I have had this particular unit since this summer. It has been consistent and reliable in keeping a constant humidity. However, periodically the "dirty filter" light will come on, so I will then clean it. I am not sure if the filter is not cleaned for an extended time, if it will shut=off?

Just as long as you have a way for it to continually drain somewhere it can definitely handle that order. I've been using mine actually for about 8 months without any issues. We live in New England in an old house with a stone foundation and it does a good job.

You can set your desired humidity level and it will shut off when it reaches the set %. It'll kick back on when the humidity level drops below your set % again.

According to the Troubleshooting section of the instruction manual, the unit will not operate satisfactorily if the temperature is below 41 F. I would imagine that all higher temps are okay unless the unit overheats in extreme temperatures, but that was not mentioned. I hope this helps. Rx

I have no idea, read the contract I guess. we dismantle ours each fall & put it in the garage (after cleaning & drying it). Don't leave it out during winter to get trashed by leaves, branches, bird feces, sun & freezing. Just put it away until Mother's day & set it up after cleaning it carefully. It should last a long time then.It's all about effort.

once a year......at the end of the season you are using it to put humidity into the air. What I do is after winter is over, clean the unit real well and then install a new filter. Next time I use it......it's ready to go ~~

If it is a window unit and you can easily get to the outside of it securely tape it to the area where the air blows out for a month. Have it set for 10 second interval recordings. Remove it and see the actual times and length of times the temperature rises.

No. The sensor will always run if it senses motion regardless if humidity levels are detected . We've had to move the sensor to prevent it from false detection.

It appears to only to function when the heat is running. The unit has a mechanical by pass valvue (you have to close for the cooling season), but to be sure you can call them direct to check it out. Logically though, the Air conditioner wants to lower the humidity not raise it.

I would advise against it. The whole unit should be protected from exposure to water, snow...precipitation in general. Your best bet would be a "doghouse" type enclosure or lean-to that would allow it to breathe and vent exhaust, and keep it dry. There are several folks that have done this with other types of generators that they want to use in snowstorms, etc., without destroying the unit or subjecting the residence to carbon monoxide or fire danger. Google or youtube search "generator enclosure".

I've had mine running now for over 6 months , never had to reset it or anything , very reliable so I would say commercial use would actually be even better for setting up a scheduled heat and ac unit. I would say yes.

Be sure to perform a test run of at least 2 - 3 days to verify the temperature selection dial is accurate; mine was within about 1 - 2 degrees. I'd recommend having at least one remote reading thermometer inside the box, so you can monitor temperature without opening the door. Something like a freezer alarm works well, or a battery powered outdoor thermometer that radios back to an indoor display unit. Also if humidity is an aging criterion, play around with various sizes of pans of water in there.

We are snowbirds and spend the summers up North. I have the timer set for twice a day to turn on a dehumidifier. We have used it for two years and not a minutes trouble. I definitely would recommend it.l

Just reports humidity. My humidity sensor is so-so and doesn't work after an extended period of time (24hrs). So basically I leave it off

No. I wouldn't think but I keep mine in 40 degree temp in winter months. You should be able to down load owners manual to be for sure.

Sorry I'm late on the response! You can set the humidity level right on top of the unit.. I leave mine at 45% because I have a damp basement that stays very cool but humid if I didn't answer the question you were asking please let me know thanks for asking my opinion Pete

It really depends on the average level of humidity in the space you are operating the dehumidifier and what level of dehumidification that you set on the unit. For example, we have our unit in our basement. We have selected the desired humidity level to be at 45%. We live in Iowa and in the summer it runs 24/7 (we have a shower in the basement that gets used daily as well). In the winter it does not.

Yes ,Once the dirsired hummidity is reach the unit will turn off and will run again when the humidity rises...I love this unit......Also you can set the timer to run for 1,2,3 hours and more....and then the unit will shut completely off...
