I am only giving this 1 star because I have to.
I do not recommend this dehumidifier. I have had it for less than 18 months, and now it is totally dead. The control board and compressor died at the same time. It is made by LG (Gold Star) and is a piece of garbage. It was extremely noisy because the fan went out of alignment almost right away. I could hear it clearly from the floor above, and I live in a well-built, 65-year-old house. It was the worst money I have spent on an appliance to date.

Not worth repairing:
Our unit went through its first fan and motor in about four months, then it went through its second fan and motor in the next four months. The nearest repair shop was an hour and a half away. They were anything but pleased to be doing the warranty work and gave us a long hassle about proving to them that the unit was actually ours. The sales receipt we copied them was not accepted as proof and a call from the manufacturer was finally necessary. The reason they gave for their hesitancy was the trouble they had had getting reimbursed by the manufacturer. The only other repair shop anywhere nearby told us they would not be able to get to it for about six weeks. Once the unit was out of warranty for the fan and motor, I took off the back and noticed that the fan itself is a three cent piece of plastic that spins on a five cent rod coming out of a two dollar motor ( I may be high on the actual cost of these parts ). Once the flimsy plastic in the axle housing of the fan wears a little the fan begins to wobble causing the loud noise that tells you it is done working for you. The motor then burns out trying to spin the out-of-round fan. And so time for the next repair. I called the manufacturer and asked to be sent a fan and motor but they stated they do not ship out parts except to one of their repair centers. So welcome to the eighty dollar "if you bring it through the door" fee. The saying is that you get what you pay for. In this case that is not true. This thing was not cheap to buy, just cheaply made.

Tempted? - Don't buy it!
After just 24 months of continuous basement use, this dehumidifiers fan failed. Noises from the basement finally alerted me to the problem. The compressor was loudly failing; likely from the regular overheating caused by the failed fan. I had just checked on it a few days ago and now I it was junk.
At nearly $300, this products failure in less than 6 years is unacceptable.

NewAir ADS-500 Mini Dehumidifier With 20 Oz. Capacity BuiltIn Air Purifier
From NewAir

If you need to preserve the life of furnishings, shoes, and clothing, a mini dehumidifier such as the NewAir ADS-500 will do the trick.

ADS-500 for my closet
Great little product for my bedroom closet. It always seems to be damp in there and had a moldy smell. After only a few hours it doesn't smell anymore and it had a little bit of water in the tray. I just turned it on when i put it in there and i don't have to worry about it.

Works, but not well
I've been using the dehumidifier consistently for the past week. The dehumidifier is running in a medium to small bedroom (with the door closed), with a relative humidity gauge in the room. The humidity may decrease slightly (from 72% to 69%), but the dehumidifier does not seem strong enough to actually dehumidify a whole bedroom, let alone a small apartment.

If you actually want to be able to control the humidity, I would NOT recommend this product. Choose a dehumidifier that is more powerful.

Died in less than a year.
I bought this last summer to use in my RV. I chose it because it has a small footprint and I thought the customer reviews were reasonable. It worked great for the first few months. Now its little lights turn on, it blows but it no longer removes moisture from the air. Arrgh. Of course I tossed all of my documentation. If you only need this to work for a few months, then buy it. If you want a machine that will last, spend more money!

   

Amcor AHD65E 65-Pint Dehumidifier with Electronic Controls
From Amcor

The AHD65E can provide continuous dehumidification because it can be continuously drained through a hose. Of course, if you don't want to use the included drainage hose, this dehumidifier can drain to an internal bucket, and it will automatically shut off once the internal bucket fills. Ideal for basements.

Didn't work from day one, no help from support, had to return
I received the Amcor AHD-65E July 16 and, having already read the manual online, immediately removed the unit from its packaging and plugged it in to try it out. The dehumidifier beeped and the "BUCKET FULL" light flashed and then remained lit. Per the owner's manual I removed and reinserted the bucket (repeatedly, and with various time intervals between steps), but the light stayed on and the machine would not work.

