Upgrade over the traditional!

I have had a dehumidifier that runs in my basement for the past 8 years. It does not run all the time, only when needed and mainly in the summer. However, it is loud and honestly hasn't been working that well lately. So when I saw this opportunity I bounced on it.
Unboxing was a breeze as was set up. I chose to use a hose and have the water feed directly into my sump. All I needed was a standard hose to connect (I got the one that was suggested from Lowe's on the dehumidifier product page). From there, I downloaded the app and set up the connection to WiFi. Note: This product, like a lot of smart home stuff, runs on the 2.4GHz band.
App set up was fairly simple. I did not have a ConnectLife account, so I created one. From there, I followed the instructions and that was about it. Controls on the app and on the device are very similar.
Build quality seems great. Unit is sturdy!
Dehumidifiers for the most part are a "set it and forget it" type of deal. Which makes a review a bit more challenging. What I will say is that I have had no issues with it running, it comes on an off when it needs to and is draining into my sump as it should.
The unit is not quiet by any means. Is it quieter than my old unit? Absolutely. But can I head when it kicks on? Yes. It's not obnoxious or anything, but anyone looking for a silent unit in this price range does not understand the complexity of a unit like this and what it is doing to remove water from the air.
Alexa integration wasn't easy. It simply will not connect through the Alexa app, at all. Other reviews on the Alexa app also support this. BUT if you visit Alexa on your computer, it connects instantly. Saying "Alexa turn off " works flawlessly.
Overall, this is a solid unit that I would easily recommend to someone looking for a dehumidifier in this price range. The app and Alexa integrations are nice to have, being able to check on the device from anywhere!
I received this product for a discount in exchange for my honest opinion
