I bought a different Hisense one at Costco last year (the one with a pump) and use it regularly with a Wyze WiFi electric plug. I turn it on and off using the Wyze app from hundreds of miles away. Not a single problem so far.

For those unaware, a dehumidifier is the same thing as an air conditioner mechanically, it just doesn't direct the cold air and warm air the same way.

Window AC starts at the same price, so if you're able, you should get that instead. It will dehumidify as it cools and you'll be using the same amount of energy.
Huh? ACs have a refrigeration system to produce cold/cool air, which adds enormously to the power cost.

A dehumidifier pulls water out of the air by condensing the gas in a refrigeration system identical to a window air conditioner and collecting the condensation produced on the cold side.

Look up the wattage if you don't believe me: both dehumidifiers and air conditioners use the same amount when rated for the same square footage, with the window ac using a bit more for the fact that it has a stronger fan.

FYI, this same model just went on sale at Costco for $5 cheaper.

If you think you might need an AC, then I would definitely get an AC and not a dehumidifier. But a dehumidifier can remove more humidity from the air while using the same amount of energy as an AC.

If it's cooler in the room/basement that needs dehumidifying than it is outside, then the dehumidifier will run at a higher thermodynamic efficiency than an AC. Also, the dehumidifier will be designed for a lower drop in temperature over the evaporator. Both of these mean that the dehumidifier is better at the single task of removing humidity from the air.

We live in a fairly humid area and use a dehumidifier in combination with a central HVAC system and it's remarkable how big of a difference in comfort the dehumidifier can make, especially on days when it's not hot/cold enough for the central AC/heat to run continuously.

Do you run it continuously? Also in a multi-room house, do you run it in the room with the largest air return for the HVAC?

This time of year where the AC doesn't run except in fan mode with the exception of 2-3 hours a day where it's hot enough in the house, it can get very stuffy depending on the room. I run a smaller dehumidifier in the master bath which helps, but I'm leaning towards getting a larger one. The energy comment makes me think twice if these things are going to multiply my HVAC expense. Currently have a 5 ton Trane from 2018.

I bought the replacement on Amazon: "hOmeLabs 4,500 Sq. Ft Energy Star Dehumidifier for Extra Large Rooms and Basements (Renewed)". I rolled the dice on the renewed one, and it was brand new/never opened when it arrived 👍
