Does this unit shut off automatically after the desired humidity level is reached?

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.

It shuts off when it need emptying, however I don't know if it shuts off when reaching the desired humidity level. Ours is in the basement and under house and has never reached that point.

No. the unit's motor continues to run but the humidifier itself shuts down as long as the humidity is at the desired level. Then it will kick back on fully when the humidity rises about the desired settings There is a timer that can be set for 2 or 4 hours. Then the unit will shut totally off but will not come back on until it is turned on manually.

Ours runs for a period of time you set, but not on an auto humidity setting basis. When it turns off from the timer, you have to turn it on again. It is not like an alarm clock where it resets for the next day.

Yes, the Auto Shut off safety feature will stop the misting once the water level is low.

No it doesn't have an auto shut off, it flashes red when it is low. As for the color I believe the instructions tell you how to do so, but I gave up, since mine liked to flash only one color red. By the way it is just a mini humidifier, that requires constant water because the container is quite small and requires to be filled every 8 hours.

Yes the machine will automatically shut off, then start again when needed. Set the desired humidity level, fan speed, etc. and forget it... Well make sure the drain hose is attached and to a continuous drain otherwise you'll have to empty the bucket provided.

Yes it is designed to work that way, when the compressor shuts off it go's to defrost mode, which kicks the fan on high. When defrost is complete it will go back to low and turn back on the compressor. It will do this unless the humidity level is below the set point of the machine in which case it will shut off.

To be fair I haven't paid much attention to it, but yes as I recall the unit continues to run even after the humidity setting is reached.

It turns off automatically after a few minutes, but it doesn't lock the temperature reading after it levels out, so it might work for what you're trying to do.

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.

There is not a specific humidity level the unit is set to. It runs continuously to remove any moisture within the designated area.

On my unit the fan will only turn off if the unit shuts down due to a full bucket. Otherwise the compressor cycles on and off depending on what you have the humidity control set at, but the fan runs all the time. Like the service rep told you, the unit won't know what the room humidity is if the fan isn't moving the room's air through the unit.

When the unit cycles off, the fan does not run. However it has a very annoying design fault. Say you set the RH (relative humidity) at 50%. Once the dehumidifier reaches it, it will then turn off, but it is usually for less than a minute, since it doesn't take long for the humidity to climb back up. It doesn't sound like a big deal, until you realize how loud the machine is and how distracting it is when it is going on and off every 3 minutes. But if you leave in a very humid place (I live in Miami, FL) it is always running until the bucket fills up.... so no annoying on/off for me. When the unit cycles off, the fan does not run.

I too experienced the same thing with this Humidistat, it would switch open (off) when the humidity would fall below the set point and would switch closed (on) when the humidity went above the set point. I found this opposite on how I was expecting the device to function. Has anyone else experienced this?

No, however it will auto shut off when the unit overheats from not being in the upright position. If the unit is face or back down, it will overheat causing the unit to auto shut off.

It does not have an automatic shut off. The fan will continue to run even when dry.

It depends on the humidity setting. Ours stops when the desired humidity level is reached or when the tank is full.

Mine does not have auto shutoff and so keep running when dry. Doesn't seem to be problematic though. Love this little beauty!
