Ratings & Reviews for LG Puricare 50-Pint 2-Speed Dehumidifier

Fire Hazard

After less than 4 years is not functioning properly. Seems to be a known problem after reading other reviews. Stays on even when turned off. Runs hot and non-stop. I am sure it is a fire hazard. When set at 50% found still running when room at 30%. I turned it off. It will turn back on on its own with no display lights on. Spent too much money on this product to have it quit now.

Puricar 50 PT. Dehumidifier (Black) Lg

Had the puricare dehumidifier for 4 years and now it just keeps running when power is turned off, and is warm to the touch. Conserved of fire Hazzard and safety of my family. To much money spent for this to happen. LG normally has quality products but this is very concerning. Still have the receipt, Need support to replace asap.

Fire Hazzard

High hopes for a well know name but it's pretty much garbage. I unplug it and it run. In fact it's constantly running. Now it doesn't remove humidity and doesn't shut off with full bucket. This unit is a fire Hazzard.

Not a Durable Dehumidifier

This LG UD501KOG5 dehumidifier is 2-3 years old, and it has stopped working. The coil iced up, and the unit leaked all over our carpeting. It’s not very old, and I certainly expected more life out of this higher priced unit. My husband took off the cover and found that it was clean inside. The filter was not clogged. We have no idea why it suddenly decided to die. Can this unit be repaired?

ICE on coils after 2.5 years

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This producted worked well for 2.5 years, but now is building up ice on the coils.

Doesn't work in less than 2 years

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coils freezing over and constantly runs without lowering humidity in less than 2 years. My mother has a dehudifier that is from the 80's or early 90's that still works. Products these days are terrible and LG should be ashamed to put their name on something this expensive that doesn't last 2 years. Use thicker copper and better welds and the coolant won't leak away causing this issue.

Great features !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just purchased this machine a month ago. It is the best dehumidifier I have ever owned . It is quiet , easy to use amd so easy to clean . It is so efficient and works beautifully.

Expensive trash

Didn't last 2 years of use. For that price it should last at least a decade. Runs constantly and only shuts off the 1 hour for "safety standby." Coils are frozen and doesn't get below 55% humidity. I keep the filter and coils clean and leave plenty of space for air flow.

failed in 2 hyhears

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After 2 years use, ice builds up at the coil and doesn't collect any water. Very dissappointed.

Excelente uso para mi ambiente

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sí claro estoy utilizando este producto ya desde dos décadas ! Jamás se descompuso inclusive lo llevé a mi país, y es ahí donde mayor utilidad le doy !💪🏼❤️

Rusting

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Junk, barely lasted 13 months.. rusting like crazy.

Do not buy

Overpriced piece of junk. Barely lasted to 16 months and lg chat is terrible. One would assume being the most expensive units on the market, it would last longer.

Excellent

I have had this purifier running nonstop in my 120 yr old basement for 2 yrs now and it works perfect ! The bucket needs to be emptied once a day in summer months and once a week in winter . It has drastically improved the air quality in my basement and no more moldy smell

Best one yet

I have owned dehumidifiers in the past that never lasted long. The automatic defrost feature I pray will eliminate that problem. The unit is built well, quality everything fits tight. The water storage receptacle is easy once you learn how it fits, not that difficult to figure out. Not loud for a dehumidifier, is keeping my finished basement dry and free of odors. Very happy with purchase hope it lasts many years!

A real workhorse of a dehumidifier

solid machine

Bought a month ago and it seems to be working well. seems well made, so far. Have had several other brands, all looked like clones of each other, all failed in 2 to 3 years, don't know if that's normal or not. This is the third bran I have bought , I hope it lasts longer than the others. Works well easy to use quiet and seems solidly built. Metal construction and triple sealed wires and 1 hour a day auto shut off to help prevent overheating, all good features

Exceptionally well designed

I have one which worked 24/7 for several years flawlessly. As compared with other dehumidifiers, this one is easier to empty and the bucket is much easier to clean when dirty. Of course, the filter is washable..

Dehumidifier--avoid

bought in Summer of 2022; worked Ok; when I went to use it this May 2023, it would freeze up and not collect water. All its tests said it was OK lol I believe its either a design or manufacturing defect. Only 1yr warranty so I was out of luck!

Quality at it's BEST

I have two LG dehumidifiers running every summer, attesting to their consistent performance and durability. Their superior quality and efficiency make them my go-to choice for effectively reducing humidity levels. LG dehumidifiers truly excel in providing a comfortable and controlled indoor environment.
