Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Danby DDR586R 58 Pint Dehumidifier - Light Grey
Customer Review: Efficient and quiet
Summary: 4 Stars
I did a lot of research before choosing the Danby DDR586R. My choice was based on numerous reviews as well as information from the company website.
My purchase was through QualityMatters.com. The first unit they sent me was defective in that the compressor never turned on even though the unit powered up and the fan ran fine. Result: no moisture removal. I noticed this the first evening and called Danby the next morning. Their customer service was terrific. They asked me a few questions to make sure I had the unit set up correctly, then determined that the unit was indeed defective. They contacted QualityMatters and authorized a UPS home pickup for the defective unit and had them simultaneously ship a new replacement unit. I simply had to repackage the unit, which took like 5 min because I had saved the shipping box and foam. UPS showed up at my door with a preprinted label and picked up the defective unit within 48 hr. The new dehumidifier arrived the next day and has been working great.
This unit is well-designed and *quiet*, which is a huge plus. It sucks water out of the air like nobody's business. In my ~1600 sq. ft. basement, the relative humidity was 65% or so, and within 30 hours of running the DDR586R, it had dropped to the low 50% range. You can easily feel the difference on your skin. Right now, I have it set to 50% and it is maintaining that no problem. Did I mention that it is quiet? I can't even hear it running in my basement.
Although the (quiet) fan does run continuously when the unit is powered on, the unit does have an auto-restart feature and it remembers your previous humidity settings. This means that you can plug the unit into a timer to have it run for say, 12 hours (or however long you need to maintain the desired humidity level), then have it shut off. The fan is now off too. When the timer turns the unit on again 12 hours later, the settings are remembered and so there is no need to reset anything--it just starts up again where it left off. Therefore, you do not having to run the unit 24/7, even with fan only, unless you want to.
Pros: Quiet, efficient, stylish, well-built, easy to move around.
Cons: Temporary "plastic" odor (which goes away after a couple of days running), direct-drain outlet could be a few inches higher to insure good water flow.
Bottom line: Highly recommended.
