2500 Sq.Ft Dehumidifiers for Home with Drain Hose Max 34 Pints, VEAGASO Dehumidifier for Basement, Large Room, Bathroom, Bedroom, Three Modes, Intelligent Humidity Control, Dry Clothes, 24HR Timer

I bought this 34 pint, 2500 Sq Ft. rated dehumidifier mainly to use in my garage and just started using it a couple of weeks ago. I have a raised ranch with a 2-car, attached (unheated) garage. We get quite a bit of snow here (especially this year) and the snow melt/water that drips from my SUV onto my vinyl garage flooring, significantly raises the humidity in the garage-which has caused excessive rust/corrosion of overhead door tracks, metal support posts, tools, etc. I bought this model specifically because it has the auto defrost feature -allowing it to still function in areas where the temps are lower -like my garage. I like that it comes with a drain hose that I can use if I ever decide to have it drain into my furnace condensate pump.I like that it's on wheels bc it saves my back from having to pick it up when I need to move it. The only time I don't care for the wheels (which don't lock), is when I'm trying to pull the collection tank out. The tank’s side grooves, where you’re supposed to grip it to slide it out aren’t very big, so that can sometimes be a pain- but it's not so bad that I'd consider it a huge negative. Compared to another, similarly sized dehumidifier I bought last year- this one is slightly louder when the fan is on the high setting. However, it doesn't bother me because I only run it in the garage and the unfinished area of the basement. When the unit is running on the high setting, my sound level meter registers it between 60 and 65 dBA (Although I’m not 100% sure how accurate the meter is..) If the unit had to be placed in our typical living areas, I would likely opt for something a little more quiet, but for my situation it’s perfectly fine.Pros:*compact, nice looking unit*wheels for easily moving it around*defrost feature-allowing it to still function in cooler areas (as low as 41°F), like in an attached garage*comes with optional drain hose*auto shut off when tank is full*comes with a 3 year warranty-which was quick and easy to register for. I just scanned a qr code which opened up an email where you just fill in your name, model #, etc.. I received a fast (next day) warranty confirmation response from the manufacturer.*digital display with easy to use controlsCons: (none of these are deal breaker -for me at least)*there isn't much in the way of a recess or grip for being able to grab the collection tank and slide it out when emptying it.*wheels don't have the ability to lock -at least that I saw. Not worried about it rolling away -because unit obviously needs to be on a level surface to function properly -but would be very handy when emptying the collection tank, to hold the unit in place as you need one hand on each side to pull it straight out. After chasing it around the garage a few times, I've come up with some creative (awkward) ways to pull the tank out when there's no one around to hold the unit still for me...*When the fan setting is on high, it's probably a little louder than most would prefer if located in a frequently occupied living area.*Manual that was included doesn’t clearly state what each of the three operation modes does- it only tells you which settings (fan speed, humidity level) can be adjusted depending on which mode you are in. (Modes: Dehumidification; Drying; Continuous) Not a huge deal- I just looked it up online to figure out the difference between each.Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase as it seems to be a well-made dehumidifier and has all of the main options I was looking for, including the 3 year warranty. In hind sight, I probably would've ordered the next size up for my 2 car garage, just so I wouldn't have to run it for quite as long in the cooler months. **When operating at lower temps in the winter, it's normal for dehumidifiers to take longer to remove moisture from the air (thermodynamic principles...) I'd definitely recommend this dehumidifier, and would suggest considering a unit rated for a larger room- if you want to cut back on the amount of time it actually has to run.

I will give 5 stars for now and update later. I just plugged it in!First impression... It's too small. It won't work like I need it too and the water collection tank is really small! I haven't measured it but guessing 4 cups... I don't have access for using the drain hose that it comes with. So I do have dump the tank.The reviews on this little unit are good to great and that why I bought it. I have another unit I bought 8'yrs ago and it runs almost 24/7 and it holds a gallon in its tank. I usually dump it once to twice a day... so you understand my skepticism on this little unit. As small as it is I will be dumping it 4-5 times a day. (I did try to reorder the one I have and they don't make them anymore... imagine that)They say great things come in little packages... so we will see.

I've purchase three dehumidifiers since January of this year. One was a major brand name. Out of the three, this one was the least expensive.It's surprisingly well built, heavy but easy enough to move to different rooms on it's wheels, and has a decent size bucket that - once my rooms were being maintained - can take a few days to fill.I live in Florida and didn't trust the humidity displayed at first, so I bought a three pack of ThermoPro digital hygrometers and placed them in the livingroom and two bedrooms.The number displayed on the dehumidifier is either spot on or ocassionally 1-2 digits off. Most likely due to the water sitting in the bucket. Also, removing the bucket seems to stop the device, but two times it did not, so I simply turned the power off until the bucket was placed back into the unit.Keep in mind that I purchased this unit four months ago, and considering how well it works without breaking the bank, it's well worth the price.Packaging is awesome - very secure - and if you want to, the water can be constanly drained through a hose you can attach to the back of it. So, if you go on vacation, you can still keep it on and have it drain into a sink/shower/etc.

Update.......someone from customer service reached out to me after I posted my review and offered to take care of the issue of a refund even though I didn't have the original box to return this. I appreciate the great customer service with my issue.Got this to replace a dehumidifier that wore out after 8 years of use. Put this in a 900 square foot basement that is much smaller that the area this states it works for. Had it down there for 9 days and it ran continuously without ever shutting off and still only had the humidity down to 60%. I can't send it back because I threw the box away thinking it would not have to be sent back.

The dehumidifier is just what I needed. With all our rain recently, the humidity inside my house rose to as high as 80 percent. With less than 24 hours of operation, It has already dropped to 63 % in the room with the machine and to 71 % in other rooms. It was easy to set up and operate. I’ve already had to empty the water collection container, and that was simple and quick. It’s been in use 2 days now. I have emptied the water 6 times and the humidity level is in the 50’s where the machine is and in the 60’s in other parts of the house.
