Shinco 6,000 Sq.Ft Energy Star Dehumidifier with WIFI, Ideal for Large Rooms and Home Basements, Efficient Moisture Removal with Adjustable Humidity Control, 1.32 Gallons Water Tank

This is a terrific dehumidifier. In San Diego, the weather is slightly humid all year around to the point where it can get reach up to 70%+ humidity inside your pad. That is not healthy man. These after a few uses, this unit will take that humidity level down to the low 50% level. The removable container holds a lot, and the best feature of all, the container has a float device and once the float reaches a full level point, it will turn the dehumidifier off. It’s relatively quiet; it makes a low frequency white noise hum where I can easily fall asleep to it all night without it bothering me. Another great feature, it has a folding handle so you carry and move it quickly from one spot to another. Even though it rolls on small caster wheels, it will not roll across carpet easily so picking it up with the handle is very convenient; it’s a nice touch. Lastly, the cord is decently long, and there are hooks molded into the rear case so the cord can be rolled-up and stowed so it isn’t just hanging about all time in the wide open, which gives things an untidy look. I’ve used this for 6+ months and it still going strong. This unit deserves the highest rating.

We bought this dehumidifier and it has been wonderful! We have a lot of sliding glass doors in our house and they let in a lot of humidity from outside, so we bought this to help, and it's amazing. Set it on Auto and let it work its magic! There's a definite difference between outside and inside now, and I no longer feel a constant need to wash my face when I'm sitting around at home. ~30lbs is a bit bulky to lug up and down the stairs (we only ordered one to see how we like it), but it's do-able and the handle is convenient. A bit rattly while running, but I put a felt circle sticker underneath it and that solved the problem instantly. My only wish is that we had ordered two! Our mailing address is an FPO, and I think it must have been too expensive to mail because they no longer ship to FPO addresses and we can't buy another now. Sad discovery. The tank is not huge, but the machine is a workhorse. If we leave it on low and empty it right before we go to bed, we have a full tank in about 8 hours. (Average humidity outside here is 67%). The more we leave it running, the longer it takes to fill, which is nice. "High" is a bit loud to sleep in the same room with, but "low" is like a two-for-one deal with a white noise machine. Drowns out the road noise, crickets, etc, so our dogs sleep more peacefully too. The drainage hose worked great, we had it drain into the shower overnight. But the tube that came with it was challenging to pull out the next day so that we could move it around the house, I'd recommend getting a screw-on hose if it's something you're going to be connecting/disconnecting often. And for those of you with littles, it does have a child-lock feature so they aren't pushing all the buttons every time they toddle by. Enjoy!

6000 SQ foot model and does take a long time to dehumidify 1300 Sq foot home in Arizona set at 50% humidity level. I am satisfied with the product and have no need for wireless communication. I remember an old dehumidifier I had that was constantly cycling due to the humid sensor sensing the water in the bucket that started to evaporate and trip the sensor. The cover on top of the bucket is a great idea to avoid tripping the sensor from bucket evaporation. The machine makes a buzzing sound a little bit but it's OK. Major improvement needed. The handle on the bucket can easily slip out of its mount if you tilt the bucket slightly while walking to empty the bucket full of water. Another item to improve is to be able to direct exhaust airflow. If facing the front of the machine, the blower directs the air out of the vents on top of unit to the right which limits the position of where you can put the machine. Having adjustable directional exhaust vents would take care of that limitation.

Super quiet, does a really good job removing the humidty.

I had this Shinco SDZ1-120P dehumidifier for only 2 months before it failed. Like other customers have experienced, It would stop dehumidifying. In my case the compressor would be off but the fan was running constantly after it ended a defrost cycle. I would have to change the humidity reading to 5 points below the current humidity reading in order to get the unit working correctly again. The company was very responsive to my emails and refunded my purchase price within 24 hours. The company deserves a 5 star review for their quick service but the unit gets a 1 star because of premature failure. The unit arrived undamaged and was fairly quiet. I would not recommend buying this unit.

I shopped around for both new and used dehumidifiers and ultimately chose this one. The deciding factor for me was the Wi-Fi capability—since so many devices today come with an app, I figured, why not a dehumidifier? I’ve been using it for a while now, and it has already pulled two tankfuls of water from the air. There's been a noticeable drop in humidity; our gauge now shows levels consistently around 45-50%, compared to 55-60% before. So far, this unit is performing as expected and living up to its intended purpose. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re in the market for a dehumidifier. Hope this helps... Update 7/3: After using the unit for a few days, it became noticeably noisier than it initially was. While it still functioned properly, the noise level—even on the "Low" setting—was excessive and disruptive. Ultimately, we decided to return the item due to the noise it generated. The unit wasn't particularly quiet when we first received it, and we may explore quieter alternatives in the future if they are available.

So far, not so good. I’ve only had it for a little over a month, but the issue is no matter what my temperature inside the home or outside is fluctuating in the humidity rate from 36th to 49 daily. And it puts out a lot of heat. I do have the drain hose connected and it does drain so that’s not part of an issue. I’m more concerned about the heat and the fluctuation from it because the room I have it in has my basement is separated in separate rooms, but technically all open to each other literally heat up that room, the one next to it and the rooms on the floor above it. As soon as I can find a better one this is going straight back.

I am in awe of how excellent this dehumidifier is. It replaced a Waykar and it works a ton better than waykar ever did. Buy this one, you will not be sorry. It is use din dog kennel and keeps up fantastic
