80 Pints 5000 Sq. Ft 2025 Energy Star Dehumidifier for Basement | 90° Auto Swing, 30%–80% Humidity Control for home, Continuous drainage support, Whole-House Dehumidification, Auto-defrost

A dehumidifier has one job: remove water from the air. This one understands the assignment.It has been running in my 1,500-square-foot basement woodshop for the past nine months without complaint, drama, firmware updates, or a desire to connect to my phone. It quietly maintains a steady 50% relative humidity, which keeps my tools happy and my lumber from behaving like a politician's promises.In fact, I've even used it to dry lumber with nothing more than this unit and a fan. It worked. Because moving water out of wood is simply moving water out of the air with extra steps.My only complaint is surprisingly small. One of my old dehumidifiers had a little floating ball in the collection bucket that made it easy to tell how full it was at a glance. This one expects me to use my eyes and basic judgment like some sort of adult.Otherwise, it has been dependable, effective, and refreshingly boring. The highest compliment I can give a machine.

The WayKar 80 pint 5000 sq ft dehumidifier is just what we need to keep our basement dry during the rainy season. When we needed another dehumidifier in our home, we ordered a second one since we were pleased with the performance of the first one! It has all the essential features and runs quietly while decreasing the humidity to a normal level in our basement.The crowning point to this purchase was the excellent customer service! When we had an issue with one of these, they were quick to respond, their advice was reasonable, and they were quick to resolve the problem to our full satisfaction. This kind of customer service is rare these days and goes a long way in helping to decide on which product to purchase!

I’m dehumidifying my basement after water intrusion through my basement floor. Following a freak spring snow / rain storm northern Michigan style. Arrived quickly. It was a box inside a bigger box. The inside box said “this side up”. However hidden in a bigger box it arrived on its side. So I had to let it sit upright for a day to let the fluids settle. Glad I caught that need so as to not damage the unit. The price was good as an open package deal. Plugged it in fired it up seems to work well nice looking reasonably quiet unit. Not as big or heavy as my older unit. The drain hose for continuous operation is very chinsy but works. Seat it well and no leaks. A cheap short garden hose attachment would be a nice touch but I could do that cutting up an old hose. Only relative negative is the humidity readout. I’ve got a cheap hydrometer and my old dehumidifier both read low 50% range but this new unit is stuck about 65%. So don’t trust that reading until you pick up a cheap hydrometer ($10) to verify. Only fix for that is set your humidity target high to compensate. My actual target is 45% so I set the unit at 60% which should get me close. In my case if I didn’t do that and set the unit at a 45% target it would run a long time and be probably at 35% real humidity and that’s not what I want. So pay attention to your humidity setting and the readout versus what you really have. And have a box fan running to circulate your air. Good deal. UPDATE: unit seems to have fought hard to get down to 55% so I set the target to 50% see how it goes. My old 50 pint machine got down to 50% fairly easy. I have that and this new 120 pint machine running in opposing corners of my unfinished basement.

