Haier DE45EJ-L 45 Pint Electronic Dehumidifer, Energy Star Rated Reviews

Customer Ratings:

We had a Haier dehumidifier for a week emptying it occasionally before we realized the automatic shutoff didn't work. It flooded our basement ruining the carpet. Then Haier's insurance company doesn't want to pay for the replacement carpet.

We sent our unit back for replacement. So far nothing, they've had it for a few days but didn't send one out until we called then said they'll send it out.

Poor product, poor customer support, poor relations with claims. No more Haier products for us.

You would think I would learn, but after originally purchasing this item it did not work properly and did not shut off when the bucket was full. It overflowed for days before we realized it and my carpet was ruined. The company seemed helpful and sent me a replacement one which we used for quite awhile with no problem until yesterday...same scenario, more ruined carpet and the company refuses to deal with me because my inital purchase was over a year ago. This is so frustrating because the whole purpose of having a dehumidifier is to keep the moisture out of the room, not to be soaking every towel you can find with the overflow and spending days trying to dry the area out before it mildews. I have two other dehumidifiers in other areas of the house that I have used for years with no problems and my thought is that they are manual and this one is digital. Never again. I've learned my lesson this time.

Purchased this unit in July 2009. It worked fine for that summer and for 2010. Fan and compressor run, but it will not extract moisture in 2011. After the first year, parts are covered under warranty, but not labor. They do not have service stations.

This dehumidifier seems to work ok. It doesn't rattle and shake and it seems to suck moisture out of the air. However, there is a serious flaw with the hose coupling. Sure, it comes with a 3 foot cheap plastic hose that works just fine, but after 2 years, it developed cracks and needed replacement. I went outside and cut off a length off of an old garden hose, and it DID NOT FIT the bucket. I've never heard of a dehumidifier that wouldn't take a standard hose attachment. Good luck finding a replacement drain hose for it and the cap for the back was long gone after two years.

If this happens to you, instead of contacting Haier, which I assumed would be as good at getting me a replacement as they were designing these things, try cobbling something together. Get some plumbers tape and wrap a bunch of it around the male end on the bucket (it is too small for a regular hose attachment). Wrap it until the female end of the hose barely fits on, then tighten the coupling. After that, wrap some more plumbers tape around the outside, until it is completely covered. Then cover with duct tape to make sure. That keeps the hose itself from leaking if it's prone to. Well, it works for now anyway. Bottom line; stay away from this poorly designed humidifier.

First one was purchased in the spring of '09. It worked that year but when starting up the following spring it was dead. Haier replaced it under warranty and the replacement worked last year. This spring the new one is dead. Both had refrigerant leaks and Haier wouldn't replace as you are under the first one year warranty. So thats 2 in 2 years that both failed boy those chinese sure make a good product for Haier. Never a Haier product again !!!!!

What can you say about a filter, makes my humidifier work properly now.

Of course I only use it during the winter months.

What's to review here? It fits my humidifier, and seems to be a better price than in stores. Saved me a trip all over looking for the right model number.

Cheap Air Innovations Clean Mist Digital Humidifier

Customer Ratings:

The item I purchased was listed as a "new" item, however this was clearly not the case and had been used/returned by someone else. Since I recently purchased this exact machine from another vendor, and this was a second unit I purchased I am well aware that this was not new as the plastic was all removed, the styrafoam was missing and the parts were all rattling in the box. Further the unit had already been partially assembled and had water spots inside the water resevoir so it was obvious that it had been used. The unit works fine, however when I purchase a product that claims to be new rather than used I expect to receive a new unit. Because of that I am only giving this two stars for false advertising by the vendor.

Reviews of OSKAR Humidifier

Customer Ratings:

I must be crazy for giving three stars. Here is a brief history of my experience with Oskar Humidifier:

FIRST UNIT. Works fine for one month, then the "no water" light came on even when the unit is filled. (Memo: Do not order from "Wizard Electroland." Seller refuses to reimburse shipping even though the item is defective. Amazon kindly intervenes.)

SECOND UNIT. Order from Amazon. Happy to have my brand new humidifier. Fill gently with water to the exact specified point. Turn "on." Item does not turn on. IT DOES NOT TURN ON.

