Black & Decker 1500 Sq. Ft. Dehumidifier for Medium to Large Spaces and Basements, Energy Star Certified, BD22MWSA, White

Measured but looks bigger than I thought it would. Works great though! Very efficient at removing excess moisture from the basement apartment. It has a nice appearance, not ugly to look at, it’s easy to move around because of the wheels. It’s easy to empty, even when it’s full it’s not heavy. And it’s not that loud, even in a quiet room.

It's so quiet. I love that. Really took the moisture out of my basement. I love that I was able to hook up a hose for continuous draining. I did buy a 10 foot hose which works so much better. Easy to move from place to place.

I live in an apartment where they put AC units in the wall of each apartment and the condenser outside. The units, at least mine, tend to get very humid. My "energy bill" is built into my rent and is a flat fee, so in Texas, you know I set my AC to 65 all day long..in the summer, it never gets that low, but it will reach 67 in the middle of the night/early morning.I bought a thermometer/hygrometer, and it was showing 70%+ in my bedroom. It made the 70 degrees I could get the temperature down to in the early evening feel so much hotter. It always felt so sticky, so I ordered this for the bedroom. My entire apartment is, I believe, around 800 sqft and the bedroom is decent sized. I am seeing that this holds 8 pints (3.79 liters), and it gets full approx every 3 hours, and it will often need to be emptied every 3 hrs 24 hrs a day. That means this thing is pulling 24+ liters of moisture out of the air in my bedroom every day? That seems insane that the air could even hold that much water, but I am emptying it like clockwork, and this thing is pretty great.I wish it was bigger, but it fits nicely next to my bed, is not very noisy- it sounds maybe like a floor fan on medium speed...it rolls around very nicely and easily, and it's super easy and intuitive to pull out the tank to dump it. The handle on the tank feels sturdy, not too heavy to carry to the tub to empty, is built in such a way that I can turn it almost totally over so it will quickly empty, and it's never splattered all around or went anywhere but the tub.The buttons on the top are super NOT intuitive. I have no idea who designed the buttons, but they are ridiculous and make little logical sense. I had to actually read the manual to figure out what the heck the buttons meant, because they are actually rather comical. The buttons on mine do not match the more logical buttons on the product pictures. Anyhow, it does not matter ultimately, as I have it set at 45% humidity and have the buttons set and never touch them. The filter comes out easily, very simple to clean. That area is easy to clean on the unit itself. It's very low profile which I like...it does not take up much space and is somewhat hidden next to my bed.You have to take off the tank that holds the water before you use it, which I did not realize, because the hose it comes with is in there and an adapter if I remember correctly. I do not use the hose as I have nowhere to run it/dump it in my apartment.Anyhow, it's been a god-send, and I run it 24 hours a day for a month now, no issues- it's not silent, but I can deal w the noise for the reduction in humidity. I am finding I can get it down from 70%+ to around 49% at the lowest so far. That's a nice reduction that makes it feel not at all sticky in my bedroom now. I will often close my bedroom door to make sure the humidity is down in there, as I also run a portable AC 24 hrs a day in my living room area. This has worked wonders so far.

Great product, competitively priced. Performed exactly as advertised. We have a 1225 sq ft home and this dehumidifier immediately and consistently held the humidity at 45%. Reservoir was easy to empty.

Do you miss the days of programming a VCR? do you long for NASA style user interface with incomprehensible symbols? then do I have the dehumidifier for you!It works fantastically. Had it about 2 weeks and it's removed 5 gallons of water from my bathroom (yes the flooring is ugly) and master bedroom.It's loud in turbo mode and doesn't dry the room out any faster, it just blows a bit harder. The buttons and single false button really show how crappy a user interface can be. The symbols are like trying to ready hieroglyphics. The button with the head and the leaf is a "comfort mode" that does literally nothing. The button with the water droplet turns off the "tank full" sensor so it will drain out the hose that is provided. It's a nice feature, but this model does not have a pump so unless the hose is over a floor drain, it's not very helpful and will mindlessly flood the room.
