Heating & Air Conditioning Building a Home Basements

Best Dehumidifier

7 years ago

Built a home last year and the builder purchased two Hisense 70 dehumidifiers. Less than a year later, both dehumidifiers have stopped working. Apparently, a common problem. Rather than go through a warranty cycle every year was hoping someone had a recommendation on a dehumidifier that would actually last. Thanks!

I have a Royal Sovereign 250 that's been going strong for over 25 years.

I've had the same poor experience with the Hi-Sense dehumidifiers. LG make a pretty reliable one but the version with the built in pump is not available (despite it being advertise online at Lowes, etc).

I had a 30 year old Sears dehumidifier that I foolishly got rid of because the bucket switch was bad! Otherwise, it was great.
