The Levoit Smart Dehumidifier brings large-space coverage, smart controls and hands-free drainage to support whole-home moisture management

TUSTIN, Calif., Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Levoit, the No. 1 humidifier brand in the U.S.[1], is bringing its home humidity expertise to the dehumidifier category, with the launch of the Levoit Smart Dehumidifier. Available now on Levoit.com and Amazon for $299.99, the Smart Dehumidifier combines powerful dehumidification with hassle-free features.

Excess humidity can make a home feel stuffy, encourage mold growth and mustiness and put a strain on comfort, especially in basements and larger homes where smaller dehumidifiers may struggle to keep up. Engineered to take on larger spaces with a 2025 ENERGY STAR Most Efficient rating, it delivers powerful dehumidification of up to 84 pints[2] covering up to 4,500 square feet[3] while running quietly and keeping energy costs in check.

Key features of the Levoit Smart Dehumidifier include:

2025 ENERGY STAR Most Efficient: The Smart Dehumidifier has earned ENERGY STAR’s highest efficiency tier thanks to Levoit’s rotary compressor and optimized refrigeration system that delivers an integrated energy factor (IEF) of 1.88, helping save energy and overall operating costs.Hassle-Free Removable Pump: The detachable pump provides flexible drainage and easy maintenance, and also supports elevated drainage up to 10 feet in distance or height for continuous, hands-off operation.Powerful Dehumidification: Removes up to 84 pints of moisture per day, covering basements, living rooms and other spaces up to 4,500 square feet[2], guarding large areas against dampness, mustiness and mold caused by high humidity.Advanced Auto Mode & One-Touch Presets: Automatically senses room conditions and adjusts to maintain preferred humidity[4], while three, one-touch presets let you quickly select your preferred humidity level.Smart Control with E-Save Mode: Conveniently set target humidity and run times through the VeSync app. With E-Save Mode, the dehumidifier will run at a lower fan speed during peak hours, helping users save on energy bills.  MERV 11 Filtration: Features a MERV 11 filter to help keep the internal chamber clean and reduces dust buildup over time.Quiet Operation & Ventilation Mode: Runs at just 46 dB on its lowest dehumidifying setting for comfortable, all-day use, and includes a fan-only ventilation mode to circulate air when dehumidification isn’t needed.

“Levoit has spent years perfecting how humidity shapes a more comfortable home, so moving into dehumidification was a natural next step,” said Charlie Park, Vice President of Research, Design & Development at Levoit. “We wanted our first dehumidifier to set the standard for the category: powerful, efficient, and effortless to use and maintain. With the Smart Dehumidifier, that’s exactly what we’ve delivered.”
