Buying a dehumidifier on Black Friday? Here's the one thing you need to check first

Honeywell 50-Pint Energy Star Portable Dehumidifier in kitchen.

Black Friday dehumidifier deals are hard to resist when you're dealing with damp basements, musty bathrooms, or moisture problems anywhere in your home. The discounts look great, and it's tempting to just grab whatever's on sale and call it done. But choosing the wrong size will cost you more in the long run.

Buy one that's too small and it'll run constantly without making a dent in your humidity problem. Buy one that's too large and you're wasting money and energy on capacity you don't need. The difference between a 16-pint and 50-pint model isn't arbitrary.
