Backed by our outstanding warranty, Honeywell's dehumidifiers are the trusted choice for reliable, long-lasting moisture removal for your home. This Energy Star unit removes up to 70 pints of moisture daily with less energy than conventional dehumidifiers, saving you money on electricity costs. Ideal for a room up to 3,500 square feet, our 70-pint dehumidifier is ideal for any room in your home or apartment. A smart digital humidistat control system automatically senses room moisture levels and activates dehumidification to help maintain desired humidity levels. Honeywell Dehumidifiers are designed for portability, with smooth-gliding caster wheels and convenient top handles to move the unit from room to room with ease. Plus, the continuous drain option increases flexibility by allowing you to continuously drain the condensate water into a low-level drain for worry-free operation.
A: The "Features" tab on the HW website has the answer: 70 Pint (50 Pint 2019 DOE Standard) Energy Star Qualified Dehumidifier for 4,000 sq. ft. - a lot of manufacturers still use the old 2012 DOE standard, which is 70-pint. The new 2019 standard only rates it at 50-pint. 50 is the new 70!
Q: Will Best Buy recycle my old dehumidifier?
A: Nope. You have to pay a company to take it off your hands. I have 5 dehumidifiers that no longer work. They last for only 2 years. Kills me, shouldn't we demand that they make these things last for 10 years like they once did? Then we wont have to add these pieces of junk to our landfills.
Q: How many years does this Honeywell dehumidifier last?
A: 2 years 4 months
Q: Does the Honeywell - Energy Star 50-PInt Dehumidifier emit a lot of heat? Is it quiet?
A: This dehumidifier is very quiet for a dehumidifier. We have it running in our basement next to the bottom of the stairway, and you can barely hear it running from the top of the basement stairs. Granted, it does still make some noise, but it's a fairly low hum. I'd say maybe on a par with a fan on low speed. So unless you're a person who is sensitive to any noise, this should be quite acceptable. Regarding the heat, my unit has been running almost nonstop since the last major storm we had that flooded our basement (about a month ago), and it is cool to the touch on all sides. It blows air out the vent at the top, and that feels lukewarm at best, or just barely cool. Hope this helps!
A: Hello, thank you for your inquiry. There is a 5% threshold when the desired humidity setting has been reached. The compressor will shut off once the relative humidity is 5% lower than your desired setting. The fan will continue to run for up to 3 minutes to cool the motor and will then shut off. Operation restores once the relative humidity is 5% higher than your desired setting. The Water Tank Capacity is 14 pints.
Q: Hi. Can you please tell me why it's advertised as a 70 pint but then talks about 50 pint?
A: Hello, I put that very same thing into my review. Please see here; Works great. Nice humidifier! Owned for 3 weeks by Audrey when reviewed. Verified Purchase This dehumidifier works great but the description is a bit contradictory. It says 70 pint but it is not. I think it is more like a 50 pint, but still nice because it works great and is not too heavy for me to lift and also it is much easier to open and close the drawer where the water goes in.
Q: Can a garden hose be connected? If not, what is the diameter of drain tube?
A: Hello, thank you for your inquiry. Your typical garden hose will work with this unit as long as you are using it for continuous drain. If you are wanting to activate the water pump, you will need to use the hose that is provided with the unit with the proper attachment. The Inner Dia.: 0.47 inch.
