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.
