PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a handle device of a dehumidifier with good appearance and easy to grip. SOLUTION: This handle device comprises a synthetic resin-made upper grip 23 with a reverse concave cross section; a synthetic resin-made lower grip 24 fitted into an opening of the upper grip 23 from the under side; and reinforcing fittings 25 disposed in a space surrounded by the upper grip 23 and lower grip 24. The lower grip 24 is protruded lower than a lower end edge 23a of the upper grip 23 at least at a central grip part 31, forming a step 33 at the protruded part 32. This step 33 allows the finger joints to be easily hooked when carrying a dehumidifier which is a heavy load, forming the handle device easy to grip with good appearance. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
