Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I did quite a bit of research on this item and a tip I read somewhere online suggested that you find out who made the compressor before buying. My understanding is that there are at least three different compressors on this model. I purchased mine at Home Depot and took it out of the box before buying. You can see the compressor manufacturer through the grill once it's out of the box. Only buy the item if the compressor is made by QINGAN or HICHLY. I purchased a QINGAN and it is whisper quiet and I could tell the difference in our musty damp basement within 12 hours. I have the hose hooked up right to our sump pump so I am not dealing with the bucket and don't know how much water is being pulled out of the air per hour or anything like that. It was super easy to set up - even the hose hook-up. Home Depot was selling it for $200. I have had it for 3 days so time will tell but I am very pleased so far.
Update 9/15/09: The hose hook-up worked well for about a week. Then, no matter how much care we take to hook it up, the water still goes in the bucket! Instead of the hose connecting to the bottom of the bucket and draining the water as it goes in, LG tries to bypass the bucket completely and just isn't working for us. There is nothing in the trouble shooting guide to help. Everyday we have to empty the bucket and since it is running (still quietly, I might add) in an unfinished basement, we have to remember to go down and see if the bucket is full. LG - you need a better design!!! I would drop the star rating to 3 stars if I was able to change my original star rating.
