Best Dehumidifiers in Singapore

If you want a do-it-all dehumidifier for a medium-sized home or apartment, the Sterra Sun™ is for you. It’s ideal for families in humid climates who are battling mold or dampness.

You ever walk into a room and feel the air’s just… too much? Sticky, damp, uncomfortable? Well, the Sterra Sun™ Dehumidifier is like hitting the refresh button. Quiet, compact, and powerful — it’s basically the “Dyson” of dehumidifiers.

It pulls up to 12 litres of moisture a day (we didn’t believe it at first), and surprisingly, it lives up to the hype. Whether it’s rainy laundry days or just Singapore humidity doing its thing, this unit keeps the air dry and breathable.

What really sold us, though, is the app. You’re not stuck pressing buttons on the machine — you can adjust everything from your phone. Set the humidity, schedule a timer, or just check how it’s doing from the couch.

And then there are the little things that make a big difference. Auto shut-off when the tank’s full (no floods), a hose option for continuous draining (for the lazy days), and smooth wheels so you can roll it room to room without breaking your back.

It’s quiet enough for bedrooms, smart enough for techies, and simple enough that anyone can use it — basically, it’s the kind of appliance you don’t just tolerate. You actually like having it around.

Now, while the Sterra Sun™ checks a lot of boxes, it’s not exactly featherlight. It weighs around 12 kg, which isn’t too bad if you’re just rolling it from room to room (thanks to the wheels) but lifting it up stairs or tucking it into a tight storage spot might take a bit of muscle. If you’re planning to move it often, especially between floors, just be prepared for a bit of a workout.

One other small gripe we had was that, despite having a built-in air purifier, it doesn’t come with a HEPA filter. You’ll need to get it separately. We didn’t think to buy one at the same time we got the dehumidifier so if you’re going to get this, make sure to add the filter in your cart as well.

Overall though, it’s a top notch dehumidifier that has more than meets the eye. Inside its mechanical body are features that’ll suit your home’s needs.

• Type & Capacity: Home dehumidifier | Up to 12 L/day (30 °C, 80% RH) | Covers rooms up to ~30 m²
• Water Tank: 3.2 L removable tank | Auto shut-off when full | Continuous drainage option
• Noise Level: ≤ 45 dB | Quiet enough for bedrooms | Low-vibration operation
• Smart Features: Humidity sensor with LED indicator | App control | 2–8h timer | Child lock
• Air Purification: Optional HEPA11 filter | Helps reduce allergens & odours | Dual-function capability
• Size & Power: 29.5 × 29.5 × 56 cm | 12 kg | 228 W power consumption | Caster wheels for easy movement

This is perfect for someone who wants both a dehumidifier and air purifier but might lack space (or budget) for two separate devices. Apartment dwellers and small homeowners up to ~38 m² will get the most out of the Novita ND2+. It’s especially good for those with mild allergies or sensitivity to dust and mold

The Novita ND2+ is a close contender to the Sterra one. Why you ask?

Well, think of it like this, the Novita one feels like the multi-talented cousin of the Sterra Sun™.

Aside from being a dehumidifier, it’s got a built-in air purifier, which means it can also keep your air free of dust, allergens, and pet dander. We saw this feature at work when our friend who had some serious sinus allergies noted how his nose didn’t itch much when he was at our place. That got us thinking, “why didn’t we get this sooner?“

Performance-wise, it’s not far behind our top pick. It extracts up to 13L of water a day and easily handles medium-sized rooms — around 38m².

So, if you’re after clean air and dry air in one good-looking unit? This one earns its runner-up spot fair and square.

Our only small gripe is the 2.5L tank — it works fine, but in really humid weather, it fills up quicker than you’d expect. You’ll probably need to empty it a couple of times a day unless you hook up the included drain hose, which honestly makes life a lot easier.

That said, we did notice the dehumidifying power dips slightly when the HEPA filter is in use. It’s still effective, just not as fast — especially if you’re trying to bring the humidity down quickly. If you’re running it on purifier mode, expect to use the higher fan setting more often, which can get a little louder.

