Works well (probably 50% or less duty cycle) to control humidity to 45% in my 2000 sq ft unfinished basement. Operating Manual need to be updated to include direct drain instructions.
This is my first review EVER. That should tell you something. Little assembly needed. Directly drained to sump pump crock. Turned it on and within minutes it was a nearly steady stream of water running out. Unit seems solid. Large tires make moving simple, even stairs. A bit loud because it’s moving a lot of air, but comparable to the machine it’s replacing Attractive unit. Fair price. Very satisfied. Really wish it was a USA product.
Amazing unit, we have a 10 x 15 pool in our garage 25x30, in Alaska... When the pool is uncovered, the humidity goes to 80%, about 30-45 minutes of running, and we are back under 50%. Amazing unit. Saved us thousands of dollars, we were being told we need a big installed unit for our garage, nope just this guy.
We purchased this dehumidifier to use in our steel work shop building. It performs well and helps manage the humidity that builds up during the fall and spring months. The build quality is excellent and the noise level is acceptable. We have been using this unit off and on, for six months now, we are pleased with the performance.
