    Saved My Basement

    At the beginning of the HOT Humid Summer, my central air went out. Parts and new units are delayed or simply not in stock due to the on going pandemic. This Dehumidifier Totally SAVED my 3,000sq basement! The directions were OK except for the floater piece in the bucket. There was no pic or diagram showing this piece or how it should correctly be positioned in the bucket. After reading all the directions I completed setup by removing all tape and placed the cord wrap piece in the back and secured bucket closed in place. Turned the unit on and there was a code showing the bucket was full. It would not run. After some frustration I decided that the floater piece was installed backwards and upside down. I carefully had to pry it loose to get it to come out. I only used my fingers because it is plastic and I was so afraid of cracking it. I repositioned the floater piece and turned the unit on and it worked perfectly. It has worked wonderfully and has ran non stop ever since. Completely removed all moisture and my basement is now back to feeling like MY basement again. The bucket fills up every couple of hours and needs to be monitored and emptied throughout the day, but the frequency really depends on the weather and your choice of settings. This was one of THE BEST purchases I have made from Best Buy. If you are in need of something like this, this is the best bang for your buck and gets the job done! I am still waiting on a new central air unit as of this review.

    Doing some painting in the garage during the summer in the southeast, can be very challenging with our humidity level. Purchased this dehumidifier for the sole purpose of painting in the garage, but it’s proved to be much more useful at other times as well. I wish I got it earlier in the summer. Easy to use and it does this job well.

    I really like this dehumidifier. It does its job well. Beeps 8 times in a row and automatically shuts off when it’s full. Easy handle on the inside to grab the compartment that fills up with water. Literally plugged it in and pressed power to get it started. It’s simple and does a great job!! I’m very pleased and the air is tons better in the house!!! It does put off some hot air, beware but it does a good job so I can’t complain. You should get one!

    As of now, I’ve had this up and running for about a month. It’s working out great. It’s pretty quiet while running. Easy to use. And covers my entire basement which has felt dry and not at all humid.

    I have two large bathrooms with showers and no bath fans, but live where it is humid in the summer. Had another smaller dehumidifier I paid more for, but then this monster was too good to pass up. It is a large machine, but no matter how humid it is and how steamy the shower, it keeps up and clears the humidity. By using these I don’t have to actually run my A/C hardly at all.

    It works like a dream come true! It has a hook-up for continuous mode so you don't have to dump the bucket when full. Simply screw your garden hose on and stick it in a drain! Awesome machine!

    Works fast to clear the humidity, even for the large space i have it in. The bucket-full indicator is loud enough to be heard over room noise (for us its tv/music & conversation) which i greatly appreciate. The unit is very quiet compared to other brands I've used.

    Problem I'm having is finding a hose to fit into the back of the dehumidifier so I can have the accumulated water flow directly into the basement drain. Even Best Buy doesn't have one available. Sometimes takes a few tries to put the bucket back in. Takes exact placement and a strong push. Was pleased that this Energy Star unit is included in the rebates offered by ComEd. Overall, though, am pleased with the unit.

    Purchases this to replace a previous generic model that died last summer and it’s working without any issues. Unit is actually more quiet than the previous 50qt dehumidifier it replaced and so far haven’t had any issues. I had the water container fill up twice even though the external hose was connected but it seems to be working fine now as I haven’t had to empty it for several weeks now. It seems like humidifiers all go bad after 2-3 years so I ended up getting the replacement plan to hopeful save myself from having to buy another unit down the road. Unfortunately the unit went on sale as soon as my return period ended which didn’t allow for a price match and would have been a much better deal. (Was on sale for $150) . I would really recommend especially if you can get the unit on sale.

    So far this dehumidifier is working well. It is set to keep the relative humidity percent at 55-60% and seems to be holding this level. Emptying is easy. The proof of the 5-star is durability - how long it keeps working. I hope it matches my Whirlpool 55-qt that is still working fine after four years.

    Best dehumidifier for this price! Needed a dehumidifier to put in our basement and this was affordable and highly rated, absolutely worth it!! Does great and love that we can attach a hose to drain right into the croc or dump it.

    I was very disappointed with the delivery time promised vs. actual delivery time from Best Buy but quickly moved on because this humidifier does the trick! I have a very humid storage shed and the turbo settings move that humidity right away. Expect some labor emptying water from the device, but overall, that's easy and it gets the jump done well.

    very quiet, easy to dump the extracted water, long enough power cord to move around easily. Just be sure to be able to point the hot air fan out of the room! I should have gotten a larger capacity unit as this one fills up in 3 hours at 90 percent humidity! It does clear out the inside bathroom after showers

    Great basement dehumidifier

    We have a super old house with a damp musty basement. This was a game changer. Works really well and has dried out our large basement very nicely. The only downfall is that it did not come with a drainage hose and we had to buy one separately. Due to the basements moisture, we were emptying the bucket 3xs a day. Once we bought a hose we were able to have it continuously drain thru the floor drain with no interruption. I am impressed with how much it pulled out of the basement air.
