180PPD LGR Commercial Dehumidifier with Pump for Basement Warehouse & Job Sites, Large Space Crawl Space Dehumidifier for Efficient Water Damage Restoration,5 Years Limited Warranty, Green

I was skeptical on buying it at first but my dehumidifier just went out and needed a new 1. I bought it and installed it in my basement where I have high humidity (70% humidity). I unboxed it and it's a hefty well built dehumidifier which i was impressed. Not cheaply made. I turned it on expecting its gonna be loud and it was impressively quiet. Nice future it has a pump that pumps out the water by itself. It's very easy to turn on and its functions very easily. It dropped down the humidity from 70% down to 35% in literally about an hour if not less!! I will definitely will be buying another 1 for my other building!

Terrific product... easy to use, quiet, and really efficient. Tamed our damp basement, and is keeping it under control. Will add that customer service was outstanding, providing excellent support in placement and setting up. Expensive for a basement dehumidifier, but it works like a champ. Indeed... my wife has even nicknamed it "The Beast", and it is her favorite appliance.

I put it in the warehouse where antique furniture and collections are stored. It is not merely a dehumidifier; it is also my "asset protector". The harm of high humidity is slow but fatal, causing wood to deform, metal to rust and paper to mold. This dehumidifier can help me eliminate these risks. It works silently every day, protecting my valuable assets from moisture erosion. From this perspective, its value far exceeds its selling price. It is not afraid of harsh environments and guards my treasure with its powerful performance. Its reliability makes me unable to resist recommending it to you.

I’m very impressed with the quality and customer service provided by Alorair. Unfortunately, things happen and the unit did fail after four months. I’m sure it was an isolated problem. I reached out to customer service and they were very proactive in shipping me a brand new replacement unit after just a few qualifying troubleshooting questions. The new unit is working flawlessly and again I’m impressed by the build quality and customer service. The receiving and returning of the unit was a seamless process. Sincerely, Marc

