Haier 45 Pint (HD456E) Dehumidifier Review

Haier 45 Pint DehumidifierI wish I had read all the negative reviews this company gets before wasting my money and time. The first unit worked for about 5 months, then it simply stopped gathering water. The unit looked like it was working, so I did not notice the problem right away, until I checked the the bucket which was dry as a bone. Tried all kinds of things to no avail. Contacted customer service to get a replacement, and the guy on the phone did not even let me finish describing the problem... He already knew the unit was broken and proceeded to give me instructions for getting a replacement. He totally sounded like he had given the same instructions hundreds of times. I was blown away when he told me they did not want me to send the defective unit back. All I needed to do was to cut off about 8" from the power cord and mail it, along with my receipt and a check for $14 to cover the shipping of a refurbished replacement unit. They consider the units basically disposable and not worth shipping back.

The replacement unit arrived about a month later and it worked fine... for about two months. Then it did the same exact thing as the previous one, and a few days later the fan started making a loud noise. Now I'm out of warranty and have two huge paper weights waiting to be taken to the dump. But I have learned one thing... Never again buy a Haier product!

Sharp SPC830A Quartz Backlight Analog Alarm Clock (Black/White) Review

Sharp SPC830A Quartz Backlight Analog Alarm ClockI bought this clock because my wife commandeered my other back-lit sharp alarm clock, and this was the closest I could come to replacing it. This one is a little noisy, especially when right by your head on a night stand. But not that bad. It arrived in unopened packaging but was broken. It took me all of two minutes to pop off the back, re-align the light bar/snooze bar, and get it working. The benefits of this clock are that it is large enough to easily operate the controls. The back light is really a side light at the 4 o'clock position, but it is adequate for double checking the alarm setting and seeing what time it is. From a sound sleep, you can either hit the snooze bar or disable the alarm without fumbling. It is keeping accurate time. Overall, it is a good value.
