Kenmore Dehumidifier Review

The Kenmore 50 Pint Dehumidifier is an average quality product that will remove moisture from the air, but it does so at a cost of high energy comsumption and therefore high electric bills.  The dehumdifier has worked well for about 3 years and it does enough to remove the moisture from my finished basement and leaves it feeling noticeably drier.  The product is fairly quiet while running, and can be set in many different modes such as six hours on and off, or three hour intervals, and you can also set the humidity level that you would like the room to settle at.

However, it is far from an energy star appliance.  When I use it a lot I notice a significant increase in my electric bill, and it can add up pretty quickly.  I would also recommend trying to use the included hose so that the humidifier can be emptied automatically and directly into a sump pump, if that is an option for you.  Carrying the container up and down steps to empty it every other day or so can become bothersome.
