🌬️ Efficient Room Dehumidifier: hOmeLabs 1,500 Sq. Ft Energy Star, Ideal for Medium to Large Rooms and Basements Review

I've never given a 1 star review but it's pretty serious and not immediately obvious. I never use a hose barb, just a tank. For a while I was very happy with this car. The water in the tank is clean, as it should be. Oddly enough, the tank gradually discolored from sediment and a greenish-brown film that I eventually produced from organisms growing in the still water in the pool behind the hose outlet. Luckily I unscrewed and removed the cap at the exit of the hose, otherwise I wouldn't have…

This humidifier has big pluses and a few big minuses. Pros - it works fairly quietly, it's very easy to remove the drip tray and pour out the water [there's even a handle], the cord is a decent length, the filter is easy to remove and clean. It has small wheels on the bottom, push button electronic adjustments for constant/turbo/humidity setting. Nice auto shut off when full and I love how you can attach a hose to the back to automatically drain water down a drain or bucket. Their customer…

I'm satisfied with this device. Did a lot of research and collected helpful tips and answers below from other posts and support: 1. Keep the device unplugged for 24 hours to avoid damage after you receive the device. Stands directly in the manual and on the Box2. When using a drain hose extension, use thread tape to prevent leaks. Also, do not over-tighten the connection with tools, but rather by hand as much as possible. Some people have mentioned leaks without using thread tape, or others…

The first unit that got to my house wasn't in the shipping box but was only sent in manufacturer's packaging. This was a little surprising as I thought something mechanical should be better protected. When I opened the box, I noticed that one of the wheels was not attached to the bottom at all. Also, the float that sits in the collection tank to indicate that the tank is full is separated (broken) on one side. I called the support number provided and they sent me a new dehumidifier without…

My bathroom has suffered from black mold from excessive humidity for years. Small dots appeared on the tops of the walls shortly after I scraped or painted them, then bloomed into larger rosettes over the course of a few weeks. We tried spraying them with bleach, we cleaned them regularly and they went away only to reappear a few weeks later. We tried leaving the door open to let some moisture out but that meant less privacy. In summer we opened the window and it helped, but in winter it was…

first let me point out some errors in other reviews. The damage to the heatsink/capacitor fins seen in one of my photos is perfectly normal during assembly. If it bothers you, or is bad enough to affect the car, or if you accidentally do it yourself, there's an easy fix. Take a condenser comb. I know they're available at Lowe's and Autozone, but chances are they're also available at Revain and a few other stores in your area. Look for it at hardware stores or auto parts stores. The combs are…

Frigidaire 70 liter dehumidifier and hOmeLabs 70 liter dehumidifier in comparison point. Foreword: These are two of Revain's most popular and top rated dehumidifiers. So I thought it would be a good idea to compare them side by side as I have both. I've been using Frigidaire for about 9 months and hOmeLabs for about a week. The EPA recommends indoor relative humidity of 30-60%. Both units are perfectly capable of supporting this. Another clue is that both of these devices are devices that do…
