I'll start my review by saying I'm a Mechanical Design Engineer. Therefore my comments on this are from an engineering point-of-view.The only negative thing I have to say is this a product from China. However It's very hard to find a product in this class made in the USA. I'll stop there.
I've never heard of Danby until I received an email from Amazon for deals on dehumidifiers. I was on the fence at first but a review of their website and reading Amazon reviews I felt better about proceeding with this purchase. I do not have any regrets with my decision.
Many people only look at the capacity of dehumidifiers (how much moisture they are rated at to remove). Although this is helpful in sizing a unit for a space, the next important specification is air flow. How much air does the fan in the device move. Typically expressed in Cubic Feet per Minute. Most manufacturers do not include this in residential dehumidifiers. This device moves some air!
Upon turning it on I noticed the fan squirrel cage is clearly visible through the vent on the top of the unit. Air is sucked in from the sides and is exhausted straight up from the top. There are very few obstructions in the vent openings which allow efficient air flow. The exhaust air blows upward which creates turbulance in the room air. This helps to get the air in the room circulating around resulting in more efficient dehumidification. Great design feature!. Whirlpool and Fridgidaire units don't to this.
The controls are very simple to operate. It also displays the room temp and relative humidity of the ambient room air. You can also switch units from F to C.
Danby actually includes a drain hose! I I attached the hose in a matter of seconds. I have this in my basement so emptying the bucket is a pain to remember. So I have the hose emptying the water into a HVAC condensate pump that automatically pumps the water to my mop sink via plastic tubing.
A two year warranty.
This unit is well designed. Modern in appearance. Easy to move. Easy to operate. Had it running in les the 10 minutes.
I have a pallet of Whirlpool and other dehumidifiers that lasted up to 2 years sitting in back of my garage. I think I'll capture the refrigerant, and bring them to the scrap yard. Since these using have a significant amount of aluminium and copper in them I'll make enough to purchase another Danby unit for my garage.
I hope I've pointed out enough to help you with your decision. Danby is an excellent product in my book.
