    I purchased this unit when my old humidifier died. This sucker is so loud, when it's on you can hear it from anywhere in the house, and I have a big house. It roars.

    I purchased another (different brand) today for another area of the house. It's a 65 pint unit, better temps than the Whirlpool, and it's so quiet you could sit it next to the TV and it wouldn't bother you. It's like night and day between the two units. I would suggest NOT buying the Whirlpool due to the excessive noise. In fact, anyone who would like to buy my unit should contact me. I've got to get it out of the house. I can't take the noise.

    Like the previous reviewer, I went with Whirlpool because of brand loyalty, not a good decision. This product is unbelievably loud and clunky-sounding(rattle-metal-on-metal). When I open my basement door it sounds like there is a jet aircraft in my basement. The unit does work as advertised, I have no issue with its performance, just can't get past the noise.

    I've read nothing but good reviews about this unit from consumer-type magazines. However, when I read the negative review on this site, I decided to buy the dehumidifier (cheaper!) locally in case I needed to return it. I have had the unit operating in my basement for a week now, and have found the sound volume no louder than my prior dehumidifier (a 13 year old White-Westinghouse). The volume is comparable to a small room air conditioner, and is easily drowned out by my washer or dryer which are also in the basement.

    Admittedly, Whirlpool must have redesigned the unit, because although the model number is the same, the housing looks different than in the photo. This may have reduced the noise.

    Overall, I'm very pleased with it. I'm not giving it 5 stars yet, because I haven't had it long enough to determine its reliability and low-temperature de-icing capability.

    We went with this unit because of the brand name. Big mistake. No sound dampening material is used whatsoever. The metal on metal construction leaves creates one big buzzing rattle box.

    It was so loud it scared my kids. Returned it for a refund. A shameful lack of consideration went into the design - the number of buzzes and rattles was astounding.
