Love this dehumidifier! Makes my life easier.Okay, so I don’t usually leave reviews, but I just have to say — I love this Waykar dehumidifier. It has made such a difference in our basement and even upstairs when it gets muggy.First of all, it’s really quiet. I was worried it would be loud and annoying, but honestly, you hardly even notice it’s on. I can still hear the TV or have a conversation without yelling over it, which is a big deal for me.I also really like that the water bucket is big, so I’m not having to empty it constantly. And when I do need to empty it, it’s super easy to slide out and carry to the sink. I’m all about things that don’t make more work for me!We ended up hooking up a hose to it so it can drain by itself, and let me tell you — best decision ever. Now I don’t even have to think about it. It just does its thing and keeps the air nice and dry.Oh! And it has wheels, which is awesome because I’m not trying to lug this heavy thing around the house. I just roll it where I need it, and done.All in all, this little machine is a lifesaver. It’s quiet, easy, and just works. Honestly, anything that makes the house feel better and saves me time is a win in my book!And even my husband noticed the other day — he walked downstairs and said, “Wow, it actually smells good down here now.” So if he noticed, you know it’s working!

★★★★★ Still Impressed After a YearI bought the Walker JD025CE-120 dehumidifier last summer, and it’s been flawless from day one. Setup was as simple as unboxing, attaching the drain hose, and plugging it in—no tools, no fuss. Within hours it pulled the humidity in my living room down from a muggy 65 % to a comfortable 45 %, and it’s kept it there ever since.Why I’m a FanRock-Solid Reliability: Runs every day without a single glitch or error code.Effortless Maintenance: The washable filter and continuous-drain option make upkeep a breeze.Quiet & Efficient: Humms softly in the background and hasn’t nudged my energy bill.Set-It-and-Forget-It Controls: The digital panel lets me pick a humidity level and walk away—no constant tweaking required.If you’re after a dependable, easy-to-set-up dehumidifier that keeps working long after the warranty card is filed away, the JD025CE-120 is an excellent choice.

It's a nice dehumidifier. Comparatively more quiet, more efficient and cheaper than many others. Only downside is such a small tank capacity.In my situation I needed to put it into a store room that had no drain. So placed it on a table* and led the drain tube into a 5-gallon bucket. But I also made an automatic shutoff (shuts power off at the electrical outlet to the unit, OR you could also wire it into the unit itself) using a float sensor, low voltage relay switch, low voltage power supply and small power strip.All inexpensive parts, and you can assemble your own shut -off if you don't empty your bucket when it's full (you can use any size bucket you want). I mounted my float switch in a 14-inch x 1 inch wide x 1/8 inch thick piece of aluminum stock (hole drilled in, can use wood) so I can very easily just remove it (it lays across top of bucket) it and put aside across a smaller container/bucket as I empty the bigger bucket. (You can also use the bucket lid or attach it some other way if you want.)I consulted Grok for parts list, instructions and wiring diagram. I don't have any specialized skills.So now I can use a small quiet cheaper dehumidifier in a place where there's no drain. And not have to lead long hoses, use a separate condensate pump, or drill holes in walls to reach the next room, etc.We shall see how the Waykar works out but so all is well. Even without the float sensor gizmo, the 5-gallon bucket idea is one that anyone can use immediately. Just see how long it takes to empty a certain amount of moisture from the air in the room and easily calculate how long you have until your chosen bucket reaches full (which I did the first week).Either way it works well.* PS: I removed the 4 caster wheels. Also, I plan to move the dehumidifier to a slightly different position on a bit lower platform to free up the table and perhaps gain a few percent "humidity sucking at a slightly lower altitude" but that's neither here nor there. Main thing is that you can set up with a bucket right away, and come back if desired with the rest of the plan later.
