Insignia™ - 2,000 Sq. Ft. 35-Pint Portable Dehumidifier with 4.86 qt Bucket Capacity and ENERGY STAR Certification - White

Got this for a basement that always had that damp, musty smell and it’s been a night and day difference. Within the first day the air already felt lighter and the smell is basically gone now. Pulls a surprising amount of water out considering the size of it. The wheels are honestly clutch. I roll it between the basement and the laundry room when I need to and it moves easy. Bucket’s easy to pull out and dump, and I like that it shuts off on its own when it’s full so I’m not worrying about overflow. Being Energy Star was a bonus, wasn’t expecting it to be as easy on the power bill as it’s been. Runs quieter than my old one too, more of a low hum in the background than anything annoying

Very sturdy, easy to operate device. No apps or remote control, just the basics.

The Insignia 35 pint Dehumidifier is solidly built, high quality and very effective. It is very well packaged. Upon opening the box, you can grab onto 2 packing straps that act as a handle to lift the dehumidifier. This was absolutely necessary as it felt every bit of its 35 pounds. Along with the dehumidifier you get an extensive user manual and an installation guide which explains how to unpack it and install the wheels. The installation of the wheels requires nothing more than a little strength to push them into their predetermined slots. Once installed the dehumidifier slides very easily on hard floors. Living in South Florida, we have other dehumidifiers. The Insignia is shaped differently. It is lower and wider, measuring 16.85"(H) x 18.5"(W) x 8.9"(D). It is very modern looking, but the lower height means that you have to bend more when moving it. Insignia states that it is effective up to 2000 square feet. The control panel is well designed and very intuitive. Numbers are bold, clear and easy to read. It has 2 fan speeds, a humidistat ranging from 35-85 percent, carry handles and a drain hose connector, but the hose is not included. You can set the following modes: Comfort - Automatically adjusts humidity based on room temperature. Continuous - Runs until full or manually shut off. Dryer Mode - Designed to help dry wet clothes. Set Humidity Level - Will shut off when it reaches desired humidity. There is also a timer function that allows you to schedule the dehumidifier for up to 24 hours. And of course the unit will automatically shut off when the water tank is full. A check air filter light will turn on after 250 hours of use. Removing the air filter is easy and cleaning can be done by rinsing with water or using a vacuum. The noise level is acceptable. It is not any louder than our other dehumidifiers, however it has a smoother, less abrasive, and less annoying sound than our other units. Now we come to the 1 annoying Flaw. The water tank is rectangular in shape and the handle runs widthwise. When grabbing the handle the water rocks back and forth and can easily spill. It is hard to balance.The handle should have been lengthwise. This would have minimized this issue. So you have to immediately grab the water tank on the sides with both hands in order to balance the tank and not spill the water. This is very annoying. Overall this is a great product. Well built, high quality and effectively removes moisture from the air.. I would recommend this product with the understanding that emptying the tank can be an adventure.

The Insignia 35-pint portable dehumidifier is an item that didn’t realize I needed so much until I used it. I live in Texas in 2 story home where heat rises pretty quickly and humidity levels normally rise above 50% in our home. Some days the outside humidity is over 90% so that makes the house feel damp at times. This is the reason I wanted to invest in a dehumidifier for the potential cost savings and experience the health benefits it may provide. I placed the dehumidifier in the same room as my thermostat to see how accurate the humidity sensor was on the system. After testing for a few days, there were some slight variances between my thermostat and dehumidifier readings, but not by much. I could feel a difference in air quality. The air quality in my living room felt less damp and easy to breathe. Setup The dehumidifier was super easy to setup. The only pain point I experienced was getting the casters on. I had to wiggle them to get them installed. After getting that part out of the way, it was really plug and play. The control panel setup is simple and easy to understand. With four modes available (Set, Cont., Dryer, and Comfort) I was up and running within minutes. Comes with adjustable buttons that can adjust the humidity level, and a fan speed button. After running the dehumidifier for a full day, the water bucket was full of water. It was amazing to see the moisture that the system was able to capture. Removing the water bucket from the system was fairly easy to do. The water bucket includes a handle for transporting and spouts to drain the water. The system does include a water plug that allows you to hook up a drain hose for those who wouldn’t want to empty the water bucket constantly. Cleaning the system is simple. Water bucket, Filter, and Case are easy to install and can be cleaned. How does it feel? The Insignia dehumidifier is one of the products that I classify totally worth the long-term investment. Simple and effective at removing moisture in the air, plus the portability of this system should be good enough for most. Especially since this system is rated for 2,000 square feet. Overall, the house’s humidity and temperature readings were both lower than last month at the time of writing. This is a major win in my book and I couldn’t be happier.

This is a small, but very good dehumidifier. I have bought Insignia brand products in the past and have never had a problem with one. I opened the box and sat it on the kitchen cabinet without casters. It is low enough to fit under the cabinet and still leave the exhaust open. I bought a brass 90° connector, a female 5/8 ID connector and a few feet or clear 5/8” ID, 3/4” OD vinyl Tubing. With that, I’m able to let it run and drain into the kitchen sink - I never have to empty the bucket. It’s not loud - fairly quiet, and takes a lot of humidity out of the air. My HVAC runs less now and it stays very comfortable in my home. I hope that with the AC not having to run as much (because I can set it at a higher temperature and still be comfortable), that I will see my summer power bill come down. Maybe this dehumidifier will pay for itself in…… 6 months? Great product.
