Beat the dampness of the rainy season and enjoy a comfortable dry environment! Thoroughly reviewing clothes dryer dehumidifiers.
Clothes dryer dehumidifiers are incredibly useful during times when you can't comfortably dry laundry outdoors. Compared to drum-type washing machines or bathroom dryers, their advantages include lower initial cost and electricity bills, as well as being gentler on clothes. Furthermore, they are versatile, capable of dehumidifying entire rooms or even clothes inside closets.
This time, we tested the latest products from various manufacturers, categorizing them into two groups based on applicable floor area. PR TIMES is announcing the results for four products in the 15-tatami mat or larger class.

Comfortably supporting indoor drying: "Clothes Dryer Dehumidifier (15+ Tatami Mat Class)" TOP 4
Flawless clothes drying and dehumidification! A perfect unit for the rainy season.
【Best Buy · 1st Place / 87.5 points】Mitsubishi Electric "Kusei Datsushu Joshitsuki Bikuukan MJ-PHDV24YX"
Actual Price: 126,500 yen
This unit received an impeccable evaluation, scoring full marks in both clothes drying and dehumidification tests, and also ranking first in quietness and functionality. Especially for clothes drying, which had the highest evaluation weight in this test, the drying result was so impressive that exclamations like "Oh, it's dry!" were heard after the test. Its dehumidifying performance was also excellent, capable of removing over 70% of humidity. This single unit perfectly handles both clothes drying and dehumidification.
Clothes Drying: 30.0 / 30 points
Dehumidification: 20.0 / 20 points
Power Consumption: 9.0 / 15 points
Quietness: 4.5 / 5 points
Installability: 4.0 / 5 points
Functionality: 4.7 / 5 points
Maintenance: 8.0 / 10 points
Usability: 7.3 / 10 points
Recommended for year-round indoor drying for its lower power consumption and minimal maintenance burden!
【2nd Place / 79.6 points】Panasonic "F-YEX200D"
Actual Price: 109,890 yen
This unit is highly versatile, achieving second place overall in both clothes drying and dehumidification, with other good results across the board. A major difference from other products is its outlet louvers. They are divided into two independent parts that move separately, and at the tip of the louvers, there's a variable part called a "flap." By changing the angle of the flap, the airflow can be varied, allowing for wide-ranging air delivery throughout the room. Another key point is the ease of daily maintenance. The areas requiring regular maintenance are designed to be few: the left and right filters, the water tank, and the main unit itself.
The operating noise of "Quick Dry+" in clothes drying mode was slightly more noticeable than other products.

【3rd Place / 75.0 points】Sharp "CV-UH160"
Actual Price: 84,800 yen
Among the products tested this time, this unit received the highest evaluation for usability, thanks to features like easy drain tank removal and easy relocation of the main unit.

【4th Place / 72.0 points】Corona "CD-WH1825"
Actual Price: 59,620 yen
A key appeal of this unit is its flexible operation tailored to clothes, as it allows for airflow adjustment separate from the clothes drying mode and can enhance drying efficiency by using a heater (though power consumption increases).
