Loud Motor..., May 28, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: DeLonghi DDE40E 40-Pint-Capacity Dehumidifier (Kitchen)
All the features listed above are true to form for this machine. However, the big disappointment is how loud the unit is! Picture living with a hair dryer on all the time... not good. Loudness aside, it does do a great job. Living in the midwest, I would opt for the 60-pint size- I am emptying the unit almost every 8 hours.

Worst product ever..., August 24, 2005
This review is from: DeLonghi DDE40E 40-Pint-Capacity Dehumidifier (Kitchen)
Can't speak much about actually using this product. When I received it and unboxed it, it was destroyed. Straight from the factory. No damage to the box or during shipment. Pieces were actually broken off the fact and the metal encasement was bent, but no plastic was inside the box. So, it was dropped before it was packaged at the factory, packaged anyway and then subsequently returned to Amazon. Buy from Amazon, just not this company.

My worst purchase at amazon.com, August 5, 2004
This review is from: DeLonghi DDE40E 40-Pint-Capacity Dehumidifier (Kitchen)
Purchasing this item was my biggest mistake in four years buying at amazon.com.
First, don't think you are buying an italian product. This is a PRC product and it shows (why these manufacturers don't even want to mark their product honestly, like Made in China in this case?).
The package was was very poor and one of the side panels was damaged (dented).
The filter cover was also damaged and the control panel was scratched (without protection). The tank was dirty, like it has been previously used.
The assembly is very poor with the side panels loosed.
The sterofoam pacakage was too weak (too thin), and arrived broken. The bottom protection was also very dirty (like water damage).
My overall impression is that this product is being made under very poor manufacturing conditions. It finish and package is closer to these products you can find at the dollar store.
I'm now trying to return this product back to Amazon.com. If I'm successful returning this product to Amazon.com I will update my commentary to cover also Amazon's returns service.
