Hisense 70-Pint 2-Speed Dehumidifier with Built-In Pump

Screen clogged

After 6 months of use the internal screen on water pump clogged with slime. This can only be cleaned by disassembling the unit. Poor design. Otherwise after one year of use the unit still works well but is now somewhat noisy.

Rather fragile

It seems to pump the water to a nearby sink very well. However, while completing the recommended maintenance of cleaning the filter, a few of the tabs on the air intake grill broke. They are surprisingly very fragile. I called the customer support line and was told I would have to buy replacement grills. This loss wouldn't be covered as I attempted a "repair." This is rather frustrating since the unit has only been in service for a few months. I would be hesitant to buy another Hisense produc...

Old and new comparisons

This dehumidifier works great, however, the one it replaced was a 50 pint size and the bucket on it appears larger that this 70 pint bucket. I have to empty the bucket more often. Not sure if it's just because it's collecting moisture faster or because bucket doesn't hold as much. Overall size of the two units is close to the same with old one slightly larger.

Good unit, many quirks. Keep your receipt!

I am on my third (3rd) Hi Sense Dehumidifier in as many years. But that doesn't mean that they are bad per se, it think overall their Quality Assurance leaves a lot to be desired and if you get a good unit, it has potential to be a great appliance. The luck of the odds however, especially if you read the reviews here, discuss it with store personnel and further drill down on the Internet, will show that this is a 'dicey' purchase. My first Hi Sense replaced a decade old Kenmore, that didn't h...

Don't waste your money and time

I bought this product and it failed after two months. They sent me a new one and it worked terrific for one season now it failed

Fails just after warranty ends

Amazingly just after 1 year it started leaking on the floor. Then it started shutting off as if it's full but it wasn't. This thing is trashed. It never from day 1 read the humidity level correctly.

Hi sense is nonsence (some things)

Three years ago I purchased over $8,000 worth of Hisence kitchen appliances and they have been excellent products. My Frigidaire dehumidifier quit so off to my big box store I went. With my good luck with my kitchen appliances on my mind I purchased a DH70k something dehumidifier and now you can probably guess the rest of my review. While it is easy to use, quieter than Frigidaire it just doesn't remove a quarter of the water and I can't get it to drain into the floor drain.End of story,like His...

Did what I wanted and took care of the job.

It has the right number of bells and whistles. The pump made it easy to deal with and all worked as expected. No manual reading necessary.

Lasts Just Past Warrenty then Quits Dehumidifing

Two stars for the year it ran. Bought the unit in July of 2016. And it stopped working in August of this year. I go on to say that none of the dehumidifiers you find in any of the stores will last much more than three years. If one lasts that long consider yourself fortunate. Some of the industrial dehumidifiers may have some longevity but even those don't get the best reviews, plus they are upwards of 1000 dollars. My recommendation is to shop the lowest cost unit, for the capacity you need, an...

Did not last two years

I purchase this dehumidifier from Lowes in December 2014. Shortly after the warranty expired, the unit stopped working. It would power up and run all day, but not collect a drop of water. The coils would fill with solid ice. Worst of all, neither Lowes nor Hisense would attempt to help me repair or replace the unit.
