STAY AWAY!!!!!!:
Stay away, the Amcor dehumidifier fan option of low/high only worked on low, then the fan quit altogether and overheated. When I called the manufacturer for help, they said to call around to find someone to work on it. When I went thru the phone book to find someone to work on an Amcor product, they all said they can't and cannot get parts for it. so I am stuck with a broken product. It's pretty bad when the manufacturer won't help. Look for a different brand!!!!!!


Frustrating to hook up to condensate pump:
The hose that came with the unit to drain the tank was very flimsy and leaked at the connection. While the connection appeared to be able to fit a standard washing machine hose, it was impossible to tighten it because the opening in the bottom was too small. We ended up affixing plastic drainage tubing directly to the nozzle and tightening it up with a hose clamp, then running that out through the hole in the bottom, bypassing any drainage into the tank completely. This unit should operate fine now, but it's probably a better choice for those that intend to empty the tank manually than those that want to drain into a pump or directly into a drain.


Amcor AHD65E Review:
Although the unit was slightly damaged during shipment, the unit works as expected. The manufacturer could use some shipping foam to better protect the unit. The included instructions are useless and best discarded instead of trying to decipher. Getting the included drain hose through the bottom of the unit takes some doing but otherwise no complaints there either. The unit is very noisy BUT when it is in the basement like mine, who cares. If some of the noise works its way up stairs, possibly through the furnace duck work, try relocating the unit. It consumes a lot of electricity but it also removes a lot of moisture from the air. Update, After having the unit for many months, I found out that it made a significant increase in my electric bill but it did remove a tremendous amount of moisture. The unit basically never shut off. After placing a another humidistat next to the unit, I found out that the one on the unit did not read accurately. If you try to compensate by setting the unit for a higher humidity, the unit cycles on and off constantly ... off for only a few minutes. I have turned the unit off for the winter and I am considering getting a separate humidistat to control the unit for the spring and summer. I can not give this unit a good recommendation.


Works perfectly:
The dehumidifier has worked out well for my basement situation. Very pleased overall with my purchase.


Not bad, not bad at all:
After researching dehumidifiers, I decided on the Amcor AHD65E. After having used ancient, electricity sucking dehumidifiers, the noise on this unit doesn't seem bad at all. I do wish it was a bit quieter, but it is what it is, and it REALLY does its job. I would recommend this product.
