Kenmore 54701 Dehumidifier Review Summary

Kenmore 54701 Dehumidifier is "the buy of the year!" If reviewers have one thing to say about this dehumidifier, it's that it's "worthy every penny." They're also calling it reliable, saying in five years, they haven't experienced any problems. Reviewers that have breathing problems such as asthma put the Kenmore 54701 in the room to take out what they don't need in the air. Other reviewers feel this Kenmore dehumidifier "saved my wet basement" after a particularly heavy rainstorm. They report that by keeping the moisture out of the air, it even makes the areas where it's used smell better. Reviewers are willing to put down more money for a brand they can trust, and for that, that's Kenmore. Check out other Kenmore products as well.

The Kenmore Dehumidifier is worth every penny. It is the most reliable one on the market. We have had ours for over 5 years and never had a problem with it . We also bought another one with a warranty and after 2 years it was not working up to par so we brought in to have it checked out. The guy at the service department said they could not fix it but we were entitled to a new one which we went to pick up that day . It has not given us a bit of trouble. I would recommend this product to anyone that needs a dehumidifier. It works and further more it quieter then all the rest and believe me that...

After a particularly heavy rainstorm the day of my son's birthday party, our basement had seepage because the water had nowhere to go, except in everyone's basements. We had not needed a dehumidifier before this because our finished basement has always been dry. I bought this dehumidifier and it has helped keep the basement dried out. It even smells better! You can actually feel the difference in the air when you walk down there. I highly recommend this product!

Helps you breath better at night.  People with breathing problems such as asthma it helps you sleep better at night.  I am a person with asthma and there are plenty of nights that its hard for me to breath but with a dehumidifer its puts air into the room and takes oiut what should not be there They are nice for kids because they can't burn themselves or anythign like that.  The more expensive they are the better they probably work Depending on your room size you may need a bigger one also which would be more expensive then a smaller one

We bought the Kenmore 50 pint dehumidifier after our

basement flooded. It was a bit more pricey compared to

other brands, but totally worth it. The machine is very

powerful, but is very quiet. Its amazing how much water

this machine can suck in from the air! It is very easy to use

also.

My dehumidifier does not work. I'm frustrated because it seems like I just bought it.  Now I have to go out and buy a new one.  These products should last longer.

The Kenmore Dehumidifier I bought was a lifesaver.  When I could not get a restoration company to come in and dry my basement from a disaster of 4 inches of water, this dehumidifier did the trick.  Once the water was pumped out with my sump pump, this little marvel did the rest.  All I had to do was plug it in.  It cannot overflow with an automatic shutoff.  The bucket is easy to empty with its own carrying handle.  I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

After four years, the dehumidifier is making  horrible noises and no longer works.  I'll write more after I get an estimate on the repair.

I have seen the dehumidifiers at other stores that may be a little cheaper but smaller, and it doesn't even have a recommended name brand standing behind it. I would pay a little more for a brand that I trust than a little less for a brand I don't know anything about. This Kenmore Dehumidifier has really been a name that I can trust and recommend.

The Kenmore Dehumidifier is a little high, but when you have a need for it you really should look at the Kenmore brand name. The company has been around for awhile so you know someone is trusting there product and so should you. When you have moister in the air it will ruin wood all through your home. Do you have a lot of people in your home that take really hot showers and steam up the walls. After awhile your paint and wood will take in all that moister and you will wish you took the money and the time to invest in a dehumidifier. Now when you do be sure to check out Kenmore.

     I live in a home that is very tight.  It holds moisture during th winter and summer. I bought the Kenmore Dehumidifier 54701 three years ago.  It removes moisture and warms the room. It makes a little noise, but it sure is worth it.  There is one thing that my wife does not like about it.  It takes the moisture from her house plants and she has to water them more often.  I think that it was a good buy and I would recommed it to anyone.

I bought my Kenmore 54701 new from Sears in June, 2005.  Since then I have had four problems.  In 2006, 2008 and 2009 a new evaporator was in stalled.  A month after the last repair it doesn't run at all.  I'll contact Sears - I think it is a lemon, but if there is no satisfaction, I'll be looking for a new brand.

I hve had  a similar experience with the Kenmore 54701 dehumidifier after about 3 years of use (only use in the summer). It got very loud and is no longer working at all. For an expensive dehumidifier it is very diappointing,. I would not recommend Kenmore dehumidifiers to anyone after this experience.
