“How long are these humidifiers supposed to last? We've had 2 of this 50 pint Energy Star dehumidifier and they only last about 2 years. We have a hose to a floor drain so we don't have to empty a bucket.”

Absolutely criminal. I'm on my 3rd one of these, only one has lasted more than a year (18 months). Current one I purchased in August, ran for barely two months, then maybe ran it for a month the next summer. 3 months of usage in not a very humid location. GE doesn't "replace" the dehumidifier, there is one person with an answering machine that now will maybe give you call back for a rebate that's less than the replacement cost of a new unit. So I'm basically renting this machine for $50/year from GE. In addition to hours spent purchasing a new unit and dealing with the warranty. I'll do the warranty dance one more year, then spend a few more hundred on Abt for what I hope would be a better item.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You got lucky. My previous one lasted about 6 months. There should be federal legislation on these. They all end up in a landfill way too quickly.
