Avoid Delonghi Dehumidifier
I've owned this product for about 2 years. It has stopped working. The pump stopped working after about 6 months. It rattled a few weeks after purchase. It did a great job dehumidifying our basement for as long as it lasted. I wouldn't recommend.

Pump stopped working just after warranty.
This unit worked great the first summer I owned it. Humid summers in New England, stinky basements. This summer, I plugged it in and set it up again and it worked for about a week. Then the pump stopped working. The small bucket fills up so fast you only get a couple of hours out of it. So I punched a hole in the bucket for the drain hose, but it's only 3 feet long so I had to relocate the unit to a corner of my basement by the sump pump hole and it doesn't do such a good job now. I bought the unit for the pump, and now - like many others here - it's broken. Based on this, and the review of others here it's basically useless unless you can empty it like 12 times a day...

Lacks durability
I purchased this unit a year and a half ago and the pump does not work and my unit, as mentioned by others, also leaks out of the bottom from the enclosed plastic casing (pump here??). The service department was not helpful since it is beyond the warranty. It would cost me at least 100$ to ship, never mind repairs. Not worth the price and frustration.

Great but a little loud
We have two of these units in our basement. They have worked well at maintaining an acceptable humidity level but with the pump action engaged they are audible upstairs in the family room. It is a low drone but perhaps in future models it could be eliminated.
