions rather than the current federal test.
Head-to-head
Dreo 733S vs Honeywell 32 Pint: Dreo adds remote checks and a larger tank, Honeywell keeps controls local
The short answer
Dreo is the connected choice with a larger tank. Honeywell is easier to recommend for a utility room when simple controls and a documented 49 dBA rating are enough.

Meaningful differences
What changes the fit
| What changes | Dreo Dehumidifier 733S | Honeywell 32 Pint TP-Fit | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connectivity | Dreo app | None | This affects connection compatibility and available data paths. A higher label does not guarantee the same real-world result in every setup. |
| Tank | 7 liters | 9.9 pints | This changes how often the job pauses for refilling, emptying or another batch. |
| Rated sound | As low as 42 dB | 49 dBA | This becomes important in bedrooms, shared rooms and longer sessions. |
What you give up
Every choice has a cost
If you choose Dreo Dehumidifier 733S
- It has gravity drainage but no internal lift pump.
If you choose Honeywell 32 Pint TP-Fit
