Waykar 5000 Sq. Ft Home Dehumidifier with Drain Hose for Basements, Large & Medium Sized Rooms, and Bathrooms with Intelligent Touch Control and 4 Air Outlets, 24 Hr Timer, and 1.19 Gallon Water Tank

This dehumidifier has completely changed my life around. It has been extremely easy to use and has become such a simple part of our routine that it's difficult to live life without it. With a lot of humidity always in our house, it's a power sucker to have the AC constantly turned down to keep us from sweating, and cost us more than we would like, so I decided for one summer to buy this dehumidifier and give it a shot. Within just a few hours I could tell such a massive different in the air quality that we were able to turn our AC OFF with no issue whatsoever. Our power bill dropped sharply and we even sleep loads better thanks to it helping with the moisture in the air. My partner has a hard time sleeping in very moist climates as it causes him to get sick, so he was extremely happy to get a good nights rest for the first time in his life lol. It's a little noisy on the fast setting but on slow you barely notice it and works just as effectively. It sounds and almost feels like a normal fan from the air coming out of the sides. It's also very easy to push around, even on carpeted floors. You never have to pick it up.Unfortunately after a year and a half our lovely new member of the family broke when the coolant pipe ruptured, and after a week of testing to see if we could fix it, was no longer operational. So, I reached out to their customer service to see if there was any way we could troubleshoot it from their side and if there was any possibility we could get a new one sent to us, as I wasn't sure if our warranty was still effective. They are easily one of the BEST customer support teams I have ever had the pleasure of speaking with. Sadie was extremely helpful in helping troubleshoot the issue to see if there was anything we could do, and even with the warranty being expired was willing to help send a brand new one so we could continue using their products. I couldn't be anymore grateful with the way that they handled this situation for me and my partner, and will definitely be looking forward to buying more of their products in the future if I need another one, or even a bigger one! Thank you guys so much!!!

Ft Home Dehumidifier is a reliable and effective solution for managing humidity in large spaces. Highly recommended!

This dehumidifier was used in our basement and worked flawlessly for a year and a half. A few weeks ago the unit froze up and the humidity reading was way below the ambient range. After consulting the manual and allowing the unit to defrost, it never returned to working order upon plugging in.I consulted the online customer service for Waykar and received a prompt response for suggestions to correct the problem. Unfortunately, the unit was determined to be defective and even out of warranty Waykar has offered to replace or upgrade my defective unit.The dehumidifier was good looking and functioned perfectly. It worked fine until it didn’t but the five star rating is for the company itself that stands behind it’s product. Buy with confidence knowing that Waykar will support it’s customers.

I installed this in a 4,200 square foot house built in 2006 (doors always opening and closing btw) during the start of very high humidity in Tennessee during the summer where reaching 97% humidity at very high dew points, resulting in incredibly muggy weather. I was seeking to mitigate indoor humidity with a target range of 37 to 45% EVEN when the outdoor humidity was in excess of 90% and dew points in excess of 70%. I measure the humidity in the house using 5 different indoor sensors at various locations on two floors with an additional sensor in the garage. All sensors test plus or minus 2% within each other. Previously, I was encountering 50 to 57% indoor humidity following installation of high end Trane units at a cost of about $21 k (two large variable speed split units on Ecobee thermostats). My 17 year old units that were replaced typically yielded indoor humidity in excess of 60% during high humid months in Tennessee. While the new AC units definitely helped reduce humidity. However, the units achieve temperature set points well ahead of humidity set points, even using the Ecobee thermostats humidity control, which allows for overcooling to either 1) a max temperature differentia, or 2) the humidity set point- whichever comes first, I wanted a lower target number. Keep in mind, this was with variable speed blowers (the longer the unit runs obviously, the lower you can get the humidity).At the start of this experiment, with the new AC units, indoor humidity was constantly a median of 50% or above, depending on weather. In the furthest part of our house above the garage, the humidity often measured 60 to 65% even with the new units. This typically resulted in complaints that the room (666 square foot bonus room) was "hot". We always had issues with this room and comfort levels. At first, I installed the dehumidifier downstairs near a main AC return. Humidity levels dropped throughout the house, more so downstairs than upstairs. At first, I was pulling 3 to 3.5 gallons of water a day out of the air within a 24 hr period (constant running). However, I then discovered humidity rises, which I did not realize ironically. I moved the unit upstairs, just outside of the bonus room, underneath the main AC return, running the unit 24 hours a day. At first I pulled 3 to 4 gallons of water out of the air within a 24 hr period (constantly running). This amount began to diminish gradually over a 45 day period to about 1.5 gallons within a 24 hour period. All complaints regarding comfort in the bonus room ended and I can now set my cooling set points to 76 degrees throughout the house rather than 72 degrees that everyone demanded before. Humidity of course has a direct correlation to comfort. We also noticed the downstairs humidity improved as well, especially with the dehumidifier upstairs. During an installation followup appointment with my AC company, the installer explained that the amount of water I pulled at first was likely pulling existing humidity from the walls, carpet, furniture, etc...... and that the amount I am now pulling is likely the amount entering the house on a regular basis and is now achieving the baseline of 38 to 39%. There is a definite noticeable difference in all the items and carpet in the bonus room.So, the unit has been running over 45 days non stop with no issues at all. The entire house rarely now exceeds 41% regardless of weather. Th one exception is when people take showers upstairs. I notice a temporary spike in humidity levels to around 45% on the sensor closest to the bathroom. My girls will often take 30 minute showers without turning on the bathroom fan :-). The only minor annoyance I have is the design of the water tank and cap. It could be improved as it seems to spill out when dumping the water. But not a serious issue.I provided this in depth review because I spent a few months researching how best to control seasonal humidity issues and thought I would try to save some folks the time.

We bought this unit in September, 2023 and it has been VERY effective in reducing the humidity as well as quiet. Recently, we had a quality control issue with the dehumidifier, and the excellent customer care team has offered to replace the unit with an upgrade and VERY HELPFUL service. That's a better outcome than with any dehumidifier company that you deal with these days. Most of them break down two days after the warranty expires and you're back on Amazon trying to find an alternative. We will continue to buy Waykar dehumdifiers. LHE
