Quick Specs:

Construction and Design

Despite being designed for industrial use, the Waykar PD1201B Commercial Dehumidifier features a modern design that makes it look presentable in any indoor environment, whether commercial or residential. This unit comes in a rectangular shape, finished with a crafty combination of black and white.

We love the solid-built chassis consisting of dent-resistant metal sheets that make this moisture eliminator incredibly durable. We also appreciate this unit’s copper motor that guarantees prolonged and effective performance. This moisture extractor comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee and a one-year warranty. You may also extend your guarantee to two years by registering the unit on the manufacturer’s website.

• Height— 34.3 Inches
• Width— 17.4 Inches
• Length— 23.4 Inches
• Weight— 112 Pounds

The Waykar PD1201B Commercial Dehumidifier is a large unit that will occupy a significant space in your warehouse, basement, or office. This moisture extractor is also extremely heavy, but its recessed handles provide a comfortable grip for two people to carry it from one room to another. We appreciate the four casters that make the unit extremely easy to move during placement or when changing positions, especially when cleaning the floor.

Power and Dehumidification Capacity

Armed with a high-grade compressor that provides 353 CFM, the Waykar PD1201B Commercial Dehumidifier extracts up to 296 pints of moisture per day without breaking a sweat. The high capacity moisture extraction makes it an excellent addition to humidity prone rooms like cabins or cottages located near large water bodies. This unit boasts an extensive coverage of 8000 sq. ft., making it perfect for maintaining ideal humidity levels in large warehouses, basements, cellars, and grow rooms.

• We appreciate the humidity and temperature sensor that monitors your indoor environment for moisture and provides you with real-time results. This unit comes with an auto-defrost function that prevents ice from accumulating on the coils. Thanks to this feature, you can comfortably use this moisture extractor in places whose temperatures dip down to 41°F.
• We love the error detection feature that provides codes to indicate an issue affecting the unit’s operation. This feature goes a long way in the timely restoration of the unit’s efficient operation, preventing unnecessary downtime.
• Despite the high-speed fans, this unit is considerably quiet when operating.
• We appreciate the air filter that traps dust particles from the air before reaching the coils where they’d otherwise accumulate and lower the unit’s effectiveness. The filter also ensures that you breathe clean air, which is especially important if you’re living with allergies or asthma.

Setup and Usability

The Waykar PD1201B Commercial Dehumidifier’s digital control panel is located on the front top right, making it easy to see the various settings while you go about your other business. The control panel also features a large screen that displays real-time RH levels.

• We love the timer that allows you to set the unit to operate for a particular number of hours between 1 and 24. With this feature, you can schedule the machine to run when you anticipate high humidity.
• This moisture extractor comes with an automatic humidistat that allows you to select a specific moisture level. With this feature, you can choose a suitable RH level for your intended application, between 10% and 90%.
• Thanks to the auto-restart feature with memory function, you can rest easy knowing that your unit will continue operating with your previous configurations after a power outage.
• We admire the continuous mode with which you can set this dehumidifier to provide non-stop moisture extraction from highly humid areas like crawl spaces or small factories.
• This unit also provides you with multiple fan speeds. Therefore, you can control the dehumidification rate depending on the amount of moisture in your indoor space.

Mode of Drainage

The Waykar PD1201B Commercial Dehumidifier supports the continuous method of discarding the condensate, which is particularly handy given its high moisture extraction capacity. To utilize this method, you need to attach the complementary 39.37-inch drain hose to the respective drain port.

This method relies on gravity, therefore, we think that integrated drain pump would be a good idea. If your location lacks a floor drain, we recommend placing the unit on a stool or table and using a large bucket to collect the condensate. You may also purchase an external condensate pump if your home is too humid.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Keeping the Waykar PD1201B Commercial Dehumidifier well-maintained is as easy as pie; only three parts require cleaning:

• The first part that you must clean regularly is the filter, which requires dusting with a vacuum cleaner. You may also wash it with soapy water if it becomes too dirty. We recommend undertaking this task when the filter-clean reminder light illuminates.
• Remember to clean the air sensor grille; you need to use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to dislodge dust particles or debris.
• It will also help to wipe the unit clean with a damp cloth once in a while, which will help to maintain its natural sheen.
• We also recommend storing the hose in its storage chamber when you’re not planning to use the device for a while.

Key Take-Away

The Waykar Commercial Dehumidifier commercial-grade capabilities and a charming appearance that makes it suitable for industrial and household applications. We appreciate the dent-resistant housing that maintains the unit’s overall appearance for a prolonged period.

You’ll also love the sensors that provide real-time and accurate results on the large LCD. This feature affords you an insight into the current temperature and humidity levels in your indoor environment.
