" ... I've only had this dehumidifier for about 2 weeks now and I will give you my first impressions. ... This review could change in the next week as soon as I get a replacement. ... I got the E5 pump error again and I even tried a few things to help get the pump to work but to my disappointment, it still did not work. ... First week impressions . ... Even if the pump didn't work, as soon as it had been running for a few days, it did not have to work as hard and turned off more often. ... I'm going to wait for the replacement and then write and update. ... "
" ... Amazon will not replace the unit after only a month of use and it has been defective since the start. ... "
" ... The unit was defective from the beginning. ... "
" ... It stopped working in less than a month. ... "
" ... This unit is giving me constant E5 errors. ... What is an E5 error you say? ... "
" ... On October 3, 2019, it threw an E3 error code ("Gas Leak") and stopped working. ... "
" ... I only saw one other negative review for this unit for the same reason, I don't know if our unit was defective or if that is how its designed. ... Also I can't comment on the longevity of the product since we have used this less than a week. ... "

" ... Works great low noise large capacity reservoir easy to empty. ... "
" ... But every function on the machine operates as claimed, and its dehumidifying capacity is excellent. ... "
" ... It rolls easily on the excellent casters. ... There could be an easier way to remove the bins. ... "
" ... Nice handle and wheels to move it around if need be. ... "

" ... The product: The connection from the unit to the pump broke right away. ... "
" ... The plastic can tend to rattle over time which makes the unit noisier. ... "
" ... Once I had the electrician put in another outlet the drain hose tip broke very easily. ... "
" ... After I started to use it with the continuous pump feature I realized the connector was broke. ... "
" ... I applied almost no pressure and the entire part broke apart. ... "
" ... Broke within 90 days. ... "

" ... When I actually hooked it up and ran the hose outside the pump feature does not work. ... "
" ... Once I had the electrician put in another outlet the drain hose tip broke very easily. ... "
" ... When I received the unit, the coupling for the pump discharge hose was broken, but the hose connection on my old unit fit, and I used it. ... "
" ... However the major reason why we bought this was because of the continuous drain hose. ... "
" ... Buyers beware purchasing this pump fed model for broken hose pump attachment. ... "
" ... IT HAS A DRAIN HOSE. ... "
" ... The drain receptacle on the back of the unit has a flange on it that prevents most garden hoses from being able to thread into the receptacle. ... I tried every garden hose that I own, plus went to the hardware store and bought every hose female end I could find, and only after significant trial and error was I lucky to find one elbow connector that had a deep enough set of threads to actually seat it on the drain receptacle. ... "
" ... Only minor complaint would be the continuous flow hose is too short. ... "

I had to contact Amazon and get a replacement for an E5 error code reading which after some internet research and reading other comments, it is a water pump failure that can not be fixed, it needs to be returned. ... I hope I just got a bad one and all the flaws were just because I got the bad apple. ... "
" ... I purchased this product and within a year received an E3 error code. ... "
" ... This unit is giving me constant E5 errors. ... What is an E5 error you say? ... "
" ... The dehumidifier ran until the bucket filled (the bucket should NOT have filled), then shut down showing error code "E 5", which isn't listed anywhere in the literature or on their website. ... "
" ... The unit ran and performed well for three days, then I got an E5 error code, which is pump failure. ... "

" ... It was able to suck out a lot of water so far and the continuous drainage feature is useful. ... "

" ... This was used for a small rehab gym (veterinary hospital) that has an underwater treadmill in it. ... "
" ... What I thought was special was that the water is easy to empty and the container has a handle that was convenient, compared to a previous dehumidifier I owned a few years ago. ... "
