Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Works great but...

maloneranger60 6/8/2022

Overall, we are very happy with the performance of the dehumidifier. Works quietly and efficiently. Just be aware that the water bucket is on the small side so it fills up quickly. Not a big deal and the appliance is well worth the price but you will have to empty it often.

Pulls surprisingly large amount of water out

BBWB 5/15/2022

Not too loud and in short order pulls a large amount of water from the air, even at lower humidity. Also has a self regulating feature so you can ensure it doesn't get too dry or wet.

Pearloftheorientseas 4/19/2022

It did the work!. We have a dry basement & wanted to use LVP down on the concrete. It couldn't be down bc the humidity gauge was over 12. After 4 days, the LVP (luxury vinyl planks) were installed.

Runs normally for an hour, then shuts off-no water

TeddyKo 3/8/2022

My ADEL30LWQ1 runs for about an hour, then shuts completely off on its own. When I check the water collection tank, it is completely dry. Also, the hose outlet that the water comes from is completely dry. During the hour that the unit is running, I can hear the compressor turn on periodically. This happens in NS mode also.

fighting a constant rattle and no operation

Adam112 2/22/2022

this unit started off great. I purchased it in 8/2020 and no issues whatsoever. have the hose hooked up so outside of cleaning the filter, it's maintenance free. The machine started to make a continuous rattling noise over the last six months. I cleaned the filter, tightened any loose screws, re balanced it and the noise went away. Now, it's coming back almost daily. When I remove the water tank and re-insert it, the noise goes away. Then it comes back in about a day. Mind you, while it's rattling, no water is coming out of the hose so the unit is inoperable. This unit isn't even two years yet and GE only offers a one year warranty which looks to be behind industry standards. I really have no other options but to buy a new unit. The next one won't be GE. Highly disappointed and I'll be giving my recommendation to friends and family when the need arises.

Tjroadman 11/28/2021

Well, it seems to pull a lot of water out of the 34 ft 5th wheel trailer. Before I sneezed coughed and sniffeled. Now I don't and the air is easy to breath and I feel much better. The unit is a little noisy but it's totally worth it to have fresh air that doesn't smell musty any longer.

Better than Expected

1Smurf1 11/2/2021

Unit performed much better than I expected, as far as removing moisture in our master bedroom. It was almost a 30% reduction in the relative humidity of the room in leass than 2 hours. RH at unit start was 70%RH, after about 2 hours it was 53%RH. The unit performed at a much higher level than I expected or could imagine

I really like it for inside my house

honestcher 10/14/2021

I needed a smaller sized dehumidifier for inside my house, as I have an allergy to mold spores and by running this unit it helps keep the air dry. I get a lot of moisture from my basement as I own an older home. It's been great, and runs dependably. It's really been a lifesaver, as it has made my summer and fall a lot more balanced healthwise.

Mold developed, can't use

Antihumidity 10/4/2021

Worked well, but a little over a year into use, mold developed, unlike other dehumidifiers we use (we empty all each day). We can no longer use this product due to the smell it puts into the air (presumably spores).

Worth every penny

Mkearney 7/20/2021

This thing is the little dehumidifier that could. We bought it for the garage because in the summer we essentially use it as a living space. It has made the space so much more comfortable and stopped that thin layer of rust that tends to show up on the less frequently used tools. This summer has lead to me needing to empty it regularly but it is quite, cheap to run and so productive! Cannot recommend enough.
