I am giving 4 stars after having this unit operating for only a day as a first impression. I intend to adjust the rating after a couple of months of usage. To start, I need to say that I am using this unit in my crawl space to keep humidity from forming condensation on the bottom of the floor joists. Unfortunately when the house was built, the builder did not put down a vapor barrier and only put down chat rock inside the perimeter footing under my kitchen and living room.
In the past have have had two (2) other dehumidifiers to do the job and each lasted about 4 years. The first was a Comfort-Aire 70 pint system, and after it quit, I bought a Danby Premiere 70 pint system which also quit only five months after my 4-year extended warranty ran out (don't you hate how those warranties seem to work out to your disadvantage?).
My first impressions of this new Vremi 70-pint (4500 sq.ft.) system are positive. It's significantly quieter than both of the previous two systems. But it is roughly 30% larger both in height and width, which seems kind of peculiar since all three units are 70-pint systems. The Vremi is simple to operate, but you do need to briefly read the manual so you can figure out that the humidity level can't be controlled unless you turn off the "continuous" operating mode (not a big deal, found it very quickly at the beginning of the manual). I went ahead and bought another 4-year extended warranty here on Amazon (some people never do learn), just in case this one peters out unexpectedly before its suppose to, hah.
I will also add that the manual says "for quieter operation, turn off the turbo mode and switch to normal mode." That isn't my experience at all. When operating in turbo mode, the unit is slightly smoother running and less noticeable with slightly less hum or vibration (maybe the slightly higher pitch of the turbo mode isn't as noticeable). However, there's not a huge difference in the overall sound level in either mode and both are reasonably quiet. The problem with the previous two units (other brands previously mentioned) was vibration of the plastic housing that made all sorts of irritating noise, although I can't remember if they were like that right out of the box or became that way over time. I am hopeful that the Vremi unit behaves for a long time.
I am curious if by not operating in continuous mode it will extend the life of the unit or shorten it. Intuitively one would think that non-continuous operation would extend the compressor life, but its also possible that the power spike caused by off-on cycling might be harsher on the system components. Time will tell.
UPDATE JUNE 2020: I've had the Vremi dehumidifier for about 8 months, and now it has recently began acting up. It has started icing up on the coils in the back and leaking water all over the floor from the external condensation drain connection. I contacted the Seller and they asked me a bunch of useless questions. I prefer to speak to someone over the phone because in their email response, they made a bunch of incorrect assumptions. I will report back here if this gets resolved but for now I am lowering the rating to 2 stars.
UPDATE DECEMBER 2020: I contacted the manufacturer and they sent me a new unit, which has now been working fine for five months. It seems like the new unit has an updated or redesigned auto defrosting system because I have not been having the same problem I had with the first unit. I have upgraded my review back to 4-stars for now but if the unit continues to function properly, I'll give it 5 stars based on everything I said in my original review (above).
UPDATE APRIL 2021: Another 5 months of trouble-free operation. Very pleased with price, performance, and reliability. Recommended.

Small unit lots of removal.
I have had my Brent dehumidifier for 3 full days of runtime and have let the unit run all day to see just what a impact the unit would make in my home.Over the past three days the unit has extracted water as expected IMO.Before going to bed I would empty the hold tank just to be extra cautious.Each morning i’d Discover the tank was 1/2,3/4, or completely full.I empty the tank before leaving for work and when I return I find the tank has removed less water during daytime hours than nighttime.But, still fills about 1/4 to 1/2 of the tank.It’s only been three days. But, i’d Say it’s performing wonderfully. I’ll be sure to update my review later if there are changes.Now for some info others might/might not have left out.The product says clearly on the box it is made in China. And i’m Totally fine with that if it does it’s job and so far it is.I purchased the “30 pint” (actually 22 pints) unit and it is as described. A workhorse. I do have it set on the lowest setting. So that might be why. It’s only stopped once or twice in the past two days.Instructions are helpful. But, need a better detailed description of function buttons IMO.Assembly: words of caution here.I cannot stress this enough. Allow the unit to sit for at least 24 hours upright before you plug it in or use it!! The unit gets tipped, turned, laid down, upside down and various other things in transit. Allowing it to sit upright for 24 hours let’s all the fluids to return to the compressor and other vital parts appropriately. A cord winder will most likely be in the water hold tank upon delivery. Make sure you remove it from the tank and install it on the lower back of the machine to prevent and issues with operation.There is tape randomly adhered to portions of the unit everywhere. So look for it and remove it before use!Warranty;It’s only a 12 month warranty. You have to call break and you pretty much have to ensure you have followed all the directions in the users manual before they will try to help you.My suggestion is if you have immediate issues or are not happy with the unit use the Amazon return methods first. Those are always the easier methods.Noise level:IMO the noise level is bearable in a room setting in normal fan or turbo fan modes.Imagine it’s a window fan noise. Very similar. Hardly noticeable to me.And, I do not notice any “heat” increases being omitted by the unit as others suggest.It’s too early for me to post about actual energy savings or less use of air conditioning like other suggested.I will update post to such at a later date.As of now i’d Suggest! I bought a second unit for my parents and they enjoy it as well.
