Toshiba TDDP5012ES2 Review 

*We liked it **Fastly.Cool** so much in the basement, we bought a second one for the main level. The amount of moisture it pulls out of the air is astonishing.*

I bought this model based on the name, hoping it would be good. It worked well "For a year" then it started frosting. Many people have complained of this issue. Garbage product.

I went through Hurricane Ian & found out I had water in the wall. Went out to buy this b/c Toshiba brand is good. After watching this I almost didn't unpack it b/c you talked about the noise level. I didn't find the noise level bad at all, it was much quieter than I thought it would be. You could sleep with this on, sound is comparable to a stand up fan. This machine is for real. I set it for 35% b/c I need it to pull any water out of that drywall- I removed the baseboard first, plus we had an insurance adjuster come out & he used a moisture meter to read the wall ( not the pronged one, the one you just run along the wall with your hand). He told us to go get a dehumidifier ASAP to pull all the moisture from behind the drywall so we got this beast. Mind you my house is 2000 sf & this is capable of a 4500 sf area. This giant was sucking every drop of moisture within a hundred miles. I set it on the lowest setting of 35% to get that moisture gone. Within an hour we were at 35%, wow. Mind you it is a master bath & closet space- about 400 ft. Also thought the heat from the compressor was gonna be really hot blowing out of this, but it it's not- medium temp & that's with the turbo on entire time.

I like the bucket size. I have a 900 square foot home in Florida. I empty it twice a day, and anything bigger would be difficult for me to empty. The 14 pint capacity is 2 gallons, and that's about my limit of how much I want to carry around the house. If you are a 25 year old young man, then 2 gallons of water is nothing. If you aren't, 2 gallons of water is plenty. Otherwise, great review...but keep in mind that not everyone can change a 3 gallon resevoir when discussing pros and cons of resevoir size.

Just over the one year warranty mine stopped working. Looking at the Home Depot reviews this appears to be a very common problem with no fix. My recommendation would be to avoid this unit unless you're willing to buy an extended warranty of at least 3 years.

Bought new in May 2020. Early Sept 2021 the coils ice up and unit no longer dehumidifies. Toshiba Customer Care will do nothing as it is 4 months out of warranty. Don't buy this product.

Just got this to replace my now defunct Frigidaire unit. So far it is working, drains out the back perfectly and sound is not that important, as it is relegated to the basement. Dropped the humidity 10 percentage points in 30 minutes...I like that speed.

I have this unit in my basement and run on continuous setting. Just recently the coils started light freezing which shouldn’t be a concern because it has the auto defrost feature. The concern is I don’t see any water now draining in the drip pan even after running in continuous mode for hours. Trying to figure out how best to get rid of this problem. Any ideas..

How do you clean the bucket!? I want to remove the handle to clean out the bucket but I can't figure out how to remove it, is there a way to remove the top of the bucket?

I bought one of these back in October 2022. Worked great for about 5 months but now the built-in humitidy meter is messing up. It'll read 40 when it's actually around 60 in the room. Also it doesn't shut off when it reads low. Sometimes it'll reset if I unplug it for a while but ends up with the same issue in a short time. Luckily I purchased a 2 year warranty but I'm kind of wishing I could just get a different one.

Drainage through hose does not work. Bucket still fills when hose is attached.

I hooked up a hose for drainage but it just fills up bucket d pi es not drain. What do i do??

Ok, so what are those better options then? Better build quality? Better warranty?

Ive had this for 1 year and its been acting up. Compressor is running even though its been off manually. Only way to turn it off it to unplug it. Defrost light is not on. And humidity goes from 50 to 33% even though its been raining outside. It does it once and awhile. Anyone having issues like me?

How can i get this to just keep the space it's in at 55% humidity? Because when i turn off continuous and comfort and set to 55% it will turn on and bring the room down to 30s and then turn off and let it get well into the 70s before it turns back on

Saw this at Home Depot (late July ‘20). Will probably buy today instead of waiting for a hOme unit from Amzn...

Which other units are better quality and warranty?

What do you do when you don't want wanna use humidifier

too loud for a bedroom? what is a good unit that is in this price range?

Hello can you use this water to water plants you will eat???

Can not get to work on continuous drain. Doesn't even turn on without the collection bucket

Just got one home depot has an extension on the warranty

Great 👍🏽 Video…I have the exact model and it blows out extremely hot air…does it blow out cool air?…and if so, what are the settings? Thanks.

what is the average monthly energy bill for this thing in the usa? Running at say 8 hours a day?

The coils freeze on mine constantly.

the bucket is filling with water and i have the hose connected why is this happening?

Hello there!! Thank you for the video! I am in the market for 70 pint dehumidifier unit for my basement. Based on your tests, what is the best option right now? Can you let me a right direction. Thank you inadvance!!

I bought that for last 2 yrs it's ok it works but this yr Instead it goes down the humidity it goes up the humidity temperature

I bought this unit and connected the drainage hose according to manufacturer instructions. The bucket still fills from a rectangle hole in the plastic panel above the bucket. When the bucket fills, the unit stops. Little water goes down the drainage hose. Most water comes out of that rectangular hole into the bucket. The rectangular hole is not due to damage. It is formed into the plastic panel. Useless to attach the drainage hose.

No issue with it. It’s kind of loud. I don’t have it on if watching TV. It’s too loud for that. I have to empty the bucket twice a day.

What size is that drainage hose

How I get this in Karachi Pakistan

This is a piece of junk. After 13 moths, it doesn't deforst. The bottom of three coils are frozen. Probably there is leaking refrigeration or the deforst sensor is broken. Don't buy it.

Thanks

3 months so far all ok

Unit

one year wonder, after that scrap it

quiet working after less than a year. Not at all reliable.
