Customer Ratings & Reviews

Our old humidifier died so I purchased this one. The prior one was a little smaller and at times it was annoying emptying the water reservoir a few times a day during peak summer humidity. So, this time I purchased a little larger. What I did not think about was the fact that it would also be much heavier to lift and pour out. Its still okay but I definitely would not go larger and would encourage others to think about that. Otherwise its still very new to us but appears to work well and is quiet. Its in our basement but the sound would not bother me in a main living area either.

Bought this as a deal of the day sale price in May 2020. Use in my basement & it does a great job. The unit is kind noisey but don't notice that much since we do not go in the basement a lot. The continous setting will do auto humidity but if it's off you can set it manually. The hose hook up is a must unless you want to empty the bucket each time. This is a gravity drain set up so the dehumidifer will need to be higher than the drainage system or drain it will dump the water into. Make sure to check the air filter once a month, it's on the opposite side of the bucket. This is a solid unit, especially when it's on sale. (which is often)

It works very well removing the moisture, but I use the hose to send the water straight into the sump pump. Many times, the water goes into the bucket instead, and I have to empty it. It’s in the basement, so I don’t always know when it needs dumping. Maybe the hose is linked, but it can be a hassle.

This unit is a strong performer. My 3-car garage is detached and it gets steamy in there. After just 1 day of operation I could notice a signigicant decrease in the humidity. It's been operating constantly for about 2 weeks save for when the reservoir is full. It's pulling a full 50 pints about every 8-10 hours. Empty when i leave for work and again when I pull back in - granted opening the garage doors lets everything back in so this little champ has a big job to do. 1140 insulated and sheetrocked square feet (9.5 ft ceiling). Haven't connected the hose for continuous use yet...tried but without a floor drain it wont "updrain" into my sink. A cheap $50 condensate pump will fix that but I'm not sure it's worth the bother. Definitely consider this product. The cord is too short for my application but is likely plenty long for most uses. I have a soft top convertible and the dampness problem is solved!

Works excellent. Like having a timer and seeing the actual humidity levels. Lowers humidity quite fast.

Quieter than my old Frigidaire unit. The compressor doesn't make a lot of noise (thump) when it cycles on/off. Drops the humidity level quickly. My only complaint is the water tank is difficult to get back in the unit.

This is exactly what I needed. Not overly expensive and is very simple to operate. Can't speak about the longevity of it as I've only used it for about 3 days but it seems like a workhorse. It's doing wonders in my house. Currently have it in the basement which is disgustingly humid and it has made a big difference so far.

Excellent dehumidifiier: quiet and efficient. Easy to empty.

This dehumidifier WORKS! Let me tell you- my husband and I thought we would maybe empty this thing every few to, possibly, every other day. No, we’re clearing it around twice a day every day because of the rain we’ve been getting here in the Dallas area this spring. I never realized until now how much humidity our home trapped. It’s really making a difference with our electric bill in that we don’t have to keep the air quite as low to have the home stay cooler since there’s so much less humidity than usual in summers. I absolutely love this thing and regret not getting one sooner!

Works great! Used in our basement that got wet during a large rain storm. Helped get that wet smell out within a few hours!

Excellent product, I have a serious mold problem at my apartment and this product help me 100%,

So far so good. I have had this dehumidifier for about 2 months. It’s relatively quiet and pretty good at extracting moisture from the air. I do not have any complaints except the size of the reservoir. I have to empty it 1-2 times per day. But, the humidity levels in my basement are pretty high. I am happy I purchased it.

The unit was very easy to set up and get running. Took all of 4 minutes to unbox, attach a drain hose, plug in and turn on. So far the unit is operating flawlessly.

So I've had the gamut of Frigidaires, GEs, Friedrichs, and more. Most are loud and last a year, maybe two. The Friedrich lasted 4 which was better than most but had zero customer service, so they all have their problems. A few years ago I had a Soleus, which was truly a beast which sucked so much water out of the air that I was wondering if I wasn't drying out the ground around my house. It, unfortunately, was recalled for being a fire hazard, so there's that. This Insignia ranks closer to the Soleus in term of ability to dehumidify than any other I've ever had - and it's quieter than any other I've ever had. What's more, I picked it up at BB for $150 delivered. As soon as this hits that price point again I'll pick up at least one if not two more. One will be for our bedroom area, for which NO dehumidifier I've ever owned was quiet enough, but this one might just make the grade. I can't say how long this dehumidifier will work since I just got it a couple of weeks ago, so we don't know everything there is to know yet, but I know enough to willingly (even gladly) spend the money a second time on the chance that it's as good as it seems.

This unit is remarkably quiet and efficient. Easily wheels to sink or drain for emptying and does an excellent job removing water/humidity from basement. Outstanding price of $149 on daily deal... Thank you Best Buy!

This dehumidifier gets the job done - and quickly! I like the turbo option and how user friendly it is. However, it is quite loud and overall large. Also, the threads on the back for the hose to connect to are VERY cheaply made. The threads are plastic and one line of threads stripped out the first time i tried to screw a hose on it. It also doesn't make sense that the drain sticks straight out and isn't angled down. This kept causing my hose to kink. Overall, it gets the job done well.

I got this dehumidifier to reduce humidity in my house in Florida without having to use air conditioning to do so. This unit works very well for a room, but not an entire house, which is fine. It rolls easily on wheels. I have kept it on the constant setting as opposed to on and off based on a humidity level. It is not too loud at night-it’s kind of white noise. The water container fills up about every 12 hours and is easily emptied; I use it to water plants or just dump in tub. Note: the water is cold so if you need a cold soak it would work. I wouldn’t drink it, though. Most importantly, I wanted to make sure it did not increase my power bill, and it does not appear that it has. I have had it for a month and I do not see an increase. It makes the ambient temperature in the room feel lower, to the point I sometimes check my a/c thermostat. I bought this on sale and if it goes on sale again, I will get another one.

This item was easy to use right out of the box. It also made a huge difference in the humidity in our living room. It also seems to work with little to no problems

Works great, was helping gf move and started raining out of nowhere for a couole of minutes drenching her favorite comfy chair. Pulled this out and let it do its hing and within a few hours the entire chair was dry and this includes dewp into its cushions, what a life saver.

First time buying this brand in a humidifier. I needed it for my son’s basement. Works great so far! No complaints. Easy to use.
