NewAir AD-400 40-Pint Dehumidifier

The NewAir AD-400 40-Pint Dehumidifier is a medium-size model with a great track record. While a bit small for whole-house dehumidification, it should be more than powerful enough to dry out a mobile home, trailer, or basement. Set humidity levels as high or low as you like, and sit back to wait for the results!

Appearance and Design

A tall, sleek, silvery casing and one-touch control panel lend an air of simplicity and grace to this design. It would easily be at home in a kitchen, living, or dining area, unlike the clunky exteriors of some popular dehumidifiers, and features rolling caster wheels for easy, pain-free transportation from room to room. Low-temperature design allows the unit to function properly down to 41 degrees Fahrenheit, and 24-hour settings encourage owners to set hours of operation. It beats getting up in the middle of the night to turn off a rattling fan!

Functionality and Use

The NewAir AD-400 40-Pint Dehumidifier can be set to maintain relative humidity levels of anywhere from 35 – 80%. In general, experts recommend household humidity levels of 35 – 50%, so keep this in mind when programming your unit. It features an activated carbon air purification filter to ensure that allergens are not released back into the air via the fan, and can be hooked up to a hose system for continuous drainage if permanent installation is desired.

Model Limitations

For the most part, there have not been any complaints concerning the limitations of the NewAir AD-400 40-Pint Dehumidifier. It appears to be consistent and reliable overall. That said, certain general limitations apply to all dehumidifiers: they can prevent mold and mildew, but will not stop a full-blown outbreak. A 40-pint model will not be sufficient to dehumidify a whole house, and most units have a relatively short lifespan as appliances go, often lasting only 2-5 years before requiring replacement.

Customer Service and Warranty

Like most dehumidifiers, the NewAir AD-400 is sold with a 1-year limited manufacturer’s warranty on all parts and services. Although this model appears to have few design flaws and is likely to have decent longevity, it may be prudent to look into purchasing an extra year or two of retailer warranty service. This can save a world of trouble if the unit malfunctions or breaks down just after the year mark, which has been known to happen; instead of struggling with customer service representatives, just hop on over to the retailer and pick up a replacement!

What Do Owners Say?

Owners unanimously agree that the NewAir AD-400 40-Pint Dehumidifier works great. Any review worth its salt will look for both the upsides and the downsides of the unit being discussed, but in this case the downsides have been hard to find! Customers have used this model in both wet and dry weather in a variety of locations. It has performed equally well in basements, bedrooms, and mobile homes - drying out damp carpet, reducing mildew issues and generally being a really useful appliance.

If you’re looking for something both stylish and reliable, it’s likely that the NewAir AD-400 40-Pint Dehumidifier should be a contender on your list of possible choices.
