Haier HDN455E 45-Pint Dehumidifier with Electronic Control  Product Reviews

"i like it, it does the job mine does kick off when it reaches the required humidity level."

"It's actually not quite a 5 start rating. More like 4 1/2 because I don't believe the humidity readings are accurate. It wil start at 75% and get down to 45% or so withing minutes. However the machine works well. I take out a bucket of water in the morning and then one in the evening. Within a few days almost all the moisture in my basement was gone. I was pleased enough to buy a 2nd unit for my vacation house and it works just as well. It's simple to use. It might be a little noisy if you have it in a living quarter bt for the basement it's fine. And the price is good."

"This inexpensive unit gets the job done. It dries my 700sqft basement from 70% to 45% R.H in about 12 hours. Pros: Good looking and easily portable; continuous drain hole can be recapped; high moisture removal capacity for the price. Cons: a bit loud even on the low fan setting; the included 3-ft drain hose is short and there is no easy way to hook up to a garden hose - you pretty much have to place the unit right next to the sump pit. If you choose to use the water bucket, it has a rather small volume and needs to be dumped every half day or so."

"We put this dehumidifier in a finished basement that had a damp smell. Overnight, it pulled a gallon or more of water out of the air."
