GE Dehumidifier Review: Which GE Model Should You Buy?

GE's dehumidifiers are sold by GE Appliances, which its own Walmart storefront describes as a Haier company. The current models on Amazon are the ADHE family: a 35 pint and a 50 pint, with the 50 also available with a built-in pump. All of them share GE's Smart Dry feature, which adjusts the fan speed to the room's humidity, plus a 30 to 70% humidistat and a filter reminder.

One thing we could not confirm: none of the ADHE model numbers appear in ENERGY STAR's certified dehumidifier data as of November 2026. ENERGY STAR does list three GE models under ADSE numbers, but we could not match those to a product on sale. If certified efficiency matters to you, Midea, Frigidaire, Hisense and Honeywell's current models all have records you can check.

GE smart dehumidifier

The ADHE models sold on Amazon do not have Wi-Fi. GE does sell a GE smart dehumidifier: its Walmart storefront lists a 50 pint model with Smart Dry and Wi-Fi monitoring. If app control matters, compare it with the Midea Cube, which has Wi-Fi on every size. Our smart dehumidifier guide lists the best Wi-Fi models.

Older GE models and recalls

Older GE models such as the GE ADHL22LA (a 22 pint unit) still turn up used. Before buying any used GE dehumidifier, check the model number against the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's recall list. In August 2023 the CPSC announced that Gree was recalling 1.56 million dehumidifiers that could overheat, smoke and catch fire. They were made between January 2011 and February 2014 and sold under brands including GE, Kenmore and SoleusAir, and the CPSC's notice lists the affected GE model numbers. Consumers were told to stop using them and contact Gree for a refund. That recall covers units made by Gree more than a decade ago; GE's current dehumidifiers are a different product line.

Pros and cons of GE

Verdict

GE's current dehumidifiers are practical machines with a big bucket and a strong pump. The ADHE50PWF is a reasonable basement choice. But because we could not find their efficiency on ENERGY STAR's list, and they lack Wi-Fi, the Midea Cube 50 and Frigidaire's 50 pint models are easier to recommend for most buyers.
