We have a crawlspace in our house that we use for storage. We keep a dehumidifier running continuously all year to keep the humidity around 50% to prevent rusting of our metal items and dampness and mildew from forming. I have used many different manufacturers of dehumidifiers over the years and typically get about 2-4 years before the compressor finally fails. This failure always seems to happen outside the manufacturer’s warranty and I have to just buy another unit.In October, 2024 I decided to purchase the Aeocky 80 pint 4500 sqft based on their ratings and commitment to their 3 yr unit and 5 yr compressor warranty. The unit was set on the continuous setting and ran 24/7 in our crawlspace. For 8 months, the unit kept the humidity in the 48-52% range with no problems. In June, 2025, the unit stopped working properly and the humidity could only be maintained in the 70-75% range, little moisture was being removed from the air and ice was forming on the evaporator fins. I contacted Aeocky customer service to see what I could do about the non-working dehumidifier.Aeocky responded to my email the very next day. They asked me several questions about how the unit was operating, crawlspace conditions and for photos to help identify the problem and provide a solution. They decided that the compressor was not working properly and would replace the unit right away. 4 days after contacting Aeocky, they agreed that there was a product failure and sent me a new replacement unit. I received the new unit on June 13th and it is up and running with no problems.I must say that I was sceptical about their warranty protection and expected to be own my own to purchase another unit. They blew me away with their customer service, quick responses and commitment to fix the problem. I feel very comfortable that the unit is high quality and will perform as expected. It is so nice to know that if a problem does occur, the company will stand behind it! It is hard to find companies like this any more.

I have been through 6 or 7 dehumidifiers over just the past 11 years. None have lasted more than around a year, with some failing sooner. In every case they failed due to refrigerant leaks.When buying this latest one, I did a bunch of research before pulling the trigger and settled on this one specifically based on their claim that these are '[...] designed for No-Worry use for at least 5 years under normal transport conditions.' I'd say our use is very much 'normal', yet none have lasted long. They mention the type of compressor they use as well as using thickened, 7mm pure copper tubing. In addition to all that, the 3-year full-coverage and 5-year compressor warranties give me peach of mind that if the unit does fail, they will replace it with a new unit - new, not repaired or refurbished. The most important thing for me is a unit to works well and lasts so I don't have to keep buying new ones (what a waste of money and stuff ending up in landfills.)Beyond the above, the unit itself is awesome! It is by far the quietest I've owned when running on the 'low' fan speed'. The 'high' speed is substantially louder, but it's not an obnoxious noise - just the sound of air blowing. The compressor is extremely quiet. The controls are all backlit and very easy to read. Operation is simple. It has modes for maintaining a set humidity level, continuous, and an 'AI Auto' mode, which I believe adjusts humidity between 45%-55% based on temperature. It sets it lower when the room is warmer and higher when it's cooler. You can also adjust the lighting to one of four modes; 'off' (only turns on for around 10 seconds when you touch the control panel, 'bright - with the ambient light that shows humidity level', 'bright', and 'dim'.The unit is very compact; the smallest I've seen for this capacity rating. The water tank is also small, but I'm using continuous draining into a condensate pump, so I don't care about the internal tank. It comes with several feet of plastic tubing for this purpose. It's still pretty heavy, about the same as any other unit I've owned, but it has wheels and concealed handles for easy movement.We're using this in our fully finished, insulated garage that gets very humid in the Georgia summers. We have a lot of things stored in there and want to keep the humidity level moderate. Plus, we have our workout equipment in there and it's much more comfortable to work out in lower humidity.All things considered, so far, I love everything about this unit and I'm praying it really does last as long as they say it will. I feel confident in its quality build and even more confident in their warranty, which is the best I've seen for a dehumidifier, without having to purchase an extended warranty. For these reasons, I highly recommend this product.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This company has to have one of the top rated customer service in all of Amazon history!! They answered all 101 questions I had before I even bought their product and In great detail. I had a hiccup with the unit once I received it and they are super fast to get back with you and help you fix it. This is hard to find in a company now days. I will always purchase from them.Now, about the unit. What I like most of all about it is that it does NOT heat up your room like so many of the others do. It has a place were you can run a hose, so you don’t have to dump it (usually just for a Basement as you don’t want to see the hose inside your home lol). It is also pretty quiet compared to most others on the market. The only thing I would change is that I wish the bucket was bigger. I have to dump it multiple times a day, due to how humid my house is. But, I love it enough to over look that one thing. Heat generation:It does NOT make your rooms hotter like all of the other ones on the market. We have bought several and have researched the heck out of them. This one is our top pick!