I emailed Amcor that night but, despite their efforts "to respond to all e-mail inquiries within 48 hours of receipt," I have received no reply now seven days later. July 19 I called Amcor technical assistance and, after a reasonable wait, I spoke with Keith. Keith was polite and tried to help, but I had already followed the instructions he gave me to get the dehumidifier running. He suggested that I could return the newly purchased machine, but I opted to have someone from the corporate office contact me. I supplied my phone number and email address. Keith said I could expect that reply within three business days.

That time has elapsed, but Amcor has failed to contact me via email or telephone. I have returned the unit for a refund.

Amcor AHD65E Dehumidifier
Purchased this product two weeks ago based on other reviewer recommendations and upon receiving it, it didn't work. I called Amcor which is what the manual says to do in bold print instead of returning to the store. After patiently dealing with a series of stupid questions, I was told this would be elevated to a technician to call me back. Never heard from them again. Logged onto Amazon returned the item and asked for a new one. Received the second one yesterday. The item appeared to be previously used and the drainage hose wasn't included in the box. Plugged it in and it worked for about an hour and then quit. Checked the settings and everything was set correctly. I will have to call Amcor again today, Ugh. The lack of customer service Amcor provides should be reason enough for anyone not to buy this unit.

STAY AWAY!!!!!!
Stay away, the Amcor dehumidifier fan option of low/high only worked on low, then the fan quit altogether and overheated. When I called the manufacturer for help, they said to call around to find someone to work on it. When I went thru the phone book to find someone to work on an Amcor product, they all said they can't and cannot get parts for it. so I am stuck with a broken product. It's pretty bad when the manufacturer won't help. Look for a different brand!!!!!!

Terrible customer "service"
This dehumidifier happily chugged along for two or three days drawing an impressive amount of moisture from my small bedroom, until the power supply burned out for no apparent reason--it was uncovered and the room wasn't too hot. I thought, fine, Windchaser appears to offer replacement power supplies so I won't be out $60. So I emailed them about my problem, and I got nothing but a referral to the retailer who wants me to pay for return shipping, which is ridiculous. Why should I lose a dime on a defective product? Anyway, I had to ask why I couldn't just buy a replacement power supply, and they said they were out of stock on that kind for an unknown amount of time. Why offer these replacements if you're not going to make them available? It is so disappointing that I took this risk of buying a product that had only two reviews, but it was made to sound so wonderful, and now I regret it. I'm still waiting to see if the warranty on the product makes any difference. The way things have been going, I'm not holding my breath.

Update: After finally calling instead of emailing Windchaser, who would not put me through to a supervisor, I was told to mail back the defective part for a replacement. I spent the money to ship this defective part PROTECTED BY A WARRANTY over a month ago and have yet to hear from Windchaser regarding the status of my claim. This is unacceptable! I have received better customer service from no-name Asian manufacturers.

It simply doesn't dry out air...
I receveid this today, and it so happened that I had a small bedroom that was at just under 80F and just over 80%RH (the numbers this unit is supposed to be good to remove 600ml per 24h). My thermometer and hygroometer were accurate.

After running for 12h, total moisture removed was ~40ml, less than expected by teh specs (which should have been in the neighborhood of 300ml, possibly a bit higher due to RH).

The noise level didn't bother me much, but the efficiency of roughly 1/8th of which is is specified as performing certianly did.

wind chaser dehumidifier
happy with amazon fast shipping, the dehumidifier works as advertised and is doing a great job for pennys a day,my old dehumidifier had a compressor and cost as much as running a refrigerator, the only noise the wind chaser makes is from a snall fan in the unit, I use it in a small wood shop to keep the humidity down on the wood and it keeps my cast iron equipment from surface rust, it removes 1-2 pints of water a day and is no problem to enpty, it keeps the shop at 40-50 % rel. humidity, great product!!!!!

This works great!
This "no brand" dehumidifier is a workhorse! It works exactly as stated and I am buying more! I purchase a Whirlpool dehumidfier that did diddly-squat. After four hours the bucket was dry as the Sahara. Their help line was no help at all. They said I was suppose to run it 24/7. Geez, why does the 'no brand' dehumidifier have water in the bucket in less than 2 hours? I live in the middle of a tropical rain forest, so I know humidity when I feel it!

