It seems to work fine but the reservoir is small and requires frequent emptying in comparison to my old one. It doesn't do as good a job for the space it's used in. It's not noise and seem to work just doesn't do the job my old one did. Both were rated the same.
I purchased this for an Atlanta basement that is constantly humid in the summer. We've had other dehumidifiers but they've been loud and had to either gravity drain or empty the bucket every day. This unit, with the pump, is great. It runs fairly quiet, and has an auto setting where it will maintain humidity based on temperature so it only runs when it needs to, and the pump makes sure I don't have to worry about a full bucket.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought our Waykar 150 pint unit in May of this year (2026) to replace our commercial grade Santa Fe Dehumidifier, which we had over 10 years. Our new Waykar kept our basement room’s humidity down just as good as our prior unit did. In just under 3 months time however, our new Waykar unit stopped dehumidifying our room. A code, “E3” appeared, which indicates a refrigerant leak. We contacted Waykar and will await our replacement unit. We are hoping this was just a fluke and we will have much better luck with the replacement unit’s longevity.
Bought a couple weeks ago. Performs well and is reasonably quiet. Downside: I need a dehumidifier with pump which this has. Pump line is not very flexible, wants to remain coiled. And the biggest issue is the pump will not be active if power is lost and then resumed. You have to manually press a button for 3 seconds to have pump working. This is a for a seasonal house so that is a very disappointing issue.
Purchased after I went in my basement and found it was raining, in my basement. Started around 85 percent ran continuously this month. May basement is field stone and has open soil walls. Thing did not happen as fast as I thought but, given the task. I feel This Dehumidifier has been a real strong runner. Humidity in down to 65 percent and dropping. The entire basement is getting a makeover and there has been a lot of rain. What did leak in dried up quick.Great unit for price.
I bought Waykar dehumidifier unit in 2025 It didn’t last one year before it quit working. Manufacturer will not warrant anything although it has a 1yr warranty They wouldn’t even try to help. Would not recommend this dehumidifier it’s a cheap unit and service is very poor
