avylo ADC018 Dehumidifier: problems, parts and running costs
Checked: 2026-10-17
Summary
No yearly cost can be computed: the only routine maintenance is emptying and rinsing the tank, and no electricity, filter or part price is reported. At the $279.99 MSRP reported by USA Today in April 2026 it is a mid-to-high-capacity machine with automated drainage, but there is not enough independent evidence to benchmark it against established brands.
Common problems and fixes
- Noise higher than the sleep-mode claim — the product page claims below 38 dB in sleep mode, USA Today states a 41 dB minimum, and the Popular Mechanics field test measured about 50 dB at 6 ft with a phone app, classified as average room noise; treat the 38 dB figure as unconfirmed and plan for a shared room. [1][4][5]
- Continuous drain needs a hose you supply — only the pump hose is included and the continuous-drain option requires a separate user-supplied hose, so budget for that or rely on the included 15-17 ft hose. [4]
- Tank capacity is stated two ways — the retailer listing says 70 oz (2.07 L) while both independent sources report an 8 L / 2.11 gal tank, so the listing may be a smaller variant; check the exact model before buying. [4][5]
Parts and consumables
No replaceable parts or consumables reported. Warranty terms and part availability are unconfirmed from first-party sources. [4][5]
Yearly running cost
Not enough data. No wattage, electricity cost, filter price, part price or other consumable cost is reported; the only routine maintenance is emptying and rinsing the tank. [4][5]
When it is a good buy
- USA Today reported an MSRP of $279.99 in April 2026; no other store or month-year price was found at time of check. [5]
