So far so good... Reviewed by: Moisture woes! from Eugene, Oregon I have used two other dehumidifiers in my daylight basement. Both failed compressor death after about 14 months of use. Neither unit responded to the % humidity set on the machine - both tried to turn my basement into a desert i.e. the selector was set to 45% but the units kept running taking the humidity below 35% - waste of energy!. After several weeks of use, the Danby is keeping the humidity at 50% setting on the unit. However, the fan runs continually and I do not like the "noise" not really loud, just annoying when I am working in the basement. I am hoping this one lasts longer than the other two.

Not what I expected.... Reviewed by: Big Mama from Northeast, USA After reading reviews, I was looking forward to having a very quiet and efficient dehumifier. That is not the case, however. This is very loud - even on the lower fan setting. I also do not like the fact that when it is restarted after being off, it does not remember settings and the humidity level setting is high. I have renters who do not take the time to look at settings, thus the unit is not drawing out moisture from the area. The one plus is that this is the easiest "continuous drain" set up I've even seen on a dehumidifier and I've purchased many. Overall, very disappointed.

Wet in the Northeast Reviewed by: Mark G. from Maine The 50 pint Danby worked great on drying out my downstairs. We have had a lot of rain up here this year. I own a two story home with a crawlspace and I have had trouble with wet spots and mold in the downstairs rooms. This took the moisture out over a couple of days. The only downfall I found it the fan does not shut off when the wanted humidity level is reached. Overall, I am happy with this dehumidifier, especially over others we researched. Pricing and free shipping were considerations as well.

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 dehumidifier line 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

There is little doubt these are heavy. On low pile carpet and hard surfaces the casters save you a good deal of trouble when moving them, but they are certainly not an appliance you want to be moving often.

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.
