    It only lasted 11 months and is broken already. I expected more than that from GE products. My last one lasted over 20 years.

    This works great in my basement and has made a huge improvement in the first few days of use. The pump and hose feature is what sold me on this particular model

    Poor Quality

    Unit stopped working properly after approximately 2 months with E6 error code. Intermittent function. Recommend purchasing Best Buy insurance if you are considering. Disappointed with GE for poor quality machine and Best Buy for not standing behind their product (2 week return policy).

    Ran for less than 2 days and quit. Very cheaply made bucket. You have to hold it all together to dump water.

    A rattle-trap and cheaply slapped together. Not built to last! Don't know what brand to recommend! Had a frigidaire same design that did same thing and didn't even last a year! When condenser runs rattles and vibrates. Thinking all these brands may be built at same place!

      We are sorry for the issues you are having. The EB code indicates a refrigerant leakage has been detected. The compressor is turned to off immediately and the fan continues running for 3 minutes after it turns to off. This is a Return to Vendor warranty.
