The Pelonis 50 pint dehumidifier with pump is designed for automatic control of the humidity level in the room. It is designed for installation in living rooms as well as in grottoes and greenhouses. It has a built-in pump, as well as an outlet for a hose to organize constant drainage of moisture condensed from the air. The Pelonis 50 pint dehumidifier is also equipped with a fan and supports turbo mode to reduce humidity levels as fast as possible.

Short review of the Pelonis 50 pints dehumidifier with pump
The key difference with the Pelonis is that it has a full cooling circuit with refrigerant, which speeds up the condensation process. The “cold start” period does not exceed 15 minutes. That is, the device starts to perform its main function almost immediately after switching on. The dehumidifier can be controlled by a built-in panel. It is possible to set the automatic maintenance of the set humidity level in the range from 35 to 85% (with a range of not more than 3 to 5%).
The unit is also equipped with EasyMove for easier initial setup after start-up. The user only needs to specify the desired atmospheric humidity level. It is also possible to activate a timer (up to 24 hours) at intervals of 24 hours. The manufacturer has made it possible for the dehumidifier to work without any human supervision at all.
Pros:
- High capacity, 50 pints per day in basic mode.
- Automatic defrosting of the cooling circuit, which completely prevents the formation of ice and loss of productivity in low temperatures.
- Built-in pump and ability to connect a hose to drain water into a separate container or sewer.
- The built-in filter also retains dust, hair, and plant pollen. And it can be washed, but the manufacturer does not recommend the use of detergents.
- Supports the automatic restart. It works if for some reason the power supply was cut. That is, after that the device works the same program that was specified by the user.
- There is a turbo mode.
- The dehumidifier makes minimum noise (in the base mode – 49 dB).
- And if you focus on reviews of the Pelonis PAD50P1ABL dehumidifier from average buyers themselves, this model is one of the most energy-efficient those that have a full cooling circuit, pump, and fan.
Cons:
- The main disadvantages pointed out by users are:
- The size of the unit;
- touch buttons have no backlight (in low light it is difficult to set the desired mode of operation);
- Available only in a black case.
A detailed review of the Pelonis 50 pint dehumidifier with pump
Users in their reviews of the Pelonis 50 pint dehumidifier with pump note that this model is one of the most productive on the market. The body is made of plastic and the side grilles are made of metal. And the refrigerating circuit, through which the refrigerant flows, is protected inside by special softening inserts.
Energy efficiency
The dehumidifier has an Energy Star rating, meaning it is as energy efficient as possible. The maximum power consumption is 545 Watt*h. Electricity consumption is about 1 kWh per 1.8 liters of condensed moisture from the air. Connects via external power supply (7.8 Amp). Several power-saving features are provided, including automatic shutdown when the built-in tank is full or when the built-in filter capacity is reduced (if the actual volume of air being pumped decreases significantly).
If Comfort mode is enabled and the humidity is set to 50-60% (the most common scenario), the dehumidifier uses only 1-2 kWh per day (depending on how much moisture is evaporated in the room).
Dehumidification
The claimed capacity is 50 pints per day. In practice, with activated turbo-mode, it is much more. But power consumption for each liter of condensed moisture increases up to 1 kWh per 1.4 liters of water. Environmental temperature is almost unaffected, although the refrigerant (R410a) is used to cool the circuit.
Noise level
In standard mode, the Pelonis PAD50P1ABL dehumidifier makes no more than 49 dB of noise, which is comparable to the sound a computer or air conditioner makes during operation. This is true for the standard operating program. But if you activate the turbo mode, the noise level goes up to 53 dB.
Humidity control
This dehumidifier is equipped with a gyrostat. And it is possible to set the automatic maintenance of the humidity level as well as to set it manually. The range is from 35 to 85% of atmospheric humidity. The dehumidifier is on automatically if the deviation from the set level is only 2 to 3%. The minimum operating temperature is 41 degrees Fahrenheit.
Drainage
The capacity of the built-in reservoir to collect condensable water is only 12.66 pints. That is, in fully autonomous mode, the dehumidifier will have to be emptied several times during the day. The manufacturer has provided the possibility to connect a drainage hose. A built-in pump is used to pump out the water, which means that the dehumidifier can be connected directly to a sewer or an additional tank. The device can also automatically shut off when the tank is full.
Controls
The control panel is touch operated. There are 5 buttons, as well as a regulator for fine-tuning the gyrostat. The timer is up to 24 hours with automatic restart. That is, the dehumidifier only needs to be set once, and then it runs completely autonomously. There are also indicators to show when the built-in tank is full. The device will also notify the user when the filter needs to be cleaned or replaced.
All in all, the Pelonis 50 Pints is one of the best dehumidifiers on the consumer market. It is reliable, energy-efficient, quiet, productive, easy to set up and operate, and does not require the constant purchase of consumables (filters). And, it is relatively inexpensive.
