10 Best Dehumidifiers in Malaysia

1. Simplus Air Dehumidifier

Best overall

This Simplus Air Dehumidifier has all things going that make it deserves top spot as our best overall pick. For starters, it uses a semiconductor subcooling condenser system, which is highly efficient and has a dehumidifying capability of 300ml/day, and is also BPA-free and produces zero chemical pollution. The operation only requires 23W, which is energy-saving, and the 35dB noise means it’s really quiet and perfect for a bedroom placement. Overall, this Simplus Dehumidifier is suitable for a room size of up to 25㎡. 

Easy to use with one-touch operation

Designed for ease of use, the Simplus Air Dehumidifier uses a one-touch – no other setting – so it’s an ideal choice if you have elderly people in your home. The 600ml water tank is a decent size to last between 2 to 3 days before you have to drain the water, and there’s a smart water sensor technology that lets you know when the tank is full. For safety, it automatically shuts down and will not turn on until the tank is emptied. 

It may not be the best dehumidifier in the list, and there’s no bells and whistles of premium features, but it’s a good, high-quality no-frills dehumidifier for most people – and it’s reasonably priced, too! The design feels robust and looks expensive, and it comes with a 1 year warranty. 

Why buy this:

• Reasonable price
• Suitable for up to 25㎡room size
• 600ml water tank
• Smart water tank sensor
• 1 year warranty

2. SwissThomas Household Dehumidifier

Compact and minimal footprint

This SwissThomas Household Dehumidifier is an ideal choice if your space is limited. With only 23cm x 16cm x 14cm dimension, this appliance has a minimal footprint. What’s unique is, despite its compact form, it has a large water tank with 800ml capacity, thus making it a very good value for money. This water tank is also transparent so the amount of water is clearly visible. Besides that, it’s also equipped with an air outlet that can deliver air at a large quantity, making the dehumidifying process quicker. 

Energy-saving operation

Perhaps due to its small size, this SwissThomas dehumidifier is only capable for small rooms with a maximum size of 20㎡. However, it only operates at 22W for energy-saving and, although it’s not as small as most portable dehumidifiers, it’s also still very easy to transport. Lastly, it comes with a 2 years warranty for peace of mind. 

Why buy this:

• Compact and minimal footprint
• 800ml water tank capacity
• Good value for money
• Low energy operation at 22W

3. Firenzzi 7L Water Tank Dehumidifiers FDX-7000

Best premium

This top-end Firenzzi FDX-7000 Dehumidifier has a superior dehumidifying capability. But it’s undoubtedly expensive – worth it for those looking for the best quality, but can be too much of a spending for most. For that, though, you get a wide range of advanced features, a large 7L water tank capacity, and a sleek, premium-looking appliance for your modern home. 

Anti-frost protection and air ionisation function

One of its best highlights is the Anti-Frost Protection system that prevents the coils of the dehumidifier from freezing in a low temperature environment. This extends the lifespan of your appliance, and can be helpful especially if you live in a cold weather region or constantly using air conditioners at home. Apart from that, Firenzzi FDX-7000 also has an air ionisation function – it charges ion particles to harmful airborne substances in the air such as bacteria, viruses and mould. Therefore, not only it’s durable, but also keeps the air quality in your home healthy. 

Easy to use with user-friendly LED Digital Display

Designed for ease of use, it has a user-friendly LED digital display, two adjustable fan speeds, and 24-hour timer. It has a dehumidifying capability of 60L per day – which is very impressive – and can handle a room size between 46㎡ to 148㎡. It’s suitable to dehumidify your whole home at once. If you want to use it to dry your clothes, simply place it in your drying room and your clothes will be dried a lot faster. 

Perhaps due to its power, this Firenzzi FDX-7000 is pretty loud at 53dB noise level. But it can definitely be quieter in a low speed setting. It’s made from SW03 ABS plastic that’s super durable, waterproof and dustproof. Plus, it also comes with a 1 year warranty. 

Why buy this:

• Large 7L water tank
• Anti-frost protection
