"Works well for the money"
This dehumidifier is a good deal for the money.As others have noted, it is a little noisy, but since it isn't running (hopefully) all of the time, that's not a real issue. It has a convenient handle to empty the water from the large 45 pint tub. I looked at similar sized models for $30-$45 more, so this is a bargain in my opinion. Shipping from Amazon was not an issue at all (and free!), so if you are looking for a dehumidifier for a large room (basement, etc) this is a good choice.

"ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME??? DON'T BUY HAIER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Being as I don't have 2 million characters here, I will try to make it short. 1. Product is JUNK - didn't work right out of the box. 2. Call Haier: 35 layers of automated to get a human. 3. They KNEW this model has humidity sensor problems but are still selling them. 4. 17 calls and 3.5 weeks later I have a new unit - they wanted ME to pay shipping despite what the warranty says. Haier customer service is absolutely the worst thing I have ever experienced. Whatever you do, no matter how nuts you think I am and you write me off, no matter what "great deal" you think you are getting, and asking yourself "come on, how different can the various brands really be?" I BEG OF YOU - don't buy Haier. You will regret it. "Haier" is a misnomer - a label name used to be slapped on whatever piece of junk they can get the cheapest from ANYWHERE in the world. Never again. Ever. For ANY Haier product.

"Takes out the moisture very well !"
This machine works better than any I have had previously and takes out the moisture very well. Is very noisy though.

"After 4 days: so far, so great!"
I have previously owned two Whirlpool dehumidifiers (35-pint daily capacity) for my basement. The first one failed in less than a year, and the second one lasted about 15 months before the sealed cooling system failed. Since Whirlpool no longer makes them, they offered me a check and I was off to find something else of a similar price ($140-$170)

In comparison with those Whirlpool models, this Haier is better in EVERY single area. Within 18 hours, it had removed at least 2 gallons of moisture from my basement. It is about 1/3 as loud as the Whirlpool. The construction quality is several notches above Whirlpool. It's also smaller than my previous unit. The hose connection actually prevents the bucket from filling (total bypass). It works all the way down to 41 degrees. All of this for the same price and a higher capacity! I can't find any negatives regarding its initial operation or performance, so I have to give it five stars right now.

I plan to update this review in the next year or so, unless the unit fails or causes problems beforehand.

"Basic dehumidifier"
This dehumidifier was purchased as a cheap dehumidifier for a damp basement. The noise level was just about what our old dehumidifier gave us, IE you knew it was there, but it was not obtrusive. It has a connection for an external hose and just sits in the corner, turning itself on and off based on the humidity level in the basement. This is a basic appliance performing a basic job well, for a basic price. I would recommend this dehumidifier.