• Type & Capacity: 2-in-1 dehumidifier + HEPA air purifier | Up to 13 L/day (30 °C, 80% RH)
• Water Tank: 2.5 L tank | Auto shut-off | Continuous drain hose included
• Noise Level: ~35–45 dB | Quiet DC motor | Suitable for light sleepers
• Smart Features: Humidity setting options | UV-C sterilisation | 5 fan speeds | Ioniser
• Air Purification: H13 HEPA + activated carbon filter | Captures 99.97% of 0.3µm particles
• Size & Power: 30.9 × 20.0 × 45.5 cm | 10.4 kg | 145–205 W | Compact and slim design

It’s designed for folks with large areas (think 50–100 m²) or severe humidity problems. Anyone with multiple rooms to cover or a very wet environment (e.g. near the coast or during monsoon season) will appreciate this unit’s capacity.

The LG PuriCare™ 34L is…let’s just say—if dehumidifiers had a big sibling, this would be it.

It’s made for serious moisture situations. We’re talking large rooms, open-plan flats, even basements.

With a whopping 34L/day capacity, this LG dehumidifier works like a man on a mission. We once ran it during a particularly damp week and couldn’t believe how much water it pulled out in just one day.

Add to that the fact you can set exact humidity levels and control everything straight from your phone? It’s the kind of hands-off, high-performance unit that just works (as expected from LG). If you need something heavy-duty and reliable, this one’s hard to beat.

But because it’s built for big spaces, you can expect it to be a bit of a heavyweight. At around 18 kg and nearly 64 cm tall, this isn’t something you’ll want to carry up and down stairs often. That said, it comes with sturdy handles and smooth wheels, so moving it around one floor isn’t too much of a hassle.

On the price front, it’s definitely more of a premium buy. You’re paying for the power, the smart features, and the LG brand. It’s worth it if you’ve got a large space or serious humidity issues, but if you’re just dehumidifying a small bedroom occasionally, this might be more than you need.

• Type & Capacity: High-capacity home dehumidifier | Up to 34 L/day | Ideal for large rooms (90–100 m²)
• Water Tank: ~4 L side bucket | Auto shut-off | Continuous drain option
• Noise Level: ~32 dB (Silent Mode) | Dual Inverter Compressor | Ultra-quiet and stable
• Smart Features: LG ThinQ app control | Digital humidity display | Auto/laundry/timer modes
• Air Purification: Built-in ioniser | UVnano fan sterilisation | Maintains clean internal airflow
• Size & Power: 41.0 × 64.0 × 21.0 cm | ~17 kg | ~245 W | Hidden wheels + handle

This is the dehumidifier for light sleepers, nursery rooms, or anyone who’s noise-sensitive. It’s aimed at small to medium spaces (roughly 20–25 m² like bedrooms, studies or small living rooms).

Small bedroom? Light sleeper? No problem. If what you need is a quiet, reliable dehumidifier for a small to mid-sized space, the Xiaomi Smart Dehumidifier Lite is for you.

It’s small but seriously powerful. It pulls up to 13L of moisture a day, and the 3L tank lasts me nearly the whole day. But the real game-changer? It’s so quiet. Like, I literally forgot it was on. we’ve used it while sleeping, working, watching shows. Not a single distraction! It’s just doing its thing in the background, and we only notice when we check and the tank’s half full.

What makes it extra convenient is how smart it is. Through the Mi Home app, you can check humidity levels, set schedules, adjust modes — even control it with voice commands.

But hey, no product is without its quirks. While we’ve had a great experience, it’s worth noting that this dehumidifier isn’t built for large, open areas. If you’re expecting it to dry out your entire living room or a super humid basement, it might not hit those levels. It’s really best for bedrooms, study spaces, or smaller areas where it can do its job properly. And yeah — during extra damp days, the 3L tank fills up faster, but there’s a drain hose option if you want to skip the daily emptying.

Another thing to keep in mind is that it’s strictly a dehumidifier — not an air purifier. It has a basic antibacterial filter, but no HEPA or fancy air-cleaning features. And while we love the smart app functions, the initial Wi-Fi setup can be a little fiddly (classic Xiaomi). Nothing major, but worth knowing. Overall though, for what it does and how quietly it does it? Still a solid pick, especially if you’re using it in the right space.

