Whirlpool 35 Pint Dehumidifier - AD35USS

Comments about Whirlpool 35 Pint Dehumidifier:

When using in a basement, the noise -- sometimes a lot, sometimes not -- isn't an issue. The product does a great job gathering water and, after a great deal of research, I concluded the flaws of the Whirlpool were fewer and less serious than the flaws o the competing brands. Just be careful emptying the water bucket, which sloshes over quite easily, and tell yourself that the modest price is a compensation for questionable longevity of product (at least in reviews).

Comments about Whirlpool 35 Pint Dehumidifier:

The Whirlpool AD35USS was chosen based on research for efficiency and well-known brand name to be used in a non-living space basement during summer. The unit was found to be efficient, but it makes alot of noise. Factory service was contacted and I was advised that the "Made in China" components, such as the compressor just do not perform as well as they could. While it's running, it sounds like an old klanky air conditioner. Even when the unit was placed on a thick carpet, the noise persisted. I tolerate this only because it's in the basement. If it was in a living space, the noise would be intolerable. The future for this unit is uncertain.

I have been using it for 3 weeks. It removed moldy smell from my basement, and made it cooler during the hot summer. I was surprised to see so much water in the collecting pan after 2 days.
The only thing that wasn't so great is the noise from the fan and motor. It is louder than I expected, but I think I can live with that.

Service and delivery comments:

The delivery was very prompt. I got it only 2 days after ordering. The package was in good shape.

Comments about Whirlpool 35 Pint Dehumidifier:

Product came right out of the box and ready to go. Has apan, but I preferred a hose connection to a sump in the basement. I hooked it up and within 24 hours there was a noticible difference in the basement. I found it to be quiet, although that was not an important issue for me since it was in the basement. Nevertheless I was surprised at how quiet it was compared to the one it replaced.

Service and delivery comments:

Delivery was incredibly quick. When it showed up at the door in a couple of days I didn't know what it was expecting delivery to be much longer.
The individual salesman at ABT, Conrad Sivek, was knowledgeable and very helpful. He asked questions and listened to the answers determining that I was probably not getting the right unit for the job. He made a suggestion and I followed his advice. His advice was exactly on target. Doesn't get any better than that!

Over the years, I have used several brands of dehumidifier and this one works best by far. It is very quiet and the various settings allow it to work well in almost any situation. My only issue is that the water pan is a little small and sometimes fills up in less than 24 hours. Hooking up a hose so it can drain continuously into a floor drain will fix that problem.

Comments about Whirlpool 35 Pint Dehumidifier:

More effective than I thought it could be for 1200 sf space after reading package. Package said I might need 50 pint/day dehumidifier instead of 35 for basement but this seems to work fine, though it seems to run continuously. Basement is cool and dry.

Package also suggests a dedicated electric circuit and has big scary warnings about using extension cords, so I complied and added a 20 amp circuit, though a couple of lamps are also plugged in.

Controls on top panel are difficult to read when placed up high. Would be nicer on front, but probably easier to read when on floor. Would be nice to have current humidity readout.

It's quiet enough not to notice. Easy to set up and forget. Air is nice and cool.

Unit blows warm air from side. Side placement of hose drain means other side with exhaust is going into the room unless you curve the hose around back and exhaust into a corner.

Overall very nice and a lot quieter than my old 75 ppd Comfortaire. Hopefully it will last longer.
