We purchased this unit to remove humidity in our bathroom. It is a true workhorse and am very pleased with it's operation. The bucket does tend to be full all the way to the top, so if you are emptying manually like myself, you need to be very careful as it will spill out in transport to a drain. The unit also produces a fair amount of heat.
Great unit, I had a fridigair that was probably 10 years old. It drained directly to the floor drain and was running all the time. After runner the two units side by side for 24 hours the Way bucket needed to be emptied 4 times and the old unit only filled up 1/3 of its bucket. The new one is powerful and quiet and the extended warranty is nice peace of mind
This dehumidifier is perfect. Very easy to use and maintain, not too big and not too small. On wheels, automatic shut off, they thought of everything! We live on the water and use it in our large master bedroom. Very happy with the purchase.
I picked up two of these after fighting a losing battle with dampness, and they've completely turned things around. Each one pulls an impressive amount of water out of the air — the 150-pint capacity is no joke, and with a space this size (rated up to 7,000 sq ft) one unit easily handles a big open area.
The built-in pump is the feature that sold me. Instead of emptying the tank constantly, I ran the hose to drain upward and now I basically set it and forget it. When I do let it fill, the 2.38-gallon tank means it isn't every couple of hours, and the auto shut-off keeps it from overflowing.
A few other things I appreciate: it's Energy Star rated, so I'm not dreading the electric bill running two of them; the 24-hour timer and three fan speeds let me dial it in for day or night; and it's quieter than I expected — I can leave it running without it taking over the room. The wheels and handle make it easy to move from one space to another, and the filter-clean reminder is a nice touch for upkeep.
Between the two units the difference in the air is night and day — no more musty smell, and everything feels drier and fresher. Would absolutely buy again.
The unit runs quiet and is very energy efficient. The display is bright and easy to read. The company has promptly responded when I have contacted them.
