Our Verdict

GE ADHL35LA

Hisense HD3526

The GE ADHL35LA and Hisense HD3526 are pretty evenly matched 35-pint dehumidifiers. The Hisense has a slightly larger water tank that won't need to be emptied as often, though neither unit has a drain pump. It also runs quieter than the GE at its max fan speed. Meanwhile, the GE runs slightly more efficiently and has a lower minimum airflow for less disruptive operation in smaller spaces.
