After using the ANDTE 34 Pints Dehumidifier for several months in my basement, I can confidently say it's a lifesaver for anyone battling humidity. The compact design is surprisingly powerful, pulling moisture out of the air like a champ.

The smart humidity control is my favorite feature - I set it to 50% and forget about it. It automatically adjusts its operation to maintain perfect conditions, switching between high and low fan speeds as needed.

While the manufacturer claims coverage for 2500 sq ft, I found it works best in spaces up to about 750 sq ft. In my 800 sq ft basement, it keeps humidity levels consistently between 45-50%, eliminating that musty smell we used to have.

The noise level is comparable to a quiet box fan - about 38dB on low setting. It actually serves as pleasant white noise in my home office where I keep it running during the day.

The small water tank (0.52 gal) does fill up quickly when running continuously - about twice daily in humid conditions. Thankfully, the included drain hose solves this issue perfectly when connected to a floor drain.

One unexpected benefit? The dry clothes mode works wonders on damp laundry during rainy periods. I've saved multiple loads from that 'wet dog' smell thanks to this feature.

The automatic defrost function prevents ice buildup during colder months, making it truly year-round reliable. And at this price point, it outperforms many more expensive models I've tried.
