This Dehumidifier, while I didn't purchase it at Amazon, I too feel I have to write a bad review. I was using the continuous drain feature with a hose from the side. When I set it up last week, the Continuous light on the top was illuminated on the top and the dehumidifier seemed to be working fine. When I next checked on it, the full bucket light was illuminated and it hadn't drained through the hose, the bucket was indeed full. GE Customer support was no help. I am returning this after spending many hours trying to get it to drain through the hose.Best Deals for GE ADER30LP White Dehumidifier
Just purchased this unit for our beach condo. It's been a really humid summer and I noticed a moldy odor that was not there previously. I had a rough start looking for dehumidifiers and purchased this one after returning 2 other units both different brands. This first one I bought leaked water from the catch bucket a Haier with 45 pt capacity. But is totally useless if it puts water back into the room/floor. When I returned it, I opened other boxes of the same type and they all have a hole in the catch bucket.....so I decided to try my luck at another store where I got glowing recommendations from the dept mgr to purchase the LG. The LG smelled like burned rubber straight out of the box and the acrid and pungent smell was worse than the moldy smell I was trying to eliminate. If I had read the reviews on the LG on line, I would have never bought it....the burned rubber smell was mentioned more than once so idk if its a manufacturing issue or someone with a house fire returned it....... I bought this GE also without reading reviews and hoped for the best.......I have not had any problems and am really happy with it, the humidity is reduced to the settings we select, the air feels so much better, it turns itself off when it has reached the proper setting and then back on when the humidity increases. I like the 3 speed fan so it can be turned down if we are watching tv since this is in a living/dining room area. None of the issues mentioned in other reviews. This GE has only been plugged in for 2 days but its working great. No problems emptying the bucket no spills as long as you wait a few minutes to empty once the machine alerts you to a full bucket. I don't know if it will stop working in a month or two due to the constant use, but so far it's better than the other 2 that I tried. I could probably use a larger dehumidifier since it is filling up on a daily basis....so I may move this to another area and buy a larger one for the living room area.Honest reviews on GE ADER30LP White Dehumidifier
I purchased this unit a week ago and it seems to be working well. I personally haven't had any issues with it like many of the other posters have. This unit replaced a 50Qt model that came with the house. It was still running but it wasn't pulling water anymore. I tried to find another 50 Qt model but apparently they are shipped where they are most needed which seems to be Colorado and the south east due to hurricane season. Our basement isn't damp but like all closed basements it traps humidity. It worked quick and easy right out of the box. I use a hose to keep mine drained. Not here, but other reviews, people had a hard time getting the hose attached. If you don't take the bucket out I could see how it would be hard, but it's simple and was easier to attach than my old unit where you had to push a plastic tube in just right. One thing, it has to be a narrow hose attachment, It can't be one of the plastic hose attachments with the large grips.In 4 hours it dropped my basement humidity from 65% yo 55% and there is a constant trickle of water down the drain. The 3 fan speeds are nice and it is quieter than my old unit. It doesn't have the annoying dehumidifier sound when the compressor kicks on. It sounds like there is a small utility fan in the room when it's on medium and slightly louder on high. You can always turn it to low or off when you are in the room and high during the night. I have left it on high in another room of our partially finished basement and it doesn't bother me. I can't hear it over my computer honestly. The Display isn't annoyingly bright like so many electronics and it shows the current humidity in the room in 5% increments and you can adjust it to whatever you want. You can also turn it on constantly for 2 to 4 hours or continuous. It has an indicator telling you to clean your filter which I tend to never think about. All in all I'm Happy with it so far.
I can see the issues if you are using a bucket since it doesn't have a good grip until you pull it out enough to reach the handle.
It is a smaller unit than I was looking for so hopefully it is powerful enough to keep the humidity down without burning itself out. I'll post back if anything happens.
