Should you buy the Tosot 30 Pint Dehumidifier?
Yes, you should buy it.
You should know that the main factors in choosing a dehumidifier are the size of your space and the normal level of humidity in that space. A dehumidifier’s size capacity is defined as the amount of moisture that can be removed from your space in a 24-hour period under normal operating conditions.
For a 30 pint dehumidifier like this one, it would drain an area of 1500 sq ft at a rate of 4 gallons of water per day. If this is your targeted space requirement, then you should definitely consider buying it.
For this 30 pint dehumidifier, one of its selling points is its portable size. Since it is small and compact, installing it in small spaces with excess moisture is easy. Some of these small spaces include basements or crawl spaces like the attic.
The size of this dehumidifier is also perfect for collecting moisture from the air without having to repeatedly empty out the tank. This tosot 30 pint dehumidifier can be fitted with a hose, to continuously drain out water.
We definitely think you should get it.
Special Features
Humidity sensor
The unit can be set to shut off once a desired humidity level is met. The device will be put back on once the humidity level continues to rise. It will then bring the humidity level back to your desired set level.
1,500 SQ FT ROOM COVERAGE
This dehumidifier can remove up to 30 pints of water every 24 hours (based on 2012 DOE standard) in most small to fairly average sized rooms of up to 1500 sq ft. Its low humidity level allows an AC system to work more efficiently because it's easier to change the temperature of dry air compared to moist, super-humid air.
Automatic Continuous Drainage
This dehumidifier will stop running when the water bucket fills up. You can also save time through using the automatic drainage by hooking up a 3/4 inch dehumidifier drain hose to your dehumidifier.
If you would not prefer to have continuous drainage, you can use the removable water bucket (1 gallon capacity) to manually empty the dehumidifier and restart the moisture removal.
Real-time Monitoring
After deciding on your preferred humidity level and setting it, the control panel will continuously display the current humidity level as it drops or rises. The dehumidifier will power off after reaching your desired humidity level.
The dehumidifier can be set to run continuously irrespective of the current humidity level. It will run until the drain bucket is full. Though this cannot happen if you have the continuous drain set up.
Whisper Quiet Operation
It’s operation is about as loud as a baby taking a nap or as some might say, as loud as a quiet conversation at home. Consequently, you will barely notice it running.
Energy Efficient
Because it is Energy-Star rated, this dehumidifier will therefore quickly remove moisture from the air without ramping up your utility bill.
Basement Dehumidifier
This dehumidifier efficiently pulls moisture out of your dingy small spaced basements and small spaces. This thus makes it the perfect choice for basements, crawl spaces (attics) and small rooms.
Drain Hose
If emptying drain buckets is a tiresome task to you, you can connect a 3/4 inch female threaded garden hose to your unit to utilize the gravity-fed continuous drainage mode.
Power Outage Restart
In the event of a power outage, your unit will resume operation once full power is restored to your home. The dehumidifier will revert to the same settings that were running before the unit lost power.
Washable Air Filter
The filter on your TOSOT Dehumidifier is washable and can therefore be cleaned periodically. After 250 hours of operation, a filter light on the display screen of your TOSOT Dehumidifier will light. This will be the tosot 30 pint dehumidifier's way of reminding you that it is time to clean the filter. Remember to make sure the filter is completely dry before reinstalling it.
Drain bucket
If your TOSOT dehumidifier is running constantly, the drain bucket will need to be drained frequently. When emptying the bucket, you will not spill any water. This is because of the swivel handle and spill-resistant baffles of the drain bucket.
