Hi Sue We have had absolutely no problems with this dehumidifier which runs constantly in our basement Didn't see anything freezing or frosting up but does a great job I do recommend it highly

I do not have my dehumidifier in a basement, so cannot answer your question from experience, but it is my lake house where the humidity is higher than normal. The Danby Dehumidifier runs unattended because we are not there most of the time, and I can tell you it has performed flawlessly. I have the hose attached to the dehumidifier dumping into a drain, so it can run continuously without being attended to, and it has fully accomplished my purpose for having it there. I am extremely pleased with the product and have not found it to "freeze-up" at any time.

It states it is for damp and wet areas , we had a water leak and used it to draw the dampness and it worked great , we were surprised how much water it pulled out.

This is a ready to use unit. The wire coil is the temp prob. It's a solid ready to use unit

I live in a pretty old house and the basement is pretty damp. It ranges about 80 degrees without the unit. This is a great product as it removes most if not all humidity in the basement. You do not need to run it in the winter.

Not sure but mine is in basement that I keep at about 55 degrees. Works just fine.

Low medium and High is all there is, I use mine in a basement, I turn it until it just clicks on, And leave it. No idea what the actual temperature is.

I'm sure it will be fine but keep machine in temperature regulated room the power rods loose resistance if they get too warm and if they are too cold they can become brittle and shatter.

My basement is unheated as well. I use it in the spring/summer when water accumulates and it does fine.

Sorry, I use mine in the basement as well. It would be about like running an air conditioner.

I've had no problems with my dehumidifier running in the basement. When it gets really cold (like below freezing), my basement doesn't get much moisture, so the unit doesn't run as often, though it's still on. But the dehumidifier has definitely still worked at lower (and all other) temperatures for me.

Sorry can't help. I keep mine in my basement all year long. The coldest temperature is probably 65 degrees.

I think you would be OK. I keep mine in the garage and the temperature there is often in the low thirties but doe not freeze. I use to power my snow blower and it works great, never get hard or become difficult to wind up after use. You could probably ask the manufacturer and see what they say.

I haven't checked mine, but it's nowhere close to 140-150F; it's more in the 200F Range. Something is definitely wrong with your Machine. Did you descale it regularly? Maybe that's something to look at.

I don't know!! Mine haven't iced up. I keep my house between 68-72 F. On the Frigidaire, I keep the humidity at 75 and the fan on low. So far it has worked like a champ!

No. I use it for a 400mA load on 24Vdc. So i cannot tell you How it would behave under "mire stressful loads. But with us they do not heat at all. Ok, the coil is extremely fragile. But with more than 100 installed only two failed, one of them having the coil broken from its soldering contact.

I believe the user who mentioned "sub-zero temperatures" was talking about using it in his basement when the outside temperatures were below zero. He didn't mean to suggest the humidifier itself was being used in a sub-zero environment

It depends on how many lights and how cool your area is but yes you could run them with no exhaust example a basement that stayed in between 50-60 degrees normally with 2-4 lights would bring it to the perfect grow temp withoutexaust depending on the size of the basement. Are you going to have dehumidifiers? Heating as well?

coils are advertised to be 100% water proff. NOT the controll box. One post I read stated to put control box in a zip lock bad so if you dropped it there would be some protection. Not a bad idea really.
