I purchased this dehumidifier based on the positive reviews that I read about it. So far I have not been disappointed. It is very easy to set up and start using. It looks very stylish and modern (especially compared to the old clunkers I'm used to using). What I like most is how quiet it is. It's placed in the recreational area of our basement where we also have furniture and a TV. If the dehumidifier comes on while watching TV it is not objectionable at all. I also like the fact that it's a 65 pint unit: don't need to empty it very often. I haven't had it long enough to notice any reduction on our electric bill but it has to be much better than the 40 year old energy hog we've been using. I would highly recommend this product.
This unit performs excellently and pulls more water from my basement air than the previous one did even when new. I like the feature that automatically restarts the unit if there is a power outage. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that there appears to be no way to provide continuous water discharge to another vessel. The booklet indicates this is possible, but the diagrams don't seem to match up with the unit itself. So, I empty the collection bucket periodically. I have owned this since May and it will be interesting to see how it runs during the winter. My previous unit froze up late last winter after about 4 years, necessitating purchase of this one.
This unit is doing an excellent job on my basement humidity levels, keeping it 45% relative humidity with ease. Although noise is not a concern because of where it is, it's actually fairly quiet in 'normal' mode and wouldn't mind using it in a living space.
I'm using the continuous drain option with a hose going into a sump pump drain. I only knocked off a star because setting up the continuous drain is a bit awkward and the documentation does not match the supplied parts at all. It's as if the design was changed after the documentation was written. You need to disconnect the tank connection and route a small tube (supplied) to a threaded hose spigot (supplied) which you screw to the back of the unit. Unfortunately the threading was not quite right for my hose that has a metal coupler and it leaked just a bit. However, I found a plastic coupler that fit just fine, and then connected my hose to that. Make sure your rubber washers are in good shape.
After researching dehumidifiers, we found the Sunpentown to be what we thought best. After using it now for over a month of very wet weather, we were right! This unit has turned out to be a great purchase. We set it at the humidity level we think best and nearly forget it. Unfortunately, where located in our basement, there is no easy drain close by so we do have to empty it every few days. Not a big deal since it shows me that it does truly work well!!! I am glad that we purchased one with a large capacity so that don't have to empty it more frequently. Overall, this does exactly what we needed and the mold has decreased. I highly recommend this unit.
