Whirlpool AD50USS 50 Pint Per Day Ultra Low Temp Basement Dehumidifier with Electronic Controls Review

I purchased at Lowes two Whirlpool AD50USS dehumidifiers for my basement. One of the units functioned well out of the box and was reasonably quiet, especially considering that it is a dehumidifier. It is certainly quieter than previous models I have owned. The other unit was another story. It was quite noisy, with lots of vibrations in the plastic cabinet, and there was something wrong with the fan. It would operate only at low speed. I checked both units and discovered that the quieter unit had the model number AD50USS2 and came with a manual printed in 12/06. The noisy malfunctioning unit had a model number AD50USS1 and came with a manual printed in 3/06. I exchanged the malfunctioning unit and made sure that I got a model AD50USS2. The new unit functions just as well as my other "quieter" unit. My guess is that the AD50USS2 is a later model that has had the Noise Bugs ironed out. By the way, here's a tip. If you really want to get these units about as quiet as they can be, keep the styrofoam shipping pad that is at the bottom of the unit and sit the dehumidifier in it rather than letting it rest on the wheels.

I have never seen such a dumb electronic device for regulation of air.
I still don't understand how this thing can decide to not trigger the air con while it is needed. Then suddently it may decide to do it... and depending on how you turned it on/off, its behaviour will change.
Just to say that the computer regulator for heater/air con is just not working decently !
A big mistake to have acquired this Soleus device.
(even 1 star is too much)

For exceptional versatility and comfort throughout the year, this four-in-one portable appliance functions as an air conditioner, heater, fan, and dehumidifier. Use it as a 1350-watt air conditioner with 12,000 BTUs of cooling power for staying comfortable in the summer, then in the winter switch over to its 1160-watt heater mode, which uses Heat Pump technology to deliver 12,000 BTUs of heating power. The user-friendly electronic control panel makes it easy to select the mode of operation, the ideal room temperature from 61 to 88 degrees F, and the fan speed--low, medium, or high. A handy remote control comes included, which allows for changing the settings from across the room. The unit can also function as an evaporative dehumidifier, removing up to 60 pints of moisture from the air a day to help maintain ideal comfort levels. Its Auto mode provides added convenience where the unit operates as a heater when the room temperature falls below 68 degrees F, as a dehumidifier when the room temperature sits between 68 and 80 degrees F, and as an air conditioner when the room temperature reaches above 80 degrees F. Other highlights include Sleep mode, a 24-hour automatic on/off programmable timer, optional oscillation, and an easy-access permanent air filter. Best of all, its portable design means there's no need for permanent installation. Simply connect the exhaust hoses to an open window using the included window-exhaust kit. The unit's efficient self-evaporating technology means there's no need to continually drain the unit. In extremely humid conditions, however, condensation may collect in the built-in tank if it can't evaporate fast enough. The compressor will automatically shut-off if the tank reaches capacity, and a "full" indicator will alert users to the need for emptying the tank. Accessories include two exhaust hoses, two hose adapters, two window-kit adapters, a window kit with four sliding panels, two air intake and outlet covers, and an owner's manual. Ideal for the home or office as an air conditioner, heater, fan, and dehumidifier, the appliance measures 18-1/2 by 19 by 32-1/4 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

I have tried 5 different units over 8 yeasrs (two being this one). Only one worked 1/2 way decent, and it still has problems.
This one is the most powerful 110volt portable unit there is.
In general, they all end up leaking water all over the place. None of them seem to be able to evaporate the water as fast they are supposed to. By winter, I can expect the units to leak water everywhere, and the water light never comes on.
All 5 brands are cheaply made and by the same factory even though they are from different manufacturers.
If you are looking for portable AC. Better to skip it as you'll be lucky if you find a unit that satifies your needs. IF you are insistant, go with a better built unit. Google around for a unit built in the US, most likely it will be designed for server room cooling. Most likely that will run $1000-$3000.
I am on my 5th unit and wish we had just spent the money up front instead of having to replace the unit every year as we are doing now.
These units are generally cheap and you get what you pay for. I would rate this higher if not for the water issue (I just cleared an 1/8 inch of standing water out of a 12 x 12 room).
