Amazon.com is the best source we've found for reviews for dehumidifiers, with many models receiving dozens of owner-written ratings. Soleus dehumidifiers receive a large number of reviews (more than 100 for… several models) and although most are positive, we found some customer-service horror stories as well. Other well-reviewed models include the Frigidaire 70-Pint Dehumidifier, the Bionaire 20-Pint Dehumidifier BDQ24-UC, the DeLonghi DE400 40-Pint Dehumidifier, and the Eva-Dry EDV-E-500 Renewable Wireless Mini Dehumidifier. Although not comprehensive, these reviews are helpful for narrowing the field and determining durability.

In this undated video segment, engineers for the Good Housekeeping Institute test several dehumidifiers for effectiveness, noise level and overall usability. The researchers find that the Kenmore 45-Pint… Dehumidifier performs the best overall, with the GoldStar DH4010B coming in a close second. However, editors don't tell us which models don't make the cut, and this undated review is old enough that both of the recommended models have been discontinued. The video does provide a few general tips for choosing and using a dehumidifier.

AllergyBuyersClub.com sells a variety of dehumidifiers catering to the allergy market. The website provides reviews, listing pros and cons of each unit's features, although it doesn't seem as if the… dehumidifiers have been tested. Most dehumidifiers also have only one or two owner-written reviews. The highest-rated home dehumidifiers are -- coincidentally -- the most expensive (from about $1,000 to $5,000), though the explanations for their five-star reviews are really never fully explained and there are no critical, detailed comparisons. Almost all of the dehumidifiers receive a rating of "excellent" or "very good." Highly rated machines include the Santa Fe Rx Whole Home Dehumidifier and the Comfort-Aire 130 Whole House Dehumidifier.

Sears.com allows consumers to write reviews and ratings for the dehumidifiers it sells. Since no other retailer sells Kenmore models, this is the best place to find owner-written reviews on Kenmore… dehumidifiers. There are a great number of negative reviews here, including some on models highly rated by professionals elsewhere. They do help to illustrate some issues that may arise over time. All but one dehumidifier receives poor overall reviews. The one dehumidifier that gets a good score -- the Frigidaire FDF70S1 70 Pint -- is reviewed by only a couple owners.
by Editors of Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers
The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers is a trade association. A downloadable PDF file lists both the manufacturers who participate in AHAM's independent product-testing program and several dozen… dehumidifier models that meet association criteria for water removal and energy consumption. No ratings are included, however. Rather, this is a helpful site for comparing product performance before you buy. It's disappointing that the report directory doesn't seem to have been updated in more than four years.
