DeLonghi DE400P 40-Pint Dehumidifier with Pump

Lasted one year. Just threw it away in the dumpster. Pump frequently did not work and I constantly emptied by hand. Huge wast of money. Don't purchase.

I have had the dehumidifier for one month now and it has worked as advertised, no problems.

We purchased this unit about 3 months ago from Costco, to replace our Friedrich unit that we had for 18 years that had a fan failure. Since it's almost impossible to get parts for Freidrich dehumidifiers now, we opted to purchase a new unit.

The Delonghi unit has very attractive features, especially the built-in pump so that emptying would never be necessary. Other nice features are the digital display, ability to set desire %humidity in 5% increments, the washable air filter, side intake and exhaust vents and the easy roll casters.

However...the pump failed after just three months of use in our basement, and resulted in a minor flood - twice. We returned it to Costco, and as they no longer have the model in stock have not yet purchased a replacement.

As long as the unit is working, it's great. However, for the pump to fail after three months and soak our flooring is unacceptable. I would not recommend purchasing this item. Instead, consider the Whirlpool or Soleus units instead.

i put it in my very large and wet basement, and it pumps lots of water daily into the floor drain. glad i got it.

I wish I could give this machine 0 stars. Pump failed after 3 months of use. Delonghi wanted me to drive 60 miles to get it repaired under warrenty. Will never buy a DeLonghi product ever again.
