Basement Dehumidifier Review – Millennium Model

Dehumidifier review and reports on humidity control features

Editorial Notes:

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.
