Waykar 158 Pints Crawl Space Dehumidifier with Remote Control, Dual Duct

### Update 2 ### Received my replacement unit within 5 days of my requesting same. Waykar Customer service kept me informed of the process every step of the way and shipment arrived right on schedule. Unit I received was brand new with a manufacturing date of March 2022. Even this was above and beyond what I expected. I thought I would have received a refurbished unit and not a brand new one. I was able to simply disconnect the cables and duct work from my old unit and put the new one in its place; and once power was turned on it took only a couple hours to be down to my desired RH setting. Unit has been working flawlessly to keep my crawl space dry once again. Thank you Waykar customer service for all your help. ***Update: After working perfectly at keeping my crawlspace dry for 20 months the unit has had issues with frost buildup at the air intake. Upon contacting Waykar customer service and explaining the problem I was experiencing, they responded overnight and requested I perform a sequence of events and take pictures to help them determine what the problem may be. Upon completing this task and provided them the information they, once again, responded overnight and offered me several options to repair/replace my defective unit. I was very happy with how quickly and congenially their customer service helped me with addressing this issue and look forward to a quick turnaround on my replacement. I would still recommend this Waykar product to anyone who is looking to combat moisture in there crawlspace. ************ The thing that sold me on this unit was the large capacity and excellent price. The specs for this unit was much higher that other manufacturers costing hundreds more. The unit arrive quickly (Amazon Prime) and in good condition. This unit was replacing another dehumidifier from another manufacturer from 5 years ago in our crawl space. Some of the big differences I liked about this new unit was the remote control panel, remote humidity sensor, and the ability to use flexible duct work to redirect the exhaust side of the dehumidifier. THe installation was relatively simple with the only effort required to remove the old unit and lift the new unit up on the mounting bracket to hang it from the floor joists under the house. With the 10M remote cable I was able to run it out of the crawlspace and onto a inside wall of the Garage for easy monitoring. The old unit was installed a good 20 ft under the house from the crawlspace entrance and had no way of knowing if it was working or not. I really liked hanging the remote humidity sensor away from the unit more close to the middle of the crawlspace. THe only additional item purchased was a 20ft 6 inch flexible duct that I connected to the exhaust on the unit and had the discharge go further back into the crawlspace, which in my opinion made for much better airflow to remove more moisture in the crawlspace. I set the humidity level at 45% and check the control panel on a regular basis, since it is easily accessible from my garage, and I have seen the level rise to as much as 48% and within a short period of time lower down to 43%. On average it fluctuates around 45% as I would have expected. So, all in all the unit performs as advertised and I would recommend to anyone needing a crawlspace dehumidifier.

Great product had an issue with the original item I got never worked properly reached out to them and within a day or two of me trying to troubleshoot which I have no problem trying to do instead of just having a new one sent it's just understandable. They ended up sending me a brand new one very quickly so within a week I was up and running new one works amazing pulls out a lot of moisture on the first day it's been running pretty much non-stop for about 15 hours and started out around 65- 66%. It's now down to 45%. You might think that took a long time to come down that far but that is a lot of moisture actually being pulled out of the air the first hour or two I had it running. It pulled almost a quart of water into a bucket so it really does pull a lot of water out of the air. It will be interesting to see once it gets it down to the desired percentage which is 45% for me because I think the gauge might be off by 3 or 4% as my other humidity tester shows a little bit higher humidity than this does so that's why I set it at 45% instead of 50. But it'll be interesting to see how often it Cycles on and off once it reaches its desired point. Oh one last thing since I installed my return hose from my dehumidifier into the return of my HVAC system I installed a flap on the mounting point to the HVAC so that way when the dehumidifier isn't running the HVAC isn't pushing air back through the dehumidifier

I purchased this dehumidifier about 14 months ago, and it worked very well and as advertised through last summer and the beginning of this summer. Unfortunately, the unit recently began to fail and was no longer performing as it should. While I'm disappointed that it failed prematurely, I want to give Waykar credit for standing behind their product and honoring the warranty. Their customer service was responsive, determined that the unit needed to be replaced, and is providing a replacement under the warranty. I'm willing to give Waykar another chance and hope the replacement performs as intended and provides a longer service life. I appreciate the company standing behind its product and making things right.

Well built product for the cheap price. Need more time to truly test, but so far it’s removing moisture from our new home. If it dies, I’m buying AprilAire unit next… install was straightforward by my wife & I.

This is a cheaply made unit. Did not impress me at all. The remote especially. I installed in crawlspace that has moisture issues because of air hanlder creating condensation. The unit ran great till it didn't. Brought down levels from 85 rh to 60 rh in 2 days. Then quit working after a week. Displayed an EP error code. Book says to return unit to manufacturer. So I did. And bought an alorair instead. Also remote had scratches on it out of box. And broken feet!

