Our pick

Waykar 34 Pint

Waykar 34 Pint

The Waykar PD160B is the safest quiet-room bet in this set because RTINGS measured 47.3 dBA and low heat rise. For more capacity, the Frigidaire 35 carries a 48 dBA manufacturer rating.

Why it fits this need

  • Independent or published sound
  • Capacity at low speed
Main trade-off
RTINGS measured modest water removal, so recovery is slow in a very wet basement.

Medium rooms where low noise and verified efficiency carry equal weight
More reasons behind this pick
  • Room heat
  • Distance from a bed or desk
