When COVID-19 hit, it forced us, like many Americans, to work from home. My wife and I have “offices” in the basement, and upon our transition to the new normal, we spend 40 hours a week downstairs. My wife’s nose is a bit more sensitive than mine, and always shared what she thought about the mustiness. I had been researching dehumidifiers and planned to get something. When I saw BestBuy had this insignia model on sale, I jumped at it. What an incredible difference it has made downstairs. In just a week I’ve emptied the bucket 3 times downstairs and have completely changed the smell. It’s amazing what this thing has done. I bought two, one for upstairs and one for down. I’ve successfully lowered the humidity level in my house 5-10% which I know has made a huge difference on the feel. Now I’m closer to a 45% humidity level. It just feels more comfortable. I love that these units have a drain port on the back so you can connect a hose to it and it can run to your sump pump area. The noise is negligible. It’s very similar to the noise produced by a fan or perhaps a quiet dishwasher. If you’re considering buying one, go with this one. Setup is extremely quick - just be sure to remove all tape. The power cable organizer is inside the water bin. Plug it in to power and you’re set! To set it to the desired humidity level, make sure all button lights are off. When you first power it on, it may default to comfort or continuous mode. Press that button once to turn the led off above it. Then you can control the desired humidity levels with the Plus and Minus buttons.

I can’t believe how much water this machine extracts from my apartment. I almost got the Waykar because my friend had it so I tried it, but so glad I favor this one it’s much more effective. No complaints so far. Just note that if you want a drain hose you’d have to buy that separately. I have it in my apartment and I empty it morning and night because it’s so freaking humid here, was over 80% humidity now it’s down to 55% and so much easier to breathe + mold smell and mushiness gone and our energy levels are up. If you need serious water extraction, meaning gallons and gallons every day, I recommend it!! It’s not a small machine but the sound although quite loud is still pleasant pitch and the white color and design makes it blend in.

Came Home one day to warped cabinets and realized we needed to fix the humidity. I have to empty this thing twice a day because South Texas is so humid. We have had it going 24/7 for over a year and it works perfect. Winter time it doesn’t have to get emptied every day but dying the summer it fills up quick. One side effect is we realized 72 humid is hot but 72 dry is significantly colder in the house. Crazy to think this dehumidifier is making the house colder but it actually does. You set how dry u want the air and it turns off once that thread hold is met or ones the tank is full it beeps and lets you know and turn off u til emptied,

Works Great, definitely gets the job done. Not too loud, easy start up. Couldnt ask for more out of a dehumidifier. I think I'll buy 7 more!!!

I collected a lot of water in a short time. I've been using for bit more that 2 weeks and my apartment has no humidity issues.
