Kesnos 4,500 Sq. Ft. Energy Star Dehumidifier for Home, 52 Pint Dehumidifier with Drain Hose for Basement, Bedroom, Bathroom, Room, Featuring Front Display, 24H Timer and Auto Defrost Function

Let me begin by saying I’m not being compensated or anything for this review. I live in Florida in an apartment with very poor air circulation and windows that don’t fully seal out the outside humidity so it’s very musty in here. Usually over 55% humidity and now in the summer over 65%. In my shower, I used to spend hours cleaning all the mold, only for it to come right back in 2 days - making me sneeze like crazy while taking a shower with my eyes burning. SO FRUSTRATING. My hair would even get frizzy INSIDE THE HOUSE. That’s when I decided it was time to invest in a dehumidifier and I’ve had it for around 9 months now. I just bought two other small dehumidifiers and they are so weak compared to this. Before today, I thought this one was just collecting so much water because it is so humid in here. Well, yes, it is, but it is mostly that this dehumidifier is also just very very effective. I set the timer for 2 hours after we shower, (super tiny room with just shower and toilet; ~25 sq ft) and it dries up my bathroom completely and the bucket will be 3/4ths full. I also run it in the living room/kitchen area as often as my lazy butt is willing to haul it there from the bathroom, and when I do, I have to empty out the tank 3x a day or more - and that’s only waking hours (not including night). Usually it’s already full again when nighttime comes so it’s pretty much always off at night. Whenever it’s been off all day, it is SUCH a noticeable difference in the air. The air feels thicker and carpet stickier. I didn’t appreciate how effective this dehumidifier is until I got the smaller ones today..wow! I read reviews before buying slightly smaller ones of another brand on Amazon, and people were impressed by having ~2 table spoons of water collected in 24 hours, I found it laughable compared to mine. But I considered that maybe their place just isn’t as humid as mine, so I bought them anyway. But nope, they turned out to just be super weak!! I can’t even remember the last time I had to get on my knees inhaling chemicals trying to eradicate the nasty mold in the shower. That’s the ultimate evidence that this is working (plus the buckets and buckets of water poured out.) The dryer tends to ruin my delicate (&cheap) clothes, so I’ve always liked to hang dry it. I didn’t even know you could use this for that until I received this and read it in the manual. I put my little rack inside the shower and put the dehumidifier in there with them and they’re bone dry in under 2 hours - and that’s for a full load of laundry. This is honestly such a great investment. And this one is so reasonably priced compared to the others on Amazon of the same capacity. I’m pretty proud of myself for choosing this one. As for noise level, the low modes are pretty quiet. But my belief is that if it ain’t fanning, it ain’t working! So I only use it on high. I have cats and it also is pretty dusty in here from such poor air circulation, so dust has gotten into the spinning fan inside and I think that’s made it get a little louder lately. It’s not annoying, just blends into the background. But just during the day it’s nbd. It’s just inevitable for a large fan inside. The machine itself doesn’t make any noise, but you hear some air blowing/the fan spinning. Also, the air it blows out does make the room a bit warmer in small spaces, but again, I think that’s an inevitable but fair trade-off for a decent capacity dehumidifier. I hope somebody finds this helpful!

I haven't had it very long. Probably about 3 months but I will say it pulls moisture from my RV quite well. I have had no mildew smell or growth and I never see condensation on the windows. I don't think it is overkill for a 43" toy hauler and is performing exactly as advertised. I am very impressed so far. It is not too loud compared to the one that I used to have, either. I have it on the counter and run the continuous drain into my sink. I was running it with the storage container for a short time and it would should off when full and was very easy to remove and dump.

We bought the Kesnos 4500 Sq. Ft Dehumidifier in November of 2024 and found the unit to be very effective in controlling the humidity in our basement. It is quiet and works fast in dropping the humidity during the spring and summer months. One drawback on the 4500sq ft unit is the size of the water tank; it's very small but this wasn't important to us as we use the self draining feature so we never have to empty the tank. We liked the overall quality so much, we have purchased 2 other Kesnos brand units to use in other areas of our house. This particular unit ran daily from late March through mid-October each season without fail until a few weeks ago when it stopped drawing moisture out of the air. Kesnos customer service has been excellent in processing the warranty replacement since this unit was less than 2 years old and still within their 2 year warranty. Overall we are very happy with the products and especially the customer service - it's rare to find good service and/or a company that honors their product warranty - Kesnos does both.

