This product sucks up an incredible amount of water. The only issue for me personally is I like it on 24/7 but I replace the basket of water about once a day, so I might have opted for the larger model but for the size and not a huge living room, it works well. It monitors the current humidity and then allows you to set the desired humidity. This has drastically reduced my fears of mold since my place will never have the optimal environment for mold to grow.

We are rv full timers on property living off grid. We had planned to build, but wood prices... Our factory propane heater is basically useless in single digit cold. We switched from a 'big buddy' to a Mr Heater blue flame this winter. What the he** does that have to do with a dehumidifier, you ask? Unvented propane heaters emit water vapor, LOTS of vapor. And our windows have the R-value of saran wrap. Also, the walls in closed closets get cold enough to 'sweat', a lot. After we tried an 'economically priced' electronic dehumidifier with 'limited' success, we decided to try this one. It IS GE, tho made in China, and a few year warranty was available. A short search will show the propensity for this style of dehumidifier to tend to start leaking freon 'just' after the oem warranty ends. As to the unit, it works. Being on solar, especially in winter's low output hours, we don't run high wattage items at night. We are still getting 2-3 quarts of water a day at about 70 degrees. Some talk of hot air being dispelled, but I would say lukewarm at worst, at our temps. Noise on high is relative to sensitivity, but running on high with a door almost closed, no closed doors with a cat in the house, between it and us, it's too quiet to hear without trying, and indistinguishable with any noise, speech, radio, tv, in the room. Certainly no worse than the desktop fan we use in the summer at night. We've just had it a couple weeks and it will only be used a few months a year, so we'll see how it holds up and update. so, a few weeks later and it's working fine. Even tho just running when the solar panels are getting some sun, it still takes out a couple quarts a day. A major consideration tho, is the effect on my asthma. We noticed last year when we started using the big buddy, and again with the new heater this year, I was coughing a lot from the humidity. Within a couple of days of starting to use this item, my coughing has all but disappeared, even at night when it is off. This is NOT medical advice, purely anecdotal. Well worth the price, if just for that. No more sucking on cough drops in bed!!

Bought the 22pt unit to dry out a1350 sqft south Florida home during the winter months. Had a few colder days in a row with rain where the AC never kicked on. House humidity was 70%. This unit couldn’t get the humidity below 58%. For reference, 40-50% is the recommended range. Replaced it with the 50pt version and had the house at 50% within a few hours. The smaller 22pt unit also ran a lot louder than the 50pt version. The side panel vibrates and the compressor has a constant “wom-wom-wom†sound. The 50pt runs quieter and is much more effective.

This dehumidifier works so well! Our house is very humid and after running it for maybe 4 hours I had to empty the tank. So far we are impressed by it. The drawback is that it’s kind of loud. Makes a vibrating noise that doesn’t stop on any fan setting. Jusr wish it were a tad quieter. Also, this is the second one I have gotten. The first one was clearly used and I returned it and this one we think may have been used too but looked better than the first one.

Update:Not sure what happened, but after leaving it unplugged for approximately a week and then giving it one last try before sending it to be recycled, it started working again. It has been working flawlessly ever since! I keep it in my basement next to the furnace to help remove moisture during the humid months in Wisconsin (10/12 months). 3000 sq foot home and this definitely helps! It does run non-stop, but takes it like a champ.This de-humidier worked flawlessly for almost 2 months, then without warning, completely quit working. And, after 30 days, Amazon says there is nothing they can do. For the price of this item, I'd expect more than 2 months of use. Severely disappointed.

First off, AMAZON shipping dept totally ignored the warnings and instructions on every single side of the box that directs it must be kept in an upright position. They laid it down on it's side and put it in a box with the UP arrows NOT pointing to the upright position, but to the on it's side position. I don't know if it will shorten the effective working life of the dehumidifier or not, but NOT HAPPY with Amazon over this.The unit itself has been operating flawlessly in a damp basement garage. Overnight it filled the reservoir tank and turned off the unit as it is supposed to do. Being able to set the humidity level you want is great. Previous dehumidifiers I've owned simply had a dial with numbers but no indication of what the actual humidity was.The noise level is low, even on the highest setting so that's another plus with this unit.Time will tell if shipping it on its side causes any problems. My guess is that they will surface the day after the warranty expires. :)
