Features

Modern Design

It is an ideal dehumidifier for large spaces. You can place it in your large bedroom, or you can keep it with you in your working space/office. It is also an adequate unit for your basement or storage unit. The dehumidifier can remove up to 9 gallons (70 pints 2012 DOE Standard) of moisture every day, and the maximum areas to which it can provide proper coverage is 4,500 Square feet.

With a variety of functions to make the operation easy for the users, the dehumidifier certainly is easy to use. Setting up the unit is also quite simple. There’s no complicated procedure to be followed, and you can set the dehumidifier for work and rest easy.

Whisper- Quiet Operation

The unit works by making very little noise, which is a feature that is of great importance if you’re planning on placing this product in your bedroom, living room, or office. You don’t want to be disturbed by the constant noise that many dehumidifier units make while operating.

The unit makes 52/50/48 decibels of noise respectively on high/medium/low settings. Keeping in mind that a decibel under 45 is virtually silent, even the loudest of the sounds created by the dehumidifier still is as loud as a quiet conversation. It will not interfere with your sleep or work.

Safe & Efficient

The dehumidifier has been thoroughly tested and is safe for use. It is UL certified and upholds the highest standards of safety for your home. You don’t have to worry about its breaking down or malfunctioning either as it is quite durable.

Along with being a safe product, it is also an efficient working machine. It works by consuming very little energy and saves your money. That is why it is Energy- Star Certified. This efficient working goes a long way in ensuring that you get the best dehumidification for as little energy as possible.

Power Outage Restart

One of the best features of the unit is the power outage restart feature. In case there is a power outage, most units shut down, and you have to restart them once the power comes back on.

With this dehumidifier, you don’t have to worry about being there every time to restart it. Whenever the power is resumed, the unit automatically resumes its operation without your interference.

One more added feature on that is that after each startup, there is no need for resetting the unit either. The dehumidifier remembers your preferred setting before the light out and reverts to them once the power is back on.

Washable filter

The filter used in the dehumidifier keeps the process working smoothly. However, it does need some maintenance every once in a while. After about 250 hours of operation, a light on the display screen will remind you that it’s time for the cleanup. At this point, you can take out the filter, and clean it thoroughly, to resume operation at the most efficient level.

Continuous Drainage

The dehumidifier runs for some time, and after about five hours, the bucket is full, and you can empty it at this point. The drain bucket comes with a swivel handle and spill-resistant baffles to ensure you don’t spill any water while taking out to the collected water.

However, if you do not like the idea of emptying the bucket, again and again, you can switch the gravity drain mode of the dehumidifier. By adding a drain hose, and placing the dehumidifier near an appropriate floor drain for the draining.
With the inbuilt pump, you can drain the water in any direction, up, down, or around, up to 15 feet away from the dehumidifier.
