Works great but noisyDecember 19, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Pros: Pulls moisture out great; you can set the % humidity you want and it only runs when needed; automatic restart after power outage; common sense user controls and readouts; current humidity level readout.
Cons: Loud when in the same room with it
I bought this to replace a Kenmore that was not pulling moisture out of the air any more. After a very rainy summer, my 1800 sq ft finished basement had developed a bad case of mildew. The humidity level was at 90% when I first started the unit. After 2 days it had dropped to only 75%. By the end of 5 days it dropped to 55% running non stop. I had to leave for 2 weeks. When I got back the unit was off because the filter needed cleaning. It was simple to remove, clean and replace - only a 10 minute job (most of that was getting it dry). After reinserting the filter the unit automatically restarted at the levels I had set. Now that the humidity level has hit 50% (where I set it) the unit has shut off and rarely runs.
I cleaned the basement thouroughly when I first got the unit. The mildew has not come back, and the musty smell is gone.
The only thing left to see is if this unit will continue to work for a number of years.
Bottom line: Even though this unit is not quiet, I am very pleased with it's performance. I just hope it continues to work well for years.
