Pro Breeze 50 Pint Dehumidifier - 3,500 4,000 Sq Ft Dehumidifiers for Home Large Room Basements with Humidity Sensor, Auto Shut Off, Continuous Drainage Hose, Removes Moisture, Ideal for Basement

This is the second Pro-Breeze dehumidifier that I have purchased — the first being just over four years ago.In the cool humidity of winters and spring in the Pacific Northwest, finding an effective deterrent to mildew is a challenge. This unit is exactly what is needed.The first one gave up the ghost after running 24/7 for over four years. I have no complaint at all with its lifespan, hence the unhesitant purchase of a second one.This new one is even quieter than the first, which is saying a lot as I was impressed with how little white noise the first one emitted.The effectiveness of collecting excess moisture from this particular environment is notable, as even during very cold days and nights, when humidity is high, this unit fills in just a few days.For those with smaller RV’s and motorhomes, this Pro-Breeze dehumidifier takes up very little space (can even sit right on the console in the cab or windshield area) and effectively eliminates condensation even with the fluctuating inside and outside temperature changes.As a bonus and for the environment — use the collected water to supplement your indoor and outdoor plant waterings!

This dehumidifier is exactly what we needed for a bedroom that my wife uses for an office several days a week after we realized it has a mold problem. The dehumidifier runs quietly, pulls a good amount of moisture out of the air, and is dead simple to operate. There are only two settings - on or off. When the water tank is full, the device turns off automatically (a float in the tank rises up and presses an internal switch). Emptying the tank is stupid simple, and I am the kind of person that spills every time I add water to the coffee maker.Unfortunately, after a few months of continuous operation, the dehumidifier stopped working. When plugged in, it remained silent and no lights came on. If I manually pressed the "full" switch, the full light would illuminate, indicating that the unit was receiving power.Now the very good. It took a few tries to create a support case on the ProBreeze website -- you are required to upload a file, but the two days I tried to use the site, file uploads were broken. I eventually chatted with the automated assistant on the bottom right corner of the site, and it asked me all the same questions AND allowed me to upload a video showing the problem with my device. At the end of this exchange, the chat bot told me to expect a response within several business days.The VERY NEXT DAY, less than twelve hours later, a human rep emailed to ask for my mailing address. They sent a replacement unit to me at no cost. No need to ship back the broken one, as my video was adequate evidence of defect. I put in my request on a Monday night, and I *had a brand new replacement by Thursday afternoon*. This is by far the best customer service experience I've had after an item fails. I am very impressed, and I can confidently say that ProBreeze stands behind their products.

I wanted to love the Pro Breeze dehumidifier, but after having purchased two of these and experiencing both units failing, I cannot recommend this product. The price is great, and the Amazon reviews looked equally great, so I purchased one. It performed well for about 3 months, and then completely stopped working. Since the elapsed time falls outside of Amazon's return policy, we're going to seek a refund from the manufacturer directly. Before our first unit gave up the ghost, we had already purchased a second unit. I unwrapped it and put it to work immediately, except that it never came to life. It was "dead" right out of the box! I tried plugging it into multiple outlets, just to ensure that there wasn't some issue with my outlets, but the device remained as dead as before. An expensive paperweight, to be sure.After experiencing failures with both units, I decided to purchase a more professional-grade dehumidifier. I selected the Frigidaire 50 Pint Capacity Dehumidifier (model number FFAD5033R1), which I also purchased through Amazon. Upon unpacking it, I was immediately struck by the difference in build quality vs. the Pro Breeze. The Frigidaire is a serious piece of equipment, and if it is possible for a guy to be excited about a dehumidifier, I can tell you that I was actually a little excited by this appliance. My initial positive impressions were validated when I plugged it in and started using it. It hummed to life, and within just a few hours, it had utterly removed the dampness and mildew scent from my storage room. Within less than 24 hours, it had already filled up its massive water repository (I purchased the 50-pint model), which I emptied into the flower bed and slid back into the unit so that it could continue. This is a serious piece of equipment, and although it is 3x the price of the Pro Breeze, it does a superior job at removing humidity and thus far appears to have no issues with mechanical reliability.Don't roll the dice by purchasing a Pro Breeze. Spend the extra money and get something that will do the job right and that will continue to deliver that performance to you over time.
