Effective, Quiet Dehumidifier with Wi-Fi Control

This dehumidifier performs well in a crawl space and runs quietly enough to be barely audible. The Wi-Fi feature allows checking run time and adjusting humidity settings from a phone. The DIY hanging kit is solid and straightforward, though installation overall is somewhat challenging. Wiring the sump pump to the dehumidifier for the overflow protection switch takes some figuring out. Wi-Fi setup is standard for similar devices. The included condensate pump and tubing can be routed to a drain, such as through a foundation into a gravel bed. It is expensive, but long-term reliability is hoped for.

Pros
  • + works great in crawl space
  • + fairly quiet operation
  • + Wi-Fi control for run time and humidity settings
  • + solid and straightforward hanging kit
  • + included condensate pump and tubing
Cons
  • − expensive
  • − installation is a bit of a challenge
  • − wiring sump pump for overflow switch takes time to figure out

Quiet, Effective Dehumidifier for Crawl Spaces

This unit reduced relative humidity from the upper 80s to the mid-40s in an approximately 1,700-square-foot open crawl space with a vapor barrier and sealed vents. Installation is straightforward thanks to clear instructions and a built-in level. Operation is very quiet, though the condensate pump is slightly louder than the dehumidifier itself and cannot be heard from inside the house. It dries the space enough that it does not need to run constantly. Recommended for similar setups.

Pros
  • + Significantly lowers humidity
  • + Simple installation with clear instructions
  • + Built-in level aids positioning
  • + Very quiet operation
  • + Does not need to run constantly
Cons
  • − Condensate pump is louder than the dehumidifier
