By reducing the level of moisture in basements, living rooms, bedrooms and other living areas in the home, a dehumidifier can also help limit the growth of mold and mildew, which thrive in highhumidity environments.

In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the use of dehumidifiers to slow mold growth by keeping humidity levels at less than 50 percent—especially during damp and humid months. There are a numberof options available when choosing a dehumidifier, so it is important to consider where and howit will be used and what size is needed for your space, and also to comparethe available features that can help with the overall user experience.
