Since 2003, our last 3 Whirlpool Dehumidifiers have each lasted less than 2 years -- the sealed freon system ultimately leaks resulting in frost-up of the unit thus requiring replacement.  Whirpool did honor their 5 yr warranty and replaced the first 2 units -- on the 3rd, they refunded our money and said they were no longer in the Dehumidifier business.  Warranty claims take time and thus we had no use of the dehumidifiers for months.

Overall we like Whirlpool as a company -- but recommend caution in purchasing any of their remaining old stock dehumidifiers.
