How to choose
Pints standards matter
Pints per day figures use different standards, so compare them with the standard named. The Midea is rated at 50 pints (2012 DOE) per day. The Waykar, AEOCKY and ZAFRO give pints figures with no DOE standard stated, so do not rank them against the Midea figure directly. Check the standard next to each pints figure before comparing two units.
Window mount versus floor units
Only the ZAFRO mounts in a window, with an installation kit and a remote. The Waykar, AEOCKY and Midea stand on the floor and cover larger rooms. A window unit suits a single room with a fitting window, while a floor unit moves to wherever moisture builds. Measure the window and the room before choosing.
Drainage, tanks and timers
A drain hose removes the need to empty a tank, while a large tank means fewer trips to empty it. The Waykar empties through a 3.5 L tank or a 3.3-foot hose, the AEOCKY pumps upward through a 5-meter hose, and the Midea has a 15.9 L tank with a hose. The Waykar and ZAFRO have 24-hour timers, and the AEOCKY has a timer, so you can schedule runs for off-peak hours.
