Comment: It’s helping, but not solving our moisture problem.
Rated:
This review is from: Rebecca Tench (Durham, NC United States)We have a damp basement and were experiencing some mold, so we bought this dehumidifier and hooked up a hose and turned it on about a month ago. It’s run for a solid month and has not reached the percentage we set (50%), but it has kept the humidity between 60-65% (took it about three days to get from 75% to 60/65% reliably).
The basement definitely feels a lot better, so it’s helping.
I’ve never had a dehumidifier and so I’m not sure how poor a performance this is, but it’s so big and heavy I can’t imagine shipping it back. I bought the smaller sized unit thinking that the only difference between that and the larger was the size of the bucket, but I do wonder if it just needs a more powerful motor. The size of the room we’re working with is less than 300 sq ft, but it’s connected to another room via a doorway that does not have a door that’s another 300 sq ft.

Comment: Great Product
Rated:
This review is from: R. Ochman (PA)I received this dehumidifier a few weeks ago for use in my basement apartment that had gotten damp with all the rain this summer. It has been running non-stop since. It works great! I have been rotating it around the apartment into different rooms that need to dry out and it quickly fills up with water after a few hours beeps and I empty the bucket. the only drawback is that is does give off a lot of heat, which I guess all dehumidifiers do, but I still gave it 5 stars!

Comment: Kind of noisy, but works well
Rated:
This review is from: TheBandit (SEA-TAC)I use this unit in the garage to reduce humidity (obviously). I wouldn’t want it in the living room or bedroom, it’s pretty loud when running. It’s an Energy Star unit – but the difference in my electric bill during peak usage over the winter was easily noticable. But I have never used another one, so I can’t really compare. It has withstood lots of usage since I bought it several months ago. It is simple as possible to use. I filled up the 30-pint bucket many, many times. Usually during the rainy season (Seattle, so that’s about 8 months out of the year!) if I used it several hours a day it would fill up over just a day or two. So it really does the trick in pulling moisture out of the air. It wheels around, which is nice, even though it isn’t that heavy for me it might be for certain people.
