ENERGY STAR says capacity depends on both the area and how damp it is. Its US units and sizing table need comparison with local product labels.

1. Measure room length and width and identify separate spaces such as basements.
2. Classify dampness: occasional mustiness versus persistently wet walls or floors.
3. Use the ENERGY STAR table to compare moisture-removal capacity; convert US pints/day to local liters/day.
4. Allow for extra moisture loads such as indoor clothes drying.
5. Choose a tank or compatible continuous drain, checking drainage routing and overflow risks.
6. Compare efficiency, noise and filter upkeep; fix water leaks rather than relying on dehumidification alone.
