    Buy it now! Don't wait until it's damp to get a dehumidifier

    Consumer Reports News: February 10, 2011 12:55 PM

    With much of the U.S. still buried in snow, dehumidifiers aren't exactly a red-hot retail item at the moment (humidifiers are more likely to be flying off shelves). But once all that snow melts, flooding could be a serious concern for many regions. What's more, the effects of La Nina will likely make it a soaking spring for many northern states, according to the National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center.

    All of which makes now the time to research a dehumidifier. Stores are just starting to stock up on new units as they roll out their spring inventories. Consumer Reports' buying guide to dehumidifiers will help you decide between a large, medium, and small-capacity unit. Our Ratings of 30 models from brands like Frigidaire, GE, and Kenmore will then tell you which dehumidifiers are best at removing water from the air.
