Danby DDR030BJWDB vs TCL TDW40E20

I can deal with that, though. I just run it at night. The dehumidifier is in a basement apartment (my basement apartment) and I like a bit of noise at night. It's actually quite soothing! That is, until the bucket fills up

We've had a problem with the master bedroom being 10-15% more humid than the rest of the house which we have not been able to fix, so our next option was to buy a dehumidfier. This product does work well but it is loud and I cannot use it at night. Actually, I can hear it running from other parts of the house, it's that loud. The only other issues is lights

it is too big of a pain to return, so we'll be trying to sell it locally. We were hoping this would help reduce the humidity in our master bed and bath, however when running it gets very warm, which results in our bedroom heating up significantly, which in Texas is not ideal. We were hoping to return it, but the seller doesn't make it very easy, especially since they didn't double box it when they shipped it, it was boxed simply in the manufacturer's box. Perhaps if you're in a more moderate climate and only using this in a basement or something it would be fine, but the heat it kicks off seems like it would be a pretty big negative for most common uses

Previous dehumidifiers have pulled 20-25 pints/day from the same area. The problem is compounded by the response I have gotten from TLC. They keep wanting to “troubleshoot” the problem, even after two long phone conversations. The last suggestion was that I send it back for repair

I have a 1500 sq ft open concept basement and this dehumidifier has made the difference between comfortable,dry and musty and damp for a very reasonable price. I can understand how a direct to drain hose would make things easier but not essential.

Sad that a brand new dehumidifier, which had good reviews on Amazon, didn't even last 3 whole months. Not to mention, I had to go through the hassle of disposing of the unit at the local recycling center, which cost me $15, plus the $29.99, for a 4 year extend warranty which I'll never be able to use.

Small straight forward unit to operate. And the water collector is easy to remove and dump and put back. We have had several units over the years and cycling out the WC could be problematic. This one is a breeze

Removes half-gallon of water from 1800 s.f. Space daily. You need to empty it daily to keep it running

I bought this in June, 2020, it stopped dehumidifying in October 2020. Apparently, all these dehumidifier last only one season. This is my third dehumidifier in a raw that lasted one season only.

This works for about 3 hours, then the dehumidifier starts blowing cold humid air once again. I'll try support again but expect a replacement will be just as bad. This is the last TCL product I ever buy.
