Seems to do the job Well in my basement

We had about 3 feet of water flowing under our house in the crawl space and we're nowhere near a river. Being concerned about mold we ordered this unit. It arrived fast! We set it up and in less than a week the moisture level went from 90% down to 60%. I'm so glad we got this, it was easy to set up and it drains the condensation away from the house. You can't hear any noise from the unit up in the house. I would recommend this unit.

We have a tough job site with a humid basement. The machine works very efficiently and can do the job. It also comes with a pump and defrost function which is a bonus.

It has been two weeks since I received it. I let it work for 5 hours a day in the first few days after receiving it, and it can pump up to 5 gallons of water. Now the weather is more humid, but my basement is still very dry.

Our basement has always had humidity issues, especially in the summer and after heavy rain. We used to run a smaller dehumidifier, but it was constantly running at full capacity and just couldn keep up. The tank needed to be emptied every couple days, the humidity never really dropped below 60%. After doing some research, I went ahead and got this commercial-grade dehumidifier, and the difference is night and day. Setup was super simple. I love that it comes with a built in pump and a long drain hose. I just ran the hose into our sink, and now I never have to think about emptying a water tank. It also has a 24-hour timer, auto restart (which came in handy when our power flickered). After a few days, the musty smell that had been lingering for years started to disappear. Now it keeps the basement around 50% humidity without a problem. The unit is pretty big, but the wheels make it easy to move around when needed. It feels solid and well built, definitely not one of those flimsy plastic models. It a bit louder than the small units, but that expected, and in a basement, it not something that bothers us. Overall, this has been a solid purchase. If you e got a damp basement and smaller machines just aren cutting it, this unit is 100% worth it. It helped protect our storage, keeps the space dry and usable, and saves me from constantly checking and emptying water buckets.
