Kesnos 4,500 Sq. Ft. Energy Star Dehumidifier for Home, 52 Pint Dehumidifier with Drain Hose for Basement, Bedroom, Bathroom, Room, Featuring Front Display, 24H Timer and Auto Defrost Function

Let me begin by saying I’m not being compensated or anything for this review. I live in Florida in an apartment with very poor air circulation and windows that don’t fully seal out the outside humidity so it’s very musty in here. Usually over 55% humidity and now in the summer over 65%.In my shower, I used to spend hours cleaning all the mold, only for it to come right back in 2 days - making me sneeze like crazy while taking a shower with my eyes burning. SO FRUSTRATING. My hair would even get frizzy INSIDE THE HOUSE. That’s when I decided it was time to invest in a dehumidifier and I’ve had it for around 9 months now.I just bought two other small dehumidifiers and they are so weak compared to this. Before today, I thought this one was just collecting so much water because it is so humid in here. Well, yes, it is, but it is mostly that this dehumidifier is also just very very effective.I set the timer for 2 hours after we shower, (super tiny room with just shower and toilet; ~25 sq ft) and it dries up my bathroom completely and the bucket will be 3/4ths full. I also run it in the living room/kitchen area as often as my lazy butt is willing to haul it there from the bathroom, and when I do, I have to empty out the tank 3x a day or more - and that’s only waking hours (not including night). Usually it’s already full again when nighttime comes so it’s pretty much always off at night. Whenever it’s been off all day, it is SUCH a noticeable difference in the air. The air feels thicker and carpet stickier. I didn’t appreciate how effective this dehumidifier is until I got the smaller ones today..wow!I read reviews before buying slightly smaller ones of another brand on Amazon, and people were impressed by having ~2 table spoons of water collected in 24 hours, I found it laughable compared to mine. But I considered that maybe their place just isn’t as humid as mine, so I bought them anyway. But nope, they turned out to just be super weak!!I can’t even remember the last time I had to get on my knees inhaling chemicals trying to eradicate the nasty mold in the shower. That’s the ultimate evidence that this is working (plus the buckets and buckets of water poured out.)The dryer tends to ruin my delicate (&cheap) clothes, so I’ve always liked to hang dry it. I didn’t even know you could use this for that until I received this and read it in the manual. I put my little rack inside the shower and put the dehumidifier in there with them and they’re bone dry in under 2 hours - and that’s for a full load of laundry.This is honestly such a great investment. And this one is so reasonably priced compared to the others on Amazon of the same capacity. I’m pretty proud of myself for choosing this one.As for noise level, the low modes are pretty quiet. But my belief is that if it ain’t fanning, it ain’t working! So I only use it on high. I have cats and it also is pretty dusty in here from such poor air circulation, so dust has gotten into the spinning fan inside and I think that’s made it get a little louder lately. It’s not annoying, just blends into the background. But just during the day it’s nbd. It’s just inevitable for a large fan inside. The machine itself doesn’t make any noise, but you hear some air blowing/the fan spinning. Also, the air it blows out does make the room a bit warmer in small spaces, but again, I think that’s an inevitable but fair trade-off for a decent capacity dehumidifier.I hope somebody finds this helpful!

Works brilliantly. We live in Miami Florida so it is very humid and muggy here. We dump out the water in this thing about 3-4 times a day! It has wheels which makes it super convenient and comfortable if you need to move it from place to place or to get it out of the way if you’re cleaning. The lower levels are extremely quiet. The high level isn’t loud but it’s not quiet. We always have it on high and it doesn’t bother us one bit. I love the sleek design and I believe it’s the most reasonably priced one on here. So happy I found and choose this one! Don’t think about if too much. Get it! You’ll thank me later ❤️

Product worked great for the first two weeks then stopped working. The dehumidifier would work periodically and most of the time the humidity reading always read 25% on the display but was not removing water from the air even though the actual humidity was 50 to 60% I contacted Customer service multiple times on the website and through email with not one response. There is no service number to call. Warranty might be great but you cannot use it.Update one month later: I messed around with the dehumidifier by unplugging it for 24 hours at a time whenever it stopped working which fixed it. It has been working flawlessly for about the last 3 weeks. It's sleek and powerful with not too much noise. Brings down the humidity quickly in a 1,300 sq ft area. I recently received an email and a text message from customer service regarding my return and I told them "No". They claimed to have emailed a response to me soon after my initial inquiry regarding the return but the email they copied and sent me as proof was a form email with no time stamp or delivery information. I believe they dropped the ball on this but now they want to make it good. I love the product and I was relieved to actually get a customer service response so I'm upgrading from 2 to 4 stars.

This is definitely a premier dehumidifier for smaller spaces. Been using it for about 5 months, and have had no problems or malfunctions at all.First off, mobility. It is very light and easy to pickup with the built-in handles. Once in the chosen destination, it can be pushed and spun around with ease since it has rotatable wheels.Second, noise. It is definitely quieter than my previous, larger dehumidifier, but it's not completely silent and you shouldn't expect it to be. If it sits in your basement near a room with a furnace or central air unit, one of those would likely be considerably louder and drown out the noise from this dehumidifier. The fan speed can bet set to high or low, and the high is noticeably louder, so I always keep it low.Third, panel control. Lots of settings to optimally adapt to your environment. The most useful of course is the humidity setting. I prefer to keep mine lower around the 30-40 level, which will result in more water being collected and hence more trips to empty the tank (unless you use the hose to automatically drain, which I don't), but it's worth it to keep the humidity low in the house.The only negative aspect of this dehumidifier is the position of the water tank itself. It is oddly placed in the back of the unit. So if you are looking at or adjusting the settings on the control panel and then need to empty the tank, you will have to rotate the unit, so the back will be facing you. Since I rarely adjust settings, I just keep the unit in that backwards position for ease.Bottom line is that this dehumidifier performs exceptionally well, is easy to maintain and use, and is affordably priced. The positives far outweigh the negatives, so I definitely recommend this unit and would strongly consider purchasing Kesnos products in the future.
