OK...

does anyone make a decent dehumidifier anymore?  I bought two LG's last 
year, one for the basement and one for the garage, the one in the garage 
is already dead.  Only other brand that I saw on the shelf was 
Frigidaire and I actually returned one of those because it ran constantly.

...is there anything out there, or am I stuck with replacing one a year?

I think all the freon leaked out.  It sounds loud, runs all the time, 
and no water is collecting in the bucket.

well, I kind of expected shit, but I was buying in sort of a hurry to 
keep the car from mildewing and the tools from rusting.  I wouldn't mind 
paying a little more to get a quality product, if I knew what to buy and 
where to buy it.

It's an LG, if what I read online is any indication (trying to do 
pre-purchase research on a fridge) it's easier just to write it off.

I have a pair of Whirlpool dehumidifiers in my basement, somewhere around 
eight or nine years old, and still going strong. No complaints.

Perhaps you should give the manufacturer a chance to make good on the
warranty before you bash them. I've had no issues getting acceptable
warranty repairs on most every but my Chevy truck, and in that case
their warranty fraud just cost them a $50k+ sale.

One year I bought a sears, its was fine. Next year I got another sears
but it was completly different and obviously made by a different co,
it failed in 1 month and Sears gave me a new unit. I think they are
all of unknown quality now made by someone somewhere. Take what you
have back for repair and consider a longer extra warranty next time.
If its within maybe 6 months Sears will just give you a new one. I
just looked at Consumer Reports and no reliability rating is given, Id
say shop name brand and extra warranty-replacement policy. Its obvious
they sell junk and know it, if you see the exact same model sold now,
well you know what you can do with that defective one.
