60 Pint Dehumidifier

EDIT / UPDATE: After several weeks, I'm getting great results. Especially with the "heat dome" and 80%-100% humidity. But I also had a Split Second Power Outage during heatwave. THE UNIT TURNED OFF COMPLETELY. If you have occasional outages, this might not be the best model for a basement or location that you don't visit daily. Ex. Vacant House or Vacation homes you leave empty half the year. ORIGINAL EARLY REVIEW: I bought this 22 pint model for $160. as so many end up doing, I read the reviews after making the purchase. A good number are negative. But I'm not sure what to make of all the fly by night Overseas brands, with mystery brands stamped on the same machines. I prefer to stick to the makes and models included on US Government Recalls. (And these dehumidifiers do get recalled from time to time) That said, take note of the reviews being vastly different, PAYING ATTENTION TO THE PINTS matching up with any given unit. And also noting whether or not other reviewers product arrived brand new from the factory, or open box returns. I'm going to buy the Amazon warranty just in case. (Seeing the hassles of dealing with Electrolux Warranty Dept) BACK TO THE UNIT: Box was sealed and unit was brand new & unused . (Some reviewers claimed to have received used and previously returned unit. ) The unit is LIGHT WEIGHT relatively speaking. Weight of a small microwave? If you need a neighbor to help left the box, it's not like asking to remove anything major. (You're not asking for someone to remove a refrigerator up or down 150-year-old stairway ) I tightened up the somewhat loose hose cap, seeing so many mention their units leaking. I haven't had any leaking as of yet. If that's a concern, get a $5 plastic Boot & shoe tray from the builder stores. (My flooring is slate = difficult to damage) The filter is one of those "you vacuum" reusable mesh filters. MAJOR BONUS . (Vs. Those appliances that require $40 replacement filters 3x a year. ) SO I PLUGGED IN THE MACHINE, ran it on high overnight. Woke up the next AM to a full tank of water. The machine beeps 8 times and shuts down when it's full. 22 pints is approx 2.5 gallons. But the tank isn't necessarily 2.5 gallons. Other reviewers have noted this. I'm in a slab built townhouse. Wood Frame. Drywall Ceilings and Walls. Sound is acceptable and barely noticable on the slab level. Similar sound to a bathroom fan or range hood on Low to medium. CONVERSELY , placed on the upper levels you will hear the PULSATING, REVVING BUZZING SOUND similar to a 30 years old window air conditioner. Somewhat of a bummer, as I bought this to keep moisture low upstairs to prevent clothes moths. BUT I also run the Central HVAC fan 24/7. And I'm getting an impressive 5 gallons a day from a 1,200 3 story home. So I'm gonna keep this kitty. I had to move the Dehumidifier back to the slab level. Out of respect for my shared wall neighbors. And also to preserve my sanity trying to sleep to that grading compressor noise. Seriously. Don't run this ON A 2ND FLOOR if you have shared wall neighbors. And don't run this if you have units above or below yours, WITHOUT Concrete Slab Floors.. You'll just drive your neighbors and yourself absolutely insane. (I've lived in airport landing paths and a long Police-EMS corridors . You get used to the sound and barely notice it after a few weeks. The pulsing, revving sound from this unit is not something you'll get used to. ) BACK TO THE RESULTS: I'm getting at least 2-3 tanks full of water per 24 hours. So the unit definitely works. Seeing all the negative reviews, Buy that Amazon warranty! The Amazon Asuriom warranty is often mentioned as much easier and more reliable Vs the corporate warranty. You file the claim online anytime 24 hours. And they give you a credit toward buying a new machine.

Works great! We had this brand and model for 7 yrs. And it was a workhorse! I think it’s one of the better brands. If a dehumidifier lasts for at least 5 yrs,it’s good. We put it in the basement and it made the mustiness disappear. I think it helps keep mold/mildew at bay before it can take hold. This model has a bucket and a nozzle (to attach a hose). You can let the bucket fill up and then you pour it out…OR you can attach a hose to the nozzle and let it drain continuously into a drain (the much better option if you ask me!). If you use the bucket, it will need to be cleaned at least every few weeks so it doesn’t grow mold & mildew. This is a great dehumidifier. We had it in my brother’s basement to use, because his basement stunk. This little machine, made quick work of drying up his basement and got rid of the odors. Excellent little workhorse of a machine!!! Worth every cent. We don’t need to use it in winter, so it gets a vacation. The furnace acts like a dehumidifier in the winter anyway.

A year ago I bought a couple dehumidifiers on Amazon, it was some unknown brand called Airgjob. I paid almost $450 total and they both stopped working within a month. However, I didn't use the units right after I bought them, so they sat around for a few months and so I started using them and then after 3 or 4 weeks of use that is when they ended up not pulling water out of the air. I contacted their customer service and they had one fake websiteand after a few questions thankfully they refunded both of them. I think they know they were garbage. So in March of this year when the air conditioning needs to start to work, I saw this on sale for $220. I knew the Frigidaire Brand is extremely reliable and I've had a refrigerator of theirs that have lasted almost 20 years and still working like it's new. I run it about 8 hours a day on the maximum high air output and at the coldest setting. The bucket is full at the end of 8 hours. I've done that for almost 5 months now and it's works excellent. I'm so sold on the performance that I bought two more of these units, only with the most recent so which is $229. I got the 3-year warranty as a just in case. Dehumidifiers aren't known to be machines that last and extremely long time, but I've read reviews that some people have used theirs for 8 years or more. Hopefully these will do the same! Just don't forget to wash the filter in the back. The only downside is it continually runs air even though it's met the humidity requirement. So it may be more expensive on the electric bill, but it's been a solid performing unit and I really have no complaints. If you need to run it 24/7, perhaps get two units and then use the auto shut off after a certain amount of hours. And have the other one automatically turn on after a number of hours. It automatically stops when the bucket gets full of water. If it runs non-stop with a continual drain, there might be a risk of the compressor just burning out without a rest. Which would be ideal if you had two units to give each other a break.
