I used this wall humidistat to control a Fridigaire Dehumidifier in the basement, as the control in the dehumidifier had very little hysteresis and thus kept switching on and of every minute or so. This short cycling of the compressor in the dehumidifier would severely shorten its life. The Honeywell humidistat has a hysteresis of + and 3 percentage points so the the basement cycles between 47% and 53% humidity. The dehumidifier is on for approx 1/2 hr and off for several hours. While this is a more expensive way to control a dehumidifier if it saves the compressor it will be worth it.
The Honeywell switch was easy to install and the documentation was clear and easy to read.

The dehumidistat on my 4 year old Frigidaire dehumidifier quit. The part is unavailable. Instead of replacing the dehumidifier, I bought this, installed in in series with an outlet, and use it to control the dehumidifier with the dehumidifier set on "continuous" mode.
I've bought a number of house thermostats over the years, and have decided that I'll only buy Honeywell. They just work, and when they don't, their phone support people know what they're talking about, and they speak English. This was my first dehumidistat (how many does one person need?), but I couldn't be happier. It keeps my basement dry.
Highly recommended.

bought the dehumidistat and set it up to run Radon fan in baselment to accomplish two purposes: eliminate excess humidity as well as any potential radon that may be hanging around. Installation was easy and the unit worked perfectly for several monmths and then I had to crank it below 20% RH to maintain 45% level.
Honest reviews on Honeywell H46C1166 - Dehumidistat, 24/120/240 Vac Wall-Mounted
I bought this to control a basement dehumidifier. I mounted it in an electrical box with a receptacle and plug my dehumidifier into it. It seems to work well. Turning the knob all the way CCW is OFF and all the way CW is ON with markings from 80 to 20 in between. I have mine set at about 52, which seems to keep the humidity in my basement around 60 percent. I would say the markings are approximate so it's best to have a separate inexpensive humidity monitor so you know the humidity level is where you want it. I used a 2 gang electrical box but a 3 gang would have been a better fit as this device is much wider than a switch or receptacle so I had to trim the cover to make everything fit. This would have been avoided with the wider box.