PURCHASED May 2019 I purchased this unit based on most reviews, and I’m 100% pleased so far only had about 3 weeks. But since my 18 year old Kenmore unit that worked perfect died, I’ve had nothing but junk since everything today is china crap for $250 do your self a favor and spend the Money, you get what you pay for. This unit rocks! It’s super quiet and is commercial grade with out the super high price $1600-$2500 plus at $999 it’s perfect. You’ll go through 3 of the cheap ones that don’t even pull the humidity out. This unit is in a completely finished basement no visible water ever but can run 55-60 % humidity this unit has a pump with about a 25-30 foot hose it pumps very even no high pressure that would make the hose jump out of a sink where I have it draining I tested it over night in a 5 gallon bucket so in about 12 hrs it filled the bucket 1/2 full. It’s running my basement at 46% humidity at 69degrees When the basement goes down to 65 degrees or lower it does ice up the coils but it automatically goes into defrost for a few min and defrost the coil. The digital read out Is awesome it reads the temp and humidity going in and out of the unit also as you scroll through it reads the coil temp, the actual compressor amps at3.6, total amps with the squirrel cage style blower about 5 amps really efficient on electric. Reads the total job hours and can be reset this is the total time it’s been running. When it reaches the humidity set point the entire unit shuts down. It retains its settings if power fails. And it also ready total life hours. It reads grain PPm. And has a screen for total in and out temp and humidity. It has a metal washable slide in filter, and the hose can be curled up and it has a Velcro hanger, very nice power cord that lights up at the wall outlet. It has a button to surge the internal sump pump which count downs 25 sec as it manually drains the water if you press it otherwise it does it automatically when it’s full. And the warranty is better then many at much more cost . So these are the pros ! My only slight con is it is heavy about 70 lbs but it has two very strong handles to pick it up I had no problem. And other con is I have a burber carpet in my basement and when I slid the unit to the wall the rubber feet made black marks on my carpet but it cleaned up with soap and water. Nothing to make me not want to buy it. I will be purchasing another one for my 1200 foot shop. Also you can stack them and hand truck it. The plastic housing is super quality and tough stuff. This is a super quality pro unit. Oh btw my basement is also 1200 Sf. They say in the listing it can be submerged ? I’m not sure about this or why you would want to cause the power cord that plugs into the unit has a little flap that pops up to plug the female end in but it surely is not a water tight seal so I would not recommend this it will short out plus why would you it’s not a sump pump. It’s a dehumidifier? It has a small sump pump built in to pump out the water it collects but not to pump out lets say a foot or more water flooded in your basement. For that I would get a sealed pump, then once all your damage water is out you certainly can now use this to dry up the environment. Highly recommend I hope the review helps ! PLEASE READ !!!!!! UPDATE May 2021 unit failed after 15 months error code E5 refrigerant leak! Like many others that bought these units. Ok so here goes! I tried to email the company twice about my problem, they got back after the second email and saint to call. I called and spoke to Cynthia very nice but just like many others it was over a year old and they will not issue a shipping return label. I live on the east coast there in Cali.. they wanted me to pay $200 to have a new unit shipped out but continued on my existing warranty! Really??? I’m going to pay an additional $200 on top of the grand i already spent to try again? After telling her that many people are having this problem, she understood my frustration but still no resolve yet. Had to send pictures of the error code they wanted to send me out a new sensor. But I knew it was not a sensor cause the unit just ran and made no heat it was done. Then they wanted me to pay $400 to upgrade to a $1400 unit made with the same components. Btw this is not an American made appliance. It’s made in China. When I asked to speak to a supervisor I was told there all in China and could not speak to me because of the time difference??? Really ok how about at 3 am our time? There Amazon page is not true as an American company selling made in America products! Not true. After weeks of emails and phone calls they offered to ship another unit. I refused after all I was going through I wanted my money back a full refund. They finally refunded the full amount but I was expecting they were sending it to me directly, they issued a refund to a credit card I used 2 years ago on Amazon to a account I closed and no longer have access to. But has a balance so I can’t get the money back and no longer use that company, so I’m screwed. I have a 90 lb big yellow door stop. And no money to buy another unit. I should have excepted the new unit at least I would have had something in hand to maybe work for another year or so. So now I have to repair this unit myself which I will because I know how to fix refrigeration systems. But I shouldn’t have to do this. So please please heed this warning! This company does not have any service ability they are an American front for a Chinese product and all they can do is issue parts, help you take it apart and try and fix minor things. But if it’s a major thing like a leak or a compressor failure your screwed. And let me tell you I’ve been researching these for years. So when you see a ton of these that all look similar, but from different companies. There all the same. All these things are being made in China hundreds of thousands and being sold to any company in the USA and have their name put on it. Another company colzlar same thing. They will only replace it if your lucky. I specifically went with this unit because it listed it used a rare earth metal in the coils with a spec coating to prevent refrigerant leaks which is very common on these things, cause there junk! We have refrigerators in our homes that last 10,15,20 years and never have a problem. But they can’t make these crap dehumidifiers last 2 years. And anyone who’s not familiar it’s a simple refrigeration system like your home frig. Just operating at a different temperature. Or more like your home A/C it removes the humidity. In this case instead of the warm air blowing off the condenser outside it blows it back into the room and heats the room up, or some you can duct outside. Unfortunately this is the reality. Don’t get me wrong you see my first review was great I was loving this over the $200 household units. It kicked butt! But they don’t hold up. Oh and do you know what the rare earth metal is ? Aluminum! Lol! That’s rare huh! With an epoxy coating to help preserve it but it still leaked! If they just used good copper coils and braised them it would last 25 plus years. But that’s our life today it’s all throw away crap! I bet these cost less then $150 to make in China and they sell them here for a grand or more.! Now I’ll have to epoxy the aluminum coils under a vacuum to repair it then put in the 21 oz of refrigerant. They have no service centers anywhere in the country. I told them why don’t you reach out to local refrigeration and A/C companies to do your warranty service, and I was told that most companies don’t want to work on them . Hmm maybe I should take this on, unless it’s because they don’t want to pay? Its cheaper to send you another piece of junk since it doesn’t cost anything to make in China. If you decide to buy any of these things from any of the different companies selling these on Amazon I would highly recommend purchasing the Amazon extended 4 year warranty it will be well worth it! At least you’ll either get a new unit or a refund through Amazon! Good luck everyone! Such a scam of crap! It doesn’t take much to make something decent that will last! They just don’t want to! quality is just out the window.!

This ALORAIR 180PPD dehumidifier has been a game changer for my basement and restoration work. It pulls an impressive amount of moisture fast and the built-in pump makes draining effortless. The build quality feels professional grade, and it’s been running smoothly every day since I got it — well worth the investment!

ALORAIR 180 ppd commercial dehumidifier functions as it should you should clean out the filter as the manual describes it was a little expensive but seems to be good quality it has definitely lowered the humidity level in our crawl space. It has lots of menu options which is nice you can use it with Wi-Fi or not. It's a little bit heavy but not too unmandable.

This dehumidifier feels sturdy and well made. Works great in crawl space, and it’s been quietly keeping the area dry without much attention from me. The design is simple, and it runs smoothly. It doesn’t take up much space and doesn’t make a lot of noise, which I appreciate. Overall, it does its job well.
