Does it have a humidistat? I see the number 30 on the picture but it is right above the timer. Is that the humidity setting or timer setting?

Yes, it does. It seems accurate since it's usually within a few points with the one on my wall. (I haven't used the timer. I prefer to turn it on and off as needed. The humidity reading is the same display as the timer one.)

It has both. But my humidistat broke. Whytner sent me instructions on the fix but I haven't tried it yet.Additionally I'd like to report it is highly efficient and very quiet. I'd buy it again.

I use three of them in addition to the humidifier that came with my humidor. I try to obtain 70% humidity..... With that being said, I was given a larger humidor recently. The humidifier that came with it plus the three drymistat humidifiers would only raise the humidity to 62%. So, I ordered yesterday this in hopes it will help raise the humidity..... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000PUWHJC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Good luck!

I think it is only on speed. Either humidity control or forced on. You should buy other model if you want two speed.

Mine for some reason is doing the opposite. I have mine all the way up on 7 and with the cold weather here, I'm lucky to get 30% humidity readings upstairs. Any suggestions experts?

It has a setting to program your desired humidity level. Is that what you are asking?

No it does not. Just takes a lot of water. The higher the humidity setting, the more water you use. Works great though. Easy to clean. Use distilled water. Works the best!

It is not a heater @Barry_Bloom it is a dehumidifier, technically it's suppose to dry up humid places. Thus the name "De-humidifier". It can alter the temperature in the humid area due to removal of moisture in the air, but it does not mean it will warm up the air like a heater. All in all, this dehumidifier specifically will not warm up the air. If you are lucky enough maybe the dehumidifier will do the trick and dry up the place it is in; as for me unfortunately this dehumidifier did NOT work well for me. It had very disappointing results.

Turn the knob untill the timer resets for the panel. Then readjust to desired humidity

What the picture shows is what you get. It is a line-voltage (de-)humidistat. The contacts close when the RH goes above the set-point to turn on an exhaust fan or a de-humidifier (or AC unit). The unit has setpoint adjustment from 10-80% RH. It works like a charm. The unit is branded as an Air King product, but I am sure someone like Ranco or Robert Shaw makes it for them. I did not really care, as long as it does its job. It does.

First, I would make sure all the settings are correct. If they are, and if you have humidity, then I would say you got a dud. We're in the northeast, where it's been disgustingly humid for it seems like forever, and ours is working fine. We empty it 3 or 4 times a day and run it on high, usually. If you got a defective unit, I don't know what the return policy is, but would think the company -- or Amazon -- will honor the warranty without any problem.

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.

Doesn't measure room humidity if that's what you mean. There is a dial to set relatively (like a slow to fast dial) how much humidity you want it to put out. The automatic shut-off only kicks in when the water level gets to almost empty.

The humidify auto on/off doesn't work. Might just be my unit. I like the unit because it is quiet and has 2 speeds. It was suppose to be 35% humidity on this unit.

It has 6 fan settings actually. Low med high constant or auto where it'll shut off when it reaches the desired humidity level

The unit works like any on/off thermostat or humidistat. If the unit is set for say 75% humidity and the hysteresis is set at 2 then the unit will run until it it reaches 75 then turn off. The unit will come back on at 73%. (75-2=73). The LS (low set point) and HS (high set point) are only there so that the set number cannot be set outside of that range. The ls and hs have nothing to do with when the unit shuts off (or on). if ls is 50 and hs is 60 then you cannot set a set point below the 50 or above the 60. Hope all that makes sense.

Hi Bob. I bought two fans. This one from Home Depot and another one Air King BFQ 50 CFm from Amazon. Both are running really nice. But they dont have a delay timer or humidity sensor. They both shutdown and turn on by flipping the switch, but to compensate it I bought two Dew Stop, Humidity Sensing Fan Switches Model: FS-100-W2 from home depot. This switch has delay timer for 30 min and humidity sensor. He completely control humid in my both bathrooms. Good thing about those fans they are real quite that my kids can not notice with close door than they are running.

I set mine to 50 to 55. Don't know about the timer persay. All I know is that when it reaches what you set for the humidity then the compressor shuts off and eventually the fan.
