Dehumidifier failed for second time. Do not waste your time!
Researched basement dehumidifiers and bought an Alorair Sentinel HD 55. It arrived and was installed. Less than a year later it just freezes up even with a perfectly clean filter, it's not going into defrost cycle. I contacted Alorair via email and they said I'd need to ship it to LA for repair and pay for the shipping myself. What good is a 5-year warranty if I have to pay over $250 for shipping costs? I'm buying a different dehumidifier and hoping for better results. This is a warning, look elsewhere if you don't want to waste $900.
*Follow-up
Alorair came through. They shipped a new dehumidifier as a replacement. It's been installed and working well.
Thank you for helping resolve this issue.

Unit has failed again. Just freezes, does not defrost coils. Has clean filter but continues to freeze and not defrost.
I've give up and will now purchase a different unit.
