The AGLucky OL12D-D023B, also sold as the Auseo OL12D-D023B and KISSAIR D4212B-UC at some retailers, is a 9-pint dehumidifier intended for medium-sized rooms. It has an LED multifunction display and an automatic shutoff for when the 0.5 gal (2.0 L) water tank is filled. There's also a drain hole for continuous drainage, though there's no pump for draining into elevated containers.

Our Verdict

7.1 Basement

The AGLucky OL12D-D023B is a decent option for basement use. Its capacity is somewhat low, so it isn't the best option for larger open-concept basements, though it certainly isn't bad for smaller dens. You can set it up to drain continuously, which is great if you want to leave it running for extended periods. That said, it lacks a drain pump, so you can't really have it drain into an elevated sink or closed container.

Pros
  • Compact body.
  • Supports continuous drainage.
Cons
  • Mediocre dehumidification capacity.
  • No drainage pump.
7.5 Bathroom

The AGLucky OL12D-D023B is good for use in bathrooms. It's rather compact, making it a solid option for small and medium-sized bathrooms. That also aligns with its general dehumidification performance; its capacity is a little too low to draw the moisture out of the air in bigger bathrooms. Its 2.0L water tank is a little small, but you can also drain it continuously with a hose hookup. Unfortunately, there's no drain pump that would allow it to drain water into an elevated vessel or sink.

Pros
  • Generates little in the way of heat.
  • Compact body.
  • Supports continuous drainage.
Cons
  • Mediocre dehumidification capacity.
  • No drainage pump.
6.9 Large Room

The AGLucky OL12D-D023B is an okay option for large rooms. It runs very quietly, so it won't be overly disruptive if you have it running while watching TV. However, it has a somewhat low dehumidification capacity and can't generate that much air movement in especially large, open spaces.

Pros
  • Compact body.
  • Operates quietly.
Cons
  • Mediocre dehumidification capacity.
  • Very low max airflow.
7.8 Bedroom

The AGLucky OL12D-D023B is a very good fit for bedrooms. It doesn't make much noise while running, which is good if you're a light sleeper, and it doesn't generate all that much heat, which is great if you live in an already hot environment. It can also maintain a low airflow, so it won't be too disruptive if you have it placed nearby while trying to sleep. In terms of raw dehumidification performance, it's really only best-suited for smaller and medium-sized spaces, and might struggle a little in especially big bedrooms.

Pros
  • Generates little in the way of heat.
  • Compact body.
  • Operates quietly.
Cons
  • Mediocre dehumidification capacity.
6.3 Capacity

The AGLucky OL12D-D023B has a mediocre dehumidification capacity. It's best suited for use in small and medium-sized rooms.

Pros
Cons
  • Mediocre dehumidification capacity.
8.4 Noise

The AGLucky OL12D-D023B operates impressively quietly. Even if you leave it running while watching TV, listening to music, or entertaining guests, it won't cause much of a disturbance.

Pros
  • Operates quietly.
Cons
7.7 Temperature Stability

The AGLucky OL12D-D023B does a good job of maintaining a stable temperature while running. You can leave it to run for hours without substantially heating smaller rooms.

Pros
  • Generates little in the way of heat.
Cons
  • 7.1 Basement
  • 7.5 Bathroom
  • 6.9 Large Room
  • 7.8 Bedroom

Differences Between Sizes And Variants

The AGLucky OL12D-D023B, also sold as the Auseo OL12D-D023B and KISSAIR D4212B-UC at some retailers, is only available in a White colorway. You can see the label of the unit we tested here.

Let us know in the comments if you come across another variant.

Compared To Other Dehumidifiers

The AGLucky OL12D-D023B is a 9-pint dehumidifier. Its relatively compact size, quiet operating noise, and low heat output make it a good option for tighter living rooms, bathrooms, or bedrooms, more so than the similarly-sized Waykar PD160B. You can also set it up to drain continuously. That said, its capacity is a little too low for anything other than small rooms.

This dehumidifier has an okay overall airflow performance. Like the similarly-sized Waykar PD160B, its range of fan speed options is limited. At its highest fan speed, its airflow is quite low, and it'll struggle to generate enough air movement to dehumidify larger open spaces. That said, its lowest fan speed setting produces impressively low airflow, which can be helpful if you have the device nearby while trying to sleep.
