I purchased this dehumidifier for our camper.
It was relatively small, quiet, simple to operate and easy to set up.
I intended to use the continuous drain option, so that it would not shut itself off every time the 11 pint reservoir was full (which takes less than 8 hours in humid weather), but the drain function would not work.
I called the company (invation) and the technician who responded said the item was defective and recommended I return it. Amazon was very helpful with the return and gave me a full refund.
Shortly after this, the seller (Dbroth) contacted me and sent me another dehumidifier free of charge. The second one worked perfectly.
This dehumidifier is just the right size for my 28 foot fifth wheel. It works perfectly keeping humidity below 50% even during the worst rainfall PA has had in decades. I could not say enough good stuff about the dehumidifier or way this seller handled this order.
This is the real deal. Unlike most of the other brands, this one actually has a compressor. It will truly extract humidity out of the air in a serious way and you will know because the bucket will fill up quickly. It will make sounds when it goes to work and the humidity levels go above your pre-set limits but it is not to much. I have it on next to the bed while I sleep. Sturdy, professional design and ease of use. Very nice product.
This thing works great.
Don’t suffer dampness and mold - get a good quality dehumidifier. A dehumidifier is essentially a small refrigerator with a fan that condenses excess levels of water out of your air. This one will more than adequately dehumidify a 150 sq. ft. area pretty quickly, which is great for a camper or a ‘tiny house.’ Something to consider when cooking and bathing in a relatively small living space is that wet washcloths, and bath and kitchen towels, will cause rapid increases in humidity as they hang to dry, which will quickly condense in cold corners and dark areas, causing mold that can smell bad and make you very sick in many ways. A dehumidifier in this situation is a health necessity. Do not underestimate the serious danger of humidity in a living space.
That said, this dehumidifier works fast. Right out of the box, it lowered the humidity level by 5% in just two hours, producing about two pints of water. That means that to bring the humidity down to 40% in my living space, this dehumidifier needs to pull almost a gallon of water out of my air.
I’ll update this review soon. Right now, I’m just looking forward to a good night’s sleep without night sweats, and getting on with my life without all the intestinal bleeding.
Update:
This dehumidifier has changed my life. My indoor air is cleaner, warmer, and dryer. It’s like a private paradise now, and my health is much better overall. I cleaned out all the mold I could see, and the dehumidifier took care of the rest.
this is the best dehumidifier I've purchased, quiet and keeps my room at 50% all the time, even when it's 80% humidity outside, which is quite often.
I really like this little dehumidifier. I put it in my walk in closet because it had a mold problem. I tried Damp Rids but was burning through them so fast! I also tried a dehumidifier without a compressor. It did actually pull water, just not enough. This fills up about once a day. That's a lot for a closet! It's does a great job and is quiet. Except for the beeping! It beeps very loudly for a while when it is full. Also, it delays turning off. You push the button and it doesn't turn off for about 10 seconds which is a long time.

I bought this to drop the humidity in a large, finished basement. The room is probably 900-1,000 SQ feet and the humidity was around 60%.
This humidifier dropped it to 45% overnight and has been keeping it there ever since. I have the drain hose installed for continuous draining into a sump pump well.
It's very quiet, you barely notice it running. It outputs a bit of heat but not too significant.
The humidistat is not accurate though - it'll keep the room like +/- 5% of the humidity you set, which is frustrating.
Edit: this has been running non stop for me for almost a year now. Still keeping my basement bone dry and very comfortable. The room doesn't feel like a basement. It's remained quiet and reliable.
This little unit works good even though it’s placed in a slightly larger square footage area than it’s rated at. This lower level storage area is surrounded by foam block insulated concrete on all 6 sides except for the door, which is closed all the time. Moisture from the ground can still wick through the concrete over time but the dehumidifier, given time, keeps up nicely while at the lowest setting possible.
If using the supplied drain hose one thing you must be aware of is not to leave the hose length too long on your setup. I led the entire hose down into a sump crock but the long length curled upward at the far end just enough to trap water, preventing gravity to drain the condensate, which in turn caused the holding tank to fill up, shutting down the system while unattended. Trimming the drain tubing stopped this issue and the dehumidifier now runs autonomous. It hasn’t been run for very long so I can’t rate the durability yet. So far, so good.
This thing pulls a huge amount of water out of the air for as small as it is. Super quiet and easy to clean filters.
I bought this item for our work office, it gets super hot and humid in the front. We'd always change the thermostat to try and get some of the humidity out while the rest of the building would get freezing. Now we placed this dehumidifier where it's most humid and there is certainly a change! It's super easy to turn on and get it to work. Once the water container is full - the machine stops working until it is emptied. I have left it on overnight and have come back to it turned off and full.
The only bad I saw was that the machine had a couple of scratches when taken out of the box and it had a funky smell when it first started to work (that has since stopped). But other than that it's easy, reliable and has a nice look to it.
I bought this compact unit for our master bedroom. It works just fine, is reasonably quiet, I only run it daytime, and at 60% humidity setting it achieves setting within a few hours. Wish I had a way to connect a hose, as it reaches 11 pints within 6-8 hours of operation. I/we live in a rainforest area. 😎
