If rainy, humid weather leaves rooms in your home clammy, consider getting a good dehumidifier. Consumer Reports says many now come with features that make them much easier to use. Testers just evaluated more than a dozen to find a good one for less.

Kimberly Joseph and her family like to watch TV in her basement. But without a dehumidifier, it'd be too uncomfortable.

"The first thing we did was get the dehumidifier in so that way we would have a dry basement and it would be inviting to come down here," Joseph said.

"Dehumidifiers are your best choice when temperatures are cool and humidity is high," said Consumer Reports' Jim Nanni.

Consumer Reports tested 17 dehumidifiers in three different sizes―including large-capacity. They're are good for larger, very wet spaces―like a basement.

To assess a dehumidifier's ability to remove water, testers place it in a humidity-controlled chamber. After four hours, testers remove the bucket and weigh how much water has been pulled from the air.

"All the dehumidifiers scored well in our testing, but some didn't remove as much moisture as they claim," Nanni said.

Testers also measure noise levels.

Another plus, all the dehumidifiers shut off automatically when the tank is full.

For a large-capacity dehumidifier, Consumer Reports recommends the Danby, model D-D-R 606. It did an excellent job removing water from the air, is energy efficient, and pretty quiet, too. And at 250 dollars, it's also a Consumer Reports Best Buy.

It's essential you buy a dehumidifier based on how much moisture is in the air. For rooms that are not very wet, Consumer Reports recommends a medium-capacity dehumidifier from LG, model L-H-D-45-E-B-L. At 200 dollars, it's also a Best Buy.
