Tools and Hardware Reviews of Soleus Air CFM-25E 25-Pint Dehumidifier with Humidistat
Customer Review: Efficient and Quiet
Summary: 5 Stars
This dehumidifier works great. It is very quiet, sounds like a typical oscillating 13inch fan. I was very surprised on how little noise it makes. It is also pulls quite a lot of moisture from the air. I have a moist basement and I empty the storage tank once a day. I run the machine literally 24 hours a day and have had no problems at all. I cannot think of anything that would make this product better!Customer Review: Everything I Needed
Summary: 5 Stars
With a damp lower level, I needed something this summer to keep the humidity out while not becoming a major distraction. Larger dehumidifiers did the job but were heavy and loud. The Soleus Air dehumidifier caught my eye as a way of getting some of the benefits of the larger dehumidifiers, while not having to deal with its disadvantages.
I was pleasantly surprised to see how well this product performed. First, it sucks the moisture out of the air like a champ. Running for a few hours a day, I was emptying the tank once a week. The moisture downstairs has subsided signifigantly and the product works as advertised.
Sound wise is another area I was thoroughly impressed. While it's not "whisper quiet", it is quiet enough that you can function normally in the same room as it. You can even sleep with it running without it having too much effect. I'd measure it's noise to that of a medium sized fan.
Overall it's everything I was hoping for out of a dehumidifier. It removes the moisture at a reasonable noise level. It's efficient and most important of all, portable. I can carry it from room to room or to different parts of the house with ease. I would highly recommend this to anyone with a furnished basement looking to eliminate some unneeded moisture while not disrupting your daily lives.
Customer Review: Exactly what we needed!
Summary: 5 Stars
We live in California, where humidity is not an issue, but our 1 room apartment had so much moisture from a leak in the basement below us that the windows were always fogged up and there was mold growing on the walls. After purchasing a hygrometer, we found the humidity level to be at a constant 80%. This dehumidifier did the trick. We've been running it for about a week now, and the humidity level has dropped considerably. It's extremely quiet (sounds like a fan on low speed) and we leave it on all day and night. It's easy to empty and shuts off when full so there's no leaking. We read mixed reviews on Amazon and were hesitant about purchasing, but we are so happy that it worked out!Customer Review: Exceeds Expectations
Summary: 5 Stars
It's refreshing to find a product that exceeds your expecations but this one does. Despite the very attractive Amazon price, it works well and is amazingly quiet. It seems to be well engineered, is well made and is really simple to use. It's literally quieter on the high fan speed than many HEPA air cleaners are on high speed. You really only hear the quiet fan, not the compressor.
I confirmed mine only draws about 210 watts when it's dehumidifying and only about 25 watts when just the fan is on (when the humidistat shuts off the compressor). That's a lot less power than most dehumidifiers require.
If you haven't used a real dehumidifier before, and you can't take advantage of the gravity drain (i.e. set it on a countertop and let it drain into a sink, etc.), be prepared to empty it often. Because it works well and, like most similar models, has a relatively small tank, it may need emptying daily or even more often under really humid conditions. The tank is rated at 6 liters but it shuts off at a bit over 5 liters (about 11 pints) to let you carry the tank without spilling the water.
So it can remove up to 25 pints per day but only holds about 11 pints before shutting off. This isn't a flaw, just something to be aware of. As with any dehumidifier, the water removed from the air has to go somewhere.
Highly recommended!
