Soleus CFM-25 Dehumidifier  Product Reviews

"I purchased two of these units. There were two areas I was not happy with: 1. Neither of them removed any moisture from the air when I first connected them. After the first unit was left running in the continuous position for more than 24 hours, it started to pull some moisture out. After 48 hours, it seemed to work fine. The second unit started pulling moisture out of the air after just 24 hours of continuous running. This was during a very humid period (75 to 80% humidity) so this was clearly some issue with the design. 2. If you loose power, these dehumidifiers do not turn back on. To get them to work after a loosing power, you must reselect the mode you want and click all the buttons again. I have one of these in my camp 150 miles away and one under a crawl space in my house. We often loose power with the result the one at my may only run for a day or two before it is rest and I must go under my house every time I loose power to turn that unit back on. If you never loose power or if this unit is in a living area, then this is not a concern. This does make these useless for the applications I am using them for. Good points is they only draw about 200 watts and they are very quiet."

"This dehumidifier is much lighter than ones I have used in the past so easy to move from one spot to another. It is fairly quiet and seems to work fine. The water catching container is small, but it is easy to attach a hose for continuous drainage. One downside- the fan seems to run all the time whether the compressor is working or not. I hope it lasts longer than the other dehumidifiers I have had in the last few years."

"Pros: -Very quiet -Produces very little heat -Energy efficient -Has option to attach a drain hose -Compact, lightweight -Looks decent Cons: -Water bucket is slightly awkward to empty. -Wheels could be improved for easy moving. -Filter quality should be improved. Filter is very easy cracked and my filter DOA, though it is diminutive. Overall I would highly recommend this unit. "

"The item is fantastic, takes moisture out of air at fantastic rate, it empties easily and overall works great"
