Tools and Hardware Reviews of Haier HDN455 45-Pint Capacity Mechanical Control Dehumidifier
Customer Review: Gets the job done
Summary: 4 Stars
This inexpensive unit gets the job done. It dries my 700sqft basement from 70% to 45% R.H in about 12 hours.
Pros: Good looking and easily portable; continuous drain hole can be recapped; high moisture removal capacity for the price.
Cons: a bit loud even on the low fan setting; the included 3-ft drain hose is short and there is no easy way to hook up to a garden hose - you pretty much have to place the unit right next to the sump pit. If you choose to use the water bucket, it has a rather small volume and needs to be dumped every half day or so.
Customer Review: Absorbs water like a sponge
Summary: 4 Stars
I am pleased with the Haier HDN455. It is effective in our basement and seems to have resolved our moisture issues. Although I purchased the device in the Winter, there is still enough moisture to absorb. I expect it to work significantly more in the Spring, Summer and Fall. I will then hook up the hose for continous draining into my sump pump. The device is somewhat noisy, but I am able to turn the easy control knob to shut the machine off when I want to play with my son or watch TV. I haven't noticed my Electricity bill going up, but the device isn't on all the time.Customer Review: Great Price Works Well
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this dehumidifier for $169. We built a new house and did not run the Venmar (ventialtion system in the garage) because the house is so well insulated, the garage sweats during the winter only. Our garage is 32ftx32ft. As a result, mold was starting to grow on the walls. The Haier does a wonderful job of sucking all of the moisture out. We don't have a moisture problem any longer. The only minor complaint I have is the tray in which the water accumulates in is a little hard to slide in and out. Other than that minor inconvienence, it's been a great product.Customer Review: great value; gets the work done
Summary: 4 Stars
My product is only weeks old but works just fine. I am a fairly weak female and can remove and empty the water with ease. Once the container is full, there is still plenty of room so spilling while emptying is avoided. I like that the unit is pretty quiet in comparisson, since i live in the basement where I use it. I would give it five stars but the unit is on wheels (great though for easy transfer) and because of that, if i tap or bump it on accident it stops working for a few seconds, regroups, and starts again. I like the automatic shut off feature.Customer Review: BUYER BEWARE OF HAIER!!
Summary: 1 Stars
AVOID THIS COMPANY!! My unit arrived broken. Haier customer service was rude & obnoxious. They were completely unapologetic & seemed to go out of their way to be UNHELPFUL. When I finally bullied them into action, they wanted a full week to send out a service man who may or may not have been able to fix it. I spoke to both customer service and corporate, both were extremely rude and entirely useless. What's more, neither one had the decency to so much as apologize. NEVER AGAIN.
This was every internet buyer's nightmare!