Worst humidifier ever
This is obviously a cheap no-brand product and it performs like one. I have returned it and am never buying "SPT" (Sunpentown) again.

   

Eva-dry EDV-E-500 Renewable Wireless Mini Dehumidifer
From Eva-dry

This high capacity renewable dehumidifier has been designed to adsorb moisture from small, enclosed areas. It will help protect clothes and valuables from the damaging effects of mold/mildew and moisture rot. It is 100% renewable and needs no power to operate. Just hang the Eva-dry unit in a closet, or you can place it in other small, enclosed spaces, and it will start to adsorb moisture. There are no batteries required or cords to plug in, the unit works without power. There is an indicator window with special "moisture meter crystals" that change from blue (when dry) to pink (when wet) to indicate when the unit needs to be "renewed". The unit will adsorb approximately 8-10 ounces of moisture (depending on humidity levels this should take between 6 - 8 weeks). Once the moisture has been adsorbed it cannot leak or spill. This unit uses a specialized, engineered, crystallized silica gel that is odorless, non-toxic and completely safe. When the indicator crystals turn pink it is time to "re-new" the unit. Simply remove the unit from where it is adsorbing moisture and plug it into a power outlet or power strip in a well ventilated area (bathroom with extraction fan, garage, outside, etc.). There is a built-in heater that will warm the crystals allowing them to expand and release the moisture as water vapor into the outside air. It takes about 12-14 hours to completely re-new the unit. When it is completely renewed the indicator crystals will change back to blue. The unit is brand new again and ready to adsorb another 8-10 ounces of moisture.The crystals will remain active for 10 years and we offer a 5 year limited manufactures warranty on all EDV500 units.

Works like a charm; love that it's renewable
We were steaming off wallpaper in our house which is a pretty damp job, so I picked up two EvaDry units (the EDV-300 and the EDV-500) from Amazon, and I'm very please with the results. Both are very easy to use; just take them out if the package, set them in a damp area, and they go to work. The little globules that you can see through the tiny window on the front gradually turn from blue to a very light pink as they fill up with moisture. When they're all totally pink, you just flip out the fold-down plug on the back, plug it into the wall (it hangs by its plug on the outlet), and it dries itself out. When the globules return to a dark indigo blue, you unplug it and it's soaking up moisture again.

Since the wallpaper project, we've been keeping them in a storage area in the basement, and they've effectively been removing the moisture (and the subsequent smells) from there as well.

What's really neat about these is the technology. I love that it's renewable and easy to use, and I feel a lot better since it's in an enclosed case; I no longer have to worry about pet poisoning or toxicity like I have in the past with those white pellets that were exposed to everyone and everything to possibly touch (or eat!). This is a much better system, and I love that it's easy to use and creates no mess or waste.

One thing to note is that they can get pretty hot if you leave them plugged in for a very long time (like a week). No problems, it just seems like an avoidable risk when you can just unplug them the next day or as soon as they're ready.

Regarding another reviewer's concerns about his or her inability to distinguish the differences in color: If you're using them properly, it's incredibly easy to distinguish between the colors at their extremes (and I'm even a little bit colorblind). Yes, as it soaks in moisture, some beads soak it in faster than others, making some pink while others remain blue. But if you leave it alone and let it do it's job, it will be unmistakeable when they all become a very light pink. Same with drying out; the rich indigo color is unmistakeable. You may want to give it another try.

Quite effective in small areas
I was surprisingly pleased with the Eva Dry mini dehumidifier. I hang mine just out outside our guinea pig's cage and it absorbs excess moisture quite effectively, keeping their food and cage area from getting too humid. It takes several weeks to fully absorb moisture but the indicator will go from blue to bright pink, and the unit will be noticeably heavier. Just plug the unit into the socket overnight to refresh.

