Haier CJ70E 70-Pint Dehumidifier

Haier CJ70E 70-Pint Dehumidifier

This large Haier dehumidifier is designed to remove moisture from spaces as large as 3200 feet, but can be used in more modest situations as well. While the Haier CJ70E 70-Pint Dehumidifier is ROHS compliant, it has received somewhat poor reviews from customers; this should be taken into consideration by anyone looking to purchase one.

Appearance and Design

A simple, functional white casing with a large face vent and easy-to-access electronic controls make the Haier CJ70E 70-Pint Dehumidifier easy to incorporate into most homes. It is not a small unit; measuring approximately 19 x 30 x 21 and weighing in at 50 lb, this model would be quite difficult to move were it not for the rolling caster wheels installed beneath. A front-loading collection tray makes it easy to empty the dehumidifier when sufficient water has accumulated.

Functionality and Use

A drainage hose hookup option makes it possible to install the Haier CJ70E 70-Pint Dehumidifier permanently in a basement or other frequently humid space. Because the CJ70E is such a large model, it may be possible to install the machine as a permanent dehumidifier for a whole house in moderately humid locations. It’s important to keep in mind that 70 pints is the maximum amount that can be removed from the atmosphere in a 24 hour period under ideal conditions; in many cases the actual output may be somewhat less.

Model Limitations

The Haier CJ70E 70-Pint Dehumidifier is best suited to large, humid environments requiring a great deal of water removal. 70 pints is a bit more than most homes require in terms of moisture removal, and it is important to make sure that a relative humidity of 35 – 50% is maintained. A low-temperature setting does ensure that the refrigeration coil will not ice over, which makes this a good model for colder climates. While this model tends to be less expensive than others in its category, starting from around $160, it appears to have a relatively short lifespan.

Customer Service and Warranty

A 1-year limited warranty on parts and labor means that the Haier CJ70E 70-Pint Dehumidifier is a moderately risk-free purchase, but buyers have reported negatively on the customer service offered by Haier. It’s important to keep in mind that most dehumidifiers have a relatively short lifespan; even the best products will wear out eventually and require repair or replacement. The CJ70E is not the most reliable model available, but is quite reasonably priced for a large dehumidifier, so buyers may have to consider all sides of the situation before making a purchase.

What Do Owners Say?

Unfortunately the majority of customer reviews regarding the Haier CJ70E 70-Pint Dehumidifier are quite negative. It’s possible that these buyers were not aware of the delicate nature of dehumidifiers when they made their purchase, or that this particular model has a tendency to malfunction more frequently than other dehumidifiers. In any case, those who have the opportunity to test out this Haier model before purchase would be well advised to take advantage of the opportunity.

A well-priced but inconsistently rated large dehumidifier, this product should be fully researched and possibly tested before purchase to ensure full satisfaction!
