A:AnswerYes it displays the current humidity level. I have mine set to 45% and it runs continuously until that level is reached. I have noticed that with this one the fan will still run for some time after the compressor kicks off once it gets there. My old one didn't do that. Everything stopped then kicked back on when it was needed. This one, the fan seldom shuts down once the desired humidity level is reached. It's the only con on this model I have cuz otherwise it's great!!!
A:AnswerGood question. We have only lost power once in 12 years or so , so I wouldn’t have an answer but you could just pull your plug for a couple of hours and plug it back in and see what it does ... good luck
A:AnswerHi REZA - Thanks for considering GE! Assuming an eight foot ceiling, a 50 pint is a reasonable size for a 1000 sq. ft. room (Note: If your ceiling is 10' add 25% to the room square footage). Take a look at the following link- DEHUMIDIFIER - SIZING: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=34664 - If you have any additional questions, do not hesitate to ask, we are happy to help at GEAppliances.com!
A:AnswerThe lowest number you can pick on the machine is 35 but when I choose the "nonstop" option, meaning when I want the machine to run nonstop, not until it reaches the number I pick on the machine, the humidity level seems to drop beyond 35 and go as low as 24%, at least according to the hydrometer that I have. Keep in mind that my goal humidity level is between 10-25% as I'm using the machine for a rescued animal whose natural habitat is a desert with 10-25% humidity level.
A:AnswerHey there,
Thanks so much for taking the time to reach out. We're happy to answer your question! According to our sizing guide, a 70-pint model can work for a room up to 1400 sq. ft. while a 50-pint model can only go up to 1000. So as long as the room is no more than 1000 sq. ft. then a 50-pint model will work just fine. We hope this helps. Mike@GEA
A:AnswerInstructions are on page 7 of the appliance booklet.
To remove: remove the bucket. Grasp the filter edge and pull it straight down and out.
To clean: clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse and let the filter dry before replacing it.
A:AnswerHi - Thank you for your interest in a new GE dehumidifier. This model uses 520 watts and 7.2 amps at standard conditions. These are the only power consumption figures we have available. We hope this helps. Vikki@GEA
A:AnswerGE's answer used the wrong units. Per the Energy Star website, it should read "1.8 L/kWh" (Liters per kilowatt-hr). So higher numbers mean the unit is more energy-efficient.
A:AnswerI doubt it. Teflon only bad when heated. This machine does not get that hot. Watch out for waterproof spray for your shoes. That may have 1,1,1 trichlorethane in it. Not for birds.
