BaseAire 198 Pints Dehumidifier with Pump for Crawl Space, Basement, Portable AirWerx90X Commercial Dehumidifier for Whole Home, Intelligent Humidity Control, Auto Shut off Restart

Turning Funky Dungeons Into Dry Kingdoms
You ever walk into your basement and feel like you just hit a wall of sticky air? That’s where I was — mildew smell punching me in the face, damp air clinging to my skin. Then the BaseAire unit rolled in like it owned the place. Small enough to squeeze into crawl spaces but built like a little tank, this thing showed up ready to throw hands with humidity — and it won.Setup was laughably easy. I slapped it down, hooked up the drain hose, punched a couple buttons on the clean, no-nonsense control panel, and boom — working. Auto on/off? Check. Memory restart after a blackout? Yup. I didn’t have to babysit it, which is great ‘cause the last thing I need is another thing whining for attention. Gravity drainage worked perfect for me, but if you got a more complicated setup, it can still handle business with a pump assist.Cold snap hit? No worries. Auto defrost popped on without a stutter. No frozen coils, no breakdowns — it just quietly kept pulling gallons of water out of the air like it was on a mission. And for real, this thing doesn’t scream for attention with flashing lights or crazy colors — it’s got that tough, don’t-mess-with-me look, but still clean enough you wouldn’t feel embarrassed if company saw it.Before this, my basement smelled like wet dog and old sneakers. Now it’s bone dry, breathable, and not a mold jungle anymore. If your space feels like the inside of a gym bag left out in the rain, this unit’s the muscle you need to shut that down quick.

Crawl Space Is Now Fresh and Dry
I purchased the Airwerx55 to replace a Frigidaire unit that was crap. My 600 square foot concrete floor crawl space is 30′ by 20′ by 5.5′ tall. That is roughly 3000 cubic feet. Not a really large space but it was humid and very musty smelling. I started out at 66% humidity on a Wednesday and by Saturday it was down to 38%. I purchased the remote control unit that the company Baseaire offers for an additional $100.00. I recommend also getting the remote as it will make your life easier. I do not have to go down in the crawl space just to check the humidity.The build quality of the Airwerx55 is by today’s standards exceptional. It is compact but it looks industrial. You have the option of adding a duct to the discharge if you wish. It is Energy Star rated which is important. I purchased it mainly because it will function well even when my crawl space gets colder in the winter, as the space is insulated but un-heated. The unit has the capacity to keep humidity levels low in anticipation of temperature drops that would ordinarily raise the relative humidity. Again, It is a quality built unit that I am glad I took the time to research and purchase.

Excellent customer service
I purchased this unit (90X) for my crawlspace in March 2023. It does a great job of lowering my humidity from 84% down to 55%. After using for 5 months I noticed the humidity had gone back up into the 80s. I went down to check the machine and it was not running and it would not turn back on. I contacted customer service at Airwerx and immediately got a response from Sam in customer service. After describing the problem, they said it might be a loose wire or a failed circuit board. They sent me two circuit boards ( mother board and control board) free of charge. The boards were easy to replace and now my dehumidifier is running great! It is refreshing to see a company support their products!

Great machine
Skip the cheap products. This is every bit a superior product.
