Comments about Thermastor HI-E Dry 100 Dehumidifier (4029730):
We purchased the Therma-Stor commercial grade product for the following reasons:
1.R-410a refrigerant vs R-22
2.5 year guarantee on compressor /sealed components vs 1 to 3 year guarantee by others
3.Simpler relay controls vs electronic controller
4.Published performance data available at reduced temperatures that we may see in our basement
5.Assembled in USA
We selected the HI-E-DRY 100 vs other ThermaStor models:
1.Has defrost timer function to allow operation at lower temperature. We expect to see 50 F in the basement in spring and fall months.
2.Published performance data available at the reduced temperatures that we will see in our basement
3.Commercial guarantee is simpler
4.Condensate pump is integrated in the design vs add on.
Comments about Thermastor HI-E Dry 100 Dehumidifier (4029730):
I have an incredibly wet, damp, cold basement in a house in the northwoods of Wisconsin. Condensation was a special problem; in the spring, I'd occasinally have 1-2 inches of water in the basement. I researched a variety of products, and this is the one that I chose because of its efficiency and ability to work in colder areas. Am I glad I did! It's great! I haven't gotten an electric bill yet, so I can't comment on energy efficiency, but everything else is great.
Comments about Thermastor HI-E Dry 100 Dehumidifier (4029730):
This unit is smaller than it appears in the pictures. However, it does take up a fair amount of room once you leave sufficient room behind the unit for airflow.
You may want to purchase the muffler, if you use this in an area where you plan on working.

Comments about Thermastor HI-E Dry 100 Dehumidifier (4029730):
We love the powerful, effective humidity control in our basement. The added muffler allows for undisturbed sleeping. We also have the added benefit of improved air circulation in our basement! No more worries of emptying buckets full of water multiple times a a day. The pump is powerful.

Comments about Thermastor HI-E Dry 100 Dehumidifier (4029730):
I use it in a small datacenter. It replace 3 less efficient units and uses less electricity than a single cheap unit. The unit is loud but still quiter than the other units and with the sound of the rest of the computer fans is un-noticable.