Good product, need to iron out some glitches
I prefer this product over refilling messy damp aid units anyday (yuck!).
It seems to keep the closet fairly dry. Two problems. Problem 1. When I renew one of the units, it falls out of the outlet unless I support it with something else. This could be dangerous since it heats up. I'm able to renew it on a counter outlet but could be a more problematic for a regular outlet that has more space between outlet and floor. Problem 2. My boyfriend who I forgot to tell about the unit, went into my closet like a bull in a china shop and it fell off its hook and broke (glass beads everywhere) - I had to buy a new one after only a month. There should be a more secure way to affix the unit to hang in the closet or perhaps customer should opt to put it on the floor. The hook is fairly flimsy and if you have kids or clutzy significant others, hanging just isn't a good option for a closet that is full and tight.

So far so Good!
I purchased this de-humidifier a month ago, and so far it works well. The price is fair, but be aware that this product I would consider to be for a 'medium' space. It is very important when buying a de-humidifier to get the right capacity unit.-------In other words, this one is perfect for an average size bedroom or smallish living room-----too big however for a bathroom, but too small for a large basement. The white colored design is attractive, and it is simple to use. T Though I have had it only a month, so far it is a good buy and I would recommend it. ( also, it is easy to empty and easy to move ). Great for an average basement studio apartment as well.

Super sucker dehumidifier
Nice fit and finish. Reasonably quiet. The main objective of this device is to remove moisture from the air and it really can do that. It can fill it's 30 pint collection container in less than 24 hours. The water bucket is very sturdy and has a great handle for carrying. It came complete with it's own hose in case you want to use it directly into a floor drain. Additionally, you can switch back and forth between bucket collection and direct floor drain usage. I'm very satisfied with the quality and value. Let's see how it holds up under cooler temperatures in the winter and what the reliability/durability factor ends up being.

So far so good
I put the dehumidifier in the seldem used bathroom in my basement. It keeps the whole basement dry and the included hose allows me to drain it straight into the shower drain so I just "set it and forget it".

It is not silent and removing the bucket is just a little bit akward.

   

Whirlpool AD50USS Gold Dehumidifier - 50 Pint Low Temperature
From Whirlpool

50 pint dehumidifier with ultra low temperature operation (down to 38 degrees F). Suitable for medium-sized environments.

• Amazon Sales Rank: #215346 in Kitchen & Housewares
• Brand: Whirlpool

I think that all the other reviewers may be correct.
I purchased at Lowes two Whirlpool AD50USS dehumidifiers for my basement. One of the units functioned well out of the box and was reasonably quiet, especially considering that it is a dehumidifier. It is certainly quieter than previous models I have owned. The other unit was another story. It was quite noisy, with lots of vibrations in the plastic cabinet, and there was something wrong with the fan. It would operate only at low speed. I checked both units and discovered that the quieter unit had the model number AD50USS2 and came with a manual printed in 12/06. The noisy malfunctioning unit had a model number AD50USS1 and came with a manual printed in 3/06. I exchanged the malfunctioning unit and made sure that I got a model AD50USS2. The new unit functions just as well as my other "quieter" unit. My guess is that the AD50USS2 is a later model that has had the Noise Bugs ironed out. By the way, here's a tip. If you really want to get these units about as quiet as they can be, keep the styrofoam shipping pad that is at the bottom of the unit and sit the dehumidifier in it rather than letting it rest on the wheels.

Quiet, well made, effective -- good value for the price
I bought one of these AD50USS dehumidifiers after reading reviews and was concerned it might be noisy... that's not the case with this particular specimen. It is as quiet as a box fan on medium setting. You can tell it's running from the sound, but it's not loud.
The packaging was excellent -- you have to cut the bottom of the box away and pull off the box rather than try to lift the unit out of the box.
The manual is well written and illustrated (and can be found in PDF format at the Whirlpool website). The unit was assembled in the US -- I was expecting an import but am pleasantly surprised to see it was put together here.
The only feature this unit seems to lack is a display of the measured humidity. That would be a bonus on a future model.
So far no trouble. It has a one year comprehensive and 5 year sealed system warranty.

