decent dehumdifier

I’ve been looking to get a dehumidifier for a while and finally settled on this dehumidifier. I really like the bucketless feature because I never empty buckets of water now. Nice for my back. Also the design is nice and compact so it won’t take up a lot of space.

I haven’t had any trouble with the pump or anything like that. I always double check that the hose doesn’t have anything blocking it because it will stop the dehumidifier. I would recommend calling their customer service if anyone has a problem. I called them because I thought something was wrong with the pump/hose and they just walked me through any possible reasons it wouldn’t work. They were really nice and on top of everything.

Update (5/19/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

Good product so far
I purchased this item for my basement, which gets in water when it rains and is very humid most of the time. I wanted a dehumidifier that I could put down in the basement to maintain a lower humidity. I also did not want to have to deal with emptying buckets of water. I’m very pleased so far with this unit. My basement has dropped from 95% humidity to 70% in a day and a half. I ran the small tubing included with the product out the window of my basement, and set the dehumidifier on the floor. It pumps out the water perfectly.

The unit has controls for the pump (on/off), humidity control (in 5% increments, down to 30%), and fan speed (H/M/L). The pump is required when pumping the water up and out, and it turns on and off as needed to empty the internal reservoir. The condenser turns off when the humidity reaches the desired level, and the fan keeps running.

It is reasonably quiet, but not ‘whisper quiet.’ Louder when the pump or condenser is running. When it is just the fan, it sounds like a regular fan.

This is definitely a nice product if you don’t want to constantly have to empty buckets of water.

Noisy
The Good: The product performs as mentioned in other reviews. It is effective. I plugged it in last night and dropped the output hose into a bucket to measure the collection out of curiosity. By morning, the unit had collected nearly a gallon of water. That is the good part. The bad side is that this thing is NOISY. I read reviews on-line that said the unit is quite. I even read one that said it was as quite as an “average” fan. Lemme tell you, if your fans are that loud, it is time to change them out. This thing sounds like on older style window unit AC…seriously every bit as loud. Other reviews stated that when the pump kicked on the unit was unbearably noisy. I hate to inform anyone who doesn’t know this. When you run a sump pump without any water in it to pump…it is going to be noisy. However, if you allow some water to get into the unit and allow it to work as it is supposed to, the pump is not even noticeable compared to the 747 like noise made by the fan unit. So, basically, the unit works well. Just don’t plan on having any quite conversations in the same room as the dehumidifier.
