Does this have an "energy save" mode or similar that shuts off the fan when the compressor turns off? (Most window units have this.)

its called economy. The fan runs slower but I don't recall if the unit actually turns off when the compressor stops.

Sorry to say the fan stays on unit you turn it off. I also was unaware of this till I got it home.

I wish I could help, but I've yet to open the box. That said, my experience with all dehumidifiers is that they do have an automatic shut-off ability.

Not sure about the energy saver mode shut down, but the unit as a whole is wonderful and has lowered my electricity bill for air conditioning dramatically.

When the compressor stops, the whole unit stops. I would prefer the fan to keep running because it appears that a volume of dehumidified air stays in the vicinity of the sensor making it appear that the room humidity is lower than it actually is. When everything stops, moist air moves in from the surrounding area and causes the dehumidifier restart within a few minutes. I placed a small fan near mine to prevent the accumulation of dry air. That seems to work by causing the dehumidifier to run until most of the air in room has been treated. I shouldn't have to do that, but the dehumidifier is better than any other I have tried.Ken When the compressor stops, the whole unit stops.

No to both questions. It will stop blowing ac air but it stays on unless you put it to sleep

No, but it does draw a lot upon starting the compressor. I could see where poorly thought out outlet usage could cause a breaker to shut off.

It does not have an automatic cut off when the desired setting is reached. It is stated in the product instructions that the fan runs continuously. It is a very effective energy star rated unit and the fan is quiet.

The product manual addresses this question. the fan runs, but not the compressor. Not a feature I like, and i probably wouldn't have gotten the unit if i'd know this.

This unit has low, medium, high setting for the fan speed. On the low setting this unit is pretty quiet. I would say it is quiet enough to be used while sleeping. The sound from a window AC comes from two sources: the compressor, and the fan. I observed that the compressor is also very quiet. My application was in a small home office and had the unit mounted "casement" style, not in a window. How this helps.

The unit is whisper quiet. If you put it on auto fan, you hardly know the unit is on. The compressor does kick in, but it doesn't blast in and is actually no louder than a window unit.

I don't have my setup to empty into a drain but the unit I have does shut off completely when the desired humidity level is reached. I have been unhappy about this since the unit is not supposed to shut off completely (unless the water tank is full). I returned one unit after confirming with the manufacturer that indeed the fan should continue running even when the compressor stops (once humidity level is reached). The second unit they sent me is doing the same thing as the first - shutting off and then clicking back on....which wakes me up at night.

I just received mine June 1, 2015. The fan does shut off, but only for about 30 seconds when the compressor is not running. I would rather it ran all the time as it is hard on the fan to start and stop. It could cause premature fan failure. Unit does a great job. I had 79% humidity and down to 51% in one day in a new basement.

Does it just stop completely or go into a cooler hibernation mode ? Once my unit hits the room temp that it is set on, it seems to shut off. But it actually goes to a cooler temp and a low fan speed. I first thought it shut off but it just adjusts to the room temp being met. If you turn the thermostat up, it goes back into high heat or low heat, what ever you had the temp set on.

No, the fan stays on. In heat mode it turns off. This works the same way identically as on my Friedrich unit with simular specs (but this one is more powerful)

If the room humidity reaches the setting humidity, the compressor will turn off right away but the fan will run for extra 2-3 mins and then shuts off. The suggested room size is 350 sq. ct. It may not be able to handle 800 sq ft room. It comes with one year warranty for labor and part from the purchase date. If any question, please contact us at 1-800-330-0388.

Hi. I don't think so. But then again I always turn it off by habit as soon as I am done, I unplug it. But if you check the description of the product it should tell you if it has that feature. In any case, it was a great price and a great buy for me, I am still using it and loving it. :)
