What to know about Ivation 50-Pint Dehumidifier with Pump (4,500 sq ft)

Editorial notes

Why it stands out

Why we like it

Bob Vila recommends it for large basements and scored its performance 4.5 out of 5, saying moisture removal was similar to the other 50-pint models. The built-in pump lifts water up to 16.4 feet through the 16-foot hose, which lets you send it to a sink or out a window.

Auto-restart after a power outage and a defrost mode are useful in a cool basement. It costs a bit more than the Midea pump model and is sold by a third-party seller on Amazon.

What to know

Skip it if noise matters. Bob Vila scored noise 4 out of 5 and called it a bit noisier than most of its top picks.
Performance

Score breakdown

Moisture Removal Performance

Measured water removal and how fast a unit pulls down humidity in real basement or chamber tests (Bob Vila, Reviewed, Tom's Guide, RTINGS, Consumer Reports). Rated pints/day for the space size counts too.

7.0
Bob Vila: performance 4.5/5, similar to other 50-pint units. No measured pints figure.
Basement Suitability

Coverage for large spaces, low-temperature operation and auto-defrost, continuous drain or built-in pump, auto-restart after power loss, and casters/handles for stairs.

8.3
Pump with a 16.4-ft lift, auto-restart and defrost, rated for 4,500 sq ft.
Ease of Use & Emptying

Bucket size and how easy it is to remove and carry, hose included or not, controls and app, and how accurate the humidistat is.

7.0
Timer and easy emptying. The 2.25-gallon bucket is smaller than the Cube's.
Noise

Measured or reported noise at normal and high fan speeds. This matters for finished basements and rooms above.

5.5
Bob Vila: noisier than most of its top picks.
Energy Efficiency

ENERGY STAR v6 certification, IEF (L/kWh), and power draw measured in tests (e.g., Reviewed's power measurements).

5.0
No ENERGY STAR or IEF data found.
Value

Street price relative to capacity, features and tested performance, plus warranty length.

7.0
$299.99 is fair for a unit with a pump, but the #1 pick is cheaper and better documented.
