    Energy efficiency

    Energy efficiency

    Energy efficiency measures kWh needed to remove a pint of water from the air; the fewer the kilowatts, the higher the score.

     /  5
    Noise

    Noise

    Noise denotes loudness at the highest setting, measured in decibels. We also measured ability to run on low voltage and restart after a simulated blackout; models that didn't automatically restart are footnoted.
