does it have a humidistat to shut the whole unit off?

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

When the continuous mode is set, the unit automatically turns off when the bucket is full of water. After emptying the water, the unit starts again. I have not tried to use the other mode.

One of the nice things about this Edgestar unit is the entire unit will shut off when the selected humidity level is reached. Most comparable unit's fan will keep running and only the compressor will shut on/off. The Edgestar shuts all the way off making it less noisy than other models.

The unit allows you to set the desired humidity level between 35% relative humidity and 80% relative humidity. It shuts off automatically when the desired humidity level is reached. The alternative way to use the unit is to set it in continuous mode. It shuts off in this mode only when the bucket is filled with water.

Yes ,Once the dirsired hummidity is reach the unit will turn off and will run again when the humidity rises...I love this unit......Also you can set the timer to run for 1,2,3 hours and more....and then the unit will shut completely off...

the unit shuts off when the water container is full with the 70 pints. if a hose is used instead of the container it shuts off when it reaches your programed humidity setting. hope this helps.

Yes. When it reaches desired humidity setting, the compressor shuts off first and the fan continues to circulate air for a few mins. It will automatically turn back on when humidity rises.

I wish I could help, but I've yet to open the box. That said, my experience with all dehumidifiers is that they do have an automatic shut-off ability.

It Can be set up to shut off automatic 3 different ways. It's all in the manual. This is a good unit.Pulls a lot of moisture out of the air.

Yes. The unit has the ability to turn this off. Although if off you must press the lock button or turn the lock everytime.

You only need to run the fan for the length of time needed to remove the humidity in the area. Once that level is established, there is an automatic shutoff. It is pretty quiet.

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 does not turn off complete, the fan still runs when it reaches the set limit, but it does not outputany moisture at that point. It turns on and off the mist only, not the fan.

I don't have my setup to empty into a drain but the unit I have does shut off completely when the desired humidity level is reached. I have been unhappy about this since the unit is not supposed to shut off completely (unless the water tank is full). I returned one unit after confirming with the manufacturer that indeed the fan should continue running even when the compressor stops (once humidity level is reached). The second unit they sent me is doing the same thing as the first - shutting off and then clicking back on....which wakes me up at night.

Yes, it does. I leave it on the lower speed because it's slightly quieter, still removes the moisture, and I suspect uses slightly less electricity. I find that I empty the unit about twice a day. Now that the air isn't so humid, I actually turn the unit off so the fan doesn't run constantly. The fan does turn off when the water bucket fills, though. I still recommend the unit. I hope this was helpful.

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!

I have never used the humidifier option. I can tell you, its the very best heater I have ever owned.

No...but I bought, sorry, can't remember exactly what it was called, a unit with temp. and humidity. I have asthma so humidity levels are important to me. Couldn't have been too spendy, I'm also kind of cheap.

I don't have answer for this question. But I should let you know that this one was broken within two months. Then I had to buy another humidifier.

no but it can be modified (goodbye warranty) to humidify rather than dehumidify. Heating vs cooling is not an option but also a possible modification

yes it does have a seperat container. Pulls out easily from the front.What I do not like is it does not shut off when the Humidity gets to set level.The compresssor shuts down but the fan rubs forever.

No it has auto shut off. But one fill lasts at least 6 houts. Its a first class diffuser, i tried several