THIRD UNIT. Order from Amazon. Kind of happy to have my brand new humidifier. It works fine for three days. Then last night at 5 a.m. it wakes me up with a tisk, tisk, tisk, risk sound. Sound mysteriously disappears; I fall back asleep and have bad dreams about humidifiers.

I also must be crazy for ordering three of these, but here is why: It is nearly impossible to find a non-ultrasonic humidifier. The design and size are perfect for my apartment. Cleaning and refilling (the most onerous parts of humidifying) are easy. It is made by a Swiss company (used to mean something) and they have very good customer service. (I contacted them for more detailed cleaning instructions than the manual provides.)

I don't know what else to say. In theory it is the perfect humidifier, but order at your own risk.

I can't think of any product I've been more disappointed in that I've purchased from Amazon. This humidifier is all aesthetics and zero quality. For $150 you'd expect a certain amount of build quality from a humidifier, not cheap flimsy plastic that feels like the slightest stress could break it. The design of the humidifier makes it very easy to spill water if you bump into it, there's nothing keeping the water in the reservoir other than gravity. Most disappointing, the blue LEDs are slowly dying one at a time... I'm down to 3 left, soon I'll have no idea what fan speed or humidity level I have selected. I've noticed that the slightest bump can fool this thing into thinking it's out of water, which is a bad thing if you have kids or pets in the house since it will automatically shut off when empty. You could easily pick up a humidified for 1/3 the price that will do the exact same job. I may as well have burned a $100 bill... DO NOT waste your money on this one, anything is better than this.

Best Deals for OSKAR Humidifier

We've tried a number of different humdifiers for our daughter's room. Most of them are loud, spew white dust (hard water here), are difficult to fill, and don't automatically shut off.

The Oskar, while more expensive than many others, addresses all of those concerns.

Pro's

-It's amazingly quiet

-You can fill it without taking it apart

-You can turn down the blue LEDs

-Doesn't fill the room with white dust

-Unlike another reviewer, I thought it was pretty easy to see the fill line (but that could be my room's lighting)

-Stylish!

Cons

-Spendy

-It's lightweight plastic, which isn't immediately apparent from the pictures. Not a major con, but I though it would be more substantial.

Overall, it's amazing. So much so that I bought another one today.

Honest reviews on OSKAR Humidifier

So far, I like this humidifier. I have two. The other is an Air-O-Swiss U650. The OSKAR is very quiet (though the Air-O-Swiss is, too), and since it is evaporative, there is no mist and no white dust (which the Air-O-Swiss does produce). The OSKAR emits cool air, which does seem to cool the environment a tiny bit, but that's not a big deal. I did, however, read somewhere that heating may do a better job of killing bacteria. Anyway, the OSKAR does a great job of reaching the targeted humidity level. My only complaints are that its features aren't that helpful there are only a few buttons, it doesn't tell you the current humidity level (the Air-O-Swiss does), and you have to remember what one bar, two bars, three bars, etc. mean (each one corresponds to a specific target humidity level). Lastly, one thing I really don't like is that it's very difficult to see inside the unit and to tell how much to fill it with water. It says to fill it to the top of the stick, but squinting and looking inside, it's hard for me to tell when I've reached that point, and I've overfilled it, which leads to flooding. However, I do like the fact that you can fill it without having to remove a big tank and carry it to the kitchen sink (which you do have to do with the Air-O-Swiss it spills water as I am walking, so it creates a mess). You can put water in the OSKAR without even moving it. Overall, it's light on functionality but looks nice and does a good job.

Right now it is flooded with water and it still only reads 75%. I bet i could submerge it in water and it still wouldn't go above 80 %.

Best Skuttle Model 2001 and 2101 24 Volt Solenoid Valve Deals

Customer Ratings:

Just purchased a home with two humidifiers. Solenoids are 10 years old and evidently previous owners performed on maintenance. One old one was completely inoperative and I replaced it, the other partially blocked but should hold up for another season. Both old solenoids buzzed at ac line rate so I am not enthusiastic about the durability of the "oem" parts, but they are easy enough to replace with this solenoid and came with reasonable directions. The new solenoid works and is quiet.

The unit directions were written with "in and out". Unit came with "1 and 2". No email response from the supplier. 1 is out. Would have thought it was the other way around.
