Dehumidifiers



Here are listed many of the features on today's models.

1. Automatic turn-off switch that shuts unit off when
container is full

2. Signal light indicating that container is full.

3. Adjustable "fill" control that stops unit at the
desired "fill" level.

4. Automatic humidistat that maintains the desired
humidity level.

5. Automatic defrost control which shuts compressor off
when freeze-up develops and turns it on again when ice is
melted. (This occurs when temperature and relative
humidity are low.)

6. Combination dehumidifier/heater to warm a room that
tends to be chilly frequently.

7. Quiet-running compressors and fans.

8. Easy-to-reach controls.

9. Easy-to-clean grille, condenser coil and container.

10.Rustproof, spillproof container with built-in handles
for portability.

11.Drain-hose fitting to let water run continuously to a
convenient drain.

12.Wheels or rollers for easy mobility.

13.Rust-resistant cabinet.

While control or built-in features may increase a
model's convenience of operation, they also raise its
price. Consider each option carefully before you decide
it is worth purchasing. But the most important
consideration is "water removal capacity"--the number of
pints of water removed from the air in 24 hours. The AHAM
Dehumidification Selection Guide helps you determine what
dehumidification capacity you need.
