After buying a dehumidifier, it's difficult to write a review right away. The key factor is its longevity, as it should last for several years. The last two I've had stopped working due to a broken thermostat or something similar, which could have been easily prevented with a better quality part. However, this new dehumidifier is working well so far. It has a comfort setting to automatically control the humidity based on the temperature and cycles on and off as needed. I have two minor criticisms, the first being that the container for emptying the water seems small and the second being that the connection for the hose is too close to the dehumidifier body, causing water condensation and dripping. Overall, we are happy with it and hope it lasts longer than our previous ones. Only time will tell.

I'm still trying to figure out how to give a 1/2 star, so it really should be 4.5 stars. I bought the Impecca dehumidifier to replace my old one, which had a failed compressor and was causing high humidity in my basement. This dehumidifier works very well, quickly evaporating water, and even the turbo fan option isn't too loud. I have it draining into a small pump, which emptied many times in the first few hours of use. I also appreciate the energy star rating and look forward to seeing the decrease in electricity usage. The only drawback is that the air intake is in the back, making it awkward to place near a wall in a basement. I solved this by turning the unit around, though it does make the control panel upside down. Overall, I'm pleased with its performance.

We purchased this for our basement in New Hampshire, where humidity can be an issue. After just a few hours, we noticed a significant improvement. The only downside is that I mistakenly thought it held 9 gallons, when in fact it only holds about 1.5 gallons and needs to be emptied frequently. Despite this, the unit shuts off when full, which is a great feature. I plan to eventually connect it to a drain system to avoid constant emptying. It is also extremely quiet, which I love. Overall, I am very pleased with the unit.

This product deserves a lengthy Amazon review, as it has exceeded my expectations. After moving into a house with a dehumidifier that couldn't keep up with the humidity level in the basement, I decided to purchase this one. Within 10 hours, it filled the bucket and dropped the humidity from 85% to 46%. I also moved the old dehumidifier to a different room in the basement with a water leak, and it barely collected any water in the same amount of time.

Although this dehumidifier is a little loud, it is not much worse than our old one and may even be quieter. The sound of water dripping into the bucket is a small price to pay for a dry and comfortable basement.

I bought a larger unit than necessary, but it is working effectively in my 800 sq ft finished basement. I appreciate that it has a removable and cleanable filter, unlike our old unit. I plan to buy another one for my unfinished basement room in the future, despite the high cost. However, I wish it came with a drain tube as stated in the manual. If this dehumidifier does not last for several years, I will be disappointed, as I did not opt for the additional warranty plan. Overall, I hope that this dehumidifier continues to work effectively as it has in the first 10 hours.

We recently finished our basement in a 1938 home and noticed that it was consistently cool during the summer. While this may seem like a good thing, higher humidity levels can lead to mold growth, which is a concern for us. Despite having waterproofing in place, we suspected that moisture was still seeping through the concrete floor. To confirm our suspicions, we purchased a hygrometer and a mold test, and found that the humidity levels were consistently around 65-67%. To address this issue, we decided to purchase the 70 pint Impecca dehumidifier, as our basement is approximately 1,000 sq ft. Since setting it up, the dehumidifier has been able to maintain the humidity level at 55% and has significantly reduced the humidity to the low 50's. It runs intermittently and is not overly loud. We have it draining to our sump pump, so we can't measure the exact amount of water it removes, but we have noticed a considerable difference in the humidity levels. Additionally, we appreciate the sleek design and maneuverability of the unit. We may update our review after monitoring its energy consumption, but overall, we are satisfied with its performance in keeping our basement dry and mold-free.

This machine is very effective at removing moisture, and we use it constantly since we live in the south. Here are a few helpful tips: 1. Because it doesn't have a pump, we have to place it on top of our vanity in the bathroom to allow the water to drain using gravity through a hose. If it's not high enough, we have to empty the bucket frequently. 2. The recommended hose connector didn't work, but we were able to find the correct 3-foot hose at our local hardware store. Also, the customer service at Impecca was very responsive when I reached out for help.

Grear dehumidifier! Our home is a split level with just under 2200 square feet and we've been using it for 3 days. The initial start up has made a huge difference, getting rid of the musty damp smell in the basement. The fan is a little loud and can be heard upstairs from the hallway downstairs where it's placed. I find the water container design tricky to deal with, especially when trying to put it back in when it's full. The reservoir gets very close to the top when full, making it difficult to maneuver. However, the handle is convenient for carrying the reservoir to the sink.

After using this dehumidifier for 3 days in a fairly humid basement, I've found that it removes water quickly and is relatively quiet compared to cheaper models I've used in the past. I haven't connected it to a hose for drainage, so I've been emptying the buckets. While removing the bucket isn't a big issue, it's important to note that it won't stand on its own like other models I've had. Inserting the empty bucket back in takes some getting used to due to the guide rails along the bottom, so it's best to go slow. Overall, I am satisfied with the dehumidifier, although I deducted a star due to the bucket issue.
