The unit runs very quietly on the 2nd setting, and only hear the fan on the top speed. easy to empty the buckler although I would like a larger capacity since I do not have it draining through the hose. I empty the bucket by removing it when full.

I bought this a month ago for my basement which has multiple rooms. It is maintaining the humidity in all rooms with just doors open & draining well. My only suggestion for improvement is a longer hose. Would recommend!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not living up to its expectations. Bought this as a replacement for my 8 year old dehumidifier. Poor design with the intake on the back. Even with it 18 inches off the wall it does not circulate the air efficiently and it's hard to turn around because the pump hose comes off the back. Can't even reduce the humidity 10% were my old one had no problem reducing it over 20%. Even the built in Humidity Meter is off. When it reads 40% my independant meter reads 50%
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have been very pleased with this de-humidifier. The main reason for selecting this model was the overall capacity and that it has a pump so i do not need to empty the bin 2 x a day. My only gripe is that the unit will not restart the pump automatically after power failure. It will restart the unit but not the pump. you must enable the pump.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] on June 3, 2026 I purchased a Waykar 80 Pint Dehumidifier for my basement to maintain the proper relative humidity to protect my guitars.
The unit is compact in size, quiet, and does a great job in removing humidity from the room.
It is now June 30th and I am very satisfied with the product. 5 stars!

This unit is rated for up to 5000 sq ft. I bought it to use in my bedroom which is probably no more than 250 sq ft. I run it 24/7. I empty it any time it becomes half full because I live in fear of flooding on my carpet. So, I empty it 4X per day usually. I estimate it is pulling at least 2 gallons of moisture per day out of my bedroom, but it is still not enough. The lowest humidity level it reaches so far during the day as of late June is 58% which is certainly better than what the humidity level was before I began using the dehumidifier, but it is still not truly comfortable. Late, late at night it can bring the humidity level down to 54%, but again that is not as comfortable as I would wish. I expected it could at least bring the humidity level down to 45% since it is rated for 5000 sq ft.
So, my feelings are mixed. On the one hand, it is performing. It is quiet. It is large but not too large. It seems to be reasonably well made. However, I do not know how it can be rated for up to 5000 sq ft given that it is only brining the humidity down to 58% in a 250 sq ft room. and to think I almost bought the 34 pint one!
This unit is going back to the manufacturer as soon as the 150 pint unit arrives next week. I hope that one will be able to do a much better job. My advice is this would be a good unit if you live in a very well insulated home and need to dehumidify one room that is not excessively humid. Do not expect this unit can dehumidify anywhere near 5000 sq ft.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
