 Excellent product November 18, 2008
Screwed by GE
I purchased this product in October after noticing my basement was quite himid and stuffy. The dehumidifier has worked non-stop, quietly and efficiently, and the basement is noticably drier. I anticipate less use over the winter and will ultimately utilize the drain hole to keep from emtpying the unit manually. So far, I would recommend this product without qualification.
Works well. November 15, 2008

Howdy from Jackson Hole!
I remodeled a house, and made it very tight. Consequently, I got a lot of condensation and mold, ruining paint and varnish around the windows. After repainting, the Soleus did the job.
I'm ordering my 2nd Soleus air CFM-40. This first lasted a year. I don't mind, as I expected this. After all, it's a small unit doing a BIG job.
Please note:
-It was quiet throughout its life.
-It kept our 850 sq. foot house dry.
-People have complained about all brands of dehumidifier they run all the time. The units have to. They need to keep sampling air, and keep it moving. Ah well.
-I remember one gentleman was unhappy with this unit as his son had a medical condition which needed low humidity, and the Soleus would only adjust to a certain percentage and go no lower. He was wrong. The unit has a "Continuous" setting also, which keeps it's little drive running 24 hours a day to remove all the humidity it can. That's where I set it during the winter.
Happy Trails!
 Honest Review November 14, 2008

Just got the unit. Its nice looking, easy to move/operate and its pretty quiet. You can watch TV in the same room while this runs and it won't bother you. But it doesn't remove any water, not 1 drop. I have had it running in a basement that recently had some water damage. Its still pretty damp. I was borrowing a friends unit that is large, old and very loud; that one sucked gallons of water out. This one draws out nothing at all after a few days of operation. Maybe this is a defective unit.
 Good product, but a few little annoyances November 10, 2008

The product looks great, and is very quiet. That's wonderful, but there are two small annoyances. I'm taking one star off for this two small failings.
First, they put a big advertising sticker listing various features on the front, and it cannot be removed with a lot of effort. The sticker de-laminates and becomes a sticky mess once you try.
Second, the unit includes a handy cord minder on the rear, but it immediately broke. Basically, it's a nice little holder for the power cord, with a snap to hold it shut. The snap broke the first time I tried to use it.

After reading all the negative reviews about this product, I was really reluctant to purchase it, except that the competition sounded no better. We are living in our RV in wet and rainy western Washington while having our home built. We needed something quiet that was able to operate at low temperatures and be reasonably portable. This one fits the bill on all counts. It is whisper quiet, easy to move around, and is removing about a gallon of water from the air every day. We have only owned it for a month, so I cannot speak to reliability, but so far it has met all expectations. In fact, we just bought a second unit for the POD that is holding our household goods. Two thumbs up.
