| I bought this to put it in my basement. My basement is extremely humid, due to the fact that; A) it's a basement, and B)I live on the East Coast. This is also where my home theater is, and there's nothing worse than watching a movie and sweating like a dog. I put this unit down there and it helps the situation greatly. It is so comfortable. My wife and I love this product, and couldn't go another summer without it. |
| Great dehumidifier and can not live without |

| Recently we bought this DeLonghi DE500P with pump system. We left in our over 2000 sf basement. In the first 5 hours of operation, it pumped out about 3/4 gallon of water (I used 1 Gal milk container to collect water for my measurement). We got a very humid weather down here in southeast. Then, I left it on for overnight, it collected over 1 gal of water. It also has 4 wheels to make movement really easy. The best thing is that this dehumidifier can drain upwards. I attached the 16 feet long tube (or the drainage hoses, it comes with two sizes: 16 feet and 3 feet long) to the unit and drained the water to my kitchen sink. I now can not live without this great dehumidifier. If you have a home theater or you work at your basement, this is the humidifier you must have. Look no futher.
I did not understand why some people wrote a review that they only got few cups of water or they have hard time to attach the drainage hoses. Make sure follow the operational instruction with care. Though, it makes some noise and it can not auto-restart (I think it might be doing so for the safety reason). But for the great benefit it provided, I think I can live with. |
| Good dehumidifier with pump |

| Works well, has helped measurably in our basement and the pump to take the water out works very well. |
| Energy efficient, pump, and high capacity container |

| Reviewer: Mark Twain, West Coast |
| I've owned this product for 3 years now, and it has served us well. Purchased it to help remedy a wet, old stone basement in a 80 year old house. The pump is the best feature as it eliminates the need for me to empty the bucket every few days. This unit is also Energy Star so you can count on saving money compared to similar non-certified dehumidifiers. |
| Great but a little loud |

| We have two of these units in our basement. They have worked well at maintaining an acceptable humidity level but with the pump action engaged they are audible upstairs in the family room. It is a low drone but perhaps in future models it could be eliminated. |
| So far so good....... |

| Reviewer: Bargamon, Carolinas |
| Bought it at cosco with no research as it was $200. I was looking and realized with the capcity and feature list it was a good deal from a respectable brand.
Out of the box it works just fine. Had a "Plastic" smell for the first two days but it has gone away. I am suprised at how much water it can pull out when I have to empty the bucket. THe pump feature does nto reset when the power goes off so. Its a great feature. I have two large rooms in my basement so the old one is now in the "celler" portion". That one is old and was given to me so I have not much basis of comparison. Is the unit of quality? The same unit at one price vs. another might alter ones view. As would performance. At $200 its a great value as long as it works. Thin plastics are common these days and perhaps more expensive units are built better. These things are small refrigeraters and we all know its recommended when you move a refrigerater it can harm its longevity. I think moving this thing often would not be good for it. Mine is working but only had it a month. I have it set for 60% and mid level for the fan. It reduces the noise. Its quieter than the old one so I guess its an improvement. Energy wise its tough for me to tell. It works, the room feels dryer, not making any rattles, got a great price, and as long as I can get a few years out of it IM happy. At $200 I'll gamble on this unit. At $350 I would get one at sears locally and maybe extend the warranty. |
| A better experience than others |
| Review Date: July 6, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Robert Stoll, Chicago, IL USA |
| I have to admit I'm surprised by the reviews on here. I've owned three of these units for the last year and a half and have experienced minimum problems. Like most others, the main attraction for me was the automatic pump, which negates the need to keep dumping the water bucket every so often.
Of the three units I've owned I've only had one major issue crop up, which is that the unit sometimes does not pump water when I've selected that option. It will simply deposit the water in the tank but I don't check these every day so when it had this issue it would stop dehumidifying when the tank was full. A minor convenience, and I can "fix" the problem by unplugging it and restarting it. Overall, I've been quite pleased by this unit. Obviously this is quite contrary to other reviews so pay close attention to those as well. |
| Quieter and smaller than the Maytag, but lacks auto restart |
| Review Date: June 30, 2005 |
| Reviewer: RicR2, McLean, VA USA |
| I have two basement rooms. In one is one of my several Maytag (M7DH65B2A) 65-Pint Dehumidifiers that I've owned for about a year, and in the other is the DeLonghi (DE500P with Pump). The original plan was to use the DeLonghi's pump, but then I discovered that I have a floor drain. Both the Maytag and the Delonghi empty into floor drains.
The DeLonghi (D) is quieter and smaller than the Maytag (M), yet costs nearly $100 more (as I write this). The D's 16-foot tube according to the User's Manual is supposed to attach easily, yet I never was able to attach it, and ended up using the second drain tube provided which does attach reasonably easily. The M has auto restart after power outages; the D does not; until I got the D, I didn't realize how many power outages there were. Thus, if quiet operation and size is a priority, go with the DeLonghi. If price and auto restart are priorities, go with the Maytag. D = DeLonghi DE500P 50-Pint Dehumidifier with Pump M = Maytag M7DH65B2A 65 Pint Dehumidifier |
| Great while the pump lasted |
| Review Date: December 3, 2009 |
| Reviewer: S. Rees, |
| I bought a unit from Costco less than a year ago. It's worked pretty well, fills the bucket a lot. However, I prefer to use the pump. The pump died a couple months ago. I'll be returning it to Costco asap.
I really don't recommend this dehumidifier based on DeLonghi's customer service and the record of these devices, shown in the reviews. |
| Pulls water out of the air, but pump stopped working |
| Review Date: July 29, 2009 |
| Reviewer: DDinNTK, Natick, MA United States |
| The reason I bought this dehumidifier is because of the pump. Everything worked great for 15 months, but then the pump stopped working. After discussing the issue with the support center, I was told the nearest service center is 90 miles away. I would have to ship it and pay for the repair if I want it fixed. That would be more than just buying a new one. They need to get more Service centers to support their product. It pulls water from the air, but now I have to empty the bucket 3 times a day! |
| nice feature set, but a few problems |
| Review Date: July 17, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Brian Santell, harrisburg, pa |
| I have had this unit for 2 days now. The two problems I have are 1) unbearable rattle - which I fixed by stuffing a small piece of cardboard between the filter and side panel, and 2) the current humidity level is not accurate. If I just plug the unit in, but not turn it on, the current humidity level that is displayed is accurate. But once I turn it on, the current humidity level that it displays goes down to about 30% lower than the actual relative humidity. This means that to keep my room at 55% I need to set the unit to 35% (which is the lowest it goes). I bought this because of the electronic controls, but if they are inaccurate, I might as well return it for a cheaper, non-electric model. |
| Avoid Delonghi Dehumidifier |
| Review Date: August 25, 2008 |
| Reviewer: fandangled, NY |
| I've owned this product for about 2 years. It has stopped working. The pump stopped working after about 6 months. It rattled a few weeks after purchase. It did a great job dehumidifying our basement for as long as it lasted. I wouldn't recommend. |
| Plastic odor |
| Review Date: August 17, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Richard N. Ferrante, |
| I was looking forward to getting our DeLonghi dehumidifyer. Good price. Pretty quick delivery and then I opened it and the oder of the plastic was so strong we couldn't keep it.
My wife got an immediate headache and I couldn't take it either. We couldn't even if we put it downstairs in the basement. We had to send it back at our expense, even though we consider it defective. We went out and bought something else that works fine. |
| Read careful all reviews |
| Review Date: August 24, 2005 |
| Reviewer: Jeff J. Hielsberg, Atlanta, GA |
| I fell in love with the feature list and the pump feature no one else offers. Out of the box it looks great however that's where the story ends. After running for 36 hours in a humid room of 70% humidity it pulled out only 2 cups of water. The 2 cups of water never made it to the pump since it leaked out of the dehumidifier from some strange covered in plastic place.
Be very careful Delonghi does not pack this unit for shipping. It's in a tight cardboard box without any additional protection. I don't know what they were thinking since the unit is shipped many hundreds of miles. I returned this unit and picked up a LG unit. The LG quality and packaging is significantly better and we are now pulling four gallons of water out of the air quite a difference from the Delonghi's two cups! |
| Don't buy this dehumidifier |
| Review Date: August 31, 2006 |
| Reviewer: Mark Shufro, CT |
| My pump stopped working after 11 months. Fortunately, the unit was still under warranty. I had to ship the unit (at my expense) to their service center. The service center took 5 weeks to make the repair. Two months later, after the warranty had expired, my unit stopped working. I called Delonghi and they told me that one of the unit's sensors was shot. They would not sell me one and told me that the only thing I could do was get the unit back to their service center. The fact that I had had two problems within 14 months didn't seem to upset them at all. Delonghi was unhelpful, did not stand behind its product and does not deserve your business. Besides, clearly there are quality issues with the DE500P. |
| Junk, don't buy it! |

