Aprilaire 1710A Dehumidifier Product Reviews

What I like about the Aprilaire 1710A

The best feature of this dehumidifier is that it is portable and powerful. Steel construction lends itself to greater durability and use in crawlspaces, but casters make it easy to move. The water removal of 90 pints per day is under AHAM conditions but while testing in more humid conditions, that extraction rate will surpass the stated AHAM measurement.

An internal humidistat will automatically sense moisture levels to maintain optimal humidity levels and and control dampness, mildew, mold, fungi, dust mites and odors. The Aprilaire 1710 model operates down to 40F and also features a replaceable air filter that provides some filtration of dirt, dust, and other large particles.

This model is actually fairly quiet while operating, and does NOT significantly add to your monthly power bill.

Something that makes the Aprilaire 1710 dehumidifier unique is that like all Aprilaire models, it is one of the very few dehumidifiers that is still made domestically.

Lastly, the 5 year warranty surpasses that offered by most other dehumidifier manufacturers.

What I did not like about the Aprilaire 1710A

As with all Aprilaire dehumidifiers, I wish it had a hygrometer on board rather than just a 15 position turn knob. The other drawback to this model is you must have a condensate drain line or floor drain nearby since the 1710 uses not bucket or condensate pump (just a simple P-trap with drain hose).

Overall, the Aprilaire 1710 dehumidifier is a great buy for removing large amounts of moisture from your basement or crawlspace. The moisture extraction, usability, construction, and durability are all key features that set the Aprilaire 1710 well above other portable dehumidifiers.
