With so many on offer recently, it is good to have a name you can recognise. The product is certainly that and will be a excellent purchase.

I am highly allergic to mold. After our home flooded 18 months ago, our house became a mold haven. Even after spending thousands of dollars on environmental cleanup, I feared we would have to move. But installing a commercial grade dehumidifier, equipped with MERV-7 filtration, has mercifully kept the mold at bay. The dehumidifier is controlled by a Dayton 1UHG2. The Dayton has been working well for almost a year now, keeping my basement at about 42% relative humidity (RH), year round.
I wish the Dayton had a bit more operating range. If I set it any lower, say 40%, the dehumidifier sometimes doesn't shut off, since the Dayton doesn't reliably trip at humidity that low. However, 42% is near the stated bottom limit of the Dayton's operating range (40-90% RH +-2%), so it is probably working within spec, and at 42% I am suffering minimal discomfort from mold activity, and my utility bill is more comfortable, too. I'm sure the Dayton has more than paid for itself in electricity savings over the past summer and that's good for the environment, too.
The Dayton is a pretty nice little unit for the price (manufactured in China, of course), but it is an outlet hog. When plugged into the top outlet of a standard double or four-way outlet, the Dayton's oversized case partly covers the lower outlet. Some heavy-duty AC plugs (washer, dryer, etc.) do not fit properly into the restricted space remaining--surprisingly poor case design.
The Dayton's single user control, a thumb-wheel, serves to set the on/off point for the room's relative humidity. When the user turns the thumb-wheel, the display automatically switches to "set" mode, showing the current on/off point. The wheel is rather tricky to work, as the display soon reverts to "Room RH" two seconds after the wheel is idle. It seems to me it would be much easier to set, if there was a button to press and hold, which would keep the display in "set" mode till the button is released. I would gladly pay a few dollars more for such a refinement.
The Dayton takes perhaps 2 hours or more for its electronics to settle and give accurate readings. This makes it practically impossible to set it correctly at once and forget it. I find it requires resetting several times to get the room to the desired RH. I also had to experiment to find the most reliable lowest setting. All of which makes this minimal interface annoying and awkward. But once set properly, I haven't had to monkey with it. I used to check it every day, but have grown to trust it. Now I check it only once in a while. The Dayton's RH readings are within 1 or 2 % of my dedicated electronic hygrometer, which suggests it is reasonably accurate.
The Dayton 1UHG2 has its limitations, but at present, it seems to have little competition at this price point. Better solutions--though few so convenient--may be available, but at much greater expense. Perhaps the next generation of this product will offer refinements, but for now, this is a welcome low cost solution for dehumidification control in smaller homes.
