Comments about DeLonghi DD45 Dehumidifier:

We bought this after hurricane Irene flooded our newly finished basement. Works great drying the basement out. Is very, very loud. After about a year it began to leak water all over the floor. Attched garden house to it and tilted it back slightly. Now it drains to the sump pit. No more leaks. Should not haver leaked in the first palce

This dehumidifier has changed the entire state of our 3 story town home. After a rainy summer, the first floor, built into the foundation, was very damp. We even had a little water damage, which we had fixed. This unit has been amazing. No more musty smell and everything is bone dry. It even cleared up a musty smell in an upstairs bedroom. Works great, is quiet, and totally programmable. Price point was less than home depot. Shipping was free and it arrived within 24 hours from when I ordered. Couldn't have been happier!

the Delonghi dd45 units performed faultlessly 24 hrs a day for many days after the storm,the humidity level control is super,our home is once again liveable with no wet moldy odors

Comments about DeLonghi DD45 Dehumidifier:

Great little machine! Looks nice and is easy to empty when full w/ the front container removal. A little noisier than expected but not that bad at all. If needed I would purchase another.

I have two old dehumidifiers for my basement and bought this one because of the low temperature operation feature - one of my old ones was freezing over at 65°F. I have had this new unit for a month now and like it. The main drawback I found that it has compared to the old units is that it does not shut off when it reaches the desired humidity setting; it shuts off the condensor but continues to run the fan. So, I just shut it off at night and run it during the day. I do not use the timer option because it has to be reset every time anyway.

I liked that it came with a clear plastic 3-foot drain hose. My old unit has a cut off garden hose on it, which occasionally gets plugged. You can easily see through the clear plastic one, so that should not be a problem. It would have been better if the hose was longer, though, but you can always attach a garden hose to it anyway if that is a concern.

It has a nice digital readout that shows the current humidity and target setting, and you can scroll through the readout to get the temperature in both °F and °C.

I have a 20+ years Fridgidaire unit that's whisper quiet. I loaned the Fridgidaire unit and the bucket got lost. I read the review on the Fridgidaire 50-Pint Dehumidifier and this unit. I bought this because of the pump feature. What a mistake, I don't know if the new Fridgidaire unit is any better, but DeLonghi is loud. I should have looked for the replacement bucket for the old Fridgidaire. I may just do that.... I regret my decision.

I've had the dehumidifier for 1 month now and it is working well. We can definitely feel the difference in our basement. I like how the dehumidifier came with a hose plug that screws in or out, that way you can change how the unit drains. Of small note, the dehumidifier only has TWO speeds, not the 3 speeds the product description details. If I could change one thing about the product it would be that it would totally shut off when the desired humidity level is reached, and then cycle back on as needed. The fan on this unit runs continuously whether it is dehumidifying or not. Maybe this is better for the motor, but might not be better for my electricity bill.

I really like my DeLonghi dehumidifier. I like the read out options, the two fan speeds, which my two Whirlpool dehumidifiers do not have. It does an excellent job for me.