I purchased a Waykar 190-pint dehumidifier in July 2025 for a large basement area. During the humid summer months, it performed very well and consistently kept moisture levels under control. The continuous drain feature worked well, and the unit removed a significant amount of water. After being shut down during the winter, the unit did not function properly when I restarted it the following spring. While that was disappointing, I contacted Waykar support and was impressed by how quickly they responded. They reviewed the issue promptly and offered a replacement under warranty. Since my original model was no longer available, they offered an upgraded replacement unit. One factor worth mentioning is that my basement is quite large, and the original unit often ran for extended periods during the summer. Because of the size of the space and my desire for additional dehumidification capacity, I purchased a second Waykar unit rather than relying on a single dehumidifier to handle the entire load. In my experience, customer service is just as important as the product itself, and Waykar has been professional, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the warranty process. Pros * Strong moisture removal performance * Continuous drain option * Easy setup and operation * Responsive customer support * Company honored the warranty without hassle Cons * Original unit developed a problem within the first year The fact that I purchased another Waykar unit while working through the warranty claim should tell you that I still had confidence in the product and the company.

I have had this installed for 3 months now and I like it a lot. I use it as whole house dehumidifier and have it plumbed into my 4 ton unit which seems to cycle on and off to frequently, slightly oversized is the root cause but now I have to deal with the interior cooler box humidity issue since the blower does not stay on long enough to dry it out and that is even with the fan on continous. With this placed on a dedicated return duct in my basement blowing into the unit with the humidistat placed in the cooler box, it stays nice and dry and I can read the humidity. It has cured all the moisture and mold issues that crep up in summer months inside the unit. Now if it lasts longer than the cheap toshiba units from HD I will be more than happy.

After trying several consumer dehumidifiers from GE, Frigidaire, and hOmeLabs, this is the first unit that consistently reaches and maintains my target humidity level. My previous, smaller units typically failed after one season. I bought this Waykar crawlspace dehumidifier to cover a combined basement and crawlspace of about 1,600 square feet. It is large and heavy, but quieter than my previous consumer models. Because it maintains humidity so effectively, it runs much less often. Long-term reliability is still the key question. If it continues performing this well over multiple seasons, I’ll be very satisfied with the purchase.

We purchased this Waykar dehumidifier in September 2021. The unit received was in immaculate condition and has always worked well, keeping our basement dry and odor free. Must say that the device does not contain a water tank which makes it very compact. The air filter is easily cleaned with a vacuum cleaner or under water. To get it working, simply press the start function then set the desired humidity level on the touchscreen and you're done! really easy to use. This dehumidifier is mostly designed to be connected to an existing home ventilation system or can be used as is without any problem like in our basement. I should mention that a few days ago the device started showing signs of frost on the heatsink. So we contacted Waykar and Bonnie from customer service got back to us right away. Customer support is fast, efficient and above expectations. When registered within 14 days of purchase, the warranty increases from 1 year to two years. We have no hesitation in recommending this product.

I purchased this unit about a year ago. The unit is solidly build with a metal frame and metal sides. Compared to my older floor based dehumidifier this unit throws a great deal of air, making it ideal in large room or crawl spaces. The unit is meant to hang from the ceiling so I just went to a big box store and purchased some threaded rod and hung it from the rafters. It worked great and you could easily make it perfectly level. The unit came with the humidity sensor on a long cord and the control unit on a long cord. At some point I will mount the control panel outside my crawl space but for now i just leave on top of the unit. After about 11 months I has some technical issues and support, while over email, was very good. They asked detail questions and provided detail instructions on how to resolve which included pictures and at one point even a video. I am still very please with my purchase.

Our Wakar 155 pint dehumidifier effectively has maintained our 2000 sq. ft. crawlspace for over a year now, to become a dry and comfortable space; we previously had some mould issues and they are now completely gone! Quiet, effective and at a great value! Kirk Dewar

Purchased this product and it looks well-built. It worked great for a few months, however, it started to freeze up. I contacted Waykar Customer Service and explained my issues. They reviewed the problem, made some suggestions and made things right. The system is up, running again and working as it should drying out my crawl space. Excellent Customer Service and a great product. This company stands behind its product.

I bought this dehumidifier for my 1000 sq./ft. crawlspace and it has no problem keeping the humidity at 50-55%. It's been running 24/7 since 2021. I had an E2 error with a sensor but Waykar support was fast to respond and had no issue sending me out a replacement sensor. All and all really happy with this dehumidifier and Waykar support.
