Question: when the unit cycles off, does the fan still run, or is it completely off?
Document: I have a huge dank basement. This machine is working incredibly well, has made it a comfortable place to be. Had dampness seeping up into carpet through concrete floor beneath, now completely dry. I have no where for it to empty into by the hose so I have to empty it every day. The fan does not constantly run as some have mentioned. There was nothing to "setup", just plug it in . It is noisy, but no more than every other dehumidifier I have had.
Owned this dehumidifier for 3 weeks and I am shipping it back for a replacement.Every few days the unit completely shuts down for no apparent reason. The LCD display goes completely blank and all buttons cease to function. The unit can be brought back to life by cycling the AC power plug where it will resume normal function for a day or so before it shuts down again. I setup this unit in the pump mode which cycles the pump about once every minute for a 10 second duration to drain the water.
The 2 speed fan in it's lower setting is quite loud. I understand the need to move air through the coil but it's too loud to have in a room where you are trying to relax, watch TV, or have a quiet conversation.The unit cycles often when it reaches the humidity set point which I have at 55 in the basement. It turns off but comes back on within a few minutes, runs for a few and then shuts off again.
It cycles about every 3 or 4 minutes, runs for about 4 minutes, then shuts off, only to turn back on 3 or 4 minutes later. Since the fan is loud, its really distracting. No way to adjust this setting that I can find.2. The fan is quite loud. Not much you can do about this and every other unit I have owned suffers the same issue. I would guess since that is the basics of a dehumifier.
No settings to fiddle with, it just knows. So nice to not have to empty the bucket.3. The unit is attractive4. The digital readout of temperature and humidity is great to have.5. The controls are easy and intuitive.Con's:1. It cycles way too often. I don't understand why it does not wait until the humidity has increased to a certain level, say 5% above your setting, then run till it is 5% below. That way it cycles less.
It may run a few hours or up a day or two on high speed but the fan will eventually just shut off and the controls will be unresponsive. You have to unplug it and wait and then plug it back in for the unit to run normal again.
The mechanical design is good (save bucket removal), the squirrel cage fan pulls a decent amount of air into the coils. It is noisy compared to others but I can live with that. I run it on low speed. The unit has clean lines, rolls easily and is all plastic so the only rusting one will see is when the metal internals start to oxidize. It has a good water removal options (manual, passive drain, active pump).
(a compressor takes more energy to run than a fan motor). It's certainly quieter than any window unit a/c. The higher fan speed has an added benefit which I'll get to next.Performance wise, it does a great job of keeping my 1500 sq ft basement dry, without heating it up. I run the unit at a humidity setting of 50 and the fan on low. Other units I've had over the years would add 10-15 degrees to the ambient room temp on similar settings.
(3)  THE FANOne reviewer doesn't like that the fan never stops, however another doesn't like that the fan cycles on and off as needed! :) .. so I checked which is the case with the company. It turns out that the AP/BP (The BP is the one with the built-in pump) 70 pint models fans cycle on and off as needed, the other models have a fan that never shuts-off, according to support.
The built-in pump is very helpful. I don't have to empty the bucket. It pump out the water automatically. Although I set it to fan speed fan, it is still very loud. But everything works fine.
Answer: It must turn off, because when I checked it recently, I thought it wasn't running because I didn't hear anything. It had simply reached the proper humidity level.
