Is working well…

We set it up on a shelf next to, and a little above, our utility sink in our basement/garage, so it drains into the sink. So far, it is working as well as we expected, and it’s quiet too…
Finally, the humidity in my house is getting under control with this dehumidifier. it started at 73% relative humidity, and mold was tending to grow on certain walls. I’m glad there is a CO option for continuous operation. The machine seems very well made and sturdy. I’m happy with the purchase!
Must have and you don’t even know it 150 with Pump

Bought this as overkill for a 2200 sf house to manage humidity for fine musical instruments. Works great to manage humidity during rainy days. You’d be surprised how much water it pulls out the air. The large reservoir is very adequate to make it through an entire day and keep that section of my home in the 43-48% range desired. The current humidity reading lets you know impact of weather, showers in nearby bathrooms, etc. on humidity in your home. The set to humidity function is also a nice feature. Although I bought the model with the pump, I have yet to test out that feature. Next year during our hot Deep South summer I’m sure I will appreciate it though. Worth splurging for, and quality is great. The only neg note, make sure the drain cap is screwed on correctly before you drench your carpet, like I did mine.
I set the dehumidifier a few days ago. It looks like it is doing a good job. I am using it in my basement. I set it up for 50% and when it got there it shutdown. So far I am happy with the equipment.
It does a really bad job reading humidity levels. My room can be at 70% humidity but it would say that it was sitting at 43%. I’m thinking of returning it
Dehumidifier is a workhorse, its solid and pulls humidity. Sometimes it overworkes itself even when settings are set to certain humidity levels, but in my situation less humidity is better. Have had no issues this far. When ordering these, I wish the company would deliver in discreet packaging as the product was dropped off at the community mailbox in its original packaging. This may be a cause for concern if you work regular business hours or deal with packages being stolen. Waykar offers a free extended warranty if you register the product which is also worth it over other companies.
Overall, its a great machine and was worth the purchase. Also cheaper than other third party retailers selling Waykar products.
I have two Waykar dehumidifiers, an 80 pint/day and a 150 pints/day, My first comment on these machines is that they are the quietest dehumidifiers I have every owned. I have owned GE, Kenmore, Frigidaire and others for reference. The noise level is an indicator of the quality of design and manufacturing. Less noise means less vibration and more energy efficiency. They are very quiet machines. Hopefully, this adds to a long and trouble-free life.
These dehumidifiers have a retentive memory feature which is a plus. In the event of a blip in your electric supply the machines will restart at the same setting it had before the blip. That saves from having to remember to reset it.
Finally, I cannot attest to the capacity of the machines other than to say they knocked the humidity down in my basement overnight and have kept it there. My previous machine ran continuously trying to get it down but never quite made it.
