Waykar - 80 Pint Dehumidifier with Bucket and Auto Defrost 5,000 Sq. Ft. Energy Star for Bedroom and Basement - White

This Waykar 80-Pint Energy Star Dehumidifier is a powerful and highly efficient option for controlling moisture in large spaces up to 5,000 square feet. When I first began researching, I knew that whatever I purchased had to be a 24/7 workhorse. With summer fast approaching, I could see small water droplets forming on the vapor barrier in the basement of my split-entry Midwestern home. Whatever I chose had to be continuous and self-draining into a floor drain. This humidifier met all my needs, in a small size and at a very reasonable price. The touch panel lets you adjust the target humidity from 30% to 80%. A 24-hour programmable timer, a washable dust filter, and a power-off memory restart make this so easy to use. If power drops out, it reboots automatically using your last known settings. You can also set the unit to continuous operation, which is exactly what I needed for my basement. I used the optional drain hose supplied with the unit to continuously drain into a floor drain. It is super simple, and there's never a need to drain the collection tank, as the hose bypasses it. For those wondering about shipping, I had mine shipped directly to my house. It arrived via FedEx and in surprisingly excellent condition. It was boxed, taped at every fold, and strapped with plastic shipping straps. This is perhaps the best shipping department I've seen, and I have 40 years in the freight business. It was easy to unbox, with both ends protected by dense Styrofoam preventing the unit from being dropped during shipment. Just remove the plastic and the tape holding the collection drawer, and plug it in. I accessed the quick start guide, and it was up and running in less than 10 minutes. I have had my unit running non-stop since June 11th, and not once has it failed me. In fact, I have to go into the basement to hear if it is running because it is so quiet. I could not be happier with my purchase. Thanks to Best Buy for a great price!

Its efficient and quiet. It keeps my humidity level in range for my winter cellar spa.

Powerful unit, in a small package. Very efficient and ultra quiet. I have in my garage, does a great job. Lots of features and settings.

I bought two dehumidifiers. One unit is larger for main home space other unit for hallway between bedrooms. Very pleased with the accuracy of the sensors and how both units stop when set humidity level reached and /or when full. They are easy to move and empty. One unit has a slight "whine" when operating. It was worth keeping as I have purchased one other different brand unit in the past that was quieter but not accurate. Definitely recommend.

I bought the Waykar 80-pint model for my 1,500 sq ft basement which always smells musty in the summer. Setup was a breeze right out of the box. The digital touch screen is very intuitive, and I love the automatic air swing feature that helps circulate the dry air. What surprised me most is how quiet it is—just a low hum that doesn't bother anyone. Within 24 hours, it pulled the humidity down from 75% to my target of 45%.
