Corrosion problem:
We ordered one about 2 months ago and another about 1 month ago after the first seemed to be working very well. However, the water in the pan of the first unit started to turn blue a week later. This is getting worse and the efficiency of the unit has dropped. It is collecting very little water now, even in very humid weather.

Soleus dehumidifier:

Product died, poor customer service:

died after 18 months:
worked great till the orfice tube got plugged up or lost freon.
theres no freon filter like your car so..
i called the co and they said sorry no filter in future plans.
its a shame because it works awesome when new. debating on buying a new one every 12-18 months. EDIT - It was low on freon. I fixed it hurray. Repair is not for novices.
