Dried out mold Reviewed by: Sue from Nashville We've only had this for a month, but so far it's done great to dry out an area in our basement where we'd had water damage and mold growing.

Beating Korea's Humidity Reviewed by: Army Wife from Pyeongtaek, South Korea Before I bought this dehumidifier, my marble floors were damp and my kids were slipping on them, my dished wouldn't dry, my sheets were damp, and it was overall miserable in the house. The day this was delivered there was immediate relief. Bought the humidity from 87% to 60% in 24 hours and it works for the whole house! The only reason it got 4 stars was that the unit is a little noisy and it does put out some heat.

Danby DH working well Reviewed by: from PA Just bought and received as promised. Dried out basement in two days with over a bucket each day. Actual humidity reading handy as well as actual temperature. Reviews said quiet system, but I would say not loud, but not quiet. Fan runs when machine is turned on even if not dehumidfying, thus always has sound of a fan running. Overall pleased, just don't like fan always running.

Customer Q & A

Q1: Can I hook this up to drain straight into my drain hole in my basement and have it on constantly?

A: Indeed! Simple attached the supplied hose and run the line to the floor drain. This is often the preferred option when gravity is on your side, since it elminates the need to empty the bucket.

Q2: Why is the fan running all the time? My older unit was turning off when the humidity was low.

A: The fan runs continuously to keep air circulating throughout the room. This is to provide a more even and thorough removal of moisture in the space where you have the Danby operating.

Q3: Does the fan run all the time even when the bucket if full?

A: No. About the only time the unit completely kicks off is when the power is out, when you set the time and it goes into Standby mode after it cycles off, and when the bucket is completely full. When full the unit goes into Standby mode until emptied then will resume at your previous settings.

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.
