We
were eager to test this low temperature dehumidifier because there
are very few residential low temperature dehumidifiers available.
We are pleased to announce that this low temperature dehumidifier
does the job and does it well! We loved the LCD electronic control
panel and the ability to set your own desired humidity level.

Pluses:
- This dehumidifier works down to 50°F while most
similarly priced units sold in retail stores operate only down to
65°F
- This is the only unit we have seen in the residential
market with a programmable humidistat and temperature display
- In addition to removing moisture from the air, these
dehumidifiers filter the air, and offer an easy to remove washable
filter. Indicator lights will tell you when to clean the filter,
and this feature is not available on other competitor models such
as DeLonghi.
- There are 3 drainage options - either use the bucket,
garden hose or the direct drain. The drainage bucket is in the front
of the unit and the drainage hose access is under the front of the
bucket.
- Slightly lighter in weight than other units in the
market and rolls easily on 4 casters
Minuses:
- The units are somewhat heavy to bring up and down
stairs
- The plastic dehumidifier unit housing is a bit thinner
than we would have liked but will not rust
- The bucket needs to be carried with two hands when
carrying to empty it.
- It does not come with a condensate pump. We did
find an auxiliary pump that works well with this dehumidifier that
we offer as an accessory.
- No duct kit is available so you have to run the dehumidifier
in the room you wish to dehumidify.
Summary:
These Millennium Low Temp dehumidifiers offer easy to
use, lower temperature operation at an affordable price! The electronic
control display with a humidistat you can set to your desired humidity
level set these dehumidifiers apart from the crowd. We tested them
in New England during the winter and found the low temperature operation
to be accurate. We were hoping for more humidity, but this winter
it was hard to find. We had to add our own water to the basement room
and the unit performed up to our expectations.
