Abestorm 198 Pints Commercial Dehumidifiers for Crawl Space, Basement

I recently invested in the Abestorm Crawl Space Dehumidifier to address the humidity issues in my home's crawl space and basement areas. This unit, boasting a substantial 70 PPD (pints per day) moisture removal capacity and an Energy Star rating for efficiency, has significantly improved the air quality and comfort levels in my home. The compact design of this dehumidifier makes it ideal for tight spaces like crawl spaces or basements where traditional units are too bulky. Despite its size, it's incredibly powerful and effective at maintaining an optimal humidity level, preventing the growth of mold and mildew, which can cause health issues and structural damage. One of the best features of this dehumidifier is the built-in pump and included hose, which allows for continuous drainage without the need for emptying a water bucket. This is a fantastic feature for places like crawl spaces where access can be limited. The pump efficiently moves water out, meaning the system can operate unattended for extended periods, which is a huge plus for busy homeowners. However, while the dehumidifier performs well, it's worth noting that it can be somewhat noisy when the pump activates. It's not overly disruptive, but if your living spaces are directly above the installation area, you might hear it during its operation. Overall, the Abestorm Crawl Space Dehumidifier with Pump and Hose is a robust tool for managing humidity in hard-to-reach and confined areas. Its energy efficiency, effective moisture control, and hassle-free operation make it a top choice for homeowners looking to protect their property from moisture-related issues.

I am very happy with this purchase. The first thing that impressed me was the care that went into the packaging. It was a box within a box, padded with foam sheets, corners wrapped with plastic protectors, well protected! Once all the packaging was removed the next thing I noticed was just the general appearance and look of quality, the paint finish was excellent, handle was very solid, none of the Phillips screw heads were stripped, the thing just looked really well made. Next as far as operating it, the functions were not entirely intuitive, I mean it was obvious how to turn it on but I did have to refer to the manual to make sure I understood the other functions. Fortunately the manual was clearly written so it was easy enough to figure out the rest once I had scanned it. After setting the desired humidity level, 50% in my case, I let it do it’s thing and shortly the water was practically pouring out of the gravity drain in my case, since I am not using the pump function. The unit has been cycling on and off since then just as it should and the humidity level in the space I placed it within has been steady. It is just slightly louder than I was expecting but still quiet enough that it hasn’t disrupted anyone’s sleep at night. Maybe just a small bit louder than a typical refrigerator. Fortunately the hum it makes is not annoying, so it’s fine. All told, it appears to be well built, the warranty registration was easy to do, and it functions exactly as advertised. So far a great product!

Worked fine for 6 months. now it just runs and blows air but doesnt condense any moisture. another dehumidifier hooked up beside it is pulling 2+ gallons a day so this shoild be doing something. and good luck finding instructions for the confusing buttons. calling the number and sending email gave no response. avoid this one

I bought this to lower the humidity in my 1400 sq ft basement. I purchase in September 2023 and it has worked perfectly. I had a sturdy table built for it so I could drain it into the washing machine discharge pipe. In April of 2025 (19 months of daily use) I noticed the filter was icing up. I cleaned it and it still iced up. The dehumidifier was still working, but had ice accumulated on the filter. I contacted Abestorm and they suggested a new filter and sent one that day free of charge! The new filter did not prevent the ice buildup so they requested I send the unit in for repairs. I did have to pay for shipping, but the company has a FIVE year warranty for their dehumidifiers. It was extremely pleasant and simple communicating back and forth with Abestorm Customer service. I am impressed with their company, service, and products. If you need a well made dehumidifier I recommend Abestorm.

I have nothing bad to say about this great dehumidifier. Keeps my crawl perfect humidity and a bonus of keeping it around 55 degrees when it was very cold outside. I have never seen the humidity above 50 since i put it in and it usually stays around 45 the majority of the time. It doesn't pull alot of power either and you can hear the water pump out when it kicks in.

Just moved into a new place and it was ROUGH!! Summer move = door open for a while letting all the hot air and moisture in. Will be noting that for future moves! After all moving was done I gave it some time but realized the humidity was too much to not handle with a dehumidifier, and this one is like INDUSTRIAL strength, it really got the job done and now I feel like if I ever have a friend in need, this will be what I lend them!

Works great and heavy-duty commercial grade, made of metal and not plastic. I use the gravity drain in my basement, but the pump feature is nice if you need it. I like that there is no bucket since almost no one uses a bucket anyway, it keeps the size smaller. The case of Merv filters that were free with this purchase was a nice bonus. I expect it to last a long time. I got frustrated with the residential grade dehumidifiers lasting 6-24 months (been through 5 of them in the last 8 years all different brands) and having to send them to the landfill because these are considered not repairable by the manufacturer. You can't even get parts for them if you want to fix it yourself. I don't expect to have any problems with this unit as it seems rock solid. However, if you look on the Abestorm website you will find that you can order parts for this unit should the need arise.

Installed in a 1200 sqft crawlspace that has fiberglass insulation between the floor joists and standard loose laid plastic vapor barrier. I sealed the vents. It brought the humidity overnight, which suprised me since it usually take a dehu several days to pull the excess moisture out of the wood. Very quiet. A little smaller and lighter than I expected. Have to be careful with the drain hose because it wants to lift up higher than the pan. I had to secure the drain hose, because it raised just slightly and water backed up in the unit and poured out shortly afer I set it up. Bus seems to be a great unit so far. seems to work effortlessly

Fonctione très bien mes je pensais que avoir un déshumidificateur plus puissante allant jusqu’à 120pint par jour, en fin de conte il est pas plus puissant que un 50 pint standard pour moin chère

Far superior to big box dehumidifiers. Solid and sturdy construction. Simple and effective controls. This unit is gravity fed into my sump pump well. Exactly what was desired. Extracts water from the air quickly. Once desired humidity level is reached it goes into standby mode, saving energy.
