- Final Update
Unit is dead as of 6/5/24
UPDATE
After 3 months of use, this thing has been flawless. First two weeks, on medium fan speed, this unit extracted upwards of 10 gallons out of the basement. After extracting the initial 10 gallons, I have since set the fan speed to low, and now it quietly maintains a consistent 35% Humidity Level.

Quick Update, Over a year in and this machine still works perfectly. No regrets, no issues
thanks for the review and update. hear a few people had issues with these
How often did you run it and how much did your bill go up?
@@taylorcampbell985 I leave the unit set at 60-65% humidity. Its alway powered on, but it doesn't run in the winter because the humidity is low. It does run about 70% of the time in the summer time. A rough guess, maybe added 15-20 bucks a month to the electric bill. Its a lot cheaper then mold remediation.
I have a garden hose attached to the hose drain and that leads to my sump pit. If you don't attach a drain hose, the unit will not run until you empty the bucket. Prior to the drain hose, I would empty the bucket twice a day. The unit works like a champ!
it won't last 2 years... i guarantee it... i have one... and i was very liberal on the run time... i've seen so many bad reviews... wish i would done more research... but you would think GE would put out a good product... but it's garbage... mark my words...
@@OldSoulMillennialwhat can one use to pump water into nearby sink for continuous draining.
*We liked it **Fastly.Cool** so much in the basement, we bought a second one for the main level. The amount of moisture it pulls out of the air is astonishing.*
Thanks so much for your great explanation. Other channels did not explain how to get the pump to work, which was nothing more than just a waste of time. Much appreciated.
I was going to buy this and was looking for a real review. Thanks, I'm getting it.
thanks! just bought one earlier today and your review helped me understand more about the unit. The Non-stop (NS) feature is great. Glad you pointed it out! It does look good for a dehumidifier. Hope to get many years of usage from it. Be well, David
Glad the video helped David. Mine is still going strong after making this video. It does get annoying having to empty out the tank. I think I will have to engineer a solution
I agree with you, I have one since 2019, nice
Good option for an external pump is a central AC condensate pump.
Just ordered the APEW50LZ. 50 pint. 🤞it works well. Anything would be an improvement from the old 1995 magic chef 😆
6:11 awww🥰 you got feelings for it?
I reviewed the smaller one. Kind of wish I got this one. Love the ADEL20LY still though
Just bought one today. I lowered my basement and complete gut. We are almost done but I’m getting mold at bottoms of some of the walls. Hope this helps.
Ty
Thank you. Very helpful 😊
One question…Does it turn off automatically when the selected humidity level is reached, then go back on when the humidity level goes up?
Correct. The unit will automatically shut off once the humidity level is at or below the set point.
@@OldSoulMillennial
Thank you
I'd love an update on this
If you have an old house or basement, or no vapor barrier under you concrete slab subfloor or moisture barrier on the outside of your house that's underground, good luck getting under 50% but 50 or even 55 is alot better than 65 or 70rh
Just curious, when was yours manufactured? (says on the back) I bought mine today and it was made in May 2019. Reason I ask is that I'm concerned this is the old model shoved in the new box claiming that it could pull 70 pints under the old standards.
Just ordered mines
mine has been working flawlessly since day one. You won't be disappointed
I have on for a month and bucket still empty,and is brand new what I do wrong,help please
Adrián MN mine broke but they warrantied it. It comes on for a couple seconds then does nothing. Doesn’t say to check the water level or any simple sensors like that.
The hose option, how does that work. I have the same one. There is a hose connection, and I’ve connected a hose only to have the bucket still fill up?
I have not installed the hose in mine. There is No pump in this unit. So the hose just allows water to flow from the unit to what ever you route the hose to (must be lower then the unit). A floor drain, or a sump pump pit may be suitable options.
Mine died after 2 years of use. It runs, just no longer pulls humidity out of the air.
Knock on wood, mine still runs like a top.
The refrigerant leaked out of the system🤗
I have a carpeted room in my basement that was flooded 3 days ago,should I set my dehumidifier on the non-stop option..I also haven’t had any drainage..please help!!!!
Yes! Keep that dehumidifier on high, non stop! Throw out anything that got wet that will not dry. Carpet really needs to come out.
@@OldSoulMillennial GOT IT!! THank you 🙏🏾
So do you just empty the bucket reservoir when it shuts down? My Grand-daughter just moved in to a basement apartment with this model number in there but there was a number 1 at the end of the model number; manufactured in May, 2019. She asked me why it says empty when dehumidifiers collect water/the moisture. I guess I’m going to try & download an owners manuel as we’ve not had experience as we never bought a dehumidifier before. Surprised this is over $300.00 in price. That’s very steep!
Never mind with an answer although nobody yet answered. It’s just a simple matter of emptying it when the unit reads “empty”. We’ve never owned a dehumidifier so we had no idea how it worked.
How do you clean the filter
A simple rinse in the sink
Do we have to put water in this
Is your dehumidifier running? Mine failed in 2 1/2 year. I am going for honeywell
Mine is still going strong. Basement flooded and had 6" of water. After pumping out the water, this dehumidifier fired right up.
China am I right😄
mine was just under 1 year old and conked out.
Same one I have?
Mine too
Does this shoot cold air
No, it is not an air conditioner. This is a dehumidifier. It removes moisture out of the air
It actually shoots out slightly warm air since all the energy used in the condenser ends up as heat and has nowhere else to exhaust.
No dehumidifier shoots cold air. It warms it to dry the moisture
Connecticut what part
Yea what part? Norwich here
@@jasonpavlak2055 east Hartford here
6:18 that’s how I feel about my women
Good one😆
Why not just use your AC? you get the same results
Its uncommon to have an ac unit in the basement. Basements are notorious for holding moisture.
But an A/C would shoot cold air & why would you want that in the Winter-thought dehumidifiers are designed to remove excess moisture.
@@revrotunda3206 plus they eat up electricity
@@creature8428
No doubt A/C’s draw more energy than a humidifier or a dehumidifier. But the goal is to get moisture out of a basement or put moisture back in your house, so an A/C is just not designed for those purposes.
It is scary.
It's scary how God damn cheap it was built in China😱
Does your turn off automatically when desired humidity is reached?
