70/90 Pint 4500/6000 Sq. Ft Dehumidifier with Continuous and Auto Mode

I needed to replace my Haier dehumidifier that is 14 years old as there was just no fixing it anymore. I did an extensive google search on the best dehumidifiers and this one came up on my search with good reviews. I will admit…something about the website made me feel like this may be a scam. I had never heard of Costway before. The advertisements seemed phony to me and there are times where you just flat out can’t trust the reviews you see. (Refer to DHGate to see what I mean.) I decided to give it a shot anyway as a retail $595 dehumidifier at a sale price of $209 was worth the shot. I’m so glad I took the chance. Our home was built in 1932 and we are in the rural mountains, so there’s dampness and water that gets in the basement. (Still another project to take on with this old house…) This dehumidifier was super simple to set up. I did it myself. It has been keeping my basement noticeably drier than my Haier. I have it set to auto at 45. It’s been getting it there and shutting itself off and staying off while the humidity level is maintained. My old unit ran 24/7. It even has its own defrost mode, which has been great since this was a problem with my old unit. We just had VERY heavy rain the past 2 days so our basement took on quite a bit of water. I went down and checked the basement yesterday. Humidifier was at 66% humidity with the water in the basement at about 8:30pm. I just checked it again and it’s now at 53-54%. With my old unit, this is almost unheard of and would take days to get there after a heavy rain. A lot of the spots on the floor that were covered in rain water are now dry. The unit is also SO quiet. I could not be happier with this machine. Highly recommend.

I have a very large basement and this is a must have. I love that it can pump the water out to my sink so I don’t have to dump the water out daily. It runs very smoothly like a fridge sound so it doesn’t bother me. It keeps my basement at a good 45% humidity.

I got this for my crawl space to keep the moist out and I like how easy it is with setting it up. Especially being able to attach the hose so the water drains out on its own vs having to dump the water out so frequently. I have a lot of stuff in my crawl space so in order to keep things in the best condition this was needed to work the magic. Also, this is perfect for a corner spot and doesn’t take up too much space and easy to maneuver.

Does its job well, my basement no longer feels humid and wet. It’s very quiet, so sometimes I forget it’s on and working. The plate where it collects water is very easy to remove and dump out the collected water. Very easy to install and overall great value for your money.

I like that the tank is on top so I don’t have to bend down and lift too much. It is a bit noisy but we are keeping it in the basement so that’s fine with us.
