Excess humidity in the air can cause basements to be smelly, musty and noticeably damp. Nobody wants to go there, play there, be there. Excess humidity can damage basement furniture and furnishings, cause wood to swell and fabric to rot. Stored items grow mildew and wall paneling peels.

This dehumidifier did the trick!
By Windy City BillVerified Purchaser from Chicago, IL on 5/22/2008
Pros:
Easy To Assemble
Best Uses:
Basement
Describe Yourself:
Practical
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

We lived for years with moderate humidity problems in our basement which made it tough to use the space for a family room, or for storage. We've tried using smaller dehumidifiers from Sears, but they just run all the time and don't do a great job.

We finally decided to spend the money and get a large dehumidifier for the entire basement. After quite a bit of research we settled on the Aprilaire 1700FS primarily because it was claimed you could just plug it in and go (which is true, by the way - it was a breeze to install).

After installing the unit our humidity issues disappeared in just a few days. The air downstairs is just as fresh as the air upstairs, and we're comfortable storing holiday decorations and family photos in the basement.

The Aprilaire 1700FS is pretty quiet (you have to really focus if you want to hear it running in the unfinished part of the basement), and was a really easy way to make our basement usable again.
