Sunpentown SD-65E 65-Pint Dehumidifier

If someone in the residence suffers from allergies or asthma, homeowners can try removing excess moisture from the air to help with the breathing. Not only will a dehumidifier remove moisture, but the water filter will assist with removing dust and small particulates from the air.

How to Use the Sunpentown SD-65E

Homeowners should measure the area where they are having moisture problems. The Sunpentown SD-65E is made to work in an area of 500 square feet. While the unit can remove 65 pints of moisture from the area per day, the water bucket only holds 21 pints so homeowners need to be prepared to empty the water bucket regularly when they first run the unit. However, the unit will automatically shut off when the water bucket is full. Owners can avoid repeatedly emptying the water bucket by installing the external drainage connection.

Additional Considerations

The Sunpentown SD-65E has an automatic defrost which will help prevent the coils from freezing. The filter included with the unit is also washable so that homeowners can clean it and keep the unit at peak performance. If the owner feels that this unit needs to be repaired they should search out a certified technician or contact the manufacturer.
