Does what it''s supposed to do
Reviewed by: A satisfied allergy sufferer from Illinois
I recently purchased one of these units. To date, I haven't had any problems with it, and our old basement is as dry as it's ever been in years. No more excessive moisture and no more smell! The lack of a hygrometer doesn't bother me. That was one of my initial concerns, but now it's not. The construction of this dehumidifier seems more "industrial" than other units I've had. I can honestly say it's done what it's supposed to do!

I would recommend this product to anyone who has a problem with a damp cellar, mold, or breathing problems. Thank you Aprilaire.
The Best Dehumidifer On The Market

I was a bit skeptical about purchasing the Aprilaire 1710A Dehumidifier. I have had 2 different dehumidifiers in our basement over the past 5 years. Our basement is very & musty smelling and the less expensive dehumidifiers lasted only about 2 years each.
What a difference with the Aprilaire. Not only is my basement dry with no musty smell, we got a great price from achoo allergy the best price on the internet. It is a heavy, sturdy dehumidifier that gets the job done. I hope it lasts for years to come. I guess it's true that you get what you pay for. I would recommend this product to friends and family. I give it an A+.
Customer Q & A
Q1: Just an FYI....I purchased an Aprilaire 1710A from you for my unheated cinderblock basemant, your website lits the operating conditions as from 40 to 105F, the owners manual of the 1710A list the operating conditions as from 50 to 105F. Because the basement is unheated, I could possibly fall below the 50F operating recommendation. My unit is running great, but I think your spec. page should reflect the 50F rather than the 40F you have listed. I appreciate your fast and courteous service. Sincerely, Craig Wuennecke
A: Thanks for pointing this out! This likely needs to be explained a little better on the page.
Manufacturer specifications are sometimes NOT as accurate as you would hope. Danby, for instance, rates their 70 pint dehumidifiers for removing 70 pints of water per day. We have tested this model to far surpass that amount under more humid summer conditions. Conversely, they rate the model for several thousand square feet in terms of coverage. This, again is not accurate, as dehumidifiers are best rated in terms of air volume not square footage. Without proper air circulation there is little possiblity of the 70 pint being able to adequately dehumidify a space of a few thousand square feet.
In terms of Aprilaire, the low temperature range is is for best performance. This does not mean the unit will not work in slightly lower temperatures, but the effectiveness does dip as the temperature s. Since they use a refrigerant based dehumidifying system, the higher the air temperature, the better this type of dehumidifier works. Generally around 40-41 degrees is where most types of dehumidifiers like this really dip in performance.
As long as the temperature in that space stays above 40 degrees or so, the Aprilaire should be able to keep your humidity levels down. I hope that better explains things.

Aprilaire 1710 Dehumidifier
The Aprilaire 1710A Dehumidifier is a high-capacity, 90 pint whole basement or crawlspace unit. It is the latest,
most reliable solution to relieve excessive humidity in your basement or larger areas throughout the home.
This ultra-quiet, free standing dehumidifier provides 100% more capacity and 300% more efficiency
than any leading portable dehumidifier.
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.
