Continous Drain Does Not Work As Advertised
I putchased this unit as it was specified as having three features I wanted in a basement unattended dehumidifier a) auto restart on power failure b) continous gravity drain and c) automatic defrost. When I received the unit and hooked up the continous drain hose the unit continued to fill up its bucket and auto stop when the bucket filled up. I checked several times to make sure I had hooked up the auto drain as per istructions which were very straight forward. Finally convinced I had hooked up the hose correctly I called Danby customer care in Toronto. Got through to them very quickly. The person I spoke with explained that, yes, this model was having " manufacturing problems" and many units were not auto draining, but they were working on a "fix". He offered to take my name and mail me the fix as soon as it was out. When I asked him how long the fix has been worked on and when it would be available , he responded " for several months" and " any week now". Well not willing...

Lasted one summer and is Noisy
Warning. I purchased a Danby dehumidifier after excellent consumer report reviews and research. It worked GREAT for one summer. But by fall I noticed this thing wasn't working as good. I saw less water being drawn out. I thought it was because temperatures were dropping in Chicago, so I packed it up for the winter. Well spring comes and it didn't work at all. I called Danby and they stated to send it to a local shop. I searched for days to find a shop. Most companies stated it just takes too long to get parts from Danby and they stopped doing repairs. After calling Danby again, I found a shop in North Chicago area, I live in the south suburbs. So I packed this heavy piece of machinery, yes it weighs about 80 pounds, in my CUV and fought traffic on the Dan Ryan. Got a call back a few days later stating the warranty wasn't valid and it would cost around $150 to repair. Luckily the owner was legit and stated that these things never last long. He gets many complaints and he...

Danby is a QUALITY product
I spent a lot of time doing research about dehumidifiers online, and also reading articles about many brands.I ultimately settled on this Danby 70 pint unit, and that was most certainly the right decision.I have a 2400 sq ft Cape Cod style home with a full basement.Although we live higher up on a hillside, there are some minor hydraulic water problems in the soil immediately surrounding the concrete foundation.When there is a considerable amount of rain, we occasionally get small damp spots, or in the case of a rainstorm, puddles coming up from the floor, as well as a musty odor.My old, heavy dehumidifier worked well enough, but was somewhat costly to run from an energy standpoint.This unit was well thought out, extremely well designed, works perfectly, is fairly quiet (my old unit sounded like a B737 at takeoff) and has the best overall reputation.This unit is light enough to maneuver around, and has a handy see through tank level indicator...

Very well constructed, fairly quiet
I purchased this dehumidifier and went for the premium price tag because I needed a unit that would pump and drain the bucket automatically (secondary residence, not there to empty bucket). It arrived mid-June, we set it up the following week and left, only to return the following weekend and find the "bucket full" light illuminated. At this point, I contacted Winix in an effort to troubleshoot and hopefully fix the problem. After a few rounds and emails, Winix offered to have the unit picked up and tested in their facilities and sent a replacement for us to use in the meantime. The replacement pumped, but only sporadically at best. The pump would activate and drain three times, then not work at all. One week we'd find the bucket drained, the next, the light would be on. In between we literally had to suck on the end of the drain hose to prime the pump, after which it would start. After two months of back and forth with Winix (very customer friendly, high marks for customer...

auto pump feature does not work
Got this to replace an existing dehumidifier in my basement. I chose this model because:1. It has a built-in pump that empties into a sink (I do not have a drain on the floor)2. Hi capacity per dayI cannot tell you how wonderful it is not to have to manually empty the bucket! And more importantly, it does not fill up and then turn itself off like my old unit did.The unit does have some limitations:1. Price is a bit higher, but I am willing to pay more for quality and suggest you do the same2. The fan does seem to stay on and on and on and on... and it rarely shuts off, and even when it does, it is only for a short time.3. It is quite loud. Do not expect to sleep, read, eat, watch TV, or anything else near this unit. On hi or on low, it is loud. I have mine in the basement, and it does not matter to me how loud it is because I am not down there much. If I was down there it would be a big problem for me.The pros again:...
