Soleus Air CFM-40 E 40-Pint Dehumidifier with Humidistat

I bought 2 of these to take the moisture out of the air in our new home. Our hardwood flooring was starting to "cup" and the installer recommended putting in dehumidifiers to lessen the moisture content in the air and the wood. I received these right away (great service from Amazon!) and they have worked perfectly since they came out of the box. They are quiet and attractive and are really doing the job. When it has rained and the air moisture rises, I have had to empty the tanks much more frequently. A sign that they are really effective! Emptying the tanks is a breeze, they are not very heavy and as soon as you slip them back in, the unit automatically starts up again. I've had them about a month now and am very pleased with the purchase.

Purchased this Soleus CFM-40 after putting up with an old GE unit that was loud and clunky. When the Soleus arrived I was pleasantly surprised by the sleek design and quiet operation. It's used in our basement office space where I often do conference calls, so the simple fan (very low noise) continues to be a delight. The 40-pint tank does fill quickly, but I don't mind the empty routine each morning. The adjustable fan output allows directed airflow up and away. There's a convenient flip-up handle for carrying and it's not too heavy to move around.

We bought the unit back in August 2008 and waited until now (Nov.2008) to post this review... this dehumidifier works perfectly, and we would buy another if ever the need arose.

Im not around the unit too much as it sits in the basement, but when i am it does seem a lot quieter than the older one that i was using (GE brand i think).

This is my first dehumidifier and I really like this one. Being a woman, it is a little heavy for me to carry from one room to another, but it works great!! I have owned it about a month now and it is working just fine. Thank you Amazon.com!!

I haven't had this unit for very long, so I can't comment on the durability issue some people have had. So far, this unit is working exactly as it should. The "quiet" mode is still a bit loud for use in a bedroom, but overall this unit is a bargin for the price.
