Tools and Hardware Reviews of Haier HDN455 45-Pint Capacity Mechanical Control Dehumidifier
Customer Review: A Waste of Money
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought a Haier 45 pint dehumidifier last year. Since new, it has been quite noisy and vibrated excessively. Because of the vibration and resultant metal fatigue, the tubing from the compressor to the condensor has cracked, so the refrigerant has been lost and the unit doesn't work properly. Under the 5-year warranty, Haier will only cover parts, not labor. Also, I would have to find someone on my own to fix it and bill them, since their repair vendor doesn't cover my model. Tne only part in this case would be solder to fix the crack, so I'm pretty much stuck with the costs for repair. Not a good deal!Customer Review: Don't buy Haier

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 HaierCustomer Review: works great
Summary: 5 Stars
It's actually not quite a 5 start rating. More like 4 1/2 because I don't believe the humidity readings are accurate. It wil start at 75% and get down to 45% or so withing minutes. However the machine works well. I take out a bucket of water in the morning and then one in the evening. Within a few days almost all the moisture in my basement was gone. I was pleased enough to buy a 2nd unit for my vacation house and it works just as well. It's simple to use.
It might be a little noisy if you have it in a living quarter bt for the basement it's fine. And the price is good.
Customer Review: poor quality/design
Summary: 1 Stars
No mention in product information that fan is always on, even when target humidity level is reached. Second issue which I'm not sure is a design defect or mfg QC issue involves auto-defrost feature. I suspect auto-defrost uses heating element to control ice build up, but that heating element is always on by design or defect, Haier CSR couldn't tell me for sure. The result is when not dehumidifying this unit blows enough warm air to heat up my small basement by a few degrees. Not exactly my idea of a "high-efficiency Energy-Star dehumidifier". This unit is going back for a full refund.Customer Review: dehumidifier
Summary: 5 Stars
This works really well in our condominium in south Florida. The climate here is so humid that I have trouble sleeping. From the very first day this dehumidifier was running, it dramatically improved the comfort of our home. I could tell a difference within a few hours. We use less AC and sleep a whole lot better. It collects quite a bit of water even on the normal setting. We have 1200 square feet of living space so this little machine packs a pretty good punch. It's not at all hard to put together and emptying the water pan is simple. Very, very satisfied with this purchase.
