MOUNTO Commercial Dehumidifier, 150 Pint High-Capacity, Includes Pump Drain Hose for Water Damage Restoration, Ideal for Basements, Warehouses & Job Sites

I'm glad this brand exists. It's just as good as Phoenix or Dri-Eaz. Half the price. This industry is full of overpriced equipment. Glad Mounto is out here selling great quality at a reasonable price.

I have a warehouse in South Florida where the humidity is very high all year round. This machine has been amazing.The space is about 2,000 sq feet with 20 feet high ceiling, this machine does the trick.It removes some 70qt of water in 24hrs, I tested it using a cooler and having the water drain into it.The power cable is longthe drain hose is longthe noise is too loud for you to be in the space while it is on.I run it every night when we leave the warehouse and turn it off when we come in to work the next day.It is not "light weight" so I placed it on top of a cart so that I can easily move it around as needed, and at the same time protect it.as we expend into a second location I will buy another one, perhaps just larger as I know it works and it is worth the money.

This unit is in a 2100 sq ft crawl space that averages 4.5 feet in height. The height varies from 6 feet to 3 feet. That's a lot of cubic feet. After encapsulating the crawl space my goal was to get the joist moisture level below 14.5 percent. By setting the target RH humidity level to 70 percent (not particularly low) I was able to achieve my goal..One negative is that thr target humidity level can only be set in 5 percent increments.The unit is going to run for many hours before reaching the target RH. Be prepared for a significant increase in your first months electric bill.The pump works great and the unit comes with a 25 foit long hose - very good.I also installed a 20 inch box fan that keep constantly running in order to improve circulation.

Drying my new construction out fast!

Installed the dehumidifier in my encapsulated crawlspace. (see image)Basic controls but great information such as intake temp/humidity and output temp/humidity readings.The unit has a high output fan of at least 300 CFM. The manual says 250-500CFM and I can verify it is a variable speed fan. When the compressor is not running the fan drops RPM and ramps right back up when the compressor kicks on.It's possible during defrost mode the fan speed ramps up even higher. This is unknown since the manual does not explain how the unit works very well.1. Great moisture extraction CHECK!2. Good build quality CHECK!3. The unit has medium noise levels CHECK!4. The display shows all the technical info you need to know for a running unit. Even has an ammeter built in.The only issue I have is the intake hygrometer is off. My sensor push is calibrated and read 59% while the DH80 read 69%This could simply be because of the system getting acclimated in the crawl where the sensor push has been installed for 3 years. I will keep an eye on it. I set the unit for 50 percent so that if my reasoning is correct, the crawl will get to 40 percent which would be magnificent. Even if the unit acclimates and that 10 point deviation drops to 5 points, I will still be good at 45 percent humidity levels in the crawl.When the unit hits the set humidity level, a 3 minute timer appears and the compressor runs for 3 more minutes. Then when the compressor stops the fan runs for 30 seconds (another countdown timer you can see) and the unit then shuts off. When the humidity rises past the set point, the fan kicks on for 30 seconds then the compressor kicks on.Lastly, the unit sits on top of plastic board and 4 corner adjustable base to get it level. Underneath the base is a silicone tray to catch any water leaks. If there are water leaks, you can see the red water alarm I placed in the tray.The reasons for ONLY giving a 4 star rating.1. Hygrometer readings should be +/- 3 percent while this one is +25 percent or 12 points.2. The manual is OK but does not provide anything more than very basic technical information.3. Website does not have the manual to download (you have to ask)UPDATE: The unit is about 10-12 points off. I have the unit set to 55 percent and it gets my crawl down to 45-43 percent and it is working well albeit not accurate or even close. I worked with the MFG to try and get a new intake Temp/RH sensor and they sent me 2. But the ones they sent are clones of SHT11 sensors which use serial communication. The one on my unit looks to be a sensor that uses I2C protocol which is not compatible with SHT11 sensors serial type data. I have asked the manufacturer to verify what type of THS sensor it is so I can replace it with an accurate one they provide or even buy one myself.I have also asked if there is a hidden tech menu that allows calibration adjustments for the THS sensor. Still waiting on a response. Please note, while the MFG seems to be helpful, it takes to long to get a response and most people would simply send the unit back. I like the quality of the unit (minus the sensor) so I am not so fast to return it, In fact I decided to keep it. I will also be installing a duct adapter kit by DriEaz which the Mounto seems to be a clone of but with a better compressor and thicker copper tubing.I dropped the unit to 3 stars because of the THS sensor and the annoyance of wrong replacement parts being sent.

The media could not be loaded. It's compact, rugged and works like a champ. I like that it is user friendly and easy to clean. This machine does the job.

Worked great for 16 hours. Now when you turn it on, it only runs for 45seconds then shuts downContacted the number from website and sent emails to their warranty department. The phone number went to a mobile voicemail and the email neverreturned.UPDATE:After this initial review got the attention of the seller, they Sent me a new unit and said they shipped a fan too. The new unit worked and dried the house in a day or so.UPDATE 2The new unit failed just as the first one after 4 days. No fan was ever received.Should not call this commercial grade, it’s junk.

It work’s excellent and took the humidity right out of my basement
