About this item
- [Most Efficient 2024 Energy Star] Achieving 2.01L/kWh dehumidifier energy efficiency, Gasbye DryPrime dehumidifier for basement meets the EPA latest 2024 standards, exceeding the most efficient 2023 models at 1.9L/kWh and significantly outperforming the standard DOE benchmark of 1.6L/kWh.
- [Triple Draining Flexibility] Choose from a spacious 1.7Gal tank for manual drainage, an included 5-foot hose for direct connection to floor drains, or an included garden hose adapter for extended disposal with your garden hose.
- [Auto-restart] The dehumidifier automatically resumes its previous settings after a power outage.
- [Move It Your Way] Mobility redefined with 4 wheels and a top handle. Easily transport your Gasbye dehumidifier across floors or to new locations. Convenience meets functionality.

- โโโIt's normal for a compressor-based dehumidifier to blow out warm air while dehumidifying. Although this warm air slightly increases the AC's cooling energy use, it reduces the AC's dehumidification burden. By letting your air conditioner (3000 watts) focus on cooling rather than dehumidifying, running a dehumidifier (500 watts) will typically lower your AC bill.
- โโโCompressor-based dehumidifiers have an internal compressor that causes vibrations and some noise during operation. The DryPrime-50, with a noise level around 45dB, is relatively quiet but may not be suitable for small spaces like bedrooms. It's better for medium or large spaces where a bit of noise is acceptable, like basements, garages, and living rooms.
We value transparency over exaggeration. That's why we provide lab-tested dehumidification capacities in three environments for your informed choice:
ยท115 pints/day at 86ยฐF, 80% RH ยท73 pints/day at 80ยฐF, 60% RH ยท50 pints/day at 65ยฐF, 60% RH
We know buying our dehumidifier is a big decision. That's why we offer ๐-๐๐๐๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐. We're here for more than just a sale - we're here to foster customers for life!
Q1. How can I compare the true dehumidifying capacity of different dehumidifiers?
A1. The dehumidifying capacity of a dehumidifier is affected by ambient temperature and humidity. The higher the temperature and humidity, the more effective the dehumidifier. For example, the Gasbye DryPrime-50 dehumidifier can remove: 115 pints/day at 86ยฐF, 80% RH ; 73 pints/day at 80ยฐF, 60% RH ;50 pints/day at 65ยฐF, 60% RH. To fairly compare different dehumidifiers, check their performance on the EnergyStar Gov, which provides dehumidifying capacity based on 65ยฐF, 60% RH conditions for a more accurate assessment of real-world efficiency.
Q2. Does the warm air from a dehumidifier increase AC costs in summer? Why do some dehumidifiers emit more warm air than others?
A2. Dehumidifiers work similarly to air conditioners, which also emit warm air during operation. Although this warm air slightly increases the AC's cooling energy use, it reduces the AC's dehumidification burden. By letting your air conditioner (2000-3000 watts) focus on cooling rather than dehumidifying, running a dehumidifier (500 watts) will typically lower your overall energy bill. Stronger dehumidifiers emit more warm air, while weaker ones emit less. Weโve observed that some consumers are pleased when their new dehumidifier emits less warm air than their old one. However, this often simply means that the new unit has a lower dehumidifying capacity. As mentioned above, the amount of warm air emitted by the dehumidifier does not increase your electricity bill. In fact, it can actually reduce it (counterintuitive but trueโyou can search for more information if interested.)
Q3. What's the difference between 300-500 watt compressor dehumidifiers and 60-100 watt semiconductor-based dehumidifiers? Which is more energy-efficient?
A3. In terms of cooling technology, compressor dehumidifiers are 5-6 times more efficient than semiconductor-based ones. Although a semiconductor-based dehumidifier consumes only 60-100 watts and seems more energy-efficient, you would need a bunch of them to effectively dehumidify a space larger than 300 sq ft. In contrast, a single 300-500 watt compressor dehumidifier can quickly reduce the humidity in a large room.
Q4. What environments are compressor-based dehumidifiers suitable for?
A4. The Gasbye DryPrime-50 is a compressor-based dehumidifier with an internal compressor that causes vibrations and noise. With a noise level around 45dB, it's relatively quiet but may not be ideal for small spaces like bedrooms. It's better suited for medium or large spaces where a bit of noise is acceptable, such as basements, garages, and living rooms. Additionally, if your flooring (such as in a wooden attic) is prone to echoing with even slight vibrations, it is not advisable to use any compressor-based equipment (including portable ACs and dehumidifiers). Tips: Many families in high humidity areas use dehumidifiers in their bedrooms. To avoid the noise, they often run the dehumidifier during the day when they're out and turn it off at night. Since dehumidifiers work quickly and bedrooms are well-sealed spaces with limited moisture, they don't need to run 24/7 and can be turned off at night for a quieter environment.
Q5. Is ENERGY STAR the same as ENERGY STAR Most Efficient? Are ENERGY STAR Most Efficient 2023 and ENERGY STAR Most Efficient 2024 the same?
A5. The US EPA has set two certification standards for dehumidifier energy efficiency. The ENERGY STAR certification indicates good energy efficiency, while the ENERGY STAR Most Efficient certification recognizes the top-performing products in energy efficiency. In 2024, the US EPA raised the most efficiency standards. Gasbye is the fastest brand to meet this new standard. This is because big brands often have large inventories of older models that need to be sold before introducing new standards, which can take 1-2 years.
