The first one we got worked great for the first 24hrs and though it was still removing moisture, it was not keeping humidity down and removing it fast enough. It pretty much stopped performing. The humidity actually went back up to past what it was before we got the dehumidifier. So we sent it back and got a replacement. As soon as the new one arrived, it has been doing its thing. Works amazing, is consistent, we can almost time it to beep to be emptied when full. It keeps the humidity exactly where it needs to be in here and we can all breathe so much better. Truly remarkable considering you don't give much thought to how the moisture in the air affects breathing, allergies, and your air conditioning unit and how it even runs consistently. For the money, this unit works efficiently. We are very happy with it and would definitely buy again. Thank you GE!
