Description
The B-Air Vantage VGX 1500 Dehumidifier is designed for messy restoration jobs, where floors are soaked, temperatures swing, and the gear gets knocked around. Its polyethylene housing and recessed wheels are made to withstand the roughest conditions.
Key Features and Benefits of the B-Air Vantage VGX 1500 Dehumidifier
- Water Removal: Removes up to 175 pints per day at saturation and 88 pints per day at AHAM conditions (80 degrees F and 60 percent RH), shortening your drying time.
- LGR Technology: Runs from 33 to 100 degrees F and up to 95 percent RH, so you can dry cold basements and humid spaces.
- Airflow Volume: Moves airflow at up to 265 CFM, giving you enough air turnover to keep drying rates up across large open rooms.
- Bucketless Drainage: An internal condensate pump moves water up to 15 feet vertically through the included 25-foot drain hose, so you never have to stop and empty a condensate tank.
- Rugged Housing: The polyethylene housing measures 40 x 20.5 x 20.5 inches and weighs 95 pounds.
- Stair Wheels: Recessed 12-inch wheels are positioned for stair travel, helping you move the dehumidifier between levels.
- Electrical Draw: Draws up to 9 amps at 120 volts through a standard 5-15P plug, fitting ordinary jobsite circuits.
- Noise Level: The single-speed fan runs at 66 dB, giving you a documented noise level for planning.
- R-32 Refrigerant: The R-32 refrigerant supports energy-efficient operation while carrying a lower global warming potential than older refrigerant formulas.
- Automatic Humidistat: Electronic controls, a humidistat, and automatic defrost hold your target humidity and clear frost without you intervening.
- Washable Filter: The pleated aluminum-frame media filter is washable, so you can reuse it between cleaning cycles.
- Safety Listing: cETLus listed and UL approved for use in the USA and Canada, with a grounded plug and built-in handle.
Does the VGX 1500 Match Your Drying Space?
Rated coverage is 15,000 cubic feet, or roughly 1,875 square feet at standard ceiling height. On a restoration job, that usually means one machine can cover a finished basement or a mid-size commercial floor, while a larger job might call for a second machine. The pump lifts water 15 feet vertically, enough to reach a first-floor sink or drain from a basement, so make sure that layout fits your space.
Sylvane's Expert Take
This dehumidifier fits restoration contractors and property managers who need LGR performance for the worst possible water damage restoration conditions. It operates down to 33 degrees F, making it suitable for cold, unheated basements or even the most humid environments. One thing to know before buying is that it discharges continuously rather than holding water, so your condensate drain plan comes first.
