With the high humidity playing spoilsport at times it has
become necessary to have the dehumidifiers in operation. The high humidity can
make you wet with sweat in the hot weather and can damage the electronic
equipment. In the cold temperatures, the high humidity causes the excess
moisture in the air to condense on any cool metal surface and it does not
evaporate.
At such times, you need to remove the excess moisture from
the air to have a comfortable environment. The correct humidity also allows you
to breathe comfortably taking in just the desired quantity of moisture inside
your lungs. All this is made possible by the versatile DeLonghi dehumidifier.
It is equipment suitable for the basements also where you normally have higher
humidity levels. Let us review it by looking at its features:
Capacity and Room size:
Based on the room size you can make a choice of the right
DeLonghi dehumidifier for you. For example the 70 pint capacity humidifier is
suitable for the 1200 square feet room, while the 45/50 pint one suits the 700
square feet room. To understand the features better we will further look at the
50 pint capacity model.
Water collection:
The transparent water collection is located in the front and
one can see the level by naked eye. You can manually empty the tank every time
or go in for the pump function. A level sensor ensures that the collection tank
never overflows, by stopping the function of the dehumidifier. If opted for the
patented pump allows you to automatically empty the tank through a drainpipe
connected to the sink. It is also possible to pump water upward and drain the
basement through the window. It has a water defrost function that does not
allow water to freeze inside the equipment in cold temperatures.
Electronic controls:
You can select the humidity level by adjusting the
humidistat. The dehumidifier functions relentlessly to achieve the desired
humidity level. The LCD panel displays the relative humidity and temperature
for you to monitor the status. The dehumidifier does not have an automatic
restart or shut off feature. You can set the timer to turn it off. If the power
is cut, you will need to restart it.

The 50-pint capacity model weighs around 42 pounds. However,
it is easy to move around due the provision of castor wheels and handles. You
can easily maneuver it throughout your home or basement to position it at the
right spot.
