I will let the accounts of the many dissatisfied Haier victims stand for themselves.
Model worked ok for two years of not-so-hard work, then went completely dead.
I emailed Danby and waited a week.
It took many calls to Danby just to finally get a human being instead of a machine.
We purchased this unit for a very wet basement in a old house (read: standing water during spring snow melt and heavy rains).
After doing extensive research, I purchased Danby unit from Amazon based on Consumer Reports review on a similar model.
I bought this dehumidifier based on the number one ranking of a similar model.
I live in a cold and damp basement apartment, so the fact that it gives off heat isn't a bad thing.
I purchased two of these for use in a 1100 sq ft unfinished basement with dirt floors.
There is no removable bucket, so unless you want to lift up 50+ pounds every time the dehumidifier is full, save yourself the trouble of buying this.
Royal Sovereign bdh-550 worked great for a few months.
The first unit I purchased was defective upon arrival and would not even turn on, so it had to be sent back.
We could not get the Royal Soverign dehumidifier to work.
I called the company, Sunpentown, and they mailed out another cord with the instructions that if this one was also abnormally hot (which it was), I should mail the whole unit back (which I did).
The dehumidifier is small, sleek and silent.
The unit worked ok until the plug melted.
I needed a dehumidifier for making screens for screen printing on t-shirts.
While it was still working, it worked ok, drawing some humidity in a small room overnight while being fairly quiet.
I purchased this dehumidifier for mainly for my downstairs and wanted one quiet enough for use in my bedroom upstairs if needed.
My husband and I were in the market for a room dehumidifier and were delighted to find out that they don't all have big dials and clunky designs.
This is a very good dehumidifier.
I must be having very bad luck with dehumidifiers, in less than ten years, I have been through four of them.
I putchased this unit as it was specified as having three features I wanted in a basement unattended dehumidifier a) auto restart on power failure b) continous gravity drain and c) automatic defrost.
I've been looking at & pricing dehumidifiers, including Danby brand.
It has worked very well in very humid spring weather.
Never realized how the dampness in my basement related to the coldness.
I love this dehumidifier!
In July I bought a Frigidaire dehumidifier.
I was unsure what size dehumidifier to get; I went with the 25-pint because I could pick it up locally.
The storage room is 250 square feet, however still within recommended range for dehumidifiers listed between 25 to 30 pints.
Pros: Small size allows you to place in corner or in storage room.
After having used the corded eva-dry dehumidifier for a year and being satisfied, I tried this one and found it was not strong enough.
Don't waste your money.
I bought this tiny little dehumidfier about 4 weeks ago, removed it from the box, set it up in a problem area of my house, and toally forgot about it!
It works pretty good actually.
