Alorair Sentinel HD55 Dehumidifier Overview, Demo and First Impressions

Let's Take a Look at the Alorair Sentinel HD55 industrial dehumidifier. I'm sick of the residential units built by Frigidaire, Midea, Toshiba, GE, Honeywell sold by Home Depot and Lowes failing after a year or two.

I had the large LGR storm extreme. Rated for the square footage bldg we were using it in. Never got t humidity below 50%. We were getting regular readings of 40% with our residential GE models. They easily out performed these machines. Not impressed. Most of these glowing reviews are from people that got the machines for free. I paid for mine. It went back to Walmart this morning. As for they're 5 year warranty, Walmart offers an extended warranty for 4 year's for a small fee, so that removes Alorairs 5 yr. warranty. The pump was barely acceptable. About the same amperage draw as ours when operating. I can buy alot of cheaper dehumidifiers for $900, which is what i paid w tax. Our unit was $120 on sale. No, the regular units aren't for a crawl space, but i could make it work. Save your money, buy a good regular unit.

Looks like 10% of Amazon riviews are DOA or soon after, and any time buyers are asked to help "salvage" a defective unit or to send VIDEOS of malfunctions I say that seller needs to get with the program and just ship another unit. Imagine them telling you to install a new circuit board or capacitor!!? This is China's standard of customer "service"

Great review Rob. A definite must have for those who have basements or cellars. We save our water for plants.

I got this unit and it doesn't work as well as my regular units from Midea or GE or Frigidaire . Although I need to replace them every two or three years.. they function much better than Alorair. Shame on the YouTubers who are promoting junk products they never put to the test.

[Radiowild]

Looks like a really nice unit. I won't mention the brand I have, but I've had good luck with it (over 7 years old). Tip - If you buy from a chain, chances are good your appliance will be junk. Buy from the small business "Mom and Pop" stores that have been around. The service is better, and are more reputable.

Definitely a must if you have a damp cellar or basement. We have a gas heat pump so in the winter I need the opposite ! I love gas heat, but it will dehydrate your eyes and sinuses .
Hope all is well, enjoyed the video 👍

Very cool Rob! Great review! I might look into getting one of those next time mine kicks the bucket. Because like you i have to replace mine every 3 years or so....

I'm not even in the market for this, but this is a great video

[stresspro]

This looks exactly like my Baseaire AirWerx 55. Same features and warranty! Are they the same company?

[maddawg]

Does the exhaust from one of these need to be ran to the exterior of a crawl space or can it just exhaust to the inside?

[jeffborkowski]

been happy with it? has it been effective at keeping the humidity where you want it?

[ChiefL]

Sounds exactly like Ross from Friends! LoL

[Ransomed]

Thanks for the video. This looks like just the unit to replace my residential unit that - as you say gives out every couple years. Do you have any updates to your review now that you've had this for a year?

[mattfillman]

How hot does the exhaust from this thing make an area? Great vid btw.

[Ransomed]

In my unfinished basement there's no convenient way to run a vent tube. What's the draw back of just venting into the basement?

[invis]

My basement is about 1400sq and in the winter temperature is in the mid to high 50s do you think it will work? I have a high water table and my sump pumps run year round. Thanks for your video

How will central dehumidifier work if humidity is different in different rooms?

[katanimals]

I really need something like this but for the inside of my house for a smaller area. I don't like the all plastic crap ones that are on the market for inside of the home. I'm renting; I do not have the ability to put it in a crawl space. I need it in the bedroom. Especially for the winter. I've been searching and searching I just don't want to buy the $200 crap ones that almost always fail. I hope someone has an idea and they could give me a suggestion?!

[marafade]

For home application, if you run it in continuos and don't keep an eye on the water collecting container, you have a problem. That's the only issue I find with these over the more common units

[Jamesnebula]

This is clearly a huge step above domestic units however the compressor technology used on domestic units or any dehumidifier are generally long lasting. How many of us have fridges and freeezers, over 10 years old, Going strong. But this unit been reviewed looks excellent and you don't mess around with damp problems.
