For years I had a bathroom that was plagued with black mold due to excessive humidity. The little dots would appears along the tops of the walls shortly after I'd scrubbed them or painted over them, and then bloom into larger rosettes within weeks. We tried squirting bleach at them, we scrubbed them routinely, and they went away only to appear again a few weeks later. We tried leaving the door open to let some of the humidity out, but that meant less privacy. We opened the window in the summertime, and that helped, but in the winter it was far too cold. Then I stumbled across this machine while on vacation at my sister-in-laws house and the solution was clear. I'm one of those people who obsessively research a major-ish purchase like this before I buy it. I don't like dropping cash on something that later turns out to be a dud, so I read reviews and comparisons and went and looked a few items in stores. Finally, I bought this machine and it's terrific. It works effectively and is easy to use. I empty it about once/week and clean the filter on average once/month. I'm very satisfied - if you're looking for a good, quality dehumidifier with great customer support look no further. UPDATE 2/10/19: My original unit stopped working after a few months so I reached out to HOmelabs and they substituted it for free. The replacement has been chugging away for nearly a year now without any issues - faithfully sucking the moisture out of the air and drying out my steamy bathroom. Best of all - ZERO black mold. Love this unit and would highly recommend both the appliance and the brand. UPDATE 7/6/20: this little beast is still going strong. Sucks the humidity out of the bathroom in the winter and then moves to the basement in the summer. Runs 25/7/365 without complaint or missing a beat. Pretty economical to run, too. Would recommend and buy another whenever the time comes. UPDATE 5/14/22: This little champ is still going after nearly five years. It runs daily, faithfully dehumidifying our bathroom which sees 3-4 steaming hot showers per day (kids have grown into smelly teenagers since we’ve had this thing). I haven’t seen mold in so long I’ve forgotten what it looks like. About to pull the trigger on buying another unit for the basement over the summer, which will then replace the original on the bathroom/basement rotation when it eventually has to “go play with its friends on a farm upstate” someday. UPDATE 7/31/23: This thing is truly the energizer bunny of dehumidifiers. It’s getting a little noisier and perhaps a little less efficient but after 5.5 years of non-stop service it has held up extremely well for a consumer grade appliance. I still haven’t subbed it out for a new one (probably will do so as we get back into fall and the bathroom window closes). When I do getting another one of these will be the easiest decision of the year. UPDATE 8/16/25: The darn thing is still going! The thing is like Edison’s lightbulb. As long as I don’t touch it, look at it, or even acknowledge its presence it just keeps faithfully working, keeping the basement dry during this swampy hot summer. I have this thing for eight years now and it’s been in almost continual service. Sure, it’s a little noisy but like Boxer from Animal Farm it just keeps optimistically pushing forward, so we’re riding this one to the bitter end to see how long it will keep going.

I got this after reading the various reviews. I needed it for a large bath (stone floors, so it has an echo effect somewhat) and the rest of the house. Since the bath has two doors and is not used much, I keep both doors open so the dehumidifier gets the air from the other 2 BR's and kitchen area and master bath. It pulls a good amount of water out - I can leave it overnight easily and it doesn't shut off but fills up about halfway. Perhaps a better test is looking at a good humidistat. Before I turned it on the room next to it was at 50% humidity. After running it on both low and "turbo" it reduced it by 8% and 10% respectively. As for the noise: Anyone should know if you have a compressor and a humidifier there will be noise just like an air conditioner in a window or outside. So I took a decibel meter and tested. Keeping in mind my bath is not huge (10' x 6' approx.) I got about 8 feet away from the unit while on low setting. The decibels measured 50 dB. I then put it on "turbo" (high speed) and I got 58 dB. Not bad at all considering the confined space. As a comparison, normal talking is about 65-70 dB. My TV in the living room when on at a moderate volume is 60-62 dB average. I cannot hear anything from 15 feet away but a slight fan noise from the humidifier. It doesn't get in the way of sleeping or listening to TV, talk on the phone or to other people. I think it is very quiet for a dehumidifier that is as large and powerful as this one. Those who are bothered or say it is too loud need to get something much smaller or move it to another place or get used to it I suppose. It is well made. yes, plastic, but not flimsy, even when I put out the water container and pick it up by the handle to dump the water. It is every bit as easy to clean and work as the supposedly great Sears brand I had for 4-5 years which was constantly getting plugged up in the drain tube. This humidifier also is simple to clean and access everything. I do not use the timer. The one time it filled up fully, it shut off automatically. No problem. It's easy to wheel around on casters. I do not find the heat it puts out to be bad at all. I keep my place at about 72 in the summer. and it doesn't even heat up the bathroom it is in that I can tell. I would recommend this unit highly as far as price and function and design. It has a good two year warranty also!

great product. i bought one of these and it worked great. the wifi control and the pump function are great and allows for control and monitoring when youre not home. its quite effective and powerful enough for my two spaces. one is 600 sqft the other is 1800 sqft.

Funciona según lo previsto. La bomba se reinicia tras un corte de luz cuando los usuarios no están en casa. Me gusta la opción wifi y parece funcionar bien. El diseño es deficiente: el cubo se llena de agua antes de que arranque la bomba.

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 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.
