Tools and Hardware Reviews of Soleus Air CFM-25E 25-Pint Dehumidifier with Humidistat
Customer Review: Does a Great Job
Summary: 5 Stars
Update -- 2 years 11 monthes later.Has worked great all this time, but died today. We got our money's worth. Just ordered another. If it lasts as long, we will be happy.
We have had the unit about five months and it has solved our problem. Emptying the water every couple of days was a pain, but confirmed how much water this little unit was acutally pulling out of the air. We recently installed a drain hose as per the instructions, and it works great.
The unit is very quiet. I didn't appreciate it until I recently spent a sleepless night in a motel room with a competitor's product. The noise level difference was truly amazing and prompted me to write this review. I'm so glad that I didn't buy the other product.
Customer Review: Does a great job........quietly
Summary: 5 Stars
We have a damp basement and finally decided to get a dehumidifier. The first one we bought worked so well we got 2 more since our basement is large but separated into 4 rooms.
They work great and quietly. We had bought a Whirlpool and returned it because the noise was driving me crazy and actually the wattage was higher and more costly to run.
Can't go wrong with this machine.
Customer Review: Does everything promised but DEHUMIDIFY!!
Summary: 1 Stars
Yes, it is nicely designed, portable, runs quietly and doesn't throw off much heat. Now if it only functioned as a dehumidifier! In a damp bedroom, reducing the relative humidity by a mere 5% is unacceptable. Perhaps this new unit isn't even working properly. Back to my loud, hot but DRY Sears unit.Customer Review: Does its job perfectly
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought it about a month ago. It's been working effectively in my basement and making the 800 sqr-ft area nice and dry. The noise is minimum. Normally you don't hear it unless you listen to it purposely. The settings are very easily understandable.
There are a few things you may want to keep in mind:
1. Fan is always on no matter it is dehumidifying or not.
2. I usually want to set the dehumidifying level to 'dry' (50%). Each time when I power it off and then on, however, level is always restored to 'continuous'. So I have to reset it. But no big deal - just one click - as long as I can remember.
3. The user's manual only gives size of the water pipe in millimeter. I found out that ID-5/8" OD-3/4" is a perfect fit to the pipe.
Over all, strongly recommended!
Customer Review: Does the job and quietly, too.

For its price, low power consumption and quiet operation, the CFM-25E Dehumidifier is hard to beat. We used to own an old dehumidifier (forgot the brand) but we left it when we moved to this house. It was good at getting water from the air but was annoyingly noisy. Last year my wife noticed mildew forming on some clothes hanging in the basement. So I got this CFM-25E this winter and it started removing water from the air after 2 hours of running until it had a gallon over 2 days. I also got a combination thermometer and hygrometer to monitor temperature and humidity. Before dehumidification, basement temperature was at 70 deg F and humidity was 61%. The basement smelled and felt damp. After running the dehumidifier for 2 days, a gallon of water was removed from the air. The humidity was down to 55% with the temperature still at 70 deg F. Gone were the smell and feel of dampness. I noticed that if the outside temperature dips down to the 40's, hardly any water was removed at all. To conserve power, I turn it off once the hygrometer goes down to 55% or when I see no more water being removed from the air. I wish it had a timer feature or it allowed itself to be controlled by an external timer. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. Our basement smells fresh and I can see this dehumidifier being used heavily in the spring when the outside temperature goes up and the air turns very humid.
