Waykar 2000 Sq. Ft 34 Pints 2025 Most Efficient Energy Star Dehumidifier for Home and Basement with Auto or Manual Drainage, Quiet 33dB Operation, 0.6 Gallon Water Tank Capacity

Super low watts 111-119
​​I wanted a dehumidifier with low watts and this is very low for this type of appliance.Ever since I bought solar panels and solar batteries, low watts are now my main appliance criteria.I have a watt tester and this is only 111-119 watts with the compressor running. I have checked it many times.I also wanted a unit that can blow air sideways and does not blow air straight up to the ceiling since I want to direct the air and heat from it. I might have considered a different brand if not for that.The other reason I wanted a low watt small unit is because I want it to run it all night on continuous or dry settings so I do not have to hear the compressor come on and off which is noisy.  So I do not care that it takes awhile to bring the humidity down because I intend to leave it on all night in cool weather, so it is perfect for my needs. It took one hour to reduce the humidity in a 10 X 10 foot room from 75% to 45% – so if you have a large space….it may take quite a while longer or it may depend on how insulated your home is or how damp the climate, so it may not be able to keep up.am using it for a single room, so it seems fine.If you want something for a large room or to work very quickly and then simply shut off, and you have a lot of humidity, this may not be for you, not sure.My larger dehumidifier uses 400 watts and can do the same percent humidity change, as above, in about 10-15 minutes instead of an hour, so I am not saving watts for each percent in humidity change. It is still about 100 watts total to get the job done with either one in a single room. However, like I said, I want to leave it on, so this saves a lot of energy over time. My home is also not well insulated so even if the large unit gets the job done in under 15 min – it may be damp again by the end of the remaining hour making the smaller unit a better option under those conditions.The other advantage (or disadvantage) of this unit is that being low power, it produces a lot less heat.It only raised the room temperature a couple of degrees in one hour. My larger unit can change a room temperature by about 10-15 degrees in a larger 12X12 foot room and is a good heating option in winter. I am not sure yet if this will be a good winter heat source or if it will simply be my mild spring-fall option. We will see.Either unit is far more energy efficient than any space heater, by far, regardless. The other thing that makes this a good option, is that if you set it at 45 percent humidity (rather than use continuous or dry) it will shut off at around 42-43% and not come back on until 47-48%, thus, it is not turning on and off all the time for every percentage change in humidity. My larger one, of a different brand, does that, and with only a 1 percent change, it turns on and off and it is super annoying and loud when it does, thus the need for the continuous setting. So, it depends on what you are looking for.So far, so good, for what I wanted, and I will also probably use it to dry hand washables in the bathroom with the dry setting on damp days, as well,  with the dry setting.It came with a manual but no set-up instructions.Its humidity gauge is similar to my separate units if placed nearby, so accurate enough.It does shut off when the bucket is full – that works fine.Do not forget to tighten the hose adapter plug in the back! Mine came lose, but I noticed it ahead of time. If you do not tighten it, it may leak.The unit is also a bit noisy. It is not louder then my bigger one but makes a higher pitch background sound and some slight chugging sounds, so I hope I can habituate to that.

Great dehumidifier!
This dehumidifier works great! It is so much quieter than our old one and doesn’t blow hot air into an already warm room. Nice quality product and easy to use. The water collection bucket/tank is a bit small but we hope to drain it through the floor soon. Any questions or concerns we have had were promptly and professionally taken care of immediately.

Love this quiet light weight portable dehumidifier
the unit performs as advertised. I am using it in the cellar, and it is just the right size. During the summer months I put it near my set tub so I could do ‘continuous’ without having to empty it. With the cooler days and the heat on I am using the collection tank. It is quiet. I am having a squeaky wheel issue but Customer Service is helping me resolve this issue. I would recommend this lightweight unit. Since it is ‘Energy Star’ I got a rebate from my electric company applied to my bill. Win-win all around.

This dehumidifier does not work , at all . It cost me 500 dollars Australian. And zero dollars freight. Now I can’t get a refund until I return it at a cost to me of $260au . Don’t know what yo do .

Very happy with this Waykar purchase! I wasn’t sure as I wasn’t familiar with the company, but went ahead after seeing the positive customer support reviews. Our basement was damp with 30 plus degree weather outside. This brought our basement from 65-80 to 42-52. Ultimately depends on how humid, but it lowered the humidity to completely acceptable levels.I do not like the drain hose. It’s sooo tiny! That was disappointing. I need something longer than 1.5-2 feet lol.. I bought a separate drain hose. This said, haven’t connected it yet as it only requires draining every day and that’s worked out fine!I like the oscillating can option. It is a bit loud but just sounds like a fan, so the sound isn’t bad at all! It’s powerful!! I’ve been using it for 3 weeks or so now straight and no issues!
