Soleus CFM40

Pros: quiet

Cons: poor quality, will only last 6 mos

Review: Bought through Amazon, as others have. 1st unit worked well, and was quiet as advertised. Died after 6 mos. Returned the unit, got it replaced, same exact experience 2nd time around. 6 mos later, fan working but compressor not removing moisture. We...

Pros: Efficient; handsome; well built; many features; super quiet; easy to maintain; priced right.

Cons: A bit awkward to carry & empty the tank.

The Bottom Line: There is a huge choice of units from many manufacturers but look no further than this brand for high efficiency, quietness, good looks and reasonable price.

Review: I had been using a Kenmore dehumidifier in my basement for about 5 years until it finally gave up the ghost. It was still running, but the compressor was not pulling any water out of the air. After shopping around for a replacement, I finally...

Pros: Quiet, multiple speeds, attractive, has wheels, effective handle.

Cons: Switch problem. Stopped working and cannot be fixed just after expiration of warranty.

Review: All the positive features of this unit are true. It is a quiet and effective unit. But today in its second season of use and after the expiration of the one year warranty, it stopped operating. Here is the interesting part. The float no longer...

Pros: Small, very quite, low energy use.

Cons: 1st unit DOA, replacement poor performer, may be a second bad unit.

The Bottom Line: Certainly worth trying, 9 reviewers shouldn't be wrong, but after 2 units I find it a poor performer. Please read my review for details.

Review: After reading the reviews here I thought I found the perfect dehumidifier. What really attracted me was all the comments about how quite it is and it's low energy use. Well, it certainly is quite, but other than that I found noting to recommend it...

Pros: Quiet!

Cons: Never worked!

Review: I have never reviewed a product before but I feel I should warn people about this one. Never shut off since the day we bought it and removed no humidity from the air. The power level and humidity level controls are bogus. A true energy sucker. We...

Pros: Energy efficient; portable; relatively quiet

Cons: instructions only fair; no fan shutdown when tank full

The Bottom Line: Recommend for use as a room dehumidifier (not whole house) for occupied rooms because of lower noise level than other units.

Review: Needed a dehumidifier for the upstairs living area because family members like warmer temperatures and limit air conditioner use ... hence, humidity is high during the corn-growing season. Was interested in this unit because it has relatively low...

Pros: Quiet and small.

Cons: Service is very poor and costly.

The Bottom Line: The one I purchased stopped working after the 30-day warranty period and now I have to Pay to ship it back to Soleus for an exchange. NO REFUNDS ALLOWED

Review: I was very pleased with the Soleus Dehumidifier when I first got it. I was impressed with the size and the quiet running. However, after a month of use, I noticed the humidifier was not filling up. Upon checking the bucket, I found no water in it...

Pros: Very Quiet. Removes moisture very well.

Cons: Not stocked by my local hardware stores. Had to deal with mail-order.

The Bottom Line: Don't waste your time testing the others as I did. Just buy the Soleus. I can't imagine why anyone would be disappointed with that decision.

Review: After reading the reviews here I really wanted to buy this dehumidifier but no one locally carried it (I guess JC Penny does, but not for a reasonable price). Thus, I decided to buy the next best thing, according to other reviews here, and purchased...

Pros: Low wattage,quiet,very efficient,a good buy.

Cons: Needs wheels for easier maneuvering.

Review: I have used a Kenmore (from Home Depot) dehumidifier and was accustomed to hearing it run loudly for almost a year. When I decided to check wattage on my appliances, I discovered that this baby was using over 500 watts. Time to go! I researched...

Pros: Quiet and easy to use.

Cons: Manufacturer's customer service needs some improvement.

Review: This is a great dehumidifier for anyone who wants a quiet machine that gets the job done without a bunch of headaches.
