I have used 34 Pint dehumidifier by Waykar; decided to put a small review to help you learn more about this dehumidifier capacity and capabilities.

Check out my review below, and I hope that it helps you make an educated purchasing decision.

Pros

Cons

Construction and Design

Featuring a rectangular shape with a sleek exterior with a glossy white finish, the Waykar PD160B Dehumidifier can complement both modern and traditional décors. We love the well-thought-out slanting front edge that gives this device a unique appearance. This unit consists of robust plastic housing that protects the internal components from damage, making it durable to provide you with the best bang for your bucks.

We appreciate the 30-day money-back guarantee that gives you a free testing period to see if you like the unit. This moisture extractor also features a one-year warranty, but you can extend it by an extra 12 months by registering your purchase with the manufacturer.

• Height— 20.9 Inches
• Width— 9 Inches
• Length— 12.2 Inches
• Weight—31.7 Pounds

The Waykar PD160B Dehumidifier is a considerably tall unit but boasts a small footprint, meaning that it will have a dominant presence in your rooms but without taking too much space. It’s also relatively heavy but features a retractable handle and four casters that make portability easy.

Power and Dehumidification Capacity

With a CFM of 112, the Waykar Dehumidifier can efficiently eradicate excess moisture from spaces as large as 2000 sq. ft. This unit is powerful enough to lower moisture levels by 34 pints per day.

Setup and Usability

Designed for your convenience in mind, the Waykar PD160B Dehumidifier comes fully assembled. All you need to do is plug the unit into a power source and make your preferred configurations. We love the digital touch control panel mounted on a slanting angle, making it accessible from the front or top. The control panel also features an LCD that provides real-time humidity readout.

• The vent flap allows you to direct dry air in multiple directions. With this feature, you may use this unit to dry your clothes faster by aiming warm air towards them.
• We love the timer that lets you schedule when the unit should turn on or off. With this feature, you can choose any number of hours between 1 and 24.
• With the intelligent humidistat, you can adjust your humidity settings, and the unit will operate automatically to ensure that your ideal moisture level is achieved and maintained. This feature allows you to select humidity levels anywhere between 35% and 85%.
• We appreciate the power outage auto-restart feature that powers on the unit and restores your previous configurations after power restoration.
• The two fan speeds help you increase or decrease the dehumidification rate depending on the amount of moisture you want to eradicate. We found the high fan speed very effective in providing quick dehumidification spaces like laundry rooms, kitchens, or bathrooms whose humidity rises significantly after use.
• We appreciate this unit’s comfort mode with which it extracts moisture when it exceeds 55% and stops when it goes lower than 45%. This feature allows the machine to provide comfortable RH levels in your home automatically.
• The continuous mode also comes in handy in extracting moisture throughout the day, making this unit ideal for overly moist areas like crawl spaces and basements.

Mode of Drainage

The Waykar PD160B Dehumidifier provided two methods of discarding the condensate, making it incredibly convenient to use.

Manual Method

This method involves removing the bucket from the unit and pouring out the condensate. The bucket can hold up to 0.66 gallons of water, meaning that it fills up several times a day. Let this not stress you as the unit comes with a sensor that automatically shuts the unit, preventing an overflow. It also boasts an alert light and alarm that spring into action when the tank reaches capacity.

The bucket pulls from the front, making it easy to access, as you don’t have to turn the unit around every time you want to empty the condensate.

Continuous Mode

If you don’t have time or don’t like the idea of emptying the bucket manually, you may utilize the continuous drain method that relies on gravity to pull the condensate out of the unit. This method involves connecting the complimentary drain hose to the port at the back of the device, just below the filter.

However, the continuous drainage method requires a floor drain. If you don’t have one, we recommend placing your unit on a stool and put one end of the drain hose into a large bucket.

Cleaning and Maintenance

To keep your Waykar Dehumidifier effective for a prolonged duration, you need to keep it clean at all times.

• This unit’s filter is reusable, meaning that you may dust it with a vacuum cleaner or compressed air. You may also clean it with warm water and a mild detergent once a month.
• It will help if you clean the tank every two or three weeks to keep mold at bay.
• We recommend dusting the air grilles to facilitate efficient airflow and wipe the unit’s casing with a damp cloth to maintain its natural sheen.

Key Take-Away

Energy-efficient and armed with an auto-restart and overflow protection function, the Waykar PD160B Dehumidifier is an advanced moisture extractor that will give you the best bang for your bucks. We love the adjustable air outlet flap that directs the air in different directions.

This device also supports customizable humidity control that helps with maintaining specific moisture levels in various rooms in your home.
