Amazon.com Review
Running quietly and efficiently, this fully portable, 20-pint-capacity dehumidifier effectively handles room sizes up to 1300 square feet. The two systems for collecting condensation include either discharging moisture continuously with the water-reservoir bypass system or collecting moisture in the large tank. An audible signal and flashing LED alerts when the tank is full, while automatic overflow protection turns the dehumidifier off until the bucket is emptied. Other features include auto defrost and SmartTouch digital control, humidity display, and electronic sensor, which measures how much humidity is in a room then works just enough to counter it. A pivoting handle and durable castor wheels make this unit easy to store or transport from room to room. Filter Plus, a washable nylon filter plus odor-removing insert is included. The dehumidifier measures approximately 26 by 14 by 16 inches and carries a two-year limited warranty. --Catie Unger

 Not worth the Money June 16, 2008

Had this item for less than a year and it died. Called up the help line. They requested a receipt. We sent the receipt. Three weeks later nothing. Called up again to find out what happened. They were still waiting for the receipt. Sent it again. Three more weeks and still nothing. We had to send the receipt three times before they would honor their warranty. For the bad service and high price I would recommend looking else where. It's also very loud and useless.
 Worked perfectly...for a month at least February 13, 2008

The Bionaire BDQ24-UC dehumidifier unit impressed me for a month - until it stopped working competely. The 30-day period had just expired so it was not possible to return the unit, however on contacting Bionaire directly and explaining the problem, they graciously agreed to send me a replacement unit. Hopefully, the new unit will last longer, but I can certainly vouch for excellent customer support from Bionaire should you encounter problems yourself. I found the unit more effective when set specifically to one of the % range settings - managing to remove several pints of water from the air daily. In the "economy" mode it was less effective - in fact would do very little. I also found it quiet - as advertised - without generating any adverse heat. I cannot compare to other dehumidifiers as this is my first, but provided my replacement unit lasts longer than the first, I would recommend it.
Terrible customer service January 11, 2008

The compressor failed on my unit within the warranty period. After a lengthy frustrating email exchange, Bionaire customer service offered me a replacement and I was pleased that I wasn't required to return the whole machine as I hadn't saved the original carton and transportation would have been expensive. All I had to do was cut off the power cord and mail that in. Sounds good right? Wrong. It took another several email requests to get them to give me the address. I mailed in the cord and again nothing. By the way, they have an automatic email response thanking you for your patience and promising a real response within 24 hours. After several weeks of no response as usual, I got fed up and sent a snail mail letter to the ceo of Jardin, Bionaire's parent. Within a week, the replacement unit was delivered. Since then, I have been deluged with emails from different customer service reps explaining the tardiness of their responses being due to the email traffic that they have to deal with and stating how pleased I should be with the new unit. #1--they don't appear to realize that in winter homes are too dry already and people don't use a dehumidifier to make them drier. And #2--if 24 hours is an unrealistic response time, why promise it?
 Works with quirks (energy hog,but a dust mite killer). September 26, 2007

I thought it was broken when the humidity readout read WAY off on the room humidity,but it seemed to readjust itself after running and having been moved around. However the purported energy saving rating is only valid for lowest setting. Otherwise it's like having a heater going. Otherwise, a good product (with no information at Bionaire website) with a 2 year warranty (limited?). However it probably costs $60. just to ship it. I used AMEX for an extended warranty if it dies at the 2 year mark.I'm on my 20th month with 6 months of use. There's also the updated BDQ25 model that costs more. Did you know that a dehumidifier will kill all the dust mites in your room if you lower the humidity enough.

This product was bought for my family and is sturdy, efficient and easy to use and move. I would purchase another Bionaire product in a heartbeat. Amazon.com had it shipped in a secure and well packaged container which arrived safely and quickly. There are NO complaints with this order and shipping of the item. Thank you for professionalism in this endeavor.
