High humidity levels can create uncomfortable conditions for allergy sufferers and even result in structural damage like peeling paint, damaged wood, and mold growth. Perfect for damp basements or any musty room of the house, this professional-grade dehumidifier has the capacity to efficiently remove up to 90 pints of excess moisture per day. The powerful appliance can quickly dry out a basement after water damage, as well as help maintain an everyday healthy indoor environment. A control knob on the outside of the unit makes it simple to set the dehumidification level. Start with a "normal" setting between "3" and "5" for average conditions; turn the knob clockwise towards "7" or "more" for drier conditions or counter-clockwise towards "1" or "less" for higher moisture levels. The dehumidifier runs automatically to achieve and maintain the desired relative-humidity level. Other highlights include air filtration, lockable caster wheels for smooth mobility, an 8-foot grounded cord, a drain line and tube, and quiet operation. Under normal conditions, the filter in the dehumidifier should be cleaned or replaced once a year. It removes easily via the access panel on the side of the unit and can be flushed clean with a solution of warm water and mild detergent. The dehumidifier measures 24 by 20-3/4 by 22-3/16 inches and carries a five-year limited warranty.
