Our Verdict
GE APYR50LC
LG PuriCare Sonoran
The LG PuriCare Sonoran and GE APYR50LC each have their own advantages. The LG can dehumidify an equivalently sized space a little faster thanks to its higher dehumidification capacity, and it runs considerably quieter than the GE. The LG also has less impact on a room's temperature, though its performance isn't particularly impressive in this respect. Meanwhile, the GE features a pump for drainage into an elevated basin and has a slightly slimmer overall profile.
