AlorAir Storm LGR Extreme: 85 PPD AHAM Specs, Pump & App

Current Storm LGR Extreme specifications

85 PPD AHAM and 180 PPD saturation are different comparison points

The AHAM figure uses 80°F and 60% RH, while the saturation figure uses 90°F and 90% RH. Restoration Select keeps the two values separate because a buyer comparing dehumidifiers under common conditions should not substitute the larger saturation number for AHAM capacity.

210 CFM process air supports distribution and ducting decisions

The manufacturer publishes 210 CFM process air and ducting options for divided spaces. Process airflow describes air movement through the dehumidifier; it is not additional moisture-removal capacity. In the Finder, minimum process CFM is therefore a separate requirement from minimum AHAM PPD.

5.62A is one of the lower draws in the current AlorAir restoration group

Storm LGR Extreme's 5.62A draw is close to Storm Pro at 5.6A and below Storm LGR 850X at 5.9A and 1250X at 8.1A. On a multi-unit restoration job, those small per-unit differences accumulate. Four Extreme units contribute 22.48A before air movers or scrubbers are added.

The built-in pump is part of the current configuration

AlorAir publishes a heavy-duty condensate pump and quick pump connector. That makes the unit suitable for continuous drainage where a gravity drain is not conveniently positioned. The presence of a pump should still be separated from the actual routing and lift requirements of the job.

64.3 lb closes an important portability gap in the prior record

The current manufacturer page publishes 64.3 lb. That places Storm LGR Extreme very close to Storm LGR 850X at 63 lb and substantially below the 79.2 lb 1250X and 99.2 lb Storm Pro in the normalized AlorAir group. For stairs, truck loading and room-to-room movement, the weight difference can be as important as a modest capacity difference.

Automatic defrost supports low-temperature operation

The manufacturer publishes a 33.8–104°F operating range and automatic defrost. That makes low-temperature capability relevant for restoration and basement work, but it does not mean moisture-removal performance remains constant across the entire range. Capacity still changes with environmental conditions.

App control has a model-date compatibility detail worth checking

AlorAir's current product page notes that different manufacture dates can use different AlorAir app generations and that mobile-device compatibility should be checked. The normalized current record uses AlorAir-Lite for the smart-app configuration, but a buyer relying on remote control should verify the data plate and current app requirements for the exact unit.

Storm LGR Extreme vs Storm LGR 850X

The two machines are extremely close on headline capacity. The 850X carries a slightly higher upper operating-temperature limit and COP, while Extreme has a slightly lower normalized amp draw. Exact workflow and chassis preferences can matter more than the shared 85 PPD number.

Use a project-supplied target for fleet arithmetic

The Water Damage Capacity Planner can use 85 PPD AHAM to calculate a whole-unit quantity from a target you supply. It does not generate the target from square footage or claim that the arithmetic count replaces a professional drying plan.

Compare power together with the rest of the job

Use the Restoration Equipment Power Calculator to combine Storm LGR Extreme with air movers and air scrubbers. The tool uses the exact 5.62A rated value and keeps the result as planning arithmetic rather than an electrical approval.

Current shopping path

Restoration Select verified an exact Amazon identity for Storm LGR Extreme during the configuration audit and uses the established search-style route for current marketplace options.

The compact chassis is part of the model's practical identity

At 22.8 × 13.7 × 17.3 inches, Storm LGR Extreme uses a horizontal compact footprint rather than the taller cart-style format found on some commercial dehumidifiers. Together with the verified 64.3 lb weight, that can make it easier to position in basements, crawl-space access areas or restoration rooms where floor space and transport matter.

COP is useful context, not a replacement for capacity

The current manufacturer page publishes a COP of 2.44 L/kWh. That metric describes moisture-removal efficiency under the stated test method. It can help when comparing similar-capacity machines, but a higher COP does not compensate for insufficient AHAM capacity, an unsuitable operating-temperature range or a pump and handling requirement the job needs.

Filter maintenance is straightforward but still model-specific

The current configuration uses a MERV-8 filter to protect the dehumidifier's internal airflow path. AlorAir recommends regular filter attention in its product guidance. Restoration Select keeps that filter type attached to the exact model rather than assuming every AlorAir restoration dehumidifier uses the same replacement part or service interval.

When the Extreme is a better fit than moving up to 1250X

If an 85 PPD AHAM machine already meets the project's capacity plan, moving to the 125 PPD 1250X can add size, weight and electrical demand without necessarily improving the workflow. Extreme can make more sense when compact handling, lower per-unit amps and distributed placement matter more than reducing unit count. Conversely, a larger target may justify the 1250X because two larger machines can replace three 85 PPD units by simple AHAM arithmetic. The right choice depends on the supplied capacity target and deployment constraints rather than the model number alone.
