Why are LG dehumidifiers good for basements?

setting the lg dehumidifier humidity level

LG dehumidifiers are popular in basements and other large living areas for multiple reasons: 

  • Large Coverage Areas: They have been tested to cover up to 1,200 square feet. 
  • Automatic Humidity Control: LG dehumidifiers have precise internal humidistats that automatically maintain your set humidity level. Simply set them to Auto mode and they’ll keep your basement at a healthy humidity level. 
  • Reliable and Portable Design: LG is one of the most trusted home appliance brands. They are known for quality, reliable products. LG dehumidifiers are also compact with caster wheels, making them easy to set up and move. 
  • Hassle-Free Options: Since customers aren’t always in their basements, they appreciate having dehumidifier options with wi-fi compatibility and an internal condensate pump. 

This LG dehumidifier is perfect for basements because it offers all the features listed above. In addition to being rated for rooms up to 1,200 square feet, it includes an internal condensate pump that automatically pushes collected moisture out of the unit.

Even better, it offers wi-fi capability that you can control from your smartphone, Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. These convenience features are perfect for use in basements. 

What square footage do LG dehumidifiers cover?

LG dehumidifiers are tested to cover rooms up to 1,200 square feet. 

How much do they weigh? 

LG dehumidifiers weigh between 42 and 45 pounds. 

Where should I place the units? Can I put them against a wall? 

LG dehumidifiers should be placed in the room they are most needed, ideally on a flat hard surface. 

Install them 12 inches from walls or other obstacles. The product needs clearance for air intake and exhaust purposes.  

What fan settings and other features do they offer?

These trusted dehumidifiers remove excess moisture to keep your home clear of issues like mold and mildew.

But they’re also packed with multiple fan speeds and other features that separate them from the competition: 

  • Two Fan Speeds: In Manual mode, choose between low and high fan speed based on your room needs. 
  • Auto Mode: Choose this mode for thought-free dehumidifying. Set your desired humidity level (we suggest 45 or 50%), and your LG will automatically maintain it. 
  • Programmable Timer: Program your dehumidifier to shut off in one hour increments up to 12 hours in advance. 
  • Auto Restart: If power cuts out during operation, it will automatically return to your previous settings once power is restored.  
  • Humidistat: Set your ideal humidity level between 30% and 80%. 

Do LG dehumidifiers off automatic restart? 

Yes, all LG dehumidifiers we offer include automatic restart.

Just released, LG offers 2 dehumidifiers tested under the new testing standards. They both cover large basements up to 1,200 square feet.

Standard Basement Dehumidifier

The standard 50-pint unit (equivalent to past 70-pint models) offers LG’s features: 

  • Automatic humidity control
  • Energy Star-rated for efficient design 
  • Two fan speeds
  • Compact and reliable design
  • Automatic defrost for use in cold temperatures
  • Programmable timer

It’s an affordable option for long-term moisture removal. Learn more and shop for yours here.  

Wi-Fi Upgrade

The other new model offers everything the standard dehumidifier includes, but also has two major upgrades: 

  • Wi-Fi Control: Make any setting change and track your humidity level with your smartphone. You can also use voice-control to make changes with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. 
  • Internal Condensate Pump: Moisture collects inside the units and has to be emptied by removing the bucket. It’s simple with LG models, but this upgraded dehumidifier has an internal condensate pump. The pump pushes moisture up and out of the unit automatically (into a sink, outside  or another location). 

These features make the LG UD501KOJ5 the most convenient model available. Learn more about it and purchase yours here.
