TOSOT 50 Pint with Internal Pump 4,500 Sq Ft Dehumidifier Energy Star - for Home, Basement, Bedroom or Bathroom - Super Quiet (Previous 70 Pint)

I had originally purchased another model dehumidifier, a smaller and more entry-level option, but I found that it didn't quite meet my needs.I have a small house at right around 1,300 square feet that tends to run incredibly humid and found myself experiencing more moisture than usual. So, it was time for another dehumidifier. I ordered the TOSOT only a couple of days before I had a small water pipe burst that caused even more moisture.The TOSOT is designed to dehumidify effectively up to 1,500 square feet and 30 pints per 24 hours. It's Energy Star qualified and advertised as a quiet model. It has a feature that allows for continuous drain, though you have to buy the hose separately - I did not do that. The bucket is removable and can be manually drained. The dehumidifier stops automatically when full.After 250 hours of continuous usage, the air filter will signal a need to be cleaned. Once you clean and re-install it, the signal goes away.I'll be honest and say I'm close to giving it a 4-star rating as I think it mildly underperforms in terms of actual capacity. However, I'm opting to go ahead and stick with a 5-star review because I think in virtually every other way this is a solid mid-range workhorse that does almost everything else it's supposed to do.The dehumidifier is, indeed, very quiet. I used it in two different places in my home. When I had it in my hallway, I couldn't hear it at all in the front of my house. It's certainly not disruptive in any way.It is Energy Star qualified and functions as promised. Almost exactly after 250 hours of continuous use, you get the signal it's time to clean the air filter.The TOSOT was easy to get operational even for someone who's not exactly technically minded. I also had an easy time removing both the bucket and the air filter. If you have fine motor skill issues, you might have some difficulty with the air filter because of the angle required to remove and replace it.While I think the capacity promised is a bit higher than performance level, the TOSOT is still impressive and easily operated for my continuous need and performed quite nicely.My recommendation would be that given its size it works best as a floor model, though it might work on a sturdy shelf. Because it's more mid-size, it doesn't necessarily blend in with decor. However, I found it worked fine in my hallway and at one point in the corner of a room.Overall, I'm quite happy with the purchase and would easily buy the make and model again. I probably needed a little bit more capacity than this model, but for moderate humidity issues this model definitely performs well, is durable, and delivers as advertised.

VolumeI've had this for today months. It's energy efficient and quiet on medium and low settings. On high it's about as loud as my AC on low. At about 3 feet away it measures at 63-67db. It's really not much different than the sound of a good quality fan in my observation.PerformanceIt's 90% humidity outside at 71F today at sea level. The unit has my bedroom at 35% after about 3 hours of continuous use today. My bedroom is 12'x18'. Typically I have it running 24/7. At this temperature and humidity level I would have to empty the tank once per day. I would suggest emptying thre tank before you sleep so as not to be woken by the full alarm which is high pitched and loud.Notes.The water tank has a fold down handle attached inside of the tank. It seems sturdy enough for occasional use but with regular use I would suggest using the handle only to carry the water tank to wherever you decide to dump the water and not hold onto the handle while you're dumping the water. The joints that connect the handle to the tank cover don't look like they could handle the torque forced on them for long --so hold the tank by the bottom and sides if it's full.I only use this in the bedroom and it works to my satisfaction. I'm sure it would be adequate for an entire 800 sqf apartment in less humid locations (or higher altitude). However, if you live near the water or on an island you might have to get multiple units or a larger one if you're looking to get to 20% humidity. So far I've only been able to get to 20% when the humidity level outside was at about 50% which is rare for NYC summers. I'll keep you apprised of any updates.On the highest fan setting it DOES put out warm-hot air but if you lower the fan setting, that brings exhausted air down to cooler than room temperature.I hope this review is helpful.Cheers!

Good on time delivery and good product.The 20 litre container is easier to handle than heavier 35 + 50 litre containers.

EXCELENTE PRODUCTO DE LO MEJOR QUE HE COMPRADO EN AMAZON, SU COSTO ES UN POCO ALTO PERO REALIZA UN BUEN TRABAJO DE CONTROLAR LA HUMEDAD

This machine is very quiet - doesn't bother me at all. On low, it's barely audible. On high, it's akin to having a white noise machine in the background....you can hear it but it's not disruptive and if you shut the door, you'll have your piece and quiet again. The tank is great and it doesn't need emptying very frequently - maybe 2-3 x times a day if you run it 24/7 which I did for the first few days. The higher the fan level, the smaller the interval between emptying the tank bucket but even running at high, it takes a good 6 hours at least. The auto-shut function works well. I'm not sure yet about the energy efficiency - I'll have to see my first hydro bill to know but so far I'm very satisfied with this product!

Excellent product. So much moisture in my home and it’s the 3rd dehumidifier we’ve had. It works so well we don’t have any Moisture on our windows.

Es excelente, me ha servido muchísimo. El ruido es tolerable, suena como un refrigerador, algo así. Demasiado eficiente.
