Comfort Aire 501 : Excellence in maintaining comfort

Date of Review:  Jul 29, 2005
The Bottom Line: I recommend this dehumidifier to anyone seeking a quiet rock solid unit that can handle demanding conditions.
Review: Humidity is one aspect of our climate that we welcome at certain times of the year. In winter, we welcome it's soothing comfort from dry, cold air and respritory ailments. However, in summer, the oppresive humidity can be dangerous as it does not...

Comfort-Aire Dehumidifier- A piece of junk

Date of Review:  Jul 16, 2007
The Bottom Line: I would never recomend this brand to anyone.
Review: I recently purchased online a Comfort Aire Dehumidifier BHD-501. After a couple of days I thought it was not working properly. With the humistat set at 55 it would quickly (within a minute or less)show the humidity at 50% and the machine would shut...

Stay away from the Comfort-Aire BHD-501!

Date of Review:  Oct 23, 2006
Review: Purchased from a local chain department store, the first unit lasted only a few months before failing (leaky compressor/condensor unit)...Heat Controller here in Michigan supposedly made the units...actually it's the Chinese LG company that makes...

Two Years Later...A Disappointment

Date of Review:  Jul 4, 2005
Review:
It has been two years since I have had the Comfort Aire BHD-501 and am sorry to say the subject in question has let me down. I surely believed that this unit would last longer then the two years I've owned it. The unit started to "hang" up as...

Lasted 13 months

Date of Review:  May 31, 2007
Review: Purchased the unit brand new and one month out of warranty the unit has failed. Ice is forming on the coils and the the unit is failing to remove moisture no matter how long it runs. So far no response from the Manufacturer.

Can't believe others think this is quiet!

Date of Review:  Jan 13, 2007
Review: I purchased one of these based on research here, and other sites. It is much too soon for me to comment on its reliability, but I can comment on the noise. This is by far the loudest dehumidifier we have ever owned. It constantly buzzes, vibrates,...

Product Works -- Customer Support Fails Miserably

Date of Review:  Jul 6, 2006
The Bottom Line: I recommend looking at other manufacturers. When shopping, look for a unit designed with the user in mind, and be sure to compare the specifications of the different manufacturers.
Review: I recently purchased two Comfort-Aire dehumidifiers (Models 501 & 651) based on reviews I read on Epinions. For the most part, my experience with the units was consistent with those written by my fellow reviewers. I too find that removing a FULL...

Comfort-Aire BHD-501 Dehumidifier - This is a Best Buy!

Date of Review:  Oct 30, 2005
The Bottom Line: This seems to me to be a very good purchase to make if you are looking for an efficient, quiet dehumidifier.
Review: We had an old GoldStar dehumidifier for the basement area.
Being 13 yrs. old, that unit had seen its better days and needed to be replaced.
I spent several days searching the Internet for a quality product with decent reviews and which...

Won't buy another

Date of Review:  Oct 2, 2008
Review: Bought the unit through ebay. That was the most cost effective. Worked well for the most part in our basement. Our first try was a Kenmoore. It frosted up and quit working. Bought this one for its low temperature operation and "reliability". I...
