Comments about Aprilaire Aprilaire 1750 Ductable Dehumidifier:
PRO'S - Quiet; easy to install; draws lots of moisture out of the air
CON'S - Could use a little better humiudity control dial; the one on the panel is a little touchy.

Comments about Aprilaire Aprilaire 1750 Ductable Dehumidifier:
I originally bought one of these for my daughters home with unbelievable results. This year with so much rain the musty oders were unbearable coming up from my crawlspace. Looking down there I found the space to have a light coating of water on the floor and soaked insulation etc. Testing the humidity with an expensive humidistat, it was reading 87%.(the one that came with the unit read the same) I had to jam this unit into the space but was able to do a nice job. After one week the humidity was down to 52% with no oders. Three weeks now and we are down to 45%, no water and insulation dried. I will be purchasing a third unit for my upstate farm house. This unit is expensive but when you see the amount of water being processed you will know it's doing the job along with a new oder free dryness inside the house. Note: Mine seems alot quiter than my daughters unit

Comments about Aprilaire Aprilaire 1750 Ductable Dehumidifier:
I have had the unit for a year now. I researched all products in this category including the option of the regular consumer dehumidifiers. I concluded that going with a unit that costs a little more and has better quality will be worth it in the long run. I ducted and wired it into my home's HVAC system. I may get a higher end thermostat to control it, but I am still investigating. Otherwise, it works quickly and keeps my RH at around 45%. The compressor vibrates more than I would like and wish it had more CFM (thus the thought of using a better thermostat to force the HVAC fan on). But those are minor cons and are not readily noticeable. It works efficiently. It comes on periodically and goes off at correct RH which I monitor separately. I also use a HVAC bypass humidifier to make sure the RH stays constant. After reading and experiencing the benefits of maintaining a the home's RH between 45 and 55%, I will never go back.

Comments about Aprilaire Aprilaire 1750 Ductable Dehumidifier:
We recently installed this unit in a large sealed crawl space for a client. I was impressed with the quality of construction and ease of installation. The unit is extremely quiet when installed with duct work. It is still to cool to really be in dehumidifier season, but we will soon see how well it performs.
Comments about Aprilaire Aprilaire 1750 Ductable Dehumidifier:
The unit works well and is MUCH quieter than inconvenient room dehumidifier. Overall comfort and convenience of maintaining normal humidity level in daylight basement is excellent. However, the cost savings in summer air conditioning are minimal at best. My electric bill is very similar whether I run humidifier only or humidifier plus AC.

Comments about Aprilaire Aprilaire 1750 Ductable Dehumidifier:
Absolutely Fantastic!!! I replaced one of those Plastic Dehumidifiers, which basically ran all day, and couldn't lower the humidity to anything less then 60%, driving up my electric bill $$$$$. Now my humidity levels in my finished basement are down to 50% and the system is intermittently cycling. I Love It!!!
My installation is ducted and I'm using the Remote Aprilaire Humidistat. Installation was a breeze. I highly recommend this product.

Comments about Aprilaire Aprilaire 1750 Ductable Dehumidifier:
My home has an oversized HVAC system for my 1800 sq/ft in hot and humid coastal NC. I have sturggled with 70%+ rh for years. Some rooms were as high as 80% rh.
I finally got fed up and bought this dehumidifier. The unit ran continuosly for about 2 weeks. I guess it was pulling at the moisture from my floors, walls, etc.
With the Aprilaire unit set at the midway point, or the "normal" setting, I have the humidity down to the low 40% rh throughout the house.
Turning up knob towards drier and I can get the rh down into the 20% range. This dehumidifier is awesome!!!!
I'm not a HVAC pro, but I did the install myself. With good insturctions, and a little common sense, the setup is a breeze.

Comments about Aprilaire Aprilaire 1750 Ductable Dehumidifier:
I live in a basement unit of 1880 sf. Set it up in the utility room. The day I started it humidity went from 66.5% to 61%, then 4 days later it is at a very comfortable 48%.
I would recommend this unit. I am very satisfied.

Comments about Aprilaire Aprilaire 1750 Ductable Dehumidifier:
For some time I've been using another large whole-house dehumidifier, but I recently had a chance to try this model out for a "test drive". The difference was night and day - the Aprilaire 1750 was able to quickly and aggresively lower the humidity levels in my 3000 sqft house to 40% (probably lower if I wanted to).
My old unit struggled to get the humidity below 57%, so I didn't have much hope for this unit. The first day that I plugged it in I saw the humidity drop into the 40's without effort. I cannot recommend this unit enough.
