Excess humidity can make you feel uncomfortable, damage your materials home, and increase the number of dust mites and mold spores in your home. Comfort-Aire dehumidifiers quietly and efficiently remove moisture from the air. Compact in size, they feature casters so that you can easily roll them from room to room.
Choose from three sizes: The Comfort-Aire BHD-301 dehumidifier removes 30 pints of water per day and operates in temperatures down to 65°F. The Comfort-Aire BHD-501 and the Comfort-Aire BHD-651 feature electronic touchpad controls and low-temperature operation down to 42°F, and they remove 50 pints and 65 pints per day, respectively.
Comfort-Aire Dehumidifier Features
Automatic Shut-Off ensures that the drain container will never overflow. When it's full, the dehumidifier beeps three times and displays a "Full" light.
Drain Options allow you to drain the water from the container without having to empty it yourself.
Easy Controls take the hassle out of operation. The Comfort-Aire BHD-301 dehumidifier features electro-mechanical controls. Models BHD-501 and BHD-651 feature an
electronic touchpad, and they also display actual room humidity and relative humidity.
Auto Restart resumes operation after a power outage.
Slide-Out Filters are easily removed for cleaning, and they're reusable.
Comfort-Aire models BHD-501 and BHD-651 are Energy Star Compliant.
1-year warranty on parts; 5-year warranty on sealed system parts (evaporator, compressor, etc.)
How to Choose Your Comfort-Aire Dehumidifier
Larger dehumidifiers are necessary in hot, humid climates. Several factors can increase indoor humidity, including the use of washers and dryers, open doors and windows that let moisture in, and even the number of people leaving in the home. (More people lead to more moisture in the air.) If there's any question about which size to choose, go with the larger model.
