hOmeLabs 4,500 Sq Ft Wi-Fi Dehumidifier 32 Pint

Summary

A compressor dehumidifier for large rooms, rated at 32 pints for spaces up to 4,500 sq ft, with app control and automatic shut-off. Check the return terms first: owners report units that stop pulling water and units that die just after the first year.

Strengths

Current owners report fast moisture removal and a bucket that is easy to empty.
Fans are described as quiet or close to white noise.
App control is useful in a basement or bedroom you don’t walk through.
Automatic shut-off lets it run without you watching the tank.
One June 2026 owner says this exact unit held a 700 sq ft apartment below 50% humidity.

Weaknesses

Owners report units failing just outside the first year.
Some units stop collecting water after roughly two to three years.
Drain paths clog, and owners report puddling once the path is restricted.
One owner says the newer generation will not pull humidity down as far as an older hOmeLabs unit.
No instrumented independent test of this exact revision, so the pint and noise figures stay unverified.

Verified specifications

Capacity	32 pints, marketed for spaces up to 4,500 sq ft.
High-heat claim	up to 80 pints at 95°F and 90% relative humidity.
Controls	Wi-Fi app control from a phone, plus automatic shut-off when the tank is full.
Model line	hOmeLabs lists separate 8-, 25- and 50-pint Wi-Fi models, so 32 pints is the current size and not an old label.
Dimensions	10.31 × 13.74 × 21.06 in, 30.2 lb. Those are Target’s shipped estimates, not measured appliance dimensions.
Not published by hOmeLabs	net dimensions, tank volume, rated wattage and Energy Star status.

Full research notes and sources

Which model this is

hOmeLabs now sells this as the 32 Pint Wi-Fi Dehumidifier for spaces up to 4,500 sq ft, and lists 8-, 25- and 50-pint Wi-Fi models alongside it. Plenty of older hOmeLabs 4,500 sq ft reviews describe a 50- or 70-pint generation that shares the square footage but not the hardware. Match the pint rating, not the square footage, when you shop.

The 32-pint and 80-pint figures are not two tank sizes. The 80-pint claim applies to 95°F and 90% relative humidity test conditions.

An owner video of the earlier 70-pint unit reports strong moisture removal and manageable noise. That tells you about the family, not about this revision.

Moisture removal and noise

Owner feedback is the strongest evidence here; nobody has instrumented this exact model. Owners of the current unit praise how fast it pulls water and how little it hums. One July 2026 owner runs three units and says they fill quickly in very humid weather. Another owner in June 2026 used this exact large unit to keep a 700 sq ft apartment below 50% humidity.

Durability and drainage

This is where the risk sits. Current owner feedback includes units failing just outside a year, units that stop collecting water after roughly two to three years, and drain paths that clog until water puddles. One owner says the newer generation will not pull humidity down as far as an older hOmeLabs unit did. Nobody has published a failure rate, so treat this as a known annoyance rather than a defect.

hOmeLabs has sometimes refunded a failure or sent a discount code, but keep the receipt and the box either way.

Ownership costs and support

Running costs are electricity and cleaning. No replacement filter cartridge is listed for this model. hOmeLabs does not publish the warranty duration for this revision on the pages it has up, so confirm the terms before you buy.

Clean the filter and keep the drain path clear on a schedule. Owners tie the puddling to a restricted path.

Is it worth it?

Worth it if you need real capacity in a large, humid room and can live with a product that leans on support. Owners keep it for the moisture removal and the app; durability is the reason to buy from a seller with a painless return. hOmeLabs’ own site listed it at $211.49 in October 2026, so compare that against the store panel above before you order.
