If your laundry room or basement feels like a sauna, you’re in serious need of a dehumidifier. High moisture levels can cause mold and mildew, and a dehumidifier helps keep the air in your space balanced — and dangerous bacteria at bay. It also ensures your AC is working to its full capability.

Don’t know where to start? Amazon just marked down one of its top-rated models — the Tosot Energy Star Dehumidifier — 20 percent off, just for today.

The Amazon’s Choice dehumidifiers are available in two sizes — 20 pint and 35 pint — to correspond to the size of the room they’ll be in. The 20-pint model is ideal for rooms up to 1,500 square feet, while the 35 pint can handle up to 3,000 square feet. Both gizmos operate on a 24-hour cycle.

Emptying out the accumulated water is easy: Just attach the unit to a hose and it’ll automatically drain. You can also use the included water bucket to empty it out. Plus, because it’s an Energy Star product, it’ll work efficiently and effectively, so you won’t see a hike in your energy bill.

Amazon shoppers love this machine — nearly 1,900 shoppers gave the product a perfect five-star rating.

“We have had numerous dehumidifiers for our 1,500-square ft basement, where we keep several bookshelves of books that would deteriorate in high humidity,” one bookworm shared. “This 30-pint dehumidifier is exceptionally efficient, pulling moisture out of the air even when there are heavy rains. Recommend this unit HIGHLY. Easy to set up; filter access is easy. We attach a drain hose to our unit, so don't have to empty the reservoir. Water just drips into the downstairs basement drain.”

Another shopper gleefully reported: “This unit has made our place in Florida much more livable. When there we use the bucket mode which we typically empty daily. Very easy to do and slides together well...It works great all summer and keeps the house at proper humidity without having to run the air conditioner much.”

“We were borrowing a dinosaur dehumidifier from the ‘90s from a friend and finally decided to bite the bullet and buy this,” one shopper noted. “It pulls a TON of water out of our finished basement each day, easily a gallon or more, and has really made the area feel much nicer and more comfortable, less damp and cold. I find my kids spending more time playing and relaxing down there as a result. And that's more than worth the price of this thing!”