Great, except it doesn't dehumidify
This unit is extremely quiet (for a dehumidifier) and seems generally well built. However its cost cutting cheap design makes it ineffective if the area is cold.

I'm trying to dehumidify my 55 degree basement. This unit does not reverse cycle, nor does it have heating coils to deice it. All it does it turn off the compressor, turn up the fan and wait for any ice to melt or evaporate.

When the ice evaporates it increases the humidity. While the compressor is not running, its not dehumidifying.

Maybe this works if its warm and muggy, but in a cold damp basement its worthless. It spends all its time trying to deice.

I had an extremely loud LG before this. It sounded like a jack hammer. To deice, it would reverse cycle and shut off the fan. You could hear the ice melting (water running into the pail). It would pull out an amazing amount of water from the same space. It died, and I tried replacing it with this Whirlpool, but alas the Whirlpool doesn't do what a dehumidifier is meant to do, which is dehumidify.

Maytag M7DH45B2A 45 Pint Dehumidifier
From Maytag

Backed by a 5-Year Carry-In Parts and Labor Warranty from Maytag, this energy star qualified dehumidifier will remove 45 pints of water per day.

• Amazon Sales Rank: #654627 in Kitchen & Housewares

It works well and it's good for the price
I was seriously looking to get the Comfort-Aire dehumidifier @ $329. This dehumidifier was $189, almost half the price. I don't have any experience with the Comfort-Aire, it may be worth the extra $150 but I thought I'd give the Maytag a try first.

I own a Whirlpool basement 65 pint as well. The Maytag is much better in terms of construction and ergonomics. The water bucket is much larger, it also has an integrated carry handle and pouring it is simple and more exacting. You pour it rather than dumping over a bucket and hoping to shake out all of the water that does't make it out of a poorly located hole in the Whirlpool.

The Maytag has a filter that's easily serviced.

The one thing that for me makes this a 4 and not a 5 is the digital humistats ability or inability to accurately display the humidity level accurately. This was of great concern to me but it's error is on the high side so it will keep working and not shut off prematurely.

The digital display is nice and clear. You can toggle from air tempurature to humidity level. The humidity level measuring is in 5 degree increments and it's sensitivity to those is off toward the high side. I own several Oregon Scientific humidity measuring instruments and I leave one in the room with the dehumidifier so I can double check and compare the measurments.

I'll set the dehumidifier at 45% for instance. The dehumidifier shows along side the actual room humidity in 5 percent increments. Let's say it's running, I set it at 45% it shows the room humidity actually at 50% yet my own gauge shows the room as being at 43%. It might actually be closer to 46% but the dehumidifier won't display 46%, it will display 50% until it gets down to 45%. I've had the humidity down to 38% on my gauge and it's read 40% on the dehumidifier, that's closer.

What I'm seeing is inacuracies in multiple ways. 1 - humisats unless very expensive can be 5-10% inaccurate. So if it's inaccurate and only displays in 5% increments then depending on what side of the scale the air actually is on the display could appear way way off to the point of seeming useless, that's why I have a backup gauge.

In light of this I think the Comfort-Aires humistat is displayed in 1% increments, that might justify the higher price tag.

I've gotten by with the inacuracy of the Maytag and it hasn't made it less effective but maybe less efficient in terms of when it goes off and on with the sensitivity of 1% readings. I just keep looking at my own gauge and make my own adjustments based on those reading. it's been fine overall.

After 1 season, it died
It worked fine for one season, then it died. Fan works, hot air comes out but it does not draw any moisture / water into the tank. Now I realize that Maytag is a washing machine company who does not know how to make dehumidifiers. What a mistake!

Never again, Maytag
I have owned this dehumidifier for two years. It has been serviced 4 times. Currently, the part it needs is on backorder and I will be without this unit for another six months. Maytag customer service is the worst I have ever dealt with!

Works great
I bought an LG 40 pint unit at Home Depot. Cost me around $193 w/ tax. Flimsy unit that kept cycling on and off with electronic control. Returned it.

