Great Product
By Robin A. Bruzga
I received this dehumidifier a few weeks ago for use in my basement apartment that had gotten damp with all the rain this summer. It has been running non-stop since. It works great! I have been rotating it around the apartment into dissimilar rooms that need to arid out and it speedily fills up with water after a few hours beeps and I empty the bucket. the only drawback is that is does give off a lot of heat, which I guess all dehumidifiers do, but I still gave it 5 stars!

the little dehumidifier that could
By Tech Coordinator
this little wonder does a outstanding job. I use it in my 20×40 man cave and it keeps it very dry. It is a little noisy for my taste and when we are occupying it I commonly shut it down becuase of the fan noise. Also if it is running the room temperature rises a few degrees over the week. We like it when it is 67-68 degrees and if it is on all week the temperature stays around 71. I attached a garden hose to it and it has worked flawlessly over last month.

Very positive review after a few months (edited)
By Kid_Again
I received this unit yesterday so this is a preliminary assessment. The reason why I necessitated a dehumidifier is the one that we have in our basement is in a literal sense 20 years old. It’s so old, it doesn’t have a piece of plastic on it but it refuses to die. While I didn’t test the old unit for electrical draw, my on a monthly basis electric bills are too high. I unplugged/put on a timer each appliance that I thought could bestow and it came back down to my faith that my old dehumidifier is an energy hog.
Our basement is HUGE but I still only purchased the 30 pint unit because I’d rather run a little unit more often than cycle a more spectacular unit. Same conception as a house air conditioner – and a dehumidifier is a miniature air conditioner. Besides, I’d need the Mother of All Dehumidifiers to wholly arid the basement and that’s not going to happen.
Even even though the old unit had just been running before I installed the Soleus, the new hstat read 70%. I don’t genuinely care if that’s exact or not, the basement just smelled damp. I installed a drip hose to run into the laundry tub, set the hstat to 55% and went to bed. This morning, it’s unquestionably drier but I didn’t bother to check the hstat. I assume the unit ran all night.
The impressive point is that I used the same drain hose on both dehumidifiers and, subjectively, the Soleus is draining a LOT more water than the old unit. Plus it is VERY quiet.
Once I get the feel of the hstat sensitivity, then I ‘ll set it and forget it so I may valuate the energy usage. I know that I could buy an energy meter but I’ll just save the $50.
The unit is also light which is indispensable because I put the unit midway up the wall on a shelf (to drain into the tub). The supplied wheels ought to move very well on carpets but mine is static. BTW, based on my own reading, the Energy Star rating means very little but it’s better to buy an appliance with the sticker.
Thanks to all those who antecedently reviewed this product and helped me make my decision!
I’ve modified this since I’ve used the scheme for a few months. Previously, I was wrong in saying the blower stays on perpetually when the dehumidifier isn’t running. Not true, don’t know where I got that. All I may say is….dagnabbit but this does pull a lot of water from the air, and it uses less electricity than my old one.
