Power and Dehumidification Capacity
The Vremi dehumidifier operates at two dehumidification modes, namely high air turbo CM 138 and normal air CFM 129, which maximizes its ability to remove moisture and odor from the indoor air.
The turbo speed will come in handy when looking to dry the indoor air expediently while the normal speed is perfect for quieter performance, particularly when most of the moisture has already been extracted. Armed with a 3-liter water tank, this dehumidifier can comfortably hold up to four gallons of moisture, which implies that its best used for spaces no larger than 1000 SQ FT.
In addition to removing unwanted moisture from the indoor environment, this dehumidifier also keeps the air within a home clean thanks to the removable filter that catches any detrimental particles like odor-causing bacteria, mold spores, and dust.
- Turbo mode increases fan speed from Normal Air CFM 129 (cubic feet per minute) to High Air CFM 138 for maximum.
- Auto-Defrost Feature – We can’t confirm as we could not check it during our experiment. However, the manual did state: when frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the compressor will cycle off and the fan will continue to run until the frost disappears.
- 22 Pint is Capable of Extracting 4 Gallons/Day.
- Tank Capacity: 3 liter (0.8 gallons).
- To ensure optimal performance of this device, users will want to clean the filter every month. The light indicator comes in handy in reminding users regarding cleaning the filter after 250 hours of operation.
- The Vremi 22-pint dehumidifier can operate on a 24-hour cycle, and the device switches off automatically when its tank can hold no more moisture.
- Its energy star certification makes it an excellent choice when looking to cut down on power consumption and the associated energy bills.
Setup and Usability
Operating the Vremi dehumidifier is pretty easy thanks to the easy to read controls situated at the top of the unit.
- Make adjustments on the device by turning off the continuous operation mode that presets by default.

- The Vremi 22-pint dehumidifier features a comfort button that automatically sets ideal humidity levels based on the room temperature, eliminating the need to adjust it manually.
This dehumidifier also comes with a removable tank that comes in handy when users are looking to empty it with ease. Homeowners may also opt to attach a hose to the integrated drain outlet and enjoy continuous drainage. Thanks to the turbo mode, users can select their desired fan speed depending on the moisture levels in their indoor environment.
We Noticed: Running the Vremi dehumidifier on turbo mode all the time causes increased electricity bill.

Can this be set up on an external timer to repeatedly cycle on every day for 12 hours and cycle off for 12 hours? I have a drain hose hooked up to it to drain into a sump pump.
