Gets the job done without exceeding expectations
Posted by Arthur Todd on Nov 22nd 2024
It gets the job done, but Whirlpool and the contracted manufacturer (XLS Products) clearly made quality cuts to reduce costs. I was disappointed to learn that this unit does not have a powerful enough pump to expel water up even a small elevation (less than 12 inches above the out port). If you intend to use the continuous drain, a ground level drain, or large enough platform to elevate the unit above the drain, is absolutely necessary. Otherwise, the unit will not expel water. That said, the bucket is easy enough to drain manually and is large capacity. The advertised 4500 sqft. efficiency also seems accurate. I'm using this to dehumidify my whole 2 story house, and, at the moment, I only need to drain the bucket twice per day. It gets the job done! Some other quality concerns follow: - The bucket handle is very flimsy. I fear it could break in the future. - The unit can be as loud as a window air conditioner. It seems to lack any sort of sound dampening measures. Just some soft rubber plugs/pads where the bucket contacts the main body of the unit would help eliminate vibration noise. - The unit lacks a meter or bucket window (the dark square in the images is not a window) to monitor water contents. There is only a red light and an alarm when the bucket is full.

Terrible experience and wasted money
Posted by Scott Rowland on Nov 21st 2024
The dehumidifier stopped working with less than a year of use. Precisely 9 months after purchase. While the dehumidifier is under warranty you can expect no help from Best Buy or from the manufacturer. I have wasted countless hours on the phone and via email with them trying to troubleshoot the issue but they ask for pictures every time you do a step which becomes very tiresome. At this point I have a $300+ paperweight. Buyer beware. Also, really disappointed in Best Buy for not helping out in this particular situation when the manufacturer is clearly trying to get away with not replacing or refunding.

Packs a lot of punch for its price!
Posted by Jorge Mora on Oct 18th 2024
This unit is amazing. When I first plugged it in, it was clearing 7 gallons a day, but now it's down to about 3 per day and it keeps my place at around 30-35% humidity (down from 70-80%!!!). I love that it can completely dehumidify a 1200 square foot apartment with ease. It does have a stop valve which turns the machine off when completely full, so you don't have to worry about it leaking. My #1 complaint is it is noisier than I'd hoped. The constant hum is slightly louder than a typical window box air conditioner. On a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is quiet and 10 is loud, this is probably a 7.5. I position it in the hallway adjacent to my bedroom, bathroom, office and living room, and by doing that, I can sleep at night or work in my office during the day. I think it would be too loud if it was in the same room. I think that, over time, the handle on the bucket may wear out, since it's just plastic. Right now, however, this was exactly what I needed to mitigate a difficult situation (I'm in the process of moving out of a damp and moldy apartment). I hope to move within a month's time, but I would consider buying another Whirlpool in the future without hesitation. I'm going to do some research and see if there are any quieter models on the market.
