BLACK+DECKER4500 Sq. Ft. Dehumidifier for Extra Large Spaces and Basements, Energy Star Certified, BDT50WTB,White

Works great and is quiet. Arrived ahead of time

This unit was purchased to replace a slightly smaller dehumidifier that only lasted a couple of years before refusing to respond to programming. The humidity level in our basement was at 80% with the former unit operating continuously. Got this unit set up and running quickly and in 36 hours the humidity level was at 50%. We have it emptying into our sump pump so we don't have to deal with emptying the bucket. Simple instructions for set-up were much appreciated. It is very much a "set it up and forget about it" operation. Even with the fan on high it isn't particularly loud and we will set it to low once the humidity level reaches 45%. For now, I am a VERY happy customer!

Pros: actually works. I’m emptying a full tank about every six hours. Definitely needs to convert to continuous draining.Cons: the intake is on the back, so you can’t put it up against a wall. They really need to redesign it.Also, I have it set to 50% but even dropping to 49% the unit never shuts off.The buttons on the control pad are not lit so it’s hard to read in a dimly lit room.Overall, I’m pleased with the performance.

I purchased this DeHumidifier in Nov 21 for $233+ and in less in 6 months it was malfunctioning. I noticed it was freezing up . I called Amazon customer service and they said it was no longer covered by Amazon and that I had to contact Black and Decker customer help line. I called Black and Decker and they instructed me to send it back to them for a replacement. I explained that I did not have the box... they basically said "too bad" that sending it back is the only way to get a replacement. I just had a neighbor help me load it in a car and take it down to UPS shipping where they packed it up . It cost me $24 for a basic shipping box and pack even after the mail label from Black and Decker was received. I am so unhappy with the way this is handled . Lesson Learned: I will be sure to NEVER purchase any product unless it is fully guaranteed by Amazon Prime customer service department for a full refund or replacement without costs to me. I wish I would have purchased the dehumidifier from Lowes or Home Depot. Now I am holding my breath to see if I get a replacement from B&D. AS OF DECEMBER 21, 2022 STILL NO REPLACEMENT AND DID NOT GET ANY REFUND FOR THE COST OF THE FAULTY DEHUMIDIFIER

This unit is very quiet and works as advertised. I would recommend this to anyone. We park our motor home while not using it and this unit does not need to be monitored daily when the drain hose is attached. The drain hose that is included however will need to be replaced with one you can purchase elsewhere as the included one is folded and the crimps do not let water flow through. We tried a dowel stick through it and laid in the sun for three days still came out crimped.

Like the quiet and performance

The good. It dehumifies well. Set the level and off it goes. Compressor running is not any louder than the fan itself. Inexpensive.The bad: fan runs near,ply al the time even if at target humidity and compressor is not running. Just blows around the room temp air at that point. It will occassionally shut off but can t find a button to make it stop when the compressor stops.Once in a while it just stops dehumidifying, fan runs but nothing happens even when i know it is damp, Unplugging for a few minutes usually fixes it.After a power outage, it starts in off mode, Not good if you are out of town.Not sure i would buy again for use at home, But for something industrial/commercial good enough

My place is about 900sq feet. I live in a wooded area and my place gets INSANELY humid in the summer, even with the AC on. Some days my indoor humidity climbs all the way to 90%. This works like a charm. When I first hooked it up, it got the humidity from 80% down to a comfortable 50% in the matter of a couple hours. Really easy to set up and not too heavy, I'm fairly small and did it on my own. I love that it has wheels so I don't have to lug it around my place. Definitely get this if you have a humidity issue. I'm sure it would work just as well for a place larger than mine because this thing packs a punch.
