We bought three dehumidifiers last week at Home Depot (two for us, we have a large below-grade basement) and one for FIL. One of them was very noisy, so much so that we could clearly hear it upstairs, but it did work fine. On the other two the main noise was from the fan. Took the noisy one back and exchanged it with no quibble from Home Depot. We were in & out in perhaps ten minutes.

 Our Home Depot will close this weekend. We were one of the ones they choose to close. I will really miss it. It is the only store of that kind in this area. We have one other smaller store that really is more for professional builders. If you need wood or paint, they have it. I loved HOme Depot. Lots of choices for home, garden, appliances. Sad to see it close and then another huge building sitting empty. We had good service there, nice people. Now 80 will be out of work. Babs

Ouch, that is a bummer about the store closing. At least there are still a few stores that don't haggle you with all sorts of limits on even the simplest of returns and such. Kudos to Home Depot. We generally have pretty good luck at Lowes (I change my mind alot on purchases, especially if I can find a better deal elsewhere).

 I would love to have a Lowes near us.  We shopped there in NC. Babs
