Because of the moisture from showers and tubs, bathrooms are more prone to mold and mildew problems than almost any other room of the home. At the same time, because bathrooms are among the smallest rooms in most homes, many dehumidifiers will not fit conveniently in them. Therefore, if you need a dehumidifier for a bathroom, choose a mini or small unit that is designed for tight spaces.
Here are five mini or small dehumidifiers ideal for most bathrooms. The mini dehumidifiers will extract less than 16 ounces of moisture a day and are priced from $48 to $60. The small dehumidifiers extract 30 to 40 pints of moisture a day and are priced from $158 to $210.
