Danby Premiere 50 Pint Dehumidifier DDR5009REE Product Reviews

Danby Dehumidifiers

The Danby line of dehumidifiers is possibly the best in the business. The models differ in capacity and square footage serviced, but they all offer efficient water removal at a reasonable price. After testing two different models at our facility, we were impressed by the results.

What I liked about the Danby dehumidifiers

Quite simply, the Danby removed enormous amounts of water from the air. Although both models were tested during the hot and humid months of summer, we were surprised to find that over the course of an eight hour period we had to empty the holding tanks of each three times. Combined, the two models removed a total of 232 pints of moisture from the air in our warehouse, the equivalent of 29 gallons. Granted, we realized that the conditions in your home are likely not as extreme as those under which we tested, but the sheer volume of moisture collected was likely the most impressive feature of these models.

The ease of use was also a decided advantage. All of the Danby models provide users with two simple fan settings as well as a humidistat control. When compared to a separate humidity gauge, the humidity readings on the Danby were very accurate.

Despite running non-stop during our testing periods, the Danby models are all quiet for their size. Regardless of fan setting, they produced less noise than comparable models. Additionally, the Danby dehumidifiers are all Energy Star compliant and use less electricity than most of their competitors.

All models also offer a direct drain line to save the aggravation of having to manually empty the tank. This would be particularly useful if you were using it in a basement or somewhere near your HVAC drain line where you could effectively tie the 6.5 ft. of included drain hose into the existing drain line. Regardless of whether you use it in your basement or living room, the drain line saves mess and hassle.

What I did not like about the Danby dehumidifiers

Across the web you will find a lot of information showing these Danby models effective for extremely large areas. Literature from Danby rates the Danby 50 as effective for up to 3000 Sq. Ft. However our tests have found this to be a bit extreme. Across our site we have adjusted Danby coverage area by taking into account our product testing results and each units CFM (cubic feet per minute - fan speed).

Overall, the Danby Dehumidifier is likely the best humidifier on the market, particularly for larger areas. Our test of the two of the Danby models gave us excellent results with few drawbacks, and a most recent release of Consumer Reports only supports what we found. They ranked a Danby as its Best Buy for large capacity dehumidifiers.
