The Haier 45-Pint Dehumidifier is one of the newer models in the market but the brand is already making a name for itself in terms of its features. This model is said to be especially engineered to meet the dehumidification needs of its users by making the air indoors stay warm and comfortable. Its features include an auto defrost setting, an automatic humidistat control and an extra large bucket with up to 25 pints capacity placed in front of the unit for easy accessibility.

The unit’s washable filters are also placed at a more accessible location while low temperature operation is possible. A pre-drilled drain that can connect with 3 water hoses are included in this unit which can support dehumidification of up to 45 pints a day.

Optimal dehumidification can be done throughout the day with standard use. A mechanical control is also available which allows users to manage the device manually, while the power supply is consistent with 115 V/60Hz.

Poor Performance
Despite the features that this model boasts of, a lot of users are very dissatisfied with their use of the Haier DM45EA Dehumidifier. Most complain of the product breaking down after several uses and having problems with using the warranty for the replacement or repair of the unit.

These include delays in responding to customer complaints and several users have even had to send back the unit several times for replacement and repairs.

Despite the product’s one-year warranty, users who have tried to avail of this warranty to try to replace and repair their unit have encountered problems with the company’s customer service.

Haier HDN655E Dehumidifier Review

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:52:12 +0000

The Haier HDN655E is high-tech, with electronic controls and a digital humidity display. It looks great, has great features, and easy to use,

Haier HDN655E 65 Pint Dehumidifier Specifications

LED display of humidity and temperature
Low-temp operation down to 41 degrees Fahrenheit
Auto shut-off and defrost
12 hour on / off timer
ENERGY STAR qualified
Product Dimensions -
- 12.6 x 15 x 23 inches
- 42 pounds

The Haier HDN655E 65-Pint Capacity Electronic Control Dehumidifier has a digital humidity display, providing exact measurement of the moisture in your home. It has easy-to-use electronic controls, making dehumidifying an effortless task. It is ENERGY STAR® qualified, giving you savings on your electric bill.

Advantages

The electronic controls, the humidity setting and the timer for auto shutoff make this model easy to use. The instructions are easy to follow. This dehumidifier extracts humidity well and in a short period of time. It has an air output vent on the top that discharges dehumidified, dry, fresh air. It has a front water bucket for easy access.

The handle on the bucket makes it convenient when emptying the water. It has a large holding capacity. With the hose draining all condensed water into the Sump pump well, it doesn’t need any maintenance.

This dehumidifier performs well even in the basement. Here’s what a reviewer has to say: “I’ve been using this for about 10 months now, in the basement and it’s been on almost continuously since day one. I didn’t have any major problems yet. As far as I know, it performs well because I do not see any condensation or mold in the basement.”

Disadvantages

The most common complaints about the Haier HDN655E 65-Pint Capacity Electronic Control Dehumidifier is that it’s a bit loud. Here is one review from a customer: “It is a little noisy. I used to think that I didn’t care about this feature. But, it will draw attention if guests are over. Other units I have are much quieter. But, it sounds like a floor fan on high speed, nothing more.

So, if you don’t care about a high speed fan sound in the room when operating, then this shouldn’t matter. But, if you don’t want the sound of a floor fan on high speed, then this unit is probably not for you.”

Conclusion

The Haier HDN655E 65-Pint Capacity Electronic Control Dehumidifier is good at keeping your basement dry. It is easy to use, with its electronic controls, humidity setting, and timer for auto shutoff. It performs well but is a little noisy. It is important to think about this before buying. If the noise is not a real big deal to you, then this model may work for you.
