Tekola Dehumidifier: Ideal for Keeping Your Home and Basement Dry and Comfortable

bmrdoc: Bought this product for a motor home and it has proven to be a good investment… easy to drain and small. Saves replacing disposable desiccants which can be costly and quite a problem if the contents are leaked or spilled. Product arrived first time with crack in reservoir…. It could be made a bit stronger….that’s the only negative I’ve seen. And after months now of use, it is reliable and effective. A money saver over other options.

Keaton: I use this in a 5x5 ft tent and it can keeps the humidity at %45 if my fans are not pulling in lots of air. When the fans are up it does struggle but thats what id expect. Only reason I have to give 4 stars instead of 5 is because you cannot turn off the rather bright blue lights all over the device, without turning it all the way off.

S. M.: I bought this based on the star ratings and some reviews. Then I noticed almost all reviews were for ribbons, shower curtains..everything except this dehumidifier. Don't lose the tiny remote control because you can't operate it without the remote. My first remote did not work. I had to return the whole thing for another one. The dehumidifier works but is not I deal for a 500 sq ft room. Maybe half that size. This does not drop my humidity below 60%. Hardly any water in the tank after 3 days or more. I am looking for something more efficient that will hold the humidity at 45-50%. I would not buy this again,just because of the remote.

Peng Wang: I can confirm that those 1 star reviews have its credibility. I live in New York city and the humidity can easily reach 70% during the day. I bought the dehumidifier about 3 weeks ago (it's 5/31/2022 the time I write this review). I had it on 3 days and nights non-stop. I had the setting on 40% humidity and it never crossed below 60%. It didn't even collect water more than 1/3 of the tank, in the entire time. My basement is about 450 sqf. Now whether it has something to do with the room size, humidity level and air circulation, I can never tell. To me. 450 sqf and 70% humidity is the common setting and any dehumidifer should work under this condition, especially I have windows open and a box fan on more of the time. I returned the unit and feel obligated the share my review. The product never broke. It was just never functional.

BillBill: Okay, first of all. The dang temperature is written in Celsius. What in tarnation is 23c in freedom units? I have no idea, brother. I see no way to change it either!

Problem #2. The unit is remote operated ONLY. Without the dinky little remote smaller that weighs less than a couple of pennies, the unit IS INOPERABLE.

Problem #3. This is a supply chain issue, it probably won't happen to you, right? My unit said "tank full" when I plugged it in and didn't stop saying that until I took a dang knife to the tank reader and cut it. Then it was fine I guess. Not a fan.

Problem #4. The controls are ass, Sleep mode turns the fan down and shuts the lights off. What if I want to sleep in a dry room? Can I keep the fan on high? Nope. What if I want to turn off that annoying blinky light show in the front and just have it display the humidity? Nope.
