140 Pints Commercial Dehumidifier for 6,000 Sq Ft Basements and Large Rooms with Continuous Drain Hose, 2.1 Gallons Water Tank, Advanced Touchpad Control Panel1

The media could not be loaded. I have a small dehumidifier for my bathroom, but for some reason, my condo unit stays humid year round, so I needed a larger unit to dehumidify the rest of the rooms. This unit by Colzer is a really powerful, large-capacity unit that works quickly and efficiently. Large dehumidifiers simply work better and faster than small ones. Within a few minutes, this unit begins extracting water out of the air without raising the temperature in the room more than a couple degrees. The controls on this unit are very simple and intuitive. I like that it shows the temperature of the room along with the humidity level. It came very well packed and was easy to set up. You simply plug it in and it goes to work. It has wheels on the bottom and is easy to move around. It looks great in any room and takes of less space than the other style of dehumidifiers. I like that the air comes in the back and out the top, so that I can dry clothes above it if I want. There is a setting specifically for that. This unit is also very quiet. It just sounds like a fan running. I only use it on the lowest setting because it has plenty of power to work quickly. The large-capacity tank is easy to empty or can be attached to a plastic tube to run continuously. This unit would be great in a humid basement as well, since it is so powerful and basements tend to be humid. Really nice unit.

I live in Florida, and the windows in my condo are...not great. They leak horribly. Which means humidity inside is routinely over 60%, and sometimes as high as 80%. I had a normal dehumidifier, but it was hopelessly outmatched by the constant humidity. Even running all day, the most I could hope for was to bring the humidity down to the high 50s (if the starting point was 75-80% humidity, the most I could hope for was to bring it down to about 63%. Clearly not ideal). And it was incredibly loud, which most normal dehumidifiers are.This Colzer, though, is in a class all by itself.First, it is easily twice the size of my old one, which means more powerful and capable. It is also beautiful. The cabinet is tall, with rounded edges, and the controls are digital and easy to read and use. Only complaint there is the manual. It’s like it was made for smurfs. Could it have killed them to make it human sized? Not everyone has 20/20 vision...When operating, this thing is audible, but far quieter than my old one, to the point that I can actually watch tv with it running 5 feet away from my tv. Which is impressive. More impressive is that you can set the relative humidity target you desire for the room. When it reaches it, the dehumidifier goes into standby, and will only turn back in when humidity starts to climb. This means you can leave it on all day and night, and it will automatically shut off when the target humidity levels are reached. I also need to point out this thing is EFFECTIVE. Whereas my old Soleus dehumidifier struggled to keep humidity low and barely managed to reduce it by more that 15%, this bad boy got my condo from 74% to 50% in less than an hour, and it has maintained it there for the last 5 hours, even turning off occasionally for 10-20 minutes before needing to start back up. However in all that time, my humidity sensor in my house has remained rock steady at 50%, which is the maximum humidity I set up for my place. This thing, in other words, is outstandingly effective.The dehumidifier comes with a large receptacle that holds up to 2 gallons of water. It also has a tube you can connect to a drain plug to let the water drain that way. Just be aware that there is no pump involved in this, so the machine has several warning stickers indicating the drain tube has to be positioned just so, in order to ensure proper drainage using gravity. Which is true for most units in the market, so I’m not shocked.All in all, this is a fantastic unit. I have only had it for 2 days, but so far I am impressed of its capability, effectiveness and quiet operation.Update 10/2022After just 2 years, this thing has given up the ghost. Now it runs and runs but humidity stays high. It does not seem to be freezing, and I can’t tell if the drain is obstructed or not. I have emailed support but so far they have been no help. I am tremendously disappointed that a device this expensive will stop running after just 2 years.

Pros: 1) Capacity & speed. The unit can handle a large garage in GA humidity. We were at 70 degrees with sheeting rain and had to leave our garage door open for 30 minutes for guests. After closing the door with a wet car inside, the Colzer got the humidity down from 89% to 45% in well under 30 minutes. 2) High capacity manual tank option. Although you can use the hose to auto-drain the tank via gravity, that option would not work for our situation. Colzer is one of the few commercial grade dehumidifiers with a manual dump tank option. Bonus: bigger tank than any others I found so we don’t have to dump as often. 3) Well-priced. For the overall high quality & extra features like a clothes drying mode, auto defrost, a swing mode where vents move back & forth to better circulate dried air, intuitive controls, and auto vent close when the unit powers down, I was really happy with the price point. I was tired of getting cheaper residential models every 2-3 years that were of great quality, but were undersized to handle a large garage in GA humidity. Also, because I cannot use the hose, not paying for a hose pump I don’t need was great. 4) Low noise. This unit runs equal to or quieter than any of the 3 other units we’ve had. It’s high efficiency means it can also turn itself off more often when it hits the desired humidity level. 5) Excellent & fast customer service. Our unit arrived damaged due to a delivery incident. It was well-packed at Colzer, but had been dropped pretty hard - thick styrofoam at bottom broken into pieces and 3 wheels broken. Normally I would have just returned it to Amazon, but there was a really nice note & VIP card inside the box asking me to contact Colzer directly if there were any problems, so I did. Within a day, I had a response and within a week my replacement unit was at my home. Fantastic!Cons: I’ll update if things change, but there’s only 1 little improvement I would suggest—the caster wheels are a little small for the size of the unit. Ease of maneuvering would improve with bigger wheels.
