Question: how much power dose the unit draw     can you hook up a drain hose to the tray
Document: We've been using this unit since July and I really like it. It's relatively quiet and does a great job of taking the moisture out of the air in my basement. I have connected a hose to the unit so it empties directly into the basement drain. I like that it turns itself of and on as needed. I would purchase this unit again and I would recommend it to others.
This machine is very quiet and works very well. It has to be emptied often, but thats just due to my very humid basement. Have yet to connect the hose for continuous draining. Very good product, recommended!
This unit has been very reliable and effective -- it gets almost 2 gallons/day of water out of the air in my bedroom. Wooden doors and drawers have stopped sticking, no more mildew. How did I ever live without it?
It's a nice compact unit, very quiet but the fan is continuous and uses extra electricity. I turn mine off but the room humidity goes below 38%. The tank is a bit difficult to remove, must make sure to pull on each side and you need to bend down to remove it.It doesn't take long for the dehumidifier to bring back the room humidity you set. After you set the humidity level you desire, the read out will display the present humidity.
Purchased this to solve 2 problems. One, humidity, and the other a high electric bill, and it works great on both counts. Draws the moisture out of the air quite nice, and I didn't notice much change in the bill. So it was a win, win. It's quiet, and portable, and quite stylish for a dehumidifier. Sure served the purpose.
Using the controls was a snap.The reason I'm only giving it 3 stars, instead of 4, is that the humidity meter shows a much lower level of humidity then my RMR203HGA Oregon Scientific Temperature and Humidity Station shows.by about 6 or 7%. This shuts the machine off too soon when using the auto shut off. I'm not overly concerned about this because I can set the auto shut off to a lower humidity to compensate.
We use it in our living room, small house built in the 50s with no insulation and we live in a damp climate. We don't use a dehumidifier in the summer, but, in the winter the condensation on the windows is remarkable. Using a dehumidifier clears up the condensation quickly.I will write an update down the road. If the humidity meter isn't too annoying, which it probably would be for the perfectionist, I expect to raise this to 4 stars. I never give 5 stars.
Was not able to get this model locally for some reason. Arrived in good shape. Put it right to work in 30'x40' basement - fills container in about 6 hours. Not quite a year old, works fine.
This machine is awesome. I had SERIOUS dampness problems in my basement, bad enough that there was that funky smell & it was permeating into the house. The first month I was emptying 5 gallon buckets every other day. Now I empty 3 inches of water once a week, if that. The smell is gone, everything is dry & there is no mold forming on anything.I highly recommend.
This dehumidifier has done great job through the GA summer (and the winter) at keeping the humidity low in my apartment. I have a two bed, two bath one story apartment, and I only need this one dehumidifier. It looks nice, rolls well, and really isn't too terribly loud. I like some noise when I sleep, but I don't feel this is over the top loud. I would buy this again.
Answer: I can't tell you how much power the unit draws but I found that it increased my electric bill about $15 per month while it was running and there is a drain hose so you don't have to use the tray. The drain hose is short but you could hook up your own hose to extend it.
