This system will do the trick. Depending upon the size of the basement, you may notice an improvement in 6-8 hours.

I don't have a basement, but it totally got rid of lingering smoke smell after a backdraft filled our house with smoke. It works great! Any time I want to freshen the air in the house, I just run it for 10 minutes.

Yes, we just purchased a home that had been "winterized" which means no airflow for weeks. It smelled a little musty, especially in the basement. I turned the central AC fans on and pointed this at the air intake with fan on high and ozone on low. Next morning when I returned to check on it the entire house smelled absolutely clean.

I haven't used it for damp musty odors, but you will never get rid of those odors using a dehumidifier. Dehumidifiers aren't capable of 'cleaning' the air. They only remove excess moisture. You need a device that will cleanse the air, and this machine does it very well.

This product is overrated .A much better product is Odor Busters which is an aerosol product. , sold inold time hardware stores such asWise Hardware in Pelham , New York. .Another old time odor remover (masker)Is baking soda or use camp for balls.

If you're getting a musty smell, you don't have enough dehumidifying going on. This device works fine by itself keeping my safe dry, but I live in a low humidity area, have central AC which does it's own job keeping moisture in my house low, and I'm not constantly going in and out of my safe. Low humidity is something you can totally go "belt and suspenders" on. Get this, get a glow road, get a rechargeable dehumidifier from eva-dry... you will never make it too dry. To sum up, if you're getting a musty smell, you're not dry enough.

I haven't used it in a basement, but we had a bunch of water come in through our patio doors and saturate a carpet. The stink was unbelievable. This is the only thing that let us get near the area that I couldn't reach with the wet vac until it dried out on its own.

Hi, I think this product is a "must have". I get odors out of my husband's dirty work clothes that may have been in a laundry bags for a couple of weeks. Yuck! Also, I've bought second hand tshirts that the febreeze laundry got the staleness/old bo out of without a hint of leftover. I think it would remove strong perfume smells. For the price, it's certainly worth a try :)

I have purchased dehumidifiers from box stores in the past that did not do anything but run.this thing actually works - it did dry my basement which is unfinishedI put it on 4 cement blocks just incase the sump pump quits and I get another indoor swimming poolbefore this I was thinking of just stocking the basement with fish so I wouldn't have to go outside when the weather was badI also purchased a small heater with a thermostat which also helped dry things.

Hi Diane. The moisture will be removed more completely with a desiccant filter. Feel free to email us at support@tekton.com or call us at 888.648.3371, if you have any other questions or concerns. Thanks!

No, I haven't noticed any odor. How long have you been using it? Have you ever cleaned the filter? Sometimes mold can build up in the tank itself. I had that happen with my old dehumidifier. I used to clean it out with a diluted bleach solution to remove any mold build up. Hope this helps! Let me know if it doesn't,,,I will be on the lookout for that happening in mine. Good Luck J. Young!

No, we didn't but opened it outdoors. You might try Nok-Out Odor Eliminator and/or a water sealer to help with the odor.

The Danby dehumidifier I received never worked, and none of the Danby local service centers would repair the unit. I had to return it at my expense. I do not recommend purchase of Danby dehumidifiers. Sorry I was not able to answer your question.

This machine I own I really love . I see that your problem is mold..I suggest buy dehumidifier for all house you need 65 pint or 75 pint. I am desing engineer and I work with machines all my life, I can tell you for this green air Machine purifier ozon generator is really great having home. This machine I would recommend to someone who don't like cigarette, cooking and pet smell in house. Also this will help fight against allergies .

This is a fantastic room dehumidifier. I live on a lake. I had a mold and mildew problem. Removed all of my carpet. This dehumidifier removes all of the damp air. My mold and mildew problem has disappeared. I would highly recommend this dehumidifier. Make sure you empty water storage compartment each time you turn machine off. Take care of machine and it will take care of you.

I don't know. I only use it in the basement in conjunction with a dehumidifier to keep the basement fresh in the warmer months. It might be worth a try. It sure makes the basement smell good.

I don't believe so. That's how mine arrived, and it did absolutely nothing for dampness/odor. It seems to harden as it gets used up. I figured this out when it was too late to return it. Good luck!

We wrote our concerns to the particular fulfillment house that sent us the dehumidifier. They then directed us to the location of an approved appliance place for repair. When they said the dehumidifier was unable to be fixed, we contacted Danby. They made the remedy easy. we have a new dehumidifier, and it works like a champ. I do not expect it to die in a year. Hope this helps.

I'm sorry but I'm not an HVAC guy and really couldn't offer any technical advice. I only know of the application in my system which is to drain water that's been removed from the air- dehumidified. Sorry I can't be of any assistance.
