LG Electronics DH404E Dehumidifier

LG Electronics DH404E DehumidifierI 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.

Craftsman's Bench 25-Cigar Humidor Cavalier

Craftsman's Bench 25-Cigar Humidor CavalierI bought this humidor and was very sceptical. After seasoning it, the thing hasn't disappointed me yet. I couldn't be happier and it works as well for my stogies as my uncles $100+ humidor, definite buy.

This is a great humidor for the price. Craftsman's Bench is a great brand and makes a solid product. This is the 2nd CB humidor I've bought, and have been very happy with how well they hold humidity, especially in the arid environment of West Texas where I live.

Optimus U-31005 2.0 Gallon Cool Mist Ultrasonic Humidifier

Optimus U-31005 2.0 Gallon Cool Mist Ultrasonic HumidifierThis Humidifier is so much better than the fancy one by sharper image that I had and then returned;

1. It only has one tank to fill (1.6 gallon capacity). It was a pain to have to fill each of the two tanks on the Sharper Image one.

2. It actually has a humidistat control. The more expensive(way more) sharper image one did not.

3. It has a built-in ionizer. (I don't use it, but still)

4. PRICE; Other fancier looking humidifiers will cost way more and have way less features.

5. The tank has a pretty big opening to pour water in. This makes it easier to fill. I also like that it will stand up on a flat surface while refilling it.

My only gripes:

1. Just to make it clear, power consumption is 45W. I wish Optimus would have printed that in the manual or on the box instead of me having to look on the underside of the unit's base for this piece of info. I'm not complaining about how much power it takes; just make the information easier to find, Optimus.

2. The humidistat control doesn't show what relative humidity % you have it set at. You kinda have to guess or use a hygrometer to know for sure. If it had a digital readout on the Humidistat, this would be 5 stars for sure. This is not really a complaint for me, but just a way they could make the product even better.

Overall this is a good one because it has a decent sized water tank and will keep the humidity at a constant level without having to fiddle with the dials constantly. It is pretty much set it and forget it except for refilling it with water of course. A little tip: use reverse osmosis or distilled water in it and you'll probably rarely, if ever, have to clean it.

I tried the WalMart and Walgreens humidifiers but the seals didn't work and you have to buy the fiber filters which fall apart in a couplt of months. The cost was about $30 but they just weren't working well. I tried the Optimus 2 gallon and I liked the fact that there is no filter required, it is easy to fill, and it has adjustable humidity flow. It is a lot quieter too. It costs $50. I was very pleased, so I bought another one for my son.

I received this item on the 11th of February. From the moment I turned it on it worked perfectly. The unit makes litterally no noise. The output is perfect for a medium sized room. It even has an ionizer built in. The comfort since its activation in the room is 10 fold. We do not wake up with dry lips or mouth. It's easier to breathe. Overall I would highly recommend this humidifer. For the quality and price its a steal.

X-Pack Military Water Filter

X-Pack Military Water FilterThe unit is heavy to carry, only purifies limited amounts of water, and and I was stupid to buy it. Just get a Katadyn microfilter and some empty folding 5 gallon water bottles, and be done with it. You do not need this device.

These were a very good price for these kind of filters. Whatever you purchase, be sure to check out the cost of the replacement wicks. These were the best prices I could find so would certainly recommend this seller! Just wish the manufacturer sold them in larger/discount quantities.

Sunpentown SF-610 Evaporative Air Cooler with Ionizer

Sunpentown SF-610 Evaporative Air Cooler with IonizerI have had evaportative coolers for 60 years and this is the absolute poorest excuse for a cooler I have ever seen. The motor is loud, the fan does not produce much air, and the cooling is non-existant. I tried the water, the ice, and the ice packs and the air was not cooled and the fan does not circulate the air.

I really think the SPT SF-610 Portable Evaporative Air Cooler with Ionizer is a great product for the price. It is tall and slim and fits most anywhere. It can be moved easily and when ice cubes are placed in the top compartment, the air definitely becomes cooler and keeps my home down to 75 degrees when it is 90 degrees outside. The ionizer creates fresh air so I don't have to leave windows open and that keeps my home a lot cleaner. It has a timer and swinging louvers to distribute air evenly. In addition to that it has a "natural" mode that simulates a gust of air and then pauses. Because it is not an air conditioner, it is economical like a fan to operate. I think many people resort to negativity when reviewing a product such as this, because maybe their home is not properly insulated or maybe they do not have double paned windows. It is certainly not as loud as a window air conditioner and definitely not as expensive to run. Also, if you leave clutter in front of it, of course the flow of air will be blocked. These are just common sense considerations.