The GOOD and BadWe have been using this every day since we received it, which was probably within two weeks or so of purchase date in February 2025.For almost the entirety of having this unit we have had it placed in our 1/2 unfinished, daylight basement [lots of thermal mass which means moisture concern], with plenty of open vents to upstairs. The unit used to keep the lower level close to 30%, even registering 28% or so before shutting off briefly. The upstairs, which we keep an eye on with a couple different humidity readers, would be maybe mid 30's when the lower level would be at this point. High or low humidity levels outside never mattered—we have been quite comfortable, which is nice with humid spring and summer months.We have been quite happy with the unit until recently. More recently, perhaps the past few months, it only would register as low as high 30's downstairs, again, continuous running into a drain that is set for good gravity feed from the unit. It literally will now not shut off unless I do this—it used to automatically shut off on occasion for some time [27-28 relative humidity] until humidity rose. It would be close enough to ‘set it and forget it’ with only minimal observation for responsible ownership. A few weeks ago we would see largely low 40's downstairs. Then it went to 52%. Finally, it stopped collecting moisture at all. The gradual to sudden loss of moisture removal power spanned a short time with nothing I could figure as to external changes in its environment or care.The efficiency of this unit got to be quite bad. And the air filter has been kept clean continuously. We even have cleaned out the gunk from the outlet periodically with success. The latter is important, as we have found, for ANY dehumidifier in order to prevent leaks, which was never a problem, really, for this unit.The GOODOne of my excerpts from reaching out to Waykar:“We have not even had this unit for two years, and I do expect it to run optimally as it once did or at least close enough to it. The more recent declines are factoring in any sort of humidity externally. The unit has always kept our home much better than where we are now. Please help.”Waykar responded and some questions were asked, and information and pictures from yours truly provided. The questions asked made sense, and the information I provided resulted with the decision made to replace for free the unit we have heretofore been quite happy with overall. I am to send back, postage paid for by Waykar, the deemed defective product, which to me means quality control efforts are real, figuring out more certainly how an issue in production could have caused this. Regardless, standing by your product means a lot to me. Viability of the product is well near the only problem I have had with it, and this offer seals the deal to a good review.In short, we have used this dehumidifier to keep quite low humidity levels as a whole house solution, and it has worked very well. A daylight basement in periods of high humidity and heat requires something powerful. If you run into an issue outside of your control though, like me, you will likely have recourse. I am outside of the warranty period, yet the company and its representatives work hard to make sure I am pleased. I believe, though, if you register your product that it doubles or something, and so do what I did not: fill it out.No matter what you buy, things happen in manufacturing, shipping, etc., and so a manufacturer doing something like this means that they really wish to please. My one strong suggestion though is this: more companies should make easier access to some internals...on the last day of trying to make this right after reaching out to Waykar, I removed enough of the plastic molding to be able to vacuum out any dust and debris...and there was a good amount that got past the filter that we always kept cleaned. We are good with preventative maintenance on most things...those measures, though, do little to how some particles get into deep recesses of anything like this that moves air...I would suggest manufacturing easier removed molding pieces to conduct these deeper cleans. I don’t know that this has anything to do at all with the unit having failed, but it surely would not hurt.Also, placement of the unit and some other things DO AFFECT how well it works. For whatever it is worth, when opening windows and doors at night during certain seasons and conditions, one, from what I found in searching such matters, would be better off shutting of the dehumidifier due to allergens possibly being collected etc. These such things and more could be communicated by manufacturers as well as any retailers so that product could be better utilized. I always shut the unit off when filling our wood stove, for example. Learn to take care of what you own.

I've been using this Waykar dehumidifier in my finished basement (about 700 sq. ft.), and it has been working exceptionally well. It quickly reduces the humidity and keeps the basement feeling dry and comfortable. The unit is quiet, easy to operate, and the included drain hose makes continuous drainage very convenient. What impressed me even more was the customer service. They were incredibly responsive, professional, and genuinely cared about making sure I was satisfied. It's rare to find a company that stands behind its product with such excellent support. If you're looking for a reliable dehumidifier for a basement or large room, I highly recommend this one. Great product and outstanding customer service!

Great unit! Modern, clean design, lighted digital control panel, castor rollers for easy movement on bare floor or carpet. Also easy to empty and doesn't fill quickly. I bought to manage indoor humidity in southern Virginia. Noise level similar to ceiling or oscillating fan. Unit maintains desired temp on programmed or manual setting. The bonus was Waykar's direct customer service line. I called after hours on weekend and left message. Representative called me within 2 hrs and was extremely accommodating.

This dehumidifier pulls a surprising amount of moisture from the air in my basement, is easy to set up, and the continuous drain hose is a big convenience. It’s also quieter than I expected and has helped make the space feel much more comfortable. Very happy with this purchase.

The unit is small and quiet, making it perfect for the family! It doesn't draw attention to itself, just does its job and looks good. The settings are basic, but they are exactly what I wanted.. nothing too complicated, nothing that requires a ton of thought. Just turn it on and go! I did have some trouble with the product, but customer service was quick to respond and fix the issue. I would absolutely recommend this brand to anyone looking for a dehumidifier for their home.

From the first day its not working and super loudThe company produces a broken devices

Excelente calidad precio la vdd muy buen producto

O aparelho chegou com avaria, porém recebi o contato da empresa fabricante do aparelho, querendo saber a respeito. E resolveram a situação pra mim. Estou impressionada, pois não é algo que seja praticado no Brasil, realmente a empresa Waykar sabe fazer pós venda. Obrigada.

Produto realmente tira umidade do ar, mas está vazando na parte de baixo. Toda vez tenho que secar o chão ou deixar ele em cima de uma toalha.O medidor de humidade funciona, mas não serve pra controlar o aparelho a manter uma umidade escolhida. Toda vez que aparelho chega na umidade desejada, ele desliga e medidoe de umidade dispara pra cima... e aparelho, logo em seguida, volta a ligar. Parece que ele mede umidade do interior dele e não do ambiente, medindo a umidade do fluxo que ele gera.
