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

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

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.

Broan QTR080 Ultra Silent Bath Fan, 1.0-Sones 80 CFM Review

Broan QTR080 Ultra Silent Bath Fan, 1.0-Sones 80 CFM

We installed this fan in our upstairs bathroom. We tested it when we first got it fixed to the ceiling joists and wired. It was very quiet. So nice. But then we attached the vent pipe and piped it out the side of the house. It is only a six foot run, one 45 degree turn and one 90. Suddenly the fan rattled and groaned as if it were 30 years old. We ended up taking out the internal flap and are trusting the wimpy little external vent flaps to stop back drafts in the winter. That helped the noise. But it is still disappointingly fragile sounding with some rattles and speed variations. Two stars.

ThermaFlo 1500W htr w/ Heat Sweep Review

I love my Thermoflo Smart Heat Heater. Once it has gotten the room to a comfortable temperature it is very quiet. Even when it is just starting to heat up a cold room it is quieter than most other heaters with a fan. I live in a one bedroom apt. and when it is really cold I just point it more in the direction of the room that I am in at the time. It was only designed to do one room but I did just fine with one heater and 2+ rooms all winter. And yes it is nice even warmth, no cold spots.
I also like that it is small and lightweight enough to take with me wherever I go.

Jarden Consumer-Heater/Hum Wp Radiator Heater Wrc2605-U Heater Electric Convection Review

This is a good radiator. Don't expect too much though. The one I got had a thermostat that worked half of the time. So, I ended up using it at full blast and often having to wake up in the middle of the night to stop it. I guess for the amount of money I paid it wasn't too bad. Probably it's better to pay a bit more and buy one from a store though.
