What matters in practice
The differences that matter
Frigidaire adds about twelve percent rated output
The gap is 3.85 pints per day.
How we reached this conclusion
35.85 minus 32 equals 3.85. Divide by 32 for 12.0 percent.
Rhea uses about four percent less test energy per liter
That is a smaller difference than the output and bucket gaps.
How we reached this conclusion
1 minus 2.01 divided by 2.09 equals 3.83 percent using inverse IEF.
The larger bucket holds two extra pints
Frigidaire tank volume is about 17 percent larger.
How we reached this conclusion
1.7 minus 1.45 equals 0.25 gallon. Times 8 equals 2 pints. 0.25 divided by 1.45 equals 17.2 percent.

Meaningful differences
What changes the fit
| What changes | AEOCKY Rhea-002 | Frigidaire 35 Pint Wi-Fi Dehumidifier | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Certified output | 32 pints/day | 35.85 pints/day | Frigidaire has higher tested capacity. |
| Integrated energy factor | 2.09 L/kWh | 2.01 L/kWh | Rhea has a modest efficiency advantage per equal liter. |
| Tank | 1.45 gallons | 1.7 gallons | Frigidaire gives more storage. |
| Controls | Local panel | Local panel and Wi-Fi app | Remote access is a convenience difference separate from output. |
| Cabinet width | 8.66 inches | 14.7 inches | Rhea is narrower, before required airflow clearance. |
What you give up
Every choice has a cost
If you choose AEOCKY Rhea-002
- No Wi-Fi or built-in lift pump is documented.
If you choose Frigidaire 35 Pint Wi-Fi Dehumidifier
- The conventional bucket is smaller than the Cube 35 reservoir.
Recommendation switch
The decision flips if...
You want more certified output while keeping local controls
Choose neither. Frigidaire 50 Wi-Fi provides 49.71 certified pints per day and a 2.7-gallon bucket when the smaller models have too little capacity.
What matters in practice
How to make the call
For a machine downstairs
Frigidaire app access can save a trip just to check humidity or change a setting. You still need to inspect and empty the bucket unless a drain hose is in use. Rhea has no connected feature despite the word smart in humidity-control marketing.
For a tight installation
Rhea saves 6.04 inches of cabinet width. That can be valuable beside a washing machine or in a utility closet. Check discharge direction and service clearance before assuming a narrow appliance belongs in a sealed cupboard.
For comparing performance numbers
Rhea 105-pint maximum headline and Frigidaire 35-pint model name are not equivalent rating conditions. The exact certification figures show Frigidaire ahead in capacity. Rhea advantage is the slightly higher IEF, which measures a different part of the decision.
What this comparison cannot tell you
- No hands-on moisture-removal or noise tests were performed.
- Equal-water energy examples use inverse certified IEF, not a prediction of household electricity bills.

Compared set
None of the 31 models checked covers every part of “I am drying a medium room or finished basement”, “I want to check humidity from my phone”, “Floor space is tight”, and “It will run often, so efficiency matters”, so the recommendation favors the closest practical compromise.

Match countThe count uses the current product-to-need assignments for “I am drying a medium room or finished basement”, “I want to check humidity from my phone”, “Floor space is tight”, and “It will run often, so efficiency matters”. A need with no documented match does not count.
Calculation noteThis uses explicit ENERGY STAR, Appendix X1 or official current-condition figures. Older hot-saturated labels are excluded when a current test figure is stated. 9 of 31 models have comparable published figures for context.
