I thought dehumidifiers were inherently designed *not* to ice up!
Otherwise, you'd be just as well off w/ a window A/C brought inside the
room!
Which I've tried, but guess what, it iced up in the cooler weather!

I will strongly recommend that you start with the use you need it for.
Basement or other locations that may be cool need a model designed for
those locations. Many people (including myself before I found out) assume
that a dehumidifier will work in any normal location like a basement which
is of course a very common place for them. The problem is they will ice
up. There are some models designed for those locations, if you have such
a location be sure to buy one designed for it.

I need to purchase a new dehumidifier.
My old Sears one (at least 18 years old) just died.
I was going to buy a new Sears model, but the reviews (including user
reviews on the Sears website) are very bad. Whirlpools were not too
much better.
Soleus CFM-40 looks to have good reviews (as per epinions.com), can
anyone verify? One con, the fan runs continuously.
I'm not finding many good reviews (for any brand).
Consumer Reports has not tested dehumidifiers for several years.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks
