Higher moisture or humidity level in your home can make your living space uncomfortable. It can cause moisture build-up, which is an ideal breeding ground for various allergens and even mold and mildew growth. A dehumidifier optimizes and maintains humidity levels within enclosed spaces by removing the excess moisture, thereby keeping the indoors free of sticky air, muggy conditions, and unhealthy mold growth. To help you find the best dehumidifier for your home or office, we have reviewed
The Vremi 50 Pint 4,500 Sq. Ft. Dehumidifier Energy Star Rated for Large Spaces and Basement
Vremi’s flagship dehumidifier, “Moisture Maniac,” is rated to remove 50 pints (up to 70 pints as per DOE 2012 Rating Standard) of moisture per day to effectively reduce humidity and maintain optimal humidity levels to make the indoor space feel more comfortable. The dehumidifier measures 16.6 x 11 x 24.3 inches, and it is ideal for medium to large indoor space between 3,000 and 4,500 SQ FT.
Designed with convenience and style in mind, the Vremi Moisture Maniac sports a sleek, clean look and features convenient built-in castor wheels and handles for easy portability. The dehumidifier comes with a 1.8-gallon water tank capacity and is easy to operate. When starting the dehumidifier for the first time, it will run in the ‘Continuous Mode,’ where the device will automatically determine the settings best for your home. If you’d like to set levels manually, simply turn off the ‘Continuous Mode’ and customize it as you see fit. You can adjust the machine to the ideal moisture levels or let it run on a continuous 24-hour cycle until the container is full, where the unit will shut down automatically. For added convenience, there’s also a drain hose outlet for continuous draining (hose not included). Just connect a garden hose directly to the outlet to employ gravity drainage, removing the inconvenience of collecting water in a bucket.
The Vremi Moisture Maniac comes with a humidistat that can be set to the desired humidity level of 35% up to 85% relative humidity (RH) into increments of 5% increments. The dehumidifier features an industry-standard timer set in half-hour increments up to 10 hours and 1-hour increments from 11 to 24 hours. The portable dehumidifier features two fan speeds, a continuous mode and an auto mode, and also includes a Turbo mode that increases fan speed for maximum moisture removal. The device comes with auto defrost mode that prevents the coil from freezing.
Some users have complained about the high amount of noise generated by the dehumidifier, making it difficult to operate it in the bedroom in the room while sleeping. Since the Moisture Maniac has a wide coverage area, you can put the dehumidifier in a faraway room and still get the best performance without disturbing your sleep. The dehumidifier also features Comfort and Turbo settings to modulate the noise and dehumidification power.
Since the dehumidifier pulls a large amount of air, the water tank and filter should be cleaned regularly; otherwise, it may lead to mold growth. The water tank and filter are easily accessible on the Moisture Maniac and comes with washable filters that can be washed on the sink. The dehumidifier is Energy Star certified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). An Energy Star appliance is, on average, about 15% more efficient than a non-certified machine.
