Heavy-duty 145-pint class model for basements, crawl spaces, and larger areas.
Check current price →Bottom line
The Argendon Guardian 60 is strongest when you need a 145-pint saturation-class unit for a space around 1,800 sq. ft. or smaller and its drainage setup fits your installation.

|---|---|
| Saturation moisture removal | 145 pints/day |

Who should consider it?
This model makes the most sense for buyers whose space is within its published coverage range and who want a simpler gravity-drain setup. If your space is larger, unusually wet, or part of a restoration job, stepping up in capacity can make more sense.
Capacity: AHAM vs saturation
Do not compare dehumidifiers only by the largest pint number on the box. Saturation ratings are measured in much wetter conditions than AHAM ratings. The AHAM number is often the more useful apples-to-apples reference for everyday operating conditions.
Best-fit applications
Residential moisture control
Useful for suitably sized basements, crawl spaces, garages or other damp areas where continuous drainage is practical.
Long-run operation
Commercial-style dehumidifiers are generally chosen when you want a purpose-built unit rather than a small portable tank model.
Drainage planning
Plan for a nearby lower drain or another gravity-drain route because this model is not selected for a built-in condensate pump.
