De'Longhi 35 Pint Dehumidifier with Pump,White

En nuestra vieja casa, de casi 100 años ya, hay mucha humedad. Nos ha sorprendido la cantidad de humedad que absorben. El precio nos pareció razonable y su función muy buena. Un poco ruidosos, de manera que sólo los usamos cuando no estamos en la habitación que queremos deshumidificar. Fuera de eso, valen mucho la pena.

I have a basement that, for the longest time, had serious water intrusion issues. I have since corrected the issue but this unit was a LIFE SAVER during the issues. It really does do a fantastic job at decreasing humidity and it isn't overly loud. I used the included hose to drain into my laundry sink.Now that the water flooding issue has been corrected, this fella does work keeping the humidity down in my basement. It's a pretty big unit but does come on casters so it moves easily.

Appareil fonctionne bien et offre un bon rendement.

My old DeLonghi dehumidifier finally conked out after 10+ years of hard working service. Delighted to find this replacement. Hopefully it can go the same distance.

This dehumidifier is very effective. It can pull a lot of moisture from the air quickly. There are some quirks to know about though.The pump is a major convenience feature. The pump system uses a small plastic tube from the front of the unit. The tube measures 17'. You can run the unit continuously and have the pump drain the water. Pump drained water can go above the level of the machine to e.g. a sink drain.There is also a 40" gravity drain hose that attaches to the back of the unit. The drain hose must go to below the tank for it to work. Since the dehumidifier is on wheels that don't lock, putting it above the floor to drain into a sink would be risky.You can set the unit to a target humidity down to 30% relative humidity level. If it reaches below the target humidity, the powerful and noisy fan continues to operate constantly even if the cooling elements don't. Since the exhaust air is warm, using this in a confined space may not be effective even with the recommended 2-4' space in front since the whole area will get pretty warm with the exhaust air. Warm air is going to lower relative humidity and make the dehumidifier less efficient. I found the best thing to do was place it in a hallway where there is clear air flow to the front and back. You can also set it to timed or continuous mode. That is where your pump or gravity drain will be most useful.The instructions say not to use extension cords but they give you only 6' of power cord. The water tank itself doesn't have a good place to grip it to remove it so it is awkward to pull it out when full with water. If you are emptying the tank by hand, the dehumidifier may drip while you have the tank removed.Overall, I think this is a highly effective dehumidifier that would be excellent in larger, open spaces where the continuous mode with pump drainage would really shine.
