12,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner Dehumidifier Fan - EdgeStar Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm on my 3rd season with this unit.
1. Its way more powerful than my GE portable. Keeps the LR cool when the GE would not.
2. This unit, though powerful, is very poorly made.
Example:
All four wheels broke off the first season (my season is June-Aug)
The unit emits a "burnt tire" smell. finally stopped smelling in the 3rd season. Friends are no longer asking, "what's that smell?"
The digital lights went out at the start of the 2nd season, so no warranty to fix.
The directional blades fell off the machine during the second season. Can not be repaired.
The exhaust hose lasted only one season, then fell apart, even though properly stored ($29 + s/h for replacement)
To all those who see nothing but good ratings at the Compact Appl site: They refuse to post any of the real negative stuff. They fix the comment section to reflect only good reviews of 4 stars and more. Not too ethical, no?

DeLonghi DDH30 30-Pint Capacity Dehumidifier Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The first DeLonghi 30-pint unit I received from Amazon looked great but did not function properly; the cooling unit that removes water from the air didn't work. I returned the unit for an exchange. (Amazon gets five stars for their excellent return process). The second unit arrived in good condition and worked for about 2 minutes before the compressor in the cooling unit stopped, never to start again. I tested the unit in an 80 degree bathroom at 100 percent humidity and it did not remove a drop of water from the air. The literature with the unit does not provide any help on this type of malfunction, but does give a Web site address (www.delonghi.com). The Web site had great graphics but no useful information. A note to the company asking if there was any way to solve the problem elicited a recommendation to return the unit.
The DDH30 dehumidifier appears well-made in other respects, but clearly there is a quality control problem with the refrigeration unit, or it is easily damaged during shipment. It appears impossible for a homeowner to open the unit to do any minor repairs, so the only alternative is to return units that don't work. An electrical schematic is located behind the removable water bucket, but isn't very helpful because there isn't any easy way to access the unit's innards. I notice that the controls for the DDH30 are more primitive than the larger models. Perhaps those more sophisticated units are more reliable, but I'm not taking the chance...
In my experience, the DDH30 dehumidifier -- like the DeLonghi web site -- looks great but isn't very useful.

Freezer Temperature Controller Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this to control the temp of my mini-fridge that I use to lager beer in. Basically you plug this unit into the wall and plug your fridge's power plug into it. The thermostat probe is placed inside the fridge and basically shuts off the power to the unit when a certain temp is reached. Because of the way this unit works, you have to set your fridge to the coldest setting. This unit would also be great to turn a deep freezer into a fridge.
Keep in mind if your fridge isn't capable of getting to the temp you set then it will run all the time and possibly damage the compressor on your fridge. Also keep in mind the probe placement is important. If you put the probe in the fridge next to where the cold air blows into the compartment, its going to kick off the fridge before the entire compartment has reached the right temp.
Click Here to see more reviews about: Freezer Temperature Controller
Use this handy controller to regulate the temperature in your freezer between 20 - 80F . Great for turning a chest freezer into a keg refrigerator. Strictly a mechanical thermostat for cooling only, it is simple to use and economical. It operates with a gas filled probe on a 6-foot capillary tube. When the gas contracts or expands in the probe, it triggers a mechanical device inside the control which turns the power on or off. There is no probe temperature readout on the dial, so keeping a thermometer inside the refrigerator is highly recommended to keep track of the actual temperature. On most refrigerators, the Controller will allow a usable range of 37 to 80 F., while on freezers, the controller will be able to reach its full 20 to 80 range. *Keep in mind that if you use it to control a refrigerator, you will lose the use of the freezer compartment for food storage, as it will not stay cold enough for safe frozen food storage. In stock and ready to ship. Features: Made of stainless steel. Adjustable with the turn of a knob. No Drilling necessary. Plug unit into wall and then run the sensor into your freezer. Male and female plug in one. Specs: Temperature dimensions: 4 3/8"H x 2 1/8"W x 1 1/2"D. Cord dimensions: 6'. Remote sensor bulb: 5 1/2"W. Remote sensor bulb capillary tube: 6'. Temperature range: 20 - 80F. Voltage: 120 VAC. . . Includes: Chain hanger kit. Instructions.

