Danby Premiere DDR60A3GP 60-Pint Dehumidifier Review

Danby Premiere DDR60A3GP 60-Pint Dehumidifier Review

The dehumidifier has one of the best price/performance ratings within the 51-75 pints dehumidifiers category. It can remove up to 60 pints of moisture in the 24-hour term. I have calculated that Danby Premiere DDR60A3GP practical room size is 1000 square feet (93 square meters). This device is the only one in the class with an internal condensate pump and drain hose included.

Danby Premiere DDR60A3GP Design and Size 

First, I have to say that this dehumidifier comes very well packaged, and the setup instructions are easy to follow.

Danby DDR60A3GP has an elegant, portable design. It weighs 40 pounds (19 kilograms) that are less than most of the competitors. The design enables you to move freely throughout your residence. The casters and carrying handles makes it even more simple to do.

On the top of the Danby, DDR60A3GP dehumidifier is a soft-touch (electronic) control panel with many functions and a dehumidified dry air vent. In front of the device are a moist air intake, air filter, and bucket.

Overall, it is well built, with no rattles or poor finish.

Height x width x depth is 24 x 15 x 12 inches.

Danby Premiere DDR60A3GP Features

• The device has a humidistat; the adjustable range is within 30% RH to 90% RH. The display shows the current humidistat.
• Automatic defrost function with defrost light.

Danby Premiere DDR60A3GP Noise level

Noise level is similar to other dehumidifiers. Danby DDR60A3GP has 2 fan speeds, and the highest has a noise level of 55 decibels. That’s similar to sounds in a medium home. Some people say it’s noisy; some say it’s not.

Danby Premiere DDR60A3GP Maintenance and upkeep

If you use a water container to remove water, you will have to empty containers 2-4 times per day. It could not be delightful. If you use a drain hose, then you don’t need any maintenance.

The air filter must be checked and cleaned regularly – every 2 weeks for maximum operating efficiency. The cleaning process is easy. Filter comes out with one hand movement. Clean filter with a vacuum cleaner or wash it with clean water and dry with a dry cloth.

Danby DDR60A3GP is Energy Star-rated for higher efficiency, money-saving performance. Max’s energy usage is 640W (Average in class is more than 700W).

Summary
