What size area should this cover?

I'm using to cover approx 1800 sq ft of basement and it is keeping humidity at 50%.

I don't know for sure since it does not seem to be in the book that we received with it, but we are using it in a semi-finished daylight basement that is about 800 - 900 square feet. I built a platform and have it draining through a window that is raised about 1 inch and is resealed with insulation. If you want to handle anything larger it would be best to get a heavy duty unit.

That would imply that this thing will work long enough to get the job done. Good luck with that. I have purchased 4 of them(one after the other), and they all malfunctioned and had to be returned.

The 70 pint unit can handle a 40x30 foot basement with ease. And just about any average size room in a house.

Actually some of the reviews I saw rated it for 1400 sq ft (which is the size of my house). It seems to work relatively well for that size of a building, but I also have an air purifier that circulates the air flow (which I move from room to room). It also has rollers so it can be moved from room to room if you desire.

Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) Dehumidification Selection Guideavailable at Lowe's web site, indicates an extremely wet area (laundry drying, wet floor, high load conditions, would require a dehumidifer capable of removing 44 pints per 24 hours for a 2500 sq. ft. area (assuming 8 ft. ceiling, since it is really a volume calculation, and moist, warm outdoor conditions). I would think that a centrally placed 70 pt. unit should be adequate, provided there is air circulation for the entire 1000 sq. ft (or use an additional fan to help the circulation, if necessary). The 70 pt. dehumidifier should be able to handle it.

As it is the 70 pint per day model, it's good for a basement...approx. 1000 sq ft

I have it located in our utility area in the basement which is approximately 650-700 square feet. I have it on the low setting which requires that I empty the basket about every other day. It is very comfortable at about 40% humidity in the basement. I think the repair person gave you a good conservative estimate on the coverage area, but I think 1000 sq feet is still a good estimate too. For what it is worth our dehumidifier is a work horse and easy to clean, been very happy with it. Hope my answer helps, if not, let me know if you need a more specific answer.

I was told by an authorized repair person that 750-800 sq ft was the maximum area to be covered. However much of the advertising for this appliance states 1000 sq ft.

I have mine in an area that measures 10ftX7ft but you can adjust to just about any space you have.

The size I ordered was 39"x67. Very large so complete coverage is not a problem.

78.7 inches x 0.6 inches x 70.9 inchesIts light weight and covers a good amount of area.!!

It will most definitely cover that area but, if only using the one fixture you should only look at low an mediumlight plants....adding a second fixture would be best

it is supposed to cover 5,000 sq. ft. but i am using it in two different places. one is 3,500 sf and the other is only 1,500 sf. it does both fine.

My pad is about 6' by 6'. I would guess you'd need 4 if you want complete coverage.

I bought a 5' x 4' pad which was just right for the base. The workout area is about another 1' around the pad.

1 box covers a 10'x10' area so 2 and 2/3 boxes should cover 260 sq ' You probably have to order 3 boxes.

This.just might work for you . However , you may need to purchase 2 depending on how much square footage space you need it to cover.

Sorry, haven't used it yet so I can't say how it covers. I'm using it as a grout sealer so it may be hard to figure out sq. footage coverage---

Hello, Usually 24 and 25 sqft kits are sold to cover 4 medium doors (6sqft each door). I used a 25 kit to lay a double cover in a coupe, in order to get a strong midbass for competition. 50 sqft should be more than enough if you are going to use only one layer in each door. Good luck. Kind regards, Jean Pierre.

Think of the size area you want to cover. It doesn't have to meet in each corner. You can use rope and plan ahead if you want to maybe later install more. The measurements are the size of the material. I hope this helps.

You always want to have a bit extra, that's just good practice when doing projects. I did an 8' x 8' area and used three packs with some to spare for mistakes. Keep in mind, if the room is not one big square, you may need more(as my area wasn't).
