Max 80 Pint/D(Standard 62Pint/D) Energy Star Home Dehumidifier for Spaces up to 5,000 Sq. Ft in Basement Home and Large Rooms with Drain Hose, Handle, Auto Defrost and Self-Drying

J’ai acheté le déshumidificateur Waykar 80 «pints» modèle YDZ-80. Il a été commandé le 30 septembre et livré le 2 octobre. Bravo Amazon!!!!!. J’ai attendu au 3 octobre pour le mettre en marche pour m’assurer que le fluide caloporteur soit bien à sa place. Ce déshumidificateur remplace un vieux Sunbeam. Déjà en le déballant je m’aperçois que bien qu’il soit de la même taille, ce Waykar est au moins 30% moins lourd. Bravo Waykar!!!. Depuis qu’il a été mis en marche, l’appareil a réussi à abaisser le taux d’humidité de la maison (3500) pi2 de 66% à 49% en 3 jours et le maintenir entre 45% et 50% avec un minimum d’énergie. Quelle différence fait cet appareil «EnergyStar». Photo 1. Le panneau de contrôle rend l’appareil très simple à utiliser (photo 2). On peut même le faire fonctionner sur un horaire programmé pour être utilisé la nuit quand le coût de l’électricité est plus faible. Combiné avec la fonction arrêt-départ automatique quand le niveau d’humidité requis est atteint, on utilise une énergie minimale pour le maintien d’un taux d’humidité confortable. L’option d’un drainage continu de l’eau est aussi très «cool» (photo 3-4). Plus besoin de surveiller le niveau d’eau accumulé dans le bac et de le vider régulièrement De plus, le filtre est très accessible pour le nettoyage (photo 5). Donc, jusqu’à maintenant je suis très satisfait du rendement de l’appareil.

Relatively quiet and does job superbly. I am in Michigan and normally begin running my dehumidifier when I turn AC on. This year was different. High temps with high humidity way earlier than usual for MI and it hasn’t abated yet. I am getting an easy 3 gallons/day running on Auto at 45% humidity setting. I use the collected water for plants and laundry. It is just me at home, so it’s difficult for me to use all the water instead of just wasting it. I bought the one with the pump as it was on sale and as inexpensive as the one without. If I ever require that option, I now have it. But I was not going to pay the extra $ just to have the pump; don’t need it. So, were it not for the sale, I would have purchased just the humidifier sans pump. I like that I can control the humidity level by 5% increments. The machine is on wheels and basement is tiled, so that is quite nice, though I usually don’t move it once in place. It will make bringing it into service again and storage when no longer required an easier task, though. Only downside for me is the collection bin. It will be a matter of time before Something breaks. The handle popped out of one side while dumping it. I was using the handle while supporting the base and, enough of a small twist, to pop that handle almist immediately. It is a heavy amount of water when full, so it did not take much. Fortunately, the handle has an easy lock system and placed back in with no difficulty. But it did alert me to a potential weak spot. I’ll keep my fingers crossed and pay better attention while dumping from now on, but it is the easily breakable type plastic, and pretty thin in spots, so we’ll see. No real “spout” or corner to make dumping more easy. It is baffled and in the bottom are 2 channels through the baffling. Helps when removing receptacle, but I did not see any advantage for them for dumping purposes. I suppose if I did not collect the water this would not be an issue. Overall, I am completely satisfied with my purchase. My old one was about 33 years old and, were it not for my neglect on cleaning, would still be going. If this new one lasts half as long, it is still a fantastic purchase in my mind.

Super performant

I got this as when I was trying to figure out what was the best dehumidifier to buy, the information from AI and all the reviews pointed at this one. I then found a good deal (145.00)on this and bought it for my 2nd home. Price was a good fair one and the fact that it is the "most ENERGY EFFICIENT" one out there was the deal breaker. Other factors include "QUIET" and solid reviews. I immediately put it to work a living area and boy was I surprised! It is so quiet I had to check it multiple times to see if it was running. It was and it took the humidity right out of my living area of about 1000 square ft. I set it in comfort mode and let it work after 24 hour of steady running it started to cycle on and off as it reached the comfort humidity level. I also put a Govee Smart Plug Pro on it which also measure the electric wattage it uses. I uses exactly what the claim about 260watts when running. I have 2 other dehumidifiers in my primary home and they use 380watts and 430watts. QUIET, EFFICIENT, WORKS PERFECTLY, NICE SIZE and GOOD PRICE. 5 STAR all the way for me and I am going to check if my Electric Company will give me an additional rebate on this energy star compliant item which will be the icing on the cake.

This unit is small and compact and ultra quiet. I have it draining into a drain so no really certain how much water is coming out but do know that the humidity in my home is down significantly since I began using this unit and it feels much more comfortable with the warm temperatures we have been having and using the AC full tilt. My home is a 2200 SF bungalow on the main floor and again in the basement which is open to the main floor. I have this unit located in the basement. Nice unit and very happy with it after one months usage.
