 Hassle-free and effective July 15, 2006

I first became aware that I needed a humidifier when the condensation from my basement walls left mildewy puddles on the floor. My basement is about 900 square feet. I did a lot of research online, and although I couldn't find a review for the Haier, it had a lot of the features I was looking for (45-pint, Energy Star, Auto-Shut-off-when-full, price, etc). I left the settings on full at first; in one day there was no visible water, in two days there was no obvious dampness, and by the third or fourth day, I turned the settings to normal, and the unit began clicking off when it reached its target humidity level. Because it's in my basement, I'm not really aware of the noise, but it's quite a bit quieter than the air conditioning. If you compare it to your average box fan with three settings, I would say it's substantially quieter than the highest setting and a little bit louder than the medium setting. I've run it continuously since May and haven't noticed a huge difference in my electricity bills.

I live in a basement apartment in a climate that is extremely humid during the summer. Under those conditions, I could run the air conditioner all day and the apartment would never cool off. After doing some research on Amazon and the EPA website, I settled on this unit and I'm very pleased with the results.
The Good-
1) Energy Star Rated - my electric bill only went up about 80 cents after I started using the unit.
2) There was a remarkable difference in humidity after the FIRST DAY. The room (approx. 750 square feet) always felt moist, but after 24 hours it had dried off to a level where I could actually feel the air conditioning.
3) The drip bucket is very easy to remove and drain. It is not at all cumbersome and has a handle that makes splashing less likely.
4) Variable setting that works like a thermostat...set the unit to a comfortable level and let it run!
5) Casters on the base and handle on the unit itself for ease in movement.
6) The auto-shutoff feature ACTUALLY WORKS!
The Bad-
1) The unit is a bit loud...about the same noise level as a window unit air conditioner. If you are buying for a basement or any area where you don't mind or don't hear the sound, then this is the perfect unit. I, however, find myself turning the unit down when I watch movies or listen to music (the unit is in my living room.
I am very happy with this purchase. It has made my apartment very comfortable at a very low cost. I highly recommend this item!

I bought this last year from Amazon the same week I bought a similar LG model from Home Depot after our basement took a foot of water because of a sump pump failure. This one's still running great after spending the year in an unheated detached garage building. It performed great and has now moved to the basement since the LG model has a perpetual CH01 bucket full warning that keeps it from running at all. No negatives at all on this model from me.
Great durable unit, 2 years so far and still going October 16, 2007

I bought this on clearance a couple of years ago to repalce my well aged unit which i inherated from my grandmother circa 1973 or so. This unit so far has been nice, doing a good job even in the humid midwest summers. Caution though, this is the first unit I have had that has an Air Filter on the intake area, just remember to clean it a couple of times a year. I had not done so till midway through this summer, and it significantly cuts down on the efficiency of the unit if it is left dirty. I notice a drop in the output air temp and the machine was not working as hard. My mom has had 2 prior dehumidifier units of different brands, one died after 10 years, the second only 4, but neither had a filter. My brother has a different model from Haier that doesn't have a filter as well, so plugging up isn't as much an issue. But, so far, great unit, sucks the moisture right out.

This dehumidifier has worked wonderfully since we purchased it in May 2006. We have a very humid basement, and it has turned it into a perfectly acceptable room. No more humid, dank smells coming from down there. No assembly was required; I had it up and running in less than five minutes. It has automatic shutoff when it is full, and a humidity control you can modify depending on how dry you want the air to be. It is not a quiet machine, so you may not want this in an area where you spend a lot of time. It gets a lot of use in my home and there have been no problems to date. Well worth the purchase price!
As of April 2007 it is still working great!!! and, still heavily used....
