Waykar 2000 Sq. Ft Most Efficient Energy Star 2025 Home & Basement Dehumidifier with Automatic or Manual Drain, 33dB Quiet Operation, 0.6 Gallon Water Tank Capacity

This dehumidifier does not work , at all . It cost me 500 dollars Australian. And zero dollars freight. Now I can't get a refund until I return it at a cost to me of $260au . Don't know what yo do .

Update: All’s well that ends well. My rating is actually 4.5. Had nothing less an incredible experience in dealing with Customer Support. The company is dedicated to providing customer service. What do I call that? Priceless. Was so impressed I purchased another new dehumidifier to replace the defective used-but-good-dehumidifier. Buying used is like playing poker. Sometimes you win; sometimes you don’t. Although the manual states the minimum operating temperature is 41 F, that’s not true from my experience. Don’t believe any standard compressor dehumidifier will properly operate below 60 F without issue. What do I like about this model? Several things. Size: Small footprint. Sound: Quiet. Best feature: Dehumidifies. Price: Is right. Original Review Item was listed as used but good. Waited to turn it on for 24 hours after standing it upright. Turned it on. Sounded like it was running. Humidity readout showed 77 after a shower. Had it set for 60. Ran for 24 hours. Not a single drop of water produced. Dead on arrival. Called the manufacturer for support. They were supposed to contact me on Monday- last week. I simply returned it & was credited. Bought 2 of these dehumidifiers. The new one works incredibly fine in our downstairs 72 degree F bathroom. Moved it to our upstairs bathroom where the temp is ~60 degrees F. Dehumidifier ran fine until I noticed there water stopped coming out of the drain hose. This time the humidity reading was toggling between 68 & 71. Pulled off the filter. The coil had iced up. Didn’t bother calling anyone this time. It’s supposed to have a defrost feature. Well, it wasn’t working. Moved it back downstairs to the warmer bathroom & it works as it should.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Dehumidifier – Quiet, Efficient, and Worth Every Penny! I couldn’t be happier with this Waykar dehumidifier. It has made a noticeable difference in my home by pulling a surprising amount of moisture out of the air, leaving everything feeling much more comfortable. It runs quietly, so it’s not disruptive, even when it’s operating throughout the day. The unit is easy to set up, simple to use, and the controls are very user-friendly. I also appreciate the large water tank and the option for continuous drainage, which makes maintenance easy. Within just a day or two, I noticed less musty odor, and the humidity level stayed exactly where I set it. If you’re looking for a reliable, energy-efficient dehumidifier that performs as advertised, I highly recommend the Waykar. It’s been a great investment, and I would definitely purchase it again.

​​I wanted a dehumidifier with low watts and this is very low for this type of appliance. Ever since I bought solar panels and solar batteries, low watts are now my main appliance criteria. I have a watt tester and this is only 111-119 watts with the compressor running. I have checked it many times. I also wanted a unit that can blow air sideways and does not blow air straight up to the ceiling since I want to direct the air and heat from it. I might have considered a different brand if not for that. The other reason I wanted a low watt small unit is because I want it to run it all night on continuous or dry settings so I do not have to hear the compressor come on and off which is noisy. So I do not care that it takes awhile to bring the humidity down because I intend to leave it on all night in cool weather, so it is perfect for my needs. It took one hour to reduce the humidity in a 10 X 10 foot room from 75% to 45% - so if you have a large space....it may take quite a while longer or it may depend on how insulated your home is or how damp the climate, so it may not be able to keep up. am using it for a single room, so it seems fine. If you want something for a large room or to work very quickly and then simply shut off, and you have a lot of humidity, this may not be for you, not sure. My larger dehumidifier uses 400 watts and can do the same percent humidity change, as above, in about 10-15 minutes instead of an hour, so I am not saving watts for each percent in humidity change. It is still about 100 watts total to get the job done with either one in a single room. However, like I said, I want to leave it on, so this saves a lot of energy over time. My home is also not well insulated so even if the large unit gets the job done in under 15 min - it may be damp again by the end of the remaining hour making the smaller unit a better option under those conditions. The other advantage (or disadvantage) of this unit is that being low power, it produces a lot less heat. It only raised the room temperature a couple of degrees in one hour. My larger unit can change a room temperature by about 10-15 degrees in a larger 12X12 foot room and is a good heating option in winter. I am not sure yet if this will be a good winter heat source or if it will simply be my mild spring-fall option. We will see. Either unit is far more energy efficient than any space heater, by far, regardless. The other thing that makes this a good option, is that if you set it at 45 percent humidity (rather than use continuous or dry) it will shut off at around 42-43% and not come back on until 47-48%, thus, it is not turning on and off all the time for every percentage change in humidity. My larger one, of a different brand, does that, and with only a 1 percent change, it turns on and off and it is super annoying and loud when it does, thus the need for the continuous setting. So, it depends on what you are looking for. So far, so good, for what I wanted, and I will also probably use it to dry hand washables in the bathroom with the dry setting on damp days, as well, with the dry setting. It came with a manual but no set-up instructions. Its humidity gauge is similar to my separate units if placed nearby, so accurate enough. It does shut off when the bucket is full - that works fine. Do not forget to tighten the hose adapter plug in the back! Mine came lose, but I noticed it ahead of time. If you do not tighten it, it may leak. The unit is also a bit noisy. It is not louder then my bigger one but makes a higher pitch background sound and some slight chugging sounds, so I hope I can habituate to that.

I've been very pleased with this Waykar dehumidifier. It does an excellent job of pulling moisture out of the air, and I noticed a big improvement in the comfort of my room within just a couple of days. The air feels fresher, and that damp, musty smell is gone. The unit is easy to set up and simple to operate. The controls are straightforward, and I like being able to set my desired humidity level and let it run automatically. It's also surprisingly quiet, so it doesn't become a distraction whether it's running during the day or overnight. The water tank is easy to remove and empty, and I appreciate that it also supports continuous drainage for longer operation. Despite its compact size, it handles a fairly large area efficiently and has had no trouble keeping the humidity under control. Another bonus is its energy efficiency. Since it's Energy Star certified, I can run it regularly without worrying too much about my electric bill.
