Can anyone recommend a quite/quality dehumidifier in the 50 to 70 pint range for an 800 sqft basement?   Thanks

We have a couple of Frigidaires in two distinct 700 to 1000 sf locations. We leave one on almost continuously and it drains by hose into a sump pit. We use the intergral reservoir for the one at the place with no drain. Both work very well. I’m fond of a hum sound, but I’m not sure where you stand with noise. I find these quieter than a fan when the compressor is on, but noisier at start up.

I just bought the Sunpentown SD-65E for my basement, which is also around 800 sq ft.  So far it has worked really well and is relatively quiet.  Within the first couple of days the humidity went from 80% to 35%.  Definitely recommend it.  Got it from Amazon.

Start with a basic question: Do you have a floor drain or do you need/want a dehumidifier with a pump?
