Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Amcor AHD65E 65-Pint Dehumidifier with Electronic Controls
Customer Review: Frustrating to hook up to condensate pump
Summary: 2 Stars
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.
Customer Review: 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.Customer Review: Works perfectly

The dehumidifier has worked out well for my basement situation. Very pleased overall with my purchase.Customer Review: Amcor AHD65E Review
Summary: 4 Stars
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.

Using in the basement with continuous drain. Not to noisy, appears to be working, certainly less musty and damp since I have it installed. Using for about one month with no issues.