So I went out and bought the Haier at Target. It was on sale for $119. With a 10% off card, it cost me about $115 w/ tax. 30 pt Haier takes more humidity out of the air than 40 pt LG. Haier is built better. LG plastic tank got a crack in first two week. Buy the Haier. Skip the LG.

30 pt Dehumidifier
Not bad, has some starting and stopping problems, but it gets the job done when need be. Solid construction and easy to use controls. An overall good buy.

satisfied
This dehumidifier has been working very well the month I have had it. My only gripe is there were 2 small parts missing when it came. The Haier Co. is supposed to send me them. Meanwhile I made some that will work. Other than that I'm well satisfied.

• Dimensions: 15.00" h x 20.00" w x 25.00" l,

The Delonghi DH100P Always Dry Dehumidifier offers unique and exclusive features under the number 1 brand name in the category. The product has a broader range of uses as compared to traditional dehumidifiers. Its compact design, easy roll casters and convenient hand grips make it truly portable. The lateral intake/outtake grill allows you to place the unit almost anywhere you like. The control panel is equipped with lights that indicate whether the pump is on, the tank is full, the unit is plugged in, and whether the unit is dehumidifying. The pump effectively removes humidity from the air, and thus prevents bacteria from forming; the result is a healthier living environment.

The Delonghi DH100P Always Dry Dehumidifier’s Triple Collecting Condensation System allows you the flexibility to drain the condensation in three ways: pump it out of the room; continuously drain it through a hose; or, drain condensation into the collection tank. With its easy "snap on" design, the 16-foot drainage hose is simple to connect. The Tank Control System has auto shut-off features, as well as warning lights that indicate whether the tank is full, missing, in the wrong position, or if the drainage hose is obstructed. The small, high-efficiency fin evaporator removes large amounts of moisture. The anti-bacterial filter, which collects large dust particles and prevents bacteria from forming, is within easy reach.

Does a great job
I bought this reconditioned, since it is in the basement, and no sees it but us. It has not only dried out the basement, but the whole house smells better and has less dampness in the air. Amazing. We had an old cheap-o dehumidifier that the previous owners had left behind, and what a difference this one makes. We also have it set to automatically drain, so there is no maintenance on it.

My only pet peeve is that it's kind of loud. We keep the doorway to the basement open, and you can hear it in the kitchen (when the rest of the house is quiet). It just sounds like a motor running. Not terribly annoying, and easy to get used to.

Item works like a new unit
My unit came double packaged with all accessories and amazon invoice. Mine was shipped from Edison NJ. No dents No marks. Make sure to read directions, which state to wait 24hrs before using it due to the transport of the unit. I've have several other units, including a kenmore and GE units. The unit loudness is about the same as the others, but it excels in many ways:
+ takes much less time to dehumidify an area
+ 800-1000sq ft coverage is amazing for its size
+ doesn't produce as much heat
+ awesome water pump feature
+ doesn't look or feel cheap
+ space saver (taller rather then wider)
+ so so air filter, but at least it has one

I've been delighted with all its functions and the way its operating.
I am thinking of getting another one for a relative.

Had 2, second was a charm until now.
NEW
After using this for nearly 8 months, the pump broke. It still works, but I wanted a working pump unit.

OLD REVIEW
I too received a defective unit, the door wouldn't shut properly and I tried keeping the tank in place with a clothes pin. It didn't dehumidify either. Amazon's return policy is pretty cool though, so I tried a second one which works flawlessly, and is currently pumpin' humidity outside through the provided 16 foot tube. I highly recommend getting this unit, it's great.

