Does this model currently have a recall for a fire hazard? Thanks.

Sounds like you are continuing to DEHUMIDIFY with your Frigidaire unit. It is a fabulous machine, and does my entire 1,500 sq. ft. basement with no problems. Hopefully this will continue.

The information I have now is that this unit, which I LOVE, is NOT INVOLVED in the recall. I got this information from the internet, so go to Yahoo and enter "Frigidaire dehumidifier recall" and click on the posting from abcnews.go.com regarding the recall. The Frigidaire models covered by the recall, according to this information, were manufactured by Gree Electric Appliances between 1/07 and 9/08. So I am still using my unit. You can also call the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772 if you wish. But that hotline is probably really hot with inquiries, so that may take some time.

I am not aware of the unit being on recall list. I have two units and they work fine.

Mine started a fire in itself. Dangerous. I would not suggest getting this one

Yeah, there is a warranty, but I got a notice that this one and lots of others were being recalled--something about a fire hazzard. Maybe it's resolved, but I'd call to find out before buying any dehumidifier. I'll be doingthe same thing because we need one in our basement.

Yes, but they have not been put to extensive use to date. We have never had a fire hazard.

On the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission website, the only Vornado product that has recently been recalled is model VH110. This is model AVH2 and there's no current recall on it.http://www.cpsc.gov/en/Recalls/2014/Vornado-Air-Recalls-Electric-Space-Heaters/

Ditto last answer. Not under recall, a replacement for a quieter unit I was more pleased with. Does the job though.

I was not aware of a recall. My initial tank developed a crack after 4-5 years. I purchased this direct repacement as well as the installation wrench. It was an easy install (30 minutes) and has been working fine.

Has a 6 year warranty, tip it up side down 2x/year, see local fire station if charge is low. I would recommend getting yourself a new one after warranty is up. There are ones w/10 and 12 yr warranties, not this model.

No - but these models have been recalled by the manufacturer - not sure I recall what the defect was, but they are in the process of replacing these with a fixed version

The manufacture date is 9-11-2010. I am not sure if it is the model that has been recalled.

If the product poses no fire risk (per the manufacturer) then what are we to make of SuzEQ's 3/12/11 post, "However, the first one lasted about a week before overheating and catching on fire. The second one only lasted a few days before doing the same." Clearly, her experience and the manufacturer's assurances are diametrically opposed. Anyone aware of any Consumer Reports or other consumer-based agency's studies of this product? I would feel much more confident about using Feliway if there were reassurances from an independent, objective third party...

yes...I verified before ordering and after receiving, it is a post-recall issue.

I don't know if it was in recall...but I had to return one of the two I bought. Did not work from day one. The other has been running about a month without issues.

There has been a model since the sentria 2 it came out in October. And there would only be a warranty if it was bought in an in home demonstration which would be the lifetime rebuild the three year in home service and I believe there is also a fire protection warranty with some distributors as well but ONLY if bought in a in home demonstration from an authorized salesman.

This is the response from the serial # search on Dysons recall website.Your heater isn't affected by this recall.Don't worry - your heater is a new model that isn't affected.

Not sure. My unit and many others caught fire. Just look at the customer picks on the product page to see what can happen.
