hOme 30 Pint Dehumidifier - Energy Star Electric Dehumidifier Machine for Basement or Large Room with Hose Drain to Remove Mildew Mold or Odor - Safe Mid Size Portable Wheels - Auto Humidity Control

I found this dehumidifier works well. The noise level is fine. I have it in the basement, so it is not really a factor, but I am not sure I would have it in my bedroom and on when I wanted to sleep. It appears to drain well and I use a hose to drain directly to a drain pipe in the basement so I never have to worry about the container filling up. A perfectly good product and works as required.

I added another Star =5 Stars after hurricanes Helene, Milton and then the Central A/C Intake started breaking down and leaking inside our unit. This Dehumidifier really worked and worked constantly, day and night 24/7. You set the humidity level and it will shut itself off when that level is attained. Durning these hurricanes t helped keep the humidity down to an acceptable level and kept everything cool and relitivley dry. With two hurricanes almost back to back, 150 tornados landing in 24 hours all over Florida and torential rain outside for weeks, we were concerned but also felt very blessed and sad for many people and pets who lost their homes. We were very fortiunate to have electric/power to run this Dehumidifierl; and we had some peace of mind to have this Dehumidifier working in the background. It won't stop a hurricane, from blowing off your roof, it will not stop storm surge or rain, but it keeps the humidity inside your home at a more, healthy and comfortable level and it also kept the the central AC (that was breaking down), running dry cold air, until we could replace it a few weeks later. The humidity inside our unit never went over 57% to 63%, and it dropped down to 44% to 51% witin 3-4 days even as it contiued raining, non stop outside. Bottom line: We set the humidity at 50% and just leave it. It protected expensive Guitars and musical instruments that we placed in their cases and Gig bags We had to empty the water every 1.5 to 2.5 hours, but ithat's to be expected when taking so much moisture out of the air in a 1,200 square foot space. It really passed the Test during the toughest of times. Its also very easy to clean and maintain. If you're living in the south east or by an ocean or a lake, it's certainly worth the investment. Past Review : 4 Stars...We reley on this Dehumidifier so we got the maximum extended warranty. It's a necessary investment you should consider for your health, the health of your family and animals in your home; A Dehumididfier is a MUST HAvE for your guitars and all other stringed instuments when you live in more extreme humid climates. We wish we had purchased this Dehumidfier sooner. It can be noisey but even the central AC is louder and drowns it out. You can dispose of the extra moisture or water from the Dehumidifier in the tiolet, utility sink or bath tub. It doesn't smell; and it also takes some strain off of your central AC by adding another dryer function which keeps AC running cool. It works well with central AC and heatin and we have humidity and tempeture gauges in every room. The filter is easy to find. The alarm will light up RED when the water bucket is full or the Filter needs to be cleaned. t has a low beep. The Dehumidifer Filter on this unit can be removed to be cleaned with a small old brush. There are different Dehumifier sizes to accomadate the size of your home or condo unit. We have the Unit for 1500 square feet for a large 2/2. If you have a two story home or Town house you might want to consider getting the larger unit or invest in two Dehumidifiers. The only reason we gave 4 stars is because we alled Customer Support to get a quick run down for setup and we were disappointed in their lack of product knowledge.

I plugged this in and it started to work fine filled up the tank I would shut off as it's supposed to ended up putting on the hose to run it to a drain in the basement still seems to be working fine but since I'm not emptying the tank I'm not sure how much water it's pulling out. That was confusing though or the numbers and what they actually do in terms of I don't know is it humidity anyway so no idea what it's for couldn't quite figure that out from the instructions but in terms of getting water out of the air seems to do very well

It has been in continuous operation for 6 months with no issues.

This is a nice dehumidifier. My partner who is sensitive to sound believes that it is too noise, but it is actually not really that bad. When it dehumidifies using the compressor you just hear a large fan for a couple of minutes then it goes back to 'idle' for most of the time and you don't hear it at all. We recommend.
