LG Electronics DH404E Dehumidifier

I bought this when I was living in New Jersey. It is my first dehumidifier and I may have been expecting too much.

It removes plenty of moisture and works great. When the bucket is full it shuts itself off. You have the option of connecting it to a hose and let it run indefinitely with no water collection. Don't set it on max, because a room that is TOO dry is also uncomfortable. You can set it as low as 40% humidity, and can increase this in increments of 10% to Max.

Main problem is that it runs very hot. It will heat the room in which it is placed. On a hot humid day the last thing you want is a hotter dry day. This is not one of those units you would want to put in your bedroom.

It is not really quiet. I don't know if it is quieter than other dehumidifiers, but it produces the same amount of sound as a room air-conditioner.

Purchaced unit for basement and it worked great for the first year & 1/2 but it no longer works properly. It seems the compressor doesnt work any longer. Fan works and the compressor is running just not getting the radiator cold to remove the moister, just sucking my electricity. I had to switch back to my old unit that I have had for approx 12 years and still works great once I fixed the switch. wish they still made them like that. LG is loosing in my mind. my 1 year old LG dishwasher is starting to piss me off now. NO MORE LG

This humidifier performed exactly as advertised, and I could set the humidity % level to whatever we wanted in our basement. While I agree that it makes the room warmer, this is not for bedrooms. this is for a basement that can stay cool naturally. This is not a room A/C with dehumidifier, which are differnt, and better for living areas.

So it performed admirably for 3 years in our damp (not wet) basement. Then this year, when we went to turn it on, it did not. Taking it apart revealed that the circuit board is shot. I am thinking of looking for a mechanical version next time, not digital. The controls were cool, but I don't need them. Now I probably need to replace the whole unit, as the repair would be $100.

HINT: we did not see that there is a removable air filter inside. This should be cleaned periodically (if even once a year) to keep the coils free. Like a frig.

So it worked great, lasted a few years, but not as long as I would expect for a relatively expensive appliance.

This dehumidifier works just as advertised! It is quieter than our last one, and provides just as much of a fresh scent to our basement.

I had purchased the first one about 4 years ago. It did work well and did what is was supposed to do. I felt that it was not easy to dispose the water that gets collected in the container. Though it looks good and did its job, my main problem is it stops working after couple of years.

I again bought the same brand couple of years ago. It stopped working again now. The next one I am going to try something else. I do not believe this product is reliable. I thinks this also makes more sound, but since I did not try others yet, don't know if others will be better.