We live in the South on a river. Humidity can be very high and cause some problems that dehumidifiers can really mitigate and so we use 2 in our home. This is the second dehumidifier we have purchased from Kesnos. The unit we bought over 3 years ago is still going strong. We did experience an issue with the second unit purchased last July but the incredible customer service rep was extremely prompt and professional in helping us resolve the problem….. very rare these days! These units are quiet, easy to move from room to room, and have a pleasing design. I am 70+ years old and have no problem emptying the water bucket when full. These units keep the humidity down and help so much with the “dankness” smell we sometimes experience after heavy rains. I rarely take the time to write reviews but this company makes an excellent product and their customer service goes above and beyond to stand behind their product. Highly recommended!

First, I chose this unit based on reviews, not only of the product but of the company itself. I noticed the difference in my homes air right away. So did my daughter. What difference this machine makes! I have use this everyday all day for almost a year now and something did break on it. I have no problem buying another, that’s how happy I am with the unit. I did write the company to see if maybe needed a new part or something could be fixed. I got the kind of customer service that is rare these days.. The company replied quickly and with true care and concern, they asked a series of questions and asked for photos and they came back with they would replace my machine as it seemed to be an internal issue. I have owned it now for about 11 months. Wow! I highly recommend this unit and this company that truly stands behind their product!

This is definitely a premier dehumidifier for smaller spaces. Been using it for about 5 months, and have had no problems or malfunctions at all. First off, mobility. It is very light and easy to pickup with the built-in handles. Once in the chosen destination, it can be pushed and spun around with ease since it has rotatable wheels. Second, noise. It is definitely quieter than my previous, larger dehumidifier, but it's not completely silent and you shouldn't expect it to be. If it sits in your basement near a room with a furnace or central air unit, one of those would likely be considerably louder and drown out the noise from this dehumidifier. The fan speed can bet set to high or low, and the high is noticeably louder, so I always keep it low. Third, panel control. Lots of settings to optimally adapt to your environment. The most useful of course is the humidity setting. I prefer to keep mine lower around the 30-40 level, which will result in more water being collected and hence more trips to empty the tank (unless you use the hose to automatically drain, which I don't), but it's worth it to keep the humidity low in the house. The only negative aspect of this dehumidifier is the position of the water tank itself. It is oddly placed in the back of the unit. So if you are looking at or adjusting the settings on the control panel and then need to empty the tank, you will have to rotate the unit, so the back will be facing you. Since I rarely adjust settings, I just keep the unit in that backwards position for ease. Bottom line is that this dehumidifier performs exceptionally well, is easy to maintain and use, and is affordably priced. The positives far outweigh the negatives, so I definitely recommend this unit and would strongly consider purchasing Kesnos products in the future.

This review is for the Kesnos PD08A-18 Dehumidifier which we purchased in June of 2021. The unit came well boxed for shipping, has a nice cabinet and setup/controls were easy to follow. We placed it in the basement which is about 2,000 sq ft. where the humidity was about 70%. We have a low-step in shower and set it on continuos run with the plastic hose draining into the shower. Dehumidified water started flowing quickly and within several days the humidity dropped to about 40%, which is fine. A small fan on the opposite side of the basement helped with airflow but the fan on the unit was strong and fairly quiet. The unit ran fine, occasionally cycling off for short periods after we adjusted the humidity setting to 40 but the resuming as it should automatically. This summer the fan ran strong but the humidifier wasn’t working. I emailed support and was pleased to get a response w/in 24 hours. After a few back and forth emails with diagnostic suggestions we’re told a new unit will be sent. All in all, a nice looking and efficient unit that did a great job with responsive customer service. Would buy again if all goes well. Will follow up with an addendum when the new unit arrives. The new unit arrived and works. However, in the final discussions about getting the replacement, I was told it was necessary for me to submit a positive review first. After they reviewed, they would send the replacement, which they did. That said, it was not w/o some strong arming for a positive review first. I would look elsewhere if I need another.

I bought this unit and registered it for an additional year. I have been using this dehumidifier in my basement and I am really pleased with its performance and features. It is well built and affordable. The drain hose option is a great feature. I highly recommend this product!
