180 PPD Commercial Dehumidifier with Pump, 6-Year Limited Warranty

I work in flood and mold remediation and picked this up for a small bathroom dry out. First impression was solid. It feels well built, not cheap, more like a compact piece of professional equipment than a consumer gadget. It’s also surprisingly quiet for the amount of air it moves, which is a big plus when you’re running equipment in a home. I ran it continuously for about 72 hours and it performed exactly how I needed it to. It kept consistent airflow the entire time with no issues, no overheating, and no drop in performance. For tight spaces like bathrooms, closets, or small rooms, this is actually a really practical option to supplement larger equipment or handle lighter jobs on its own. Setup was simple right out of the box and it’s easy to position where you need it. It also arrived quickly, which matters when you’re trying to respond to a job without delay. Overall, this is a dependable, no-frills unit that does its job well and is a great addition to the toolkit for smaller scale mitigation work.

This humidifier did an excellent job pulling the moisture out of the room. It works well. Very easy to use. It was a value for my money and really helped with the cleanup of a flood in the basement.

Purchased this unit to help dehumidify a finished space in my garage. The unit worked perfectly and efficiently dehumidifying the space. Then one day about 6 weeks into ownership it wasn’t running and was displaying an e5 code on the display. I unplugged the unit and plugged it back in and it ran for another day or two and then threw the same error code and stopped working. Now it won’t run for longer than an hour. I contacted the company and they requested a bunch of pictures and information. Sent them in an email and they never responded. So I called again they never “received” my email. They then provided me with a phone number to text my photos. So I did. Then they responded a few days later asking me for an image I had already sent them twice. So I sent it again. Waited a few more days no response. I called back and spoke with them and was told the agent assigned to my case was not available but they could see that there was an update to my ticket and that they would need me to ship the unit back. This unit is 2 months old and it isn’t functioning. I do not have the original packing materials and having to source packing materials and pay out of pocket for them to remedy this situation is ridiculous. I was told they would need this unit back before they ship a new one. This company and their products are a joke. As soon as they found out a unit that’s less than 2 months old is not working they should have shipped me a box with a return label and as soon as it was dropped off shipped me a replacement. Now I’ve lost the money I spent on this turd and had to buy something else to replace it because I can’t afford to not have dehumidification. Lesson learned. Buy an aprilaire from a local supply house who will back their products. Don’t buy random junk off amazon.

I recently started using this dehumidifier, and it’s been a lifesaver for keeping large spaces under control. The performance is no joke—it pulls a huge amount of moisture out of the air quickly, and the airflow is strong enough to keep an entire basement or warehouse feeling drier within hours. I’ve used smaller units before, and the difference in efficiency here is night and day.

This commercial dehumidifier has exceeded my expectations. It removes moisture quickly, even in large damp areas, and the built-in pump makes continuous drainage hassle-free. The unit feels well-built, operates reliably, and has helped keep my basement dry and comfortable. A great choice for anyone dealing with humidity, water damage, or flood restoration projects.

I purchased this dehumidifier to dry the wood in our crawl Space. For years, despite installing a vapor barrier on the floor (clay soil) and the foundation bricks, our annual termite inspections indicated the wood was too wet. We live in the Southeast, where it’s humid and the clay soil doesn’t dry out. The unit worked great and fixed our issue (moisture content decrease from around 20% to 12%). Fantastic! Then, about a month ago, the unit malfunctioned (error message was E5), after owning it for 15 months. The documentation says to contact the vendor. They told me it was out if warranty. The company has no local vendors to service the unit (We bought it directly from Alorair on Amazon, and their US headquarters us in Southern California. Their offer to me was 1) ship it to California—it weighs 78 pounds and pay the shipping and they’d repair it fir free and ship it back for free or 2) I could buy a new unit at 65% off the price if a new one (we paid about $1400 for it and. New ones from them on Amazon now sell for around $1100. I balked at shipping—finding a crate, hauling it back out of the crawl space, getting to a shipper, and shipping anything these days is ridiculously expensive. Not to mention, I live alone and 78 pounds is 2/3 my weight. I’m strong but my back is not. Additionally, I was not happy about having to spend anything for a new unit that failed after 15 months of operation. So I told them in several phone calls. To my surprise, the fellow from Alorair sent me a text and told me they had decided to send me a new unit. They did, and it arrived 2 or 3 days later! So I was very happy! I am still unhappy that it failed, that I have a bulky solid waste item under my house that will likely stay there for as long as I own the place, and that I had to ask more than once for what I considered to be fair service. However, if you have a problem with excess moisture, I recommend this product and am hoping I just got a lemon. In the end, they came through on the service, and I’m satisfied!

I purchased the ALORAIR Dehumidifier in September 2025. Let’s be honest, this is a commercial grade dehumidifier. It moves a lot of air, it pulls in a lot of moisture, and it’s built for large spaces. If that’s what you need, it delivers. It’s plug and go as advertised and it’s powerful. It’s *not* is a whisper machine and it’s not marketed as one. It pushes serious airflow and has high moisture removal rates. That said, the noise level is tolerable for the performance you’re getting. I ran into an error code5 about five months after purchasing the unit. This is where I want to give ALORAIR customer services some credit. Their support team walked me through a very methodical troubleshooting process, which I appreciated. I followed up with them by sending clear photos, step‑by‑step notes, and replicating their tests exactly. Based on that, they were able to identify a faulty temperature sensor on the coil and sent me a replacement thermistor. I installed it as instructed with ease, the error cleared immediately, and the unit has been running perfectly ever since. I also gained a better understanding of the unit through this process. Bottom line: - This is a large powerful machine. It works well. - Anything can have faults, it’s how you address and learn from those faults. - The fault I had, ALORAIR address and resolved systematically and swiftly.

I got this dehumidifier for a damp basement area, and it has been doing a great job. It pulls a lot of moisture out of the air and has made the space feel much more comfortable. The drain hose and pump are really convenient since I don’t have to keep emptying a water tank. It seems well made, works consistently, and handles larger areas without any issues. Very pleased with how it’s performed so far.
