--Haier DE65EK-L Named “Best Buy” by a Leading Consumer Magazine--

New York, NY, Mar. 27, 2012 – Adding a Haier dehumidifier to a living environment can lessen excess moisture in the air that takes away from home comfort and can damage everything from electronics to books and clothing. The freestanding units reduce moisture in the air, which helps in preventing the build-up of mold and mildew.

“Haier dehumidifiers are energy efficient and offer features like Smart Dry and a Bucket Full Alarm to simplify the consumer experience,” said Tom Kelly, vp of the air conditioning group, Haier America. “For basements or laundry rooms, a dehumidifier can alleviate issues caused by excess moisture.”

All Haier dehumidifiers are ENERGY STAR® qualified. According to the U.S Department of Energy, the average ENERGY STAR qualified units have more efficient refrigeration coils, compressors, and fans than conventional models and use less energy to remove moisture. An ENERGY STAR qualified model removes the same amount of moisture as a similarly-sized standard unit, but uses 15% less energy. The average ENERGY STAR qualified dehumidifier can save consumers about $20 per year. Over the life of the unit, that's more than $220 in savings.*