Vornado AQS-15 PreSorb Replacement Filters Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Some of HEPA filter units put the carbon behind the HEPA filter, and some put it in front. The Vornado has the carbon as a pre-filter, saving the expensive HEPA portion for particulates. I find I change the carbon filter rather often, and so a four-pack for me is a sensible idea. I absolutely notice when the carbon has loaded with whatever muck is in the air. Then it's time to install a new one, which is not terribly difficult. I'd rather not have the HEPA filter pick up volatile components from the air, so I'd say this pre-filter works very well.

SPT SD-46T 46-Pint Dehumidifier with TiO2 and UV Light Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Really like the size of this unit and it starts right up when you plug it in. Easy to operate and move to any location n the house. It is quiet for a dehumidifier. Only complaint is that the plastic shield to direct air flow is flimsy. We tried to redirect the flow and it fell off. When you try to put it back on it is difficult and one pin broke. Luckily the shield is more window dressing, as the unit works well without it. It has a nice extra feature of an ionizer to purify the air. Not sure if this really works, but we have all breathed easier since we have run this dehumidifier in our home.

Choose between continuous de-humidifying or 50-, 60-, 70-, or 80-percent humidity settings. The unit provides time-delay auto protection, an active carbon filter for removing odor, a removable bucket, a full-bucket indicator with auto shut-off, and a drain hose connection option (hose not included).

Ultrasonic Mist Maker Fountain Fogger Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a really cool product. I bought it as an alternative to fog machines that require chemicals.
Pros: looks great, doesn't need chemicals and won't make weird smells, quiet, acts as a small humidifier, really fun to watch
Cons: won't make nearly as much fog as chemical-based fog machines, needs a specific depth of water to work, shoots water droplets
This is excellent for decorating a coffee table or kitchen counter, but it's not suited for bigger displays.

Little Giant 554425 VCMA-20ULS Condensate Removal 1/30 HP Pump with Safety Switch Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is the top of the line pump for your furance or a/c unit. You just have to clean it out every year. To clean it,just unplug from receptacle,remove the plastic tubing and unloosen 2 screws that hold the unit in place. The "20" in the model number stands for the head pressure,meaning it will pump "UP" to 20 feet (head pressure) However our VCM-15ULS model is great also,does about the same job,and a little bit cheaper. This model will pump up "15" feet head pressure. So either one will work on your system. Just make sure of the proper voltage 120 or 240 volts. Average price range is $35-$65. Ebay has them real cheap. This pump will last for many many years,just clean it out once a year.

Sunpentown Mini Dehumidifier with TiO2 and UV light Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am currently using this in an apartment sized bathroom. The bathroom has no ventilation or even AC so all the moisture just sits in there. It always smelled dank and musty in there, no matter what cleaning products I would use or deodorizers I'd setup in there. Within 24 hours of setting this little guy up(Sits on my bathroom sink countertop.) The smell was gone and it already had well over a cup of water in the tank. It also comes with a thin clear drain hose that allows it to run continuously without having to empty the tank. It has been running for about 2 months now without a single problem.
I only can see a few issues with this device.
1. To me it is loud. Very loud. While this isn't a problem for me due to where it is at, if you are looking to put this somewhere where you need or want quiet like a bedroom, I'd try to find something else. preferably fan-less if possible. (I can drown it out very easily with all the entertainment electronics I run throughout the apartment, but I could imagine it being a problem for someone trying to sleep with this thing running in the same room.
2. I don't care for the tank design. The one time I tried to empty the tank I spilled a good amount of the water into the machine just trying to pull the tank out. So I'd same make sure it's unplugged before emptying the tank. Also the hose comes off easily when I move the unit around which leads to another problem I have with the design. The hose connects to the very top of the tank, meaning the tank has to be full before it starts to drain through the hose. I can see why they did it this way but I would have preferred an option to go without a tank at all.
Of course they are just minor gripes to me. The product does its job well and I have yet to find anything else even close price-wise that can compete.
