How Does This Dehumidifier Work?

Once the unit is started, the surrounding damp air is trapped by the fan through the coil. The excess moisture present in the air is trapped and collected in the water tank which either can be drained using a garden hose or by simply removing the water tank for disposal once it’s full. The adjustable humidistat is used to set the unit to your desired level. The condensed air flows back into your home through the louvers maintaining a high-quality air inside your home or office.

My name is Justin Williams. I am the founder and blogger at TheDehumidifierExperts.com (read more about us). I was an allergy sufferer and that is also the reason why I began my trek to finding the best dehumidifier for my own personal health issues. All of the dehumidifier top picks on the site were put through their paces by Lance Perez - our dehumidifier researcher. He put each one through a series of tests to see how well they performed. Then, our editorial team compiled the insights into articles and published them.
