GE ADER40LN Dehumidifier

GE ADER40LN Dehumidifier

A reliable and energy-efficient model produced by General Electric, the GE ADER40LN Dehumidifier has received very positive reviews from most customers. Priced from approximately $155, this model is capable of removing about 40 pints of water in a 24-hour period, making it a mid-capacity dehumidifier.

Appearance and Design

Rolling casters and a solid, comfortable design make this dehumidifier seem at home in most households; it can be easily moved from room to room, and features an easy to access control panel on the top of the machine. The casing is durable and easy to clean, making its clean white appearance easy to maintain over time. The GE ADER40LN Dehumidifier features low temperature operation, which reduces the possibility of the electric coil within the machine freezing or icing over at temperatures of less than 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

Functionality and Use

A garden hose hookup option makes it possible to install the GE ADER40LN Dehumidifier as a permanent structure in a basement or other space requiring constant dehumidification. Automatic humidity sensors will alert the machine and cause it to turn itself off when an optimal relative humidity has been reached, reducing the possibility of overly dry air or respiratory and skin discomfort for members of your household. If a more flexible option is desired, simply roll the machine from room to room and use the removable water collection tray to store resultant condensed liquid.

Model Limitations

Ironically, one of the most frequent customer complaints about the GE ADER40LN Dehumidifier is that it is just too efficient! The water collection tray designed for the model in question is far too small to actually hold the 40 pints of water that the machine is capable of removing each day. Consequently, the tray must be emptied several times a day in order to ensure that the dehumidifier doesn’t shut itself off automatically. Although this can be irritating, the hose hookup option provides a convenient alternative for those who simply aren’t home often enough to empty the collection tray.

Customer Service and Warranty

The GE ADER40LN Dehumidifier comes with a 1-year limited warranty, but in most cases customers found that the model worked perfectly until long after the first year was over. This machine meets Energy Star qualification standards for the time during which it was produced, but is no longer being currently manufactured by the company. Buyers may wish to visit the ENERGY STAR website at energystar.gov to find out whether the ADER40LN meets current ENERGY STAR standards.

What Do Owners Say?

This machine was a hit with both first time buyers and experienced dehumidifier owners. No one mentioned issues relating to noise produced by motors or fans, and in general this model is a quiet and efficient example of a mid-line dehumidifier. Most customers agreed that they would purchase the GE ADER40LN Dehumidifier again if given the chance. In general, this model is considered one of the best small to medium dehumidifiers available on the market.

Because the GE ADER40LN Dehumidifier is no longer being manufactured, it may become more difficult to find as the years go by. However, if you can get your hands on one it is likely to provide great performance and service for years to come!
