As described. Easy to set up. Exceptionally quiet. Seems to work less hard/often than the one it replaced.

I never knew I had this much moisture in my home. I have to empty it at least 3 to 4 times a day.

Stopped working after 18 months
Fan runs but not the compressor. No water being removed with hose attached or just bucket. Tried all the trouble-shooting suggestions. We've had a Home unit running perfectly for 6 years. Waste of $275. Home Depot should stop selling these units.

Hi there - thanks for sharing your feedback. Our apologies that your unit stopped working after such a short time - that is certainly not the ownership experience we strive for. We ask that you please reach out to us via private message so that we may learn more about your situation. Kind regards. Lauren@GEA GE_Appliances

    Hose connection is very fussy - leaks and causes the bucket to fill and overflow. Prefer external connection that is available on other brands.

    Hello- We are happy to help! We recommend checking the garden hose where it attaches to the unit. A loose or bad connection will cause leaking into the bucket and through the hose at the same time. If water is not draining through the hose, please check the following:

    Make sure you have a good connection where the garden hose attaches and that there is a rubber washer properly installed in the end of the garden hose. If the connection is loose, gently tighten the connection with pliers.

    If the hose is pushed into a drain (like a standpipe), make sure it is not pushed in too far. If the hose is touching water, it will not drain. Pull out the hose until the hose outlet is above the water line.

    Cut off any excess hose so that it is moving in a straight line to the drain.

    Avoid using an old or damaged garden hose.

    Clean the dehumidifier drain and hose:

    If there is water in the bucket, empty the bucket.

    Unplug the unit.

    Clean the dehumidifier drain with a baby bottle brush or pipe cleaner (like used for kids crafts).

    Clean the drain hose with the same.

    Make sure the drain hose is routed downward. If the drain line is mounted at a steep angle downward less material will accumulate in the hose and drain. If you have any questions, please let us know. We are here to help! Joyce@GEA GE_Appliances

    Works great. Wish it were quieter but gets the job done. Was delivered with no damage. All of them in the store on the shelf were damaged. And buying on line was more money. That’s ridiculous!

    Took it out of the box, read the directions, it was up and running in 30 minutes with no issues... Simple, efficient, done!

    Died after 3 yrs
    Had this for about three years then it died. Only used it half of the year. For this price you're paying ~$100/yr.

      This thing is a BEAST! 2 years strong like a champ
      We bought this back in 2021 in WA during a mega heat wave. We got a LOT of humidity in the area and this thing filled up within 4-5 hours. Since then we’ve ran it almost daily for 2 years and it’s been great! We’re now in San Diego with abnormally high humidity and its still going strong. Without it on we notice a ton of condensation and feel the difference. Makes the central air a lot more efficient. If you’re in a small space it can slightly heat the room.

        do not recommend
        We have this dehumidifier just over 1 year. As soon as we hit 1 year and 2 weeks, it stopped working. Of course there is a 1 year warranty on it.

        We hate to hear that your unit stopped working. To troubleshoot, we recommend making sure that it is plugged completely into the outlet. If problems persist, we recommend checking the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replacing the fuse or resetting the breaker. We hope this helps, and should you have any additional questions, please reach out to us.- Kianna@GEA GE_Appliances

          We'll see if this dehumidifier lasts longer than a year.

          The dehumidifier is doing an excellent job keeping the humidity down in a very humid basement. The basement is 1394 square feet, and since buying this, the humidity has gone from 85% down to 50%.

          Working great, empty it twice a day. No issues.

          Too early to tell whether this dehumidifier will last. Previous one from HD did not make it a full two years. What we like so far about this unit is the ability to attach a regular garden hose. No more empty the bucket multiple times a day!
