LG LHD659EBL 65-Pint Dehumidifier

The LG LHD659EBL 65-Pint Dehumidifier appears to be solid model with relatively few design flaws. Those looking for a dehumidifier large enough to dry out a large basement or small house might wish to consider purchasing this unit, as it is priced very reasonably for such a high-capacity model.

Appearance and Design

A sleek black, functional square exterior and frontally situated vents lend an air of sophistication to the LG LHD659EBL 65-Pint Dehumidifier, which would be equally at home in a kitchen, living area, or basement. The water collection tank holds up to 21 pints, and must be emptied at least twice a day under optimal conditions; an auto shutoff feature will kick in when the tank is full in order to avoid leaks, so the machine will not run if the tank is not frequently emptied. Rolling caster wheels make it easy to transport the unit from room to room, but be sure the weight of the machine does not cause them to leave tracks in wood floors.

Functionality and Use

The LG LHD659EBL 65-Pint Dehumidifier is capable of pulling up to 65 pints of moisture from the air per day under optimal conditions. This is quite a bit of water so make sure that you really require such high capacity performance before purchasing the unit. Excessively dry air can be as detrimental as humidity (albeit in different ways). For those unable to empty the water tank on a regular basis, a convenient semi-permanent hose hookup makes it possible to set up a continuous drainage system instead.

Model Limitations

In some cases, unfortunately, customers found that the LG LHD659EBL 65-Pint Dehumidifier was excessively loud, and unsuitable for a bedroom in any household containing light sleepers. A few buyers also received models that were defective right out of the box, and had to be sent straight back to the manufacturer. Additionally, keep in mind that this model will not perform at top capacity in cool environments. Although it can operate down to 41 degrees Fahrenheit, all dehumidifiers must defrost more frequently in cold weather to avoid permanent damage.

Customer Service and Warranty

The LG LHD659EBL 65-Pint Dehumidifier, like most models, is sold with a 1-year limited manufacturer’s warranty on parts and services. Unfortunately, LG is not known for excellent customer service, and many customers reported struggles surrounding attempts to take advantage of this warranty. Buyers concerned about the longevity of the model or looking to avoid this kind of frustration may want to consider purchasing an additional retailer guarantee in order to ensure long-lasting coverage.

What Do Owners Say?

Most owners have been very satisfied with the LG LHD659EBL 65-Pint Dehumidifier. While a few felt it was overly noisy, most thought that this was a decent trade in exchange for solid performance and reliable longevity. Others found the parts to be a bit flimsy, and commented that owners should be careful while moving the unit given its substantial weight. Overall, most customers agreed that they would purchase this model again if given the opportunity.

A solid large unit with a reasonable price, the LG LHD659EBL 65-Pint Dehumidifier should be easily equipped to serve the needs of most households.
