Subject says all... need a dehumidifier, preferably quiet and with low
temp operability. After searching on Amazon, I can't find a single
brand that I feel confident purchasing. Probably the one with the
least negative reviews was Frigidaire and I'll be returning one of
those this afternoon because it doesn't work properly and Frigidaire
apparently doesn't have real customer service personnel, only an
annoying automated answering system.

is there *anything* that doesn't suck? Anything at all? All I see
are comments like "I had this for two weeks and it died" "loud, rattly
POS" "doesn't really have a deice feature, just shuts off until the
ice melts" yadda yadda yadda.

Whirlpool used to (up to 6yrs ago or so) to make an excellent dehumdifier
and Sears brand was made by Whirlpool until about 3 or 4 years ago. I was
working at Sears when they switched to a Chinese made unit instead of the
Whirlpool. Price stayed the same but quality went down the tubes. Not too
many of the Chinese units didn't get returned with a month or so. You might
check to see if Whirlpool still makes their own units stateside...may be
still a good unit.
