I bought this through Target--their reviews said it was great! It seemed to dehumidify, although slowly. However, I was concerned that the "brick" on the AC cord was hot, so hot that I couldn't hold it for more than a few seconds. I found out online that such a problem could be a fire hazard! I called the company, Sunpentown, and they mailed out another cord with the instructions that if this one was also abnormally hot (which it was), I should mail the whole unit back (which I did). Sounds like they've had this problem more than once before. The replacement unit also has a really hot cord. So I suppose this merry-go-round will continue until they hopefully refund my money.

Pass on this. Our apartment is very humid. We've had this running for a month in our bathroom, and emptied it once- it was only half full.

The unit worked ok until the plug melted. The part of the plug that connects to the unit got so hot it melted the plastic. Major fire hazard. I am going to see if I can get a refund.

This product is totally worthless. I ran this for five days and it only collected about 1 ounce of water. And I had 55% humidity in my house! It is worthless. I had it in a tiny room and it didn't drop the humidity 1%. It is also very loud and the AC block gets super hot. A sure sign of a worthless poorly made piece of junk.

The worse part is, I ordered it here on Amazon, but some other company shipped it to me. Now Amazon won't give me a refund. They say to email them and they will set up a procedure for you to return the item. I have e-mail twice over the past three days and nothing!

I needed a dehumidifier for making screens for screen printing on t-shirts. I went to Lowes and bought a small $150 unit. In a few hours the humidity in the room dropped from over 50 to the low 40's and it had collected about eight ounces.

Take my advice. Buying a $50 humidifier was a huge mistake and a waste of time. I will seriously think twice about ever ordering from amazon.com. Call me old fashion but I think I should be able to return a product to the store(in this case website) I bought it from. Imagine buying something from Lowes that is defective, then when you try to return it they say. Oh you can't return that here. You have to return it to Joe's Hardware!

I would give this product and Amazon.com negative stars if I could.

I'm using this in my small (8x10) workshop which is outdoors separate from the house and requires reducing humidity due to tools and bicycles stored out there. It puts out some heat so that needs to be considered (for a living space) but otherwise there is always water to discard and the humidity level is lower.

This thing is a piece of junk. It runs hot and actually didn't do nothing for the humidity problems. At times it made things worse. Save your money and put it towards a dehumidifier that actually works.

I just set this up in my room just across the bathroom, and in 2 days have already collected about 2" of water. I can tell a difference in my room already. It is quiet and really doing the job. Highly recommended for small house!

Excellent products, it works very good, in 3 hours collects 1 inch of water. I have 4 and all works very good.

I purchased this SAME product about 2-3 years ago for an 8x10 basement closet. I LOVED it! However, it worked for only about 2 years & stopped even though I didn't used it much in the winter months. Even so, I STILL purchased another one which I am now reviewing.

In my opinion, it should have a longer lifespan than 2-3 years, but I thought I would take a chance & purchase another anyway. Only time will tell.

Also, when first using this product, it emitted a strange odor, but I don't remember the first one doing that. Thinking back, I should have plugged it in the garage or another location until the odor was gone.

This product would have received a 5 star rating from me, if the first one had lasted longer.

The dehumidifier is small, sleek and silent. Extremely silent. I can't say if it captures all the humidity, but I know that is does somewhat because the canister always has water in it. I do recommend this item be used in small rooms though. I love the look of it and how silent it is.