   

Eva-Dry Edv-2200 Mid-Size Dehumidifier
From Eva-dry

The Edv-2200 is the most recient addition to the Eva-dry line. Using the same "Peltier" technology as the Edv-1100 (its smaller counter part) , it quietly absorbs moisture at a much more effective rate, as well as from a larger area. Once the Edv-2200 has reached its capacity, there is an indicator light that will alert you that the resivor needs to be emptied and the unit will turn itself off. This is a perfect item if you are having a hard time dealing with mold or mildew in your bathroom, on your boat or R.V. or in your house.

no complaints for $80
I spent a lot of time researching the available options to dehumidify my new apartment, which apparently has excellent thermal insulation (it's 90 degs outside but stays at 78-80 inside without a/c) but major humidity problems, partly as a result of the a/c never kicking on. Forcing the a/c to run wasn't worth catching cold and/or freezing to death, so my first low-budget solution was DampRid. It helped, especially in the closets (i.e. small enclosed areas), but it wasn't enough to take the moisture out of the air in the bedroom and living areas. So after looking at dozens of reviews for the Bionaire BDQ24-UC and the Soleus CFM-25E, I decided to go with this model, the EDV-2200.

Rationale against conventional dehumidifier: didn't want to spend $150-200 for a heavy mechanically complicated object that may get damaged in transit, with no recourse except to bicker with Bionaire/Soleus/Amazon service reps, that may or may not arrive as a lemon (per some of the reviews), and deal with a 2-foot tall 40 pound object which is likely going to be loud and suck up significant electricity.

I'm a pessimist, and that was what I took from the reviews. The majority seemed happy with their purchases, but a few had horror stories. I have terrible luck, and I got the feeling that I too would end up griping in a review about how awful my purchase was. If I was the type to not care about dropping a couple benjamins on a device that may or may not work, then no problem, I'd go with the Bionaire or the Soleus. But frankly, I got student loans and I'm poor, so I do care about where my money goes and the EDV-2200 seemed like a good alternative.

Why I like it:
- It's quiet. I have no clue as to how Peltier technology works, but all I hear is the fan, and there are minimal moving mechanical parts (no compressor, no refrigerant system, no oil leaking, nothing clanking or squeaking).
- It doesn't suck up much electricity. I don't remember exactly, but I think it runs at 70watt-ish.
- It's small. And rather cute. It looks like a one-foot tall egg.
- It works. Sort of. I see about 240-480 mL in the collection chamber every 24 hours. It still feels a bit humid around here, but hey, 1-2 cups in the tank means 1-2 cups less water in the air.
- I move it around from room to room every 24h, and where ever it is it seems to help somewhat. I wasn't expecting this thing to run like a champ and cover 900 square feet like pie...but if it can prevent my clothes and carpet from growing mold, then I consider it $80 well spent.

If you live in a swamp, you might need to step up to a traditional humidifier...this little baby won't do it. But if you don't have year-round issues and are just trying to survive a cool wet early summer without getting trench foot or having your clothes grow mold, then I think this mini-dehumidifier suffices.

does what it claims it will - a very unscientific review follows:
I purchased this product about a month ago, and since then have been running it a good bit. It takes moisture out of the air to the tune of about half the reservoir per day, which is pretty interesting since I didn't know there was so much water to remove. That being said, I again don't know whether that is good or bad, or if the moisture isn't just as quickly replaced by outside factors. I use this dehumidifier in my bedroom, as I live in a very muggy/humid climate, and as far as I can tell it does in fact make a reasonable difference in the overall feel of the air in my room. The dimensions of my bedroom plus bathroom suite are approx 20x12x15' and 8x6x15' (high ceilings) joined. The area has three full length windows plus a door leading to the rest of the apartment, so it's never sealed like a painted-shut-window or weather-sealed setup would be. It rained pretty hard the last couple of days, and normally in a room like this you'd feel a little on the drenched side while sleeping, but I was definitely a bit more comfortable than that. Not perfect mind you, but then again this isn't one of those $300 units either.

I would recommend this for light usage, but not necessarily in an area like mine that's just going to stay pretty humid no matter what you might do to dry it out.

garbage product and producer
I will let the accounts of the many dissatisfied Haier victims stand for themselves. Yes, haier produces junk. I will add this; they don't honor their warranty obligations, and if their customer service weren't a run-around, it would be non-existent. My Haier dehumidifirer died before its warranty period was up, and I followed Haier's instructions for intiating a warranty replacement. It has been a month since they received the package of items they requested, and they still haven't shipped a new unit. Delay, "escalation", delay, "escalation to corporate", etc., and still no action. Don't buy Haier
