Too much humidity means mold. Here's how to prevent it.

A dehumidifier is the kind of home appliance that might not seem necessary until you realize that you have mildew, mold, or water damage mucking up your walls and floors. Getting one as soon as you need it (re: as soon as you notice extra moisture in the air) does a whole lot of work in preventing future headaches.

People with basements and areas with minimal sunlight or airflow (a crawl space, for example) might be on the lookout for a dehumidifier first. But, really, any space that's holding too much water could use the tool. There are a few options that pull moisture out of the air in a few ways. Depending on how much moisture and how big of a space you're dealing with, your options shift accordingly. Ahead, six of the most beloved dehumidifiers that span the range of price and intensity to fit all your home needs. Start your clean air journey here.