• Type & Capacity: Compact smart dehumidifier | Up to 13 L/day | Best for small–mid rooms (~25 m²)
• Water Tank: 3.0 L capacity | Auto shut-off | Hose-supported continuous drainage
• Noise Level: ~34 dB (Sleep Mode) | Ultra-quiet brushless motor | Baby/nursery-friendly
• Smart Features: Mi Home app | Auto/Sleep/Laundry modes | Voice assistant support
• Air Purification: Washable antibacterial filter | No HEPA (not a full purifier)
• Size & Power: ~30 × 30 × 58 cm | ~10.5 kg | ~240 W | Hidden wheels for mobility

This mini dehumidifier is made for those small, often-damp spots like wardrobes, cabinets, under-sink areas, or even a cozy bathroom. If you have a storage closet where shoes or bags get that musty smell, the iFan IF3253 will help.

If you’re looking for something small and affordable to keep your cabinets and closets dry, the iFan Electric Mini Dehumidifier (IF3253) is a no-brainer.

It’s compact enough to fit in a wardrobe, shoe cabinet, or even a corner of your bedroom without being in the way. We’ve left it running in our closet for a couple of days and were honestly surprised at how much water it collected — about a full glass worth. For a unit that’s smaller than your average waste bin, that’s pretty impressive.

Operating it is as easy as it gets — just plug it in and press the button. It runs quietly too (basically whisper-level), so you can use it in a bedroom or baby’s room without worry.

One thing we really liked was how portable it is. We’ve moved it from our wardrobe to the pantry to a damp corner near the bathroom, and it’s like carrying tiny rain-collecting elf. It’s lightweight and doesn’t require any filters or complicated maintenance. Definitely a smart upgrade from those single-use moisture absorber tubs.

The only catch with the iFan is that it’s really meant for small spaces. It does great in wardrobes and cabinets, but if you’re hoping to dry out a large room or open area, it just won’t cut it. At around 900 mL/day, it’s best as a spot dehumidifier, not a whole-room solution.

It also works better in warmer environments. In colder rooms or strong air-con, you might notice it collecting moisture more slowly — totally normal for its thermo-electric design. And while it’s super quiet, there’s still a faint hum and soft glow from the LED, which some light sleepers might want to switch off at night.

• Type & Capacity: Mini Peltier dehumidifier | ~0.9 L/day moisture removal | Best for wardrobes & cabinets
• Water Tank: 3.8 L tank | Auto shut-off with full-tank alert | No hose option
• Noise Level: ~20–30 dB | Virtually silent | Ideal for bedrooms or night use
• Smart Features: One-button control | 1–24h timer | Optional 7-colour LED night light
• Air Purification: Washable dust filter only | No HEPA purification
• Size & Power: ~28 × 15 × 15 cm | ~2 kg | ~40 W | Lightweight and portable

This Philips 5000 Series is ideal for those who want a high-end solution to multiple problems at once: high humidity, indoor air pollution, and slow-drying laundry. It’s great for large spaces or multi-room use (up to about 104 m² for dehumidifying), so if you have a big living area or an entire flat you want to cover, it’s up to the task.

If you hang your laundry indoors, the Philips DE5305 is honestly such a win. We tried it out during a rainy week, and the Dry Laundry mode made a huge difference. Cotton clothes dried fast, while our jeans needed a bit of help from our fan. Still, the fact that it was able to dry our laundry during a rainy day gets this Philips dehumidifier a top award.

What’s cool is that it also works as a proper air purifier. Just like the other models here, it helped cleaned the air especially after cooking or when it was hazy outside. There’s even a little light ring on the front that tells you how good (or bad) the air is — kinda satisfying to watch it turn blue.

All in, if you want one machine that dries your laundry and clears the air? This one takes the cake.

The only thing to note with the Philips DE5305 is that it can get a bit loud when running on high modes like Laundry or Turbo. It’s fine on lower settings, but once it ramps up, it sounds more like a strong fan — not ideal for light sleepers or quiet spaces. We mostly ran it in the living room where it wasn’t an issue.

It’s also on the bulky side. At over 14 kg, you won’t be lugging it up and down stairs casually. Plus, it’s not the cheapest option — you’re paying for three functions in one, which makes sense if you’ll use them all, but might be overkill if you just need basic dehumidifying. Still, for big spaces and indoor laundry drying, it really earns its keep.
