Free Standing Dehumidifier

A freestanding dehumidifier is a portable device designed to remove excess moisture from the air in a specific area. These units are versatile and can be moved around as needed. Here are some factors to consider when looking for a freestanding dehumidifier:

1. Capacity: The capacity of a whole home dehumidifier is measured in pints of moisture removed per day. Consider the size of the area you need to dehumidify and choose a unit with an appropriate capacity. Small units may have capacities around 30-50 pints, while larger units can remove 70 pints or more per day.

2. Coverage Area: Determine the square footage of the space you want to dehumidify. Make sure the dehumidifier's capacity matches or exceeds the size of the area.

3. Energy Efficiency: Look for models that have earned the Energy Star certification. Energy Star-rated dehumidifiers are designed to be more energy-efficient, which can help save on electricity costs.

4. Humidistat: This feature allows you to set a desired humidity level. The whole house dehumidifier will then cycle on and off to maintain that level. This can help save energy by preventing the unit from running unnecessarily.

5. Continuous Drainage Option: Some models offer the ability to connect a hose for continuous drainage, which eliminates the need to manually empty a water tank.

6. Auto-Defrost Feature: If you plan to use the dehumidifier in a cold environment, consider a unit with an auto-defrost feature. This prevents the coils from freezing and ensures the dehumidifier operates efficiently.

7. Noise Level: Consider the noise level of the dehumidifier for home use. Quieter models are available for more sensitive environments.

8. Portability: Look for units with handles and wheels for easy transport. This is especially important if you plan to move the household dehumidifier between different rooms or levels of your home.

9. Controls and Display: Check if the unit has user-friendly controls and a clear display for easy operation and monitoring of settings.
