 Don't invest in a bad stock! October 11, 2008
I first tried out a few noisy dehumidifiers from local stores, which went back due to high noise level. After reading and rereading the Soleus reviews, balancing the good and the ugly, I was gambling on "getting lucky." Purchased the Soleus 40 pint dehumidifier from Amazon in July 2008 for $216.00.
Up until a few days ago, I thought I got lucky - heck,
a full water bucket daily was proof of its effectiveness since I sure couldn't hear the slightest sound it made as close as 2 ft. away from the device. That all changed a few days ago. I noticed the humidity reading in my upstairs rising, yet weather conditions have been somewhat dry lately in the Chicago area. Well, after 2 days not seeing the red indicator light, I discovered the bucket had only an inch of water and the basement really seemed damp. That explained the higher humidity reading. A day later, the water remains the same. It's running, but not collecting moisture. Sound familiar? Now the nightmare of dealing with Soleus.
The timing of this crash couldn't come at a worse time. It feels like a bad stock.
soleus air cfm-40 E 40-pint dehumidifer October 11, 2008
The product works well. The only thing that I thought was odd was the fact that it blew warm air. The last one I bought was in 1990 so it was quite different.
Great Product, Easy to Use, good electrical savings, quiet October 2, 2008
I purchased this dehmidifier and I am VERY pleased with the product so far. It does not use much electricity, it is not noisy (we have one off our main living room and it can barely be heard and it is not in quiet mode. The first night it was on it took more than 1 full can of water out of the air and we are very impressed. We are ordering 2 more just like it!
 aswesome product October 2, 2008
I have been using this product for 1 1/2 years. I was a little leary at first because of some of the negative reviews. I have a basement apartment and wasn't sure how well it would work. It has worked better than I expected.
During the wet season I have to empty it daily. That isn't a big deal since the reservoir is not as heavy or awkward to pull out as my old klunker was. Having a front reservoir is very helpful. It also doesn't put out as much heat as my old one. I generally keep it on high during the wet season.
It is very quiet. We lost the air conditioning for a few weeks I ended up sleeping in the living room where the unit is. It never bothered my sleep. When I watch tv I never have to turn it down or off, unlike my air purifier. The unit is nice looking compared to my old klunker. I am very please with it.
As far as not turning back on after a power outage it isn't a big issue. With the power coming back on you wouldn't want everything to come back on at the same time.

Better than expected September 30, 2008
I had a Whirlpool for almost two years before it went low on coolant and started freezing up. Took a chance on the CFM-40 and was pleasantly surprised. By comparison it's nearly silent-- can't even hear the compressor, just a gentle whoosh of the fan even on high. It's also much smaller and yet it collects more water per hour. The only suggestion is that it be easier to attach a drain hose.
