Customer Ratings & Reviews

This this is powerful and sucks a ton of water out of the air but doesn't come without its own flaws. The largest glaring issue is that Insignia, and Best Buy do not sell the corresponding hose needed to turn this into a continuous dehumidifier. That said I am emptying the bucket once a day until I find the correct hose specifications; a major annoyance in my opinion. Secondly, my device showed up with some damage on it. The power cord had minor slashes on it with one major gash that I have been concerned about. The tech support team with Insignia have not been helpful. I don't want to return my product, I just want it swapped out for one that doesn't have a cut on the cord; so far I'm getting nowhere.

So far, this dehumidifier has worked very well. It pulls tons of moisture out of the air, needing to be emptied twice daily during the summer when used in our basement. The controls work well, it's fairly quiet, and it's still running well after one season of use. Of course, anyone who buys these things knows the real test is how long they last. We've generally needed to replace our units after 2 or 3 summers for one reason or another. Hoping this one goes longer. Some minor complaints: The bucket could be a bit easier to get back into the unit after being emptied. It usually gets stuck on the way back in and needs another try or 2. When it's set to a specific humidity, it usually only shuts off for about a minute before it kicks back on. This means that either the humidity sensor is too sensitive, or it needs some different programming. It would be nice to have a 5 minute span or so between shutting off and kicking on to bring the humidity back down. Otherwise, it seems like it should have never shut off in the first place. All the units I've ever had from all brands we've tried have this problem, so I'm not taking any points off for this minor issue. This review is based on my purchase price of $160 which was Deal of the Day pricing.

This dehumidifier has done a great job drying out my basement. The previous one (not this brand) lasted just over a year and never worked very well, I've only had this a few weeks but am very happy with it. Noise levels are reasonable, and before I hook a hose to it I've been letting the reservoir fill up so I can kind-of keep tabs on how much water it's taking out of the environment. I check it 3x a day and it's filling it as fast as I can drain it. Nice job... I also picked this up on a "deal of the day", so the price was right. Overall, a great deal I'm very happy with.

Overall, this seems to be an excellent dehumidifier. My criteria are simple: Does it remove dampness (yes), is it reasonably efficient (sort of), is it intrusive or noisy (no)? My only concern--and this applies to ALL dehumidifiers imported from China--is its durability. Obviously, only time will tell, but I am glad I purchased the extended warranty as I know BestBuy will stand behind the product.

Dehumidifier has a lot of bells and whistles for the price. Efficient and not very noisy. Definitely does it’s job. Only concern is emptying out the reservoir tank vwhen full. Could have designed it better to avoid spills coming from different nooks & crannies of the reservoir tank.

I bought this dehumidifier (on sale), hoping it would take some load off the A/C. We have a 55 gallon aquarium at 80°, so there's plenty of evaporation and humidity! After about 6 weeks of use, I couldn't be happier. The noise is not bad, about like a small window A/C unit - not surprising, since that is basically what it is. Our A/C air return is at the end of a hallway, so I set it to run near the beginning of the hall, so that the household air circulates past it. I empty the 1.6 gallon tank 3 or 4 times, each day.

Humidity in our home is very high causing a muggy odor at times in some rooms and takes the ac a while to cool so I've been pricing these out for a couple of weeks. When this 70 pint went on sale 2 weeks ago, I jumped on the opportunity to buy it as the sale made the 70 pint machine cheaper than 30 pints out there. I had it out of the box in 3 minutes and had the instruction booklet read in another 2-3. Very simple to use. Within an hour of running it in our living room, I had over a half gallon water collected. I just kept rolling it from room to room (it has wheels) and ran each room until I got the humidity to between 35-40%. I've only been using it for about a week now but so far I am loving this machine. It runs very quietly, has many settings for auto shut off at a certain% or continuous running. Shuts off automatically when bucket it full although I havent tested that yet as I shut it off before and don't run it all night. It works so quick that It's not necessary. This was a no-brainer purchase for me. I did purchase the extended warranty which is something that I don't do but since the machine was so inexpensive, I paid the extra few bucks to make sure that I am fully covered.

My old Kenmore died after 19 years of continuous service. Unfortunately, it seems the new Kenmore (which most likely was rebranded from Whirlpool or Frigidaire) are not as reliable as they used to according to many online reviews. Well I was in luck. I just happened to browse through Best Buy's Deal of the Day and came across this unit and I also found out my son had purchased the same unit a while back and he highly recommended it. I am very happy with the purchase, the unit is much quieter than the old Kenmore, of course with almost 20 years apart, they must make some improvements somewhere. :-) The unit does not give out as much heat as the old one, so I guess it probably uses less energy. I'll verify that later for sure. I installed the unit in the basement with a draining hose going directly to the sump pump. I hope I'll never need to look at it for another 20 years! ;-)

keeps my 1,000 sq foot basement dry during the wet early-spring time. Just make sure you don't have cracks in your foundation or this dehumidifier will not be able to keep up with the water leaking in. My only nitpick is the water tank is a little tricky to slide in.

Compared to other dehumidifiers I have used in the past I found this one to be comparatively quiet, and it does a great job of removing moisture from the air. It is so efficient I have to empty the bucket after approximately twelve hours. For that reason I wish it has a larger capacity bucket.

I use this dehumidifier for my basement. I really like that it displays what the humidity percent is. I run it all the time and it is quiet compared to other dehumidifiers I have had before. My only complaint is it does not come with a drain hose but for the price that's okay! Also it is eligible for a ComEd rebate from their website.

This dehumidifier works great. Not too noisy and takes a lot of water out the air. Turns off when the reservoir is full, then once it is emptied and placed back, it turns back on automatically. Worked so good, I had to buy one for my father in law

Purchased when on sale. Price was significantly less than equivalent size units from other manufacturers. Seems to be well constructed. Removing a lot of water and relatively quiet.

This unit works great. Have it in my basement and with all the humidity this year it made the basement very comfortable. It is also very quiet. A lot quieter then I thought it was going to be. As of this post I recommend it.

Easy set up, quiet, efficient, and does the job. After using 1 day in our 1200 sq ft basement, the musty smell was gone. I would definitely recommend this dehumidifier for anyone looking to rid their space of dampness and odor.

Bought this for my basement and it works well. Its quiet and my basement is much better. The humidity level dropped from 60 percent to 40 percent in a few days. Works well and I would reccomend it to everyone.

This is a great dehumidifier. I'm using it in my basement to stop mold and mildew. I have a small hose connected to the back running into a floor drain so I don't have to empty it. It also works as a great room heater if you let it run long enough, the air coming out gets very warm, so a 2-for-1 deal in the winter. It's pretty quiet as well, with just a fan sounding noise coming from it. The filter is easy to clean and it's on wheels to move around easily. I bought it on a deal of the day special, so the price was great as well.

Had a few weeks now with no issues. Maybe a little quieter than my 10 year old whirlpool (still working!!) but definitely know it’s on. Seems to work efficiently, turns itself off periodically when it gets the humidity down.

Has been working great in my basement for over one year. Easy to empty. Noise level is reasonable. No complaints.

I have been using this dehumidifier for about three weeks, and so far so good. It is similar in noise level to my old DeLonghi and generates a similar amount of heat. The side fan jet is fairly comfortable, and emptying the collection tank is fairly easy, using the provided handle. However, putting the tank back in is sometimes tricky since it sits so low in the frame.