| Reviewer: P. Bader, Nazareth, PA United States |
| Worked beautifully for about 6 months, then drain pump went out, 2 weeks later the whole unit got really noisy and stopped working. Called Delongi, they were not helpful at all, told me I had to ship the unit to Ohio and gave me a phone number where no one would answer or return my call..

| Stops working just after warrenty |
| Review Date: August 25, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Taloncard, NY |
| Same story as others. 13 months after buying this unit the pump stopped working. With such a small Water tank it has to be emptied multiple times a day. I actually replaced a fully functional unit with this just for the pump. Good think I kept the old unit as this one is now useless. |
| I own it, you shouldn't |
| Review Date: December 10, 2007 |
| Reviewer: S. Scott, |
| I purchased this product as a spare. I left it in my garage in the box and when I needed it because my other unit failed, it had been a few weeks over a year since its purchase. I plugged it in and the fan worked the display functioned, everything appeared fine. The unit never produced an ounce of water. I called the warranty people at the company, and they were unresponsive and curt. Said if I mailed the unit at my expense 800 miles to some service center that they might cover the parts depending on which parts had failed. Do youself a favor and look at another brand of dehumidifier. |
| Stay away from this humidifier |
| Review Date: July 14, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Michael Hemy, |
| I have to ask myself why did I even go through the trouble of replacing this unit twice...
This dehumidifier is built with very poor quality. Less than a month into operation they start rattling. Even if I can ignore the noise, I can't ignore that this unit's pump just broke 3 times. Once the pump stops working, this unit is useless as it has a very small water container. Do yourself a favor and get something that works. |
| Defectice product.Buyers beware. |
| Review Date: September 1, 2006 |
| Reviewer: R. Chaubey, NJ USA |
| Took the unit out of the box.Set it up as described in guide.Great soft touch controls,3 fan speeds,excellent humistat.
Great unit, EXCEPT IT DOES NOT WORK because cooling coils never got cold.It does not need a pump or a bucket since it did not collect a single drop of moisture.Very very expensive and useless fan.Especially if you add the cost of shipping it back. Useless thing weighs 75+ pounds.Customer service is of no help. |
