Danby DDR7009REE 70-Pint Dehumidifier

Large spaces with moisture problems require quick attention before mold and mildew become a problem. The size of the space is going to require a dehumidifier with enough power to manage the moisture level and dispose of the water in a convenient method.

Selecting the Danby DDR7009REE

Consumers can look to the Danby DDR7009REE 70-Pint Dehumidifier which will remove moisture from as large a space as 3,800 square feet. This unit can remove 70 pints of water from the air over the course of one day. It features a remote control and electronic settings that enables users to set the humidity level to their desired percentage level. The unit will even automatically turn on and off to maintain the owner’s humidity setting. These advanced controls also help to reduce the unit’s electrical consumption.

How Does the Danby DDR7009REE Work?

On the Danby DDR7009REE’s control panel, owners can use the toggle buttons to set the percentage of humidity to their preference; from 90% to 30% in 5% increments. The unit will maintain that setting, turning off and on as needed. Owners can also set a 24-hour timer. The remote control for the unit will work up to 16 feet away so owners need not get up to make adjustments to the Danby DDR7009REE’s control panel. On a side note, even on the highest settings the unit makes less than 55 decibels of sound so that consumers can enjoy their normal activities in the same space.

Using the Drainage Tank or Hose

The Danby DDR7009REE provides two options for disposing of the dehumidifier’s water. First, the unit has a built in tank that will hold 70 pints of water. This unit has a red indicator light to warn owners that the tank is full. If the indicator light is on, the unit will not turn back on until the tank is emptied and properly seated back in the unit. Second, the Danby DDR7009REE comes with a drainage hose that will enable the unit to continuously empty the tank. If necessary, owners can purchase a condensate pump accessory (sold separately) to pump moisture from the dehumidifier to another location.

Environmentally Friendly

The Danby dehumidifier is Energy Star compliant. It uses a non-ozone depleting refrigerant, R-410A refrigerant. Combine this with the electronic control settings of the unit for efficient power usage. This unit is packaged in environmentally–friendly materials so that owners can contribute to their local recyclable programs and help reduce environmental waste. The washable air filter in the unit helps remove allergens and other particles from the air so that residents can breathe easier.

Customer Reviews

Customers report that this unit has worked very well in removing moisture from basements, even those with standing water. They report that the control panel is a nice feature as it displays what the current humidity is in the space. In addition, customers stated that running the Danby DDR7009REE did not increase their electricity bill which had been a concern of some consumers. Set up of the unit was reported easy, however most consumers prefer using the drainage hose as the water tank may fill quickly depending on the amount of moisture in the room.

If homeowners have a large space that is wet and damp with humidity, the Danby DDR7009REE can eliminate the moisture problem so that they have a usable space for storage or living. With advanced settings this unit can be set to the owner’s preferences for comfort and ease of use.
