Bought this as overkill for a 2200 sf house to manage humidity for fine musical instruments. Works great to manage humidity during rainy days. You’d be surprised how much water it pulls out the air. The large reservoir is very adequate to make it through an entire day and keep that section of my home in the 43-48% range desired. The current humidity reading lets you know impact of weather, showers in nearby bathrooms, etc. on humidity in your home. The set to humidity function is also a nice feature. Although I bought the model with the pump, I have yet to test out that feature. Next year during our hot Deep South summer I’m sure I will appreciate it though. Worth splurging for, and quality is great. The only neg note, make sure the drain cap is screwed on correctly before you drench your carpet, like I did mine.
The unit seems to cycle as expected.
Received the replacement controller and all worked perfectly. Thank you for the timely response and assistance.
This dehumidifier works well straight out of the box. The controls are fairly easy to figure out too. I'm giving this 4 stars as the humidity control is a bit odd. If you set it to 50%, the humidity in the room can vary between 45 and 56% based on the values I'm reading off of the six humidity gages I have around the living room. The 45% setting is even more variable as I've seen values between 36% and 52%. So I'm not sure how accurate the built-it humidity sensor is. I'm using the same model for several humidity gages around the house and I've lined them all up in the same spot a few times and they've all read +- 2% humidity and +- 1 F from each other, so I trust them more than the Waykar sensor. That would be one thing I think Waykar could improve on their dehumidifiers. We have three different Waykar models in our house.
