Honeywell does not build its own portable dehumidifiers. They are made and sold under license, and the licensee has changed over the years: Honeywell's support site says a former licensee, Airtek International / JMATEK, is no longer in business and no longer provides customer service, while the TP70AWKN's spec sheet says that model was manufactured by JMATEK. That matters if you own an older unit and need support.
The model line has also changed. The old TP series (TP30, TP50, TP70) used "70 pint" names from before the 2019 DOE test change. The current TP-Fit series uses today's labels, and it is what appears on ENERGY STAR's certified list now.

Honeywell TP70WKN vs TP70AWKN
The difference is the "A". Honeywell's TP70AWKN spec sheet describes it as a smart ENERGY STAR dehumidifier with Wi-Fi connectivity and Alexa voice control, with full-tank and filter-clean alerts. The TP70WKN is the same 50 pint (70 pint pre-2019) class without Wi-Fi. The same pattern holds in the TP-Fit range, where the "A" models (TPFIT50AWK, TPFIT50APWK) add Wi-Fi.
Honeywell vs rivals
| Honeywell TPFIT50PWK | Midea Cube 50 (pump) | Frigidaire FHDP5033Y1 | Hisense ADH50KP26 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DOE pints/day | 49.66 | 49.67 | 49.95 | 49.95 |
| IEF (L/kWh) | 2.01 | 2.01 | 2.01 | 2.01 |
| Est. kWh/yr | 516 | 515 | 520 | 526 |
| Wi-Fi | Separate APWK model | Yes | Yes | No |
| Bucket | Standard | Expanding, about 3x standard | Standard | Standard |
Verdict
Honeywell's current TP-Fit models are as efficient as Midea, Frigidaire and Hisense, and the TPFIT50PWK is a reasonable pump pick. The old TP70WKN is not worth chasing now that it has dropped off ENERGY STAR's list. Because the brand is licensed, check who backs the warranty on the exact model you buy.
