Short Lifespan
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Runs but no longer removes water after two years, same as the last one. Very typical for a dehumidifier. Got the 4 year protection plan to cut the cost of replacement but still out about $100 with cost of the plan and the increased cost of the same model dehumidifier.

Started fine, quit working after 4 days
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The dehumidifier worked fine the first 2 days, filling the tub every 24 hrs. Day 3, the machine got noisier and the tub took 36 hrs to fill (this may be there's less moisture), day 4 noisier and a clanking sound, tub not a single drop, this continues into day 5, then just stopped working. I lowered the moisture % from 50 to 40, this got it running, when I checked that night it has stopped. I don't know if it stopped after 15 min or 2 hrs. Returned it to Best Buy.

Horrible-returned it!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We’ve had quite a few dehumidifiers now, so we noticed something wasn’t right pretty quickly. After 24 hours this didn’t collect any water. You could also see that someone tried to clean the bucket. Trying to deal with Customer Service was also horrible. We had to wait for our store to open and we returned it.

DEHUMIDIFIER DIDN'T LAST LONG
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.TWO YEARS OLD AND THE UNIT STOPPED WORKING. LOOKS LIKE IT'S JUST MORE COST EFFECTIVE TO BUY A NEW ONE, NOT RECOMMENDING THIS DEHUMIDAFIER. 25 MONTHS AND DONE! I PREVIOUSLY HAD A FRIGIDARE UNIT THAT LASTED LIKE 10 YEARS

Not what I expected and not sure it’s working
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don’t have a lot of experience with dehumidifiers but this one made my room hot which I read that it’s normal for a little warm air to come out when it’s getting rid of humidity but it shouldn’t make your room unbearably hot. And now I don’t think the machine is working. It just reads 35 and stays that way when normally it was constantly running. And no water is in the trap. I wouldn’t even know what to tell the manufacturer. I’m at a loss and already threw away the box.

Works well but noisy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well but rarely shuts off even if I raise humidity setting. It runs a little louder than my other dehumidifier.

BUY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When it was new it worked well. Died after about 1 year, but so did all the other ones I bought, I think they are all garbage (3 other different brands). BUY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY! Best Buys' warranty is a 5 star.

Problem dehumidifier
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The dehumidifiers only last two years. If you’re lucky you need to come up with a different product that last longer even if you buy the extended warranty is still have to bring it back and forth and go through all the problems of getting a new one.

Broke after 2 years
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had this dehumidifier set up in my 1100 square foot basement. Worked great for about a year and a half but then all of the sudden quit working. I could unplug it an led plug it back in and it would run for about 3 minutes then it shuts off and didn’t run again. It does detect that my basement is now at 50+ percent humidity. After reading about the issue on Reddit, it seems like this model is common to break around the 1.5 to 2 year time frame.

Chemical smell
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought 2 and both smelled so bad. A chemical smell, my whole house smelled so bad I had to open windows. I buy dehumidifiers every couple of years and have never had this issue before. They were returned. I don't blame Best Buy by any means, they were great about returning and refunding our money.

Good but not great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good but not great. Did not get all the water out that I needed as fast as other dehumidifiers.

Posted .Hello Gobirdsf - Thanks so much for choosing GE Appliances. To get the most out of the dehumidifier, it is sized for about a 1000 sq ft room and should be placed in the middle, away from any large furniture. It can collect up to 50 pints per day in the right conditions. Stay safe and keep in touch! - John@GEAppliances

Good for reducing ambient moisture.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good for removing moisture from the air, but makes the electric bill go up! Noisy!

Posted .Hi there - thank you for your review! We are happy to hear that you're satisfied with your dehumidifier overall. As far as the energy consumption goes, there is not an energy guide label for this particular appliance. In that sense, we are not able to provide an average energy consumption for this dehumidifier. As for the noise of the dehumidifier, please check out an article on our website titled, "Dehumidifiers Normal Sounds" to see if the information there helps you. All the best, Kelsey@GEA

Didn't Work Long
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quit working one week after warranty expired (1 Year) and was only used during the summer months. Previous GE model worked for 15 years. Going to order same model again and hope for the best.

Another crappy dehumidifier
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would give this a zero if I could. Quit working in 9 months which included winter when it wasn't needed. It does fall under warranty but the warranty requires you to buy a new one and get reimbursed. This seems to be a recurring problem with dehumidifiers. I follow all the instructions on location, air flow, etc. The fan runs but does not dehumidify.

Dehumidifier
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This worked for about 8-9 months and has since stopped working. I read that the lifespan on these was about a year or so and mine didn’t make it that long. Fortunately, I have geek squad and will get another or upgrade.

Posted .Hello there, we're very sorry to hear that your dehumidifier quit working after just 8-9 months. We can imagine your disappointment, so we're pleased to see that you're in contact with Best Buy about a replacement. We're wishing you the best and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. - Guy@GEA

not for big spaces
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Insufficient capacity to reduce humidity for a large basement. Mis-advertised as 50 pint capacity. Under the new standard which was established in 2019, this is only 35 pint capacity, as shown accurately on its box. I replaced it with a 50 pint capacity dehumidifier (old 70 pint under former standard).
