I love this unit, but all the machines made from Jan 2005 - Aug 2013 have been recalled last week (Sept 9, 2013).

Thanks for the info. I also like the unit. I've never seen smoke or even smelled anything close to burning. However, I don't leave my on 24/7...... only a couple of hours at a time, once or twice a day. I checked mine on their website and it is not affected by the recall.

The same thing happened to me, and I called the manufacturer. I got zero response, so I hope you have better luck. I had only had the machine a few months when it gave up.

I know that the unit has been discontinued as of when I odered mine. I ended up buying a different unit.

Don't know about recalls but this is the worst dehumidifier I ever purchased. Didn't last me 4 months. I want the word out. This company has poor warranty (30days) and customer service is horrible.

I too bought mine in April 2013 and it was manufactured in March 2013. I don't know what the expiration date is.

I cannot answer to that question. I bought this item last year (2013) and has been fantastic for my son and his wife. They traveled to Europe last December and they were up and down many cities with an excellent result. Probably, if this item was recalled in 2010, this must be a new version.

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

Hi, thanks for submitting your question. After a bit of research, I'm unable to find any information to support that this model has been recalled. When a product shows as "Currently Unavailable", it usually means that we are out of stock and have no information when or if we will receive more stock of the item. I hope this helps!

You are very welcome. it is a great unit and I wish I could find a new one at the same price (or even close to) from a few years ago.

I purchased this computer in April of 2012. Therefore, these "old-version" units are probably of late 2011 or early 2012 manufacture.

I just got the same ERR.. message last night. Mine had a manufactured date of 8/9/04 so it was probably a couple months old when I started using it. Almost exactly a 7 year life....amazing!

I bought it new in the summer of 2013. I don't know exactly when it was built but it was the latest of this model they had.

I got mine for Christmas in 2012, so I have been using it for almost a year. I use it pretty regularlly, about once a week overall, more in he colder months and less in summer. It has performed beautifully throughout. The only replacement issue I had was one of my own making. I removed the top and carelessly placed it over a still hot surface, which melted the pressure valve. I ordered a new one and its been fine ever since. I am not aware of any recalls.

I had to send mine back after it was out of warranty. For $60 they refurbished it and sent it back. I too loved it while it worked, but it lasted less than a year after the refurb. I decided it wasn't worth sending back again and got a cheaper one at costco. It's really a shame these things aren't built better. It's like buying ready made garbage - and not even recyclable!

It is now manufactured after what the recall was for. The problem was fixed. The one I purchased over 6 months ago was not involved in the recall either.

Thanks for your help! I've been reading some message boards, and it looks like that even though I didn't buy it until Sept, the item was manufactured in Aug 2006, so it's past it's warranty, and there's nothing I can do. =(

I replaced it over a year ago & don't remember. We were very disappointed with the machine & had to return it to customerservice 3 time because it didn't work properly & they had to keep replacing parts.
