Tools and Hardware Reviews of Haier HDN455 45-Pint Capacity Mechanical Control Dehumidifier
Customer Review: Exactly what we wanted
Summary: 5 Stars
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....
Customer Review: Works Great
Summary: 5 Stars
I had read several negative reviews of this product especially after a few months of use so I wanted to wait for a few months before giving my review.
For me the product works great. I use it for my basement which - like almost all basements - used to have damp stale smell during high-humidity days. In the beginning I set the settings at the highest level and my basement was completely free of the damp smell in 2-3 days. After that I set the setting to medium or low depending on the weather outside and it works great.
Even if lasts only a couple of seasons, I'll get my money's worth.
I highly recommend this product. IMO, it's a great value.
Customer Review: Can't be beat!
Summary: 5 Stars
I researched many dehumidifier's before this purchase. Our new basement was getting a bit damp, so we needed something to get the moisture out. I read reviews on almost every one available here on amazon and I decided on this one becuase of the price and reviews, plus it's for the basement, so I don't need fancy digital control's, just something simple that works. This unit works great, no complaints, not too loud but it pulls some serious moisture from the air. We empty the bin everyday, I haven't hooked up the drain hose yet. For the money, this is a great unit, I would recommend trying it before spending more on other fancier unitsCustomer Review: Good Dehumidifier for the money.
Summary: 5 Stars
It works great and with the included drain hose I havent had any issues. I have mine running into a 5gallon bucket. I have not had the issue of water running into the reservoir like other reviewers. Everytime I empty the bucket I check the reservoir and it is empty as it should be. My only complaint might be that the drain hose is so flimsy it will lose its angle and the water wont flow out properly but will get trapped in the hose til I "unkink" it. The dehumidifier has been running constantly since I bought it 2mos ago and even in 19 degree weather under my house it ran fine with no freeze up. Im very pleased with my purchase.Customer Review: vvvvviiiiibbbbrrrrraaaatttttiiiiooooonnnn
Summary: 3 Stars
This thing works, period. It's been plugged in and set at "normal" for the better part of two years. Gets emptied every couple of days when the tank fills up.
After maybe two or three months, something managed to loosen up, and ever since, the unit makes a godawful racket when it's running. Like, you need to shout to be heard over it. I have it in the basement, so it's not really an issue for me, but if you're looking for something to use in a living space, this is NOT the unit you want.
At some point, if I get motivated, I'll crack it open and see if the vibration is fixable and post the result.
