Waykar 80 Pints 5000 Sq. Ft 2025 Energy Star Dehumidifier for Basement

This dehumidifier does an excellent job of covering my large finished basement, as well as other areas of my home (2900 sq. ft.). It takes the moisture out of the air and keeps the basement from feeling damp and smelling musty. I live in PA and we can get a lot of rain and humidity. I have the hose (that was included in the packaging) connected in the back and have it draining directly into my sump pump drain, so I don't have to empty the bucket. We spend a good deal of time in the basement exercising, watching TV, and kids playing on the carpet and the dehumidifier helps keep the air quality better for us. It's very quiet when it's running, too! When I was deciding to purchase a dehumidifier, this one was rated very high and the price was great! I would also make mention that their customer support was very responsive and helpful when I had a few questions about the initial setup. The Waykar dehumidifier has been a wonderful addition to our home and I highly recommend it!!

I’m very impressed with this Waykar dehumidifier. It does a great job removing moisture from the basement, and I noticed a difference in the air quality and overall comfort pretty quickly. It’s easy to set up and use, the controls are straightforward, and it runs fairly quietly considering how powerful it is. The customer service was excellent as well—friendly, responsive, and helpful. The build quality feels solid, and I really appreciate the large capacity and convenient features. It has been reliable so far and keeps the basement feeling much drier and more comfortable. Overall, it’s a great dehumidifier for the price, and with the excellent service, I would definitely recommend it.

Works great (we have 2). We have two of these units - one in our basement and one in our garage. They seem to do a great job a removing humidity. After just under a year, the first one starting acting strange. I reached out to the customer support email, and they were prompt and getting back - sending a new unit. overall I'm happy with the size, their performance, and the experience.

I’ve been happy with this Waykar dehumidifier overall. It was easy to set up and simple to use, and the unit was light enough that I could move it down to my basement by myself. I liked that it was easy to move around when needed, and it didn’t take up too much space. When it was working, it did a great job keeping the humidity under control. I noticed a clear difference in the basement, and it was also quieter than I expected, which made it comfortable to run for extended periods. The controls were straightforward, and I found it convenient for regular use. I also appreciate that Waykar’s customer service responded quickly when I contacted them about an issue regarding the filter. They were friendly, professional, and helpful throughout the process.

I bought this Waykar 80-Pint Dehumidifier for my basement, and the difference within 24 hours was incredible. It dropped the humidity from 75% to a comfortable 45%. I was so happy to see that musty smell went away for good. I also do woodworking projects in the basement and humidity control is very important to me. This dehumidifier is very easy to use. The digital display is very intuitive, letting you dial in your target humidity level very easily. Also, it is very quiet and it has swivel casters that make movement effortless. I use it with continuous drainage as well with the supplied hose straight into a floor drain. That way, I don't need to empty the container periodically. I am very happy with this purchase and recommend it 100%.

I purchased the Waykar 120 Pints 6000 Sq. Ft. Energy Star Dehumidifier for my basement, and the difference has been incredible. Within the first few days, this unit was pulling two full buckets of water per day out of the air. I knew the basement was damp, but I had no idea just how much moisture was hiding down there until this machine got to work. The biggest surprise was how much the overall environment changed. The basement feels completely different now. The air is fresher, cleaner, and more comfortable, and even family members who don't spend much time down there immediately commented on the improvement. It honestly feels like a whole new space. Performance-wise, the unit has been excellent. The auto-defrost feature works as advertised, the 90° auto-swing helps move air around efficiently, and it has had no problem keeping up with a large basement area. What really pushed this review to 5 stars, though, was the customer service. I had an issue that needed attention, and the Waykar support team was outstanding. They were responsive, professional, and genuinely interested in making things right. They worked with me throughout the process and even offered a replacement unit to resolve the problem. It's refreshing to find a company that stands behind its product and takes care of its customers. If you're dealing with humidity, musty odors, or damp basement conditions, I highly recommend this dehumidifier. It has transformed my basement, and the combination of strong performance and exceptional customer service makes it an easy recommendation. Pros: Removes an impressive amount of moisture (up to two buckets per day in my basement) Noticeable improvement in air quality and comfort Large coverage area Easy to operate Auto-defrost and auto-swing features work well Outstanding customer service and support Bottom line: This dehumidifier completely changed the environment in my basement, and Waykar's customer service was every bit as impressive as the machine itself. Highly recommended.

I'm very satisfied with my two 80 pint Waykar dehumidifiers, ordered from Amazon at the same time, These were delivered to my Virginia home in shipping boxes designed to protect the units. I appreciate Waykar's forethought in packaging. I experienced product damage due to other companies failing to pack and ship products properly, never fun. The Waykar features listed are exactly what I needed to control humidity in my Virginia home. I placed one unit upstairs with a full bath, bedroom and entertainment room. After starting the unit the humidity dropped quickly to my desired setting. Currently at 43%. This allowed me to increase the air conditioning setting to 78 degrees. The space is now very comfortable and I now save money with the higher air conditioning setting. The other unit is on my main floor, 3 bedrooms, livingroom, kitchen, den, dinning room the 3 bathrooms. Centrally located in the space, the humidity significantly dropped. Current humidity is 48% with temperature 76 degrees. Everyone being different, my point is Waykar humidifiers are well designed, easy to adjust to a customer's desired settings. I also like the appearance of the unit and it runs very quite. Customer service is also a very positive value, before and after the sale. I encourage you to do your research, I believe you will be happy what you find. I must quickly mention I have been a Waykar customer since 2024. My Wisconsin home has three units selected for features best suited to effectively control humidity. I have had other dehumidifiers in the past from other companies that were offered at an attractive price point but failed to be the quality Waykar offers.

The GOOD and Bad We 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 GOOD One 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.

From the first day its not working and super loud The 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.

We purchased this Waykar dehumidifier in August 2024 for our basement. We decided to buy this model because we specifically liked the relatively small footprint and the option to regulate the noise level. Because we do not have a hose routed towards the outside, it is very convenient that the unit automatically shuts off and also indicates when to change the water basket. Since we bought it, the dehumidifier has done a great job keeping the humidity low and the climate in the basement very comfortable. Unfortunately, after 22 months of reliable service, the unit started to ice over and no longer works. This was disappointing, because we really liked this particular brand and model. However, the Waykar customer service has been extremely responsive and helpful. They answered my email the very next day, and after verifying that a repair wasn't feasible, offered to send a replacement at no cost. It is clear that Waykar stands behind their products and value their customers. We are currently waiting for the replacement and I will provide an update once we receive it.

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.
