2000 Sq. Ft Dehumidifier for Large Room and Basements, HUMILABS 30 Pints Dehumidifiers with Auto or Manual Drainage, 0.528 Gallon Water Tank with Drain Hose, Intelligent Humidity Control,Auto Defrost

I bought this for several reasons but a big one is seeing all the uk based good reviews. I’ve just received mine but didn’t expect the non uk style plug and that it’s 115v? What do I do? Send it back..,? Spend more money on a step down transformer? Looks as though it’ll cost me over £100 to buy one of those 😩 Any advice would be great

Won’t work without a transformer has an American plug on no indication inadvert I’ve either been sent the wrong one or totally scammed

I did not expect this dehumidifier to be anywhere near as powerful as it is! It manages to noticeably reduce the humidity in our 2000 square feet home. It feels much less humid inside, clothes dry MUCH faster, and the humidity sensor in our air conditioning unit shows that the humidity dropped from 65% to 55% (that's the level we have the dehumidifier set to). Automatic shutoff works very reliably, we haven't had a single issue with it. It's reasonably quiet, and it's surprisingly small - doesn't get in the way at all, it's just sitting in the corner somewhere. The only downside, if any, is that it pulls so much moisture out of the air that you have to empty the tank about once a day. But that's a small price to pay, and if we had a floor drain available it would be no issue at all.

Bought this based on all of the good reviews. Honestly, it did not pick up a single drop of water. It detected the changes in the humidity but never actually worked. Returning it. I'm guessing I got a dud or something. Update 04/26: Weirdly enough right after this review, it started working. It works okay, but it takes forever.

This was my first experience with a dehumidifier. I have a mother in law suite attached to my garage. This unit is approximately 1000 sq ft, and has a window unit. The space was seldom used, so the window unit was rarely turned on. I live in south Mississippi, and our humidity levels are extremely high right now. Unfortunately, I noticed active mold growing on a few pieces of the furniture that was stored in the suite. After researching, this size dehumidifier was recommended, even though the suite is 1000 sq ft, because of the active mold found. It was very easy to connect, and I have been using the automatic setting. I empty out the water tank 1x daily (will eventually have it drain into the sink). It doesn’t take up much space, and it is quiet. I’m very pleased, and would recommend this product.

For the people that have had / will have failures with these, a quick tip. The delivery guy delivered both of my units upside down despite the first not being over packaged and clearly having “the side up” arrows. I would imagine most of the failures with these are due to units being similarly delivered, flipped over and immediately plugged in and run, which is death on a sealed refrigerant system, either immediately or in relatively short order. If the unit is delivered upside down, you wanna be sure to stand it up right for at least three or four hours, or ideally overnight before starting. And so first off, these are amazing little dehumidifiers. LITTLE (in water capacity, but not function) being the operative word. These little suckers will easily take out 25 to 30 pints of water per day. They are whisper quiet, even on the higher fan setting. The compressor noise is quite acceptable, you can easily sleep with one in the room. The unfortunate problem as mentioned in many reviews is the 5 pint size of the water reservoir. Indeed, in a large humid room, I have measured 28 pints removed in a day, which means six reservoir drains over the course of the day. The little included drainage hose is great. If you have a floor drain, you will absolutely not care about the reservoir capacity. However, if you don’t have a floor drain it is incredibly frustrating. But otherwise, as far as functionality and capacity for water removal for the physical size of the unit and price, you just can’t beat this thing. Where in lies my question if I got scammed. I ordered my first unit a few weeks before Prime day as an “early sale” and it was advertised as a 1500 foot room, 22 pints per day unit, on sale for $99. Aside for the capacity of the water tank I was incredibly happy with it, ended up putting it in my garage with the drain hose snaked out under the corner of the garage door. This amazing little unit will bring the 4 car garage down from 89% humidity well into the 60s over 48 or so hours with absolutely no effort. Being so impressed but frustrated about the reservoir capacity, during Prime day I ordered the 2000 foot 30 pint per day unit, on a better sale versus its original stated price again costing $99. Imagine my surprise when I received the exact same unit, same model numbers, exact same. When I had ordered the webpage still showed both options pictured and you could toggle between items/prices. However, now when I go back to my orders , although the listed descriptions on my order list are different, they both go to the exact same active page which no longer matches the order description from the original unit. I kind of think if there were originally two different sizes, I probably have ended up with two of the smaller, and likely despite the description that is what is currently being sold though the unit certainly meets the specifications stated as it would easily take out 30 pints a day, and indeed has a .528 gallon reservoir. In the end, since I’m still so impressed by these little guys, and since it was the same $99 either way I kept them both but sure would like a larger reservoir for the one I’m running in my kitchen.

WORKS! Third time buying one and it really removes moisture. This one is in a basement apartment and makes things actually dry, whereas the kitchen sponge took 2 days to dry out before. Towels now dry. My clothes feel better and not wet when I get dressed.
