The two systems for collecting condensation include either discharging moisture continuously with the water-reservoir bypass system or collecting moisture in the large tank. An audible signal and flashing LED alerts when the tank is full, while automatic overflow protection turns the dehumidifier off until the bucket is emptied. Other features include auto defrost and SmartTouch digital control, humidity display, and electronic sensor, which measures how much humidity is in a room then works just enough to counter it.

The dehumidifier measures approximately 26 by 14 by 16 inches and carries a two-year limited warranty. --Catie Unger

Quiet and it works:
I have a small office, maybe 7 x 12, with a couple thousand books in it. The airconditioning is turned off at night, and the high humidity that results has for years made my office smell like it's rotting for four months a year.

The Bionaire BDQ24-UC dehumidifier unit impressed me for a month - until it stopped working competely. The 30-day period had just expired so it was not possible to return the unit, however on contacting Bionaire directly and explaining the problem, they graciously agreed to send me a replacement unit. Hopefully, the new unit will last longer, but I can certainly vouch for excellent customer support from Bionaire should you encounter problems yourself. I found the unit more effective when set specifically to... more info
Terrible customer service:
The compressor failed on my unit within the warranty period.

All I had to do was cut off the power cord and mail that in. Sounds good right? Wrong. It took another several email requests to get them to give me the address. I mailed in the cord and again nothing.... more info
