Soleus CFM40

Pros: Operates as advertised during its short life time

Cons: Poor reliability, no re-start after power interruption

The Bottom Line: Purchasing a Soleus CFM-40 seems like a waste of money. You would expect a dehumidifier to last longer.

Review: I've had two Soleus CFM-40 dehumidifiers. Each one lasted about 7 months. If you purchase one, keep your receipt, the box and the packaging. There's a one year warranty. It cost me about $80 to have the first one packaged and shipped back through...

Pros: Quiet when it worked, external hose connector.

Cons: Did not dehumidify as well as others, stopped working after two years

Review: Bought the CFM-40E in 5/06 after reading rave reviews and tired of replacing the units sold at bix-box discount stores. Was impressed at how quiet it ran and ease of connecting hose output. But it never dried out the basement as well as prior units...

Pros: Quiet, quiet, quiet!

Cons: Doesn't roll as easily as I would have liked.

Review: I have asthma which is aggravated by humidity, so I must run a dehumidifier constantly. I have an old Kenmore that is very noisy and puts out a lot of heat. The Soleus is so quiet, you hardly know it's running. I love this machine and am going to...

Pros: Good looking appearance

Cons: No handle to carry the water container when full.

Review: I've owned two of these units in the last two years and both failed to defrost themselves just after the one year warranty ran out. Chinese made JUNK. Buy something with a longer warranty.

Pros: Quiet; reasonably priced; seems to operate efficiently without generating a lot of heat.

Cons: None yet.

Review: I purchased the Soleus CFM-40 solely based upon favorable reviews on this site and others. Not available in any stores locally, I couldn't even see it prior to purchase. But being dissatisfied with an LG 65-pt dehumidifier I had just purchased (it...

Pros: Quiet, energy friendly, easy to use, and what else, oh yeah, quiet.

Cons: I heard the Customer Service of Soleus is horrible. Hope I don't need it.

Review: I ordered this unit from iAllergy.com after hearing some of the other web sites offering lower prices were really the same company under different names. iAllergy.com was very helpful and offered free shipping.
Within hours I noticed my...

Pros: quite operation, works well on continuous run.

Cons: Sorry Warranty, Technical Support. Humidity level settings are useless. Customer Service people are clueless.

The Bottom Line: I would not buy this dehumidifier. Choose another brand that will service what they sell.

Review: I bought a Soleus CFM-40 Dehumidifier last November based on ratings and recomendations. The unit is quite and works very well on continuous run. The humidity level settings are worthless. The customer service is uniformed and sorry. After much,...

Pros: Compact quite and easy to use. Effective in removing humidity.

Cons: Died after 1 year. Fan still works though.

Review: I bought this unit at Menards in May of 2006 to control the humidity level in our laundry room. It worked quite well.
Would empty water storage bucket daily. However in June of 2007 the unit stopped dehumidifying. After reading the warranty was...

Pros: Extremely quiet Uses only 260 watts (High) Does a great job of removing moisture

Cons: Small: Fan stays running all the time (even when the compressor is off).

The Bottom Line: Skip over most of the lower priced whirlpools, kenmores, and other big store "bargains". Go for the Soleus if you want quiet, efficient dehumidification.

Review: We spent a long time researching dehumidifiers knowing that its size and noise would be very apparent in our relatively small living space. A dehumidifier is vital to us here in Western Oregon, where the humidity outside rarely goes below 90% in the...

Pros: Very quiet.

Cons: None so far.

Review: We were having humidity problems in our house so we wanted to buy a dehumidifier. Not having any prior product information I came here to find out what was the best unit to buy. Well I could not be any happier. Great unit, runs very quiet, and works...
