Good morning, I wonder if the dehumidifier can work properly in a room whose temperature is 60 ° C for 24 hours. Thanks in advance for your reply.

Hi Andres, I really don't know the answer to your question. It is my understanding that this is a humidifier. I got it to add moisture to the air. I don't think that temperature impacts that, although the amount of moisture already in the air might impact it. When I turn it on, I can see that it is putting out moist air and it runs until it runs out of water or until I cut it off. In times of dryness I have to fill it in the morning and then again at bedtime (twice a day)

I think you mean 60 F? Not C? I don't think it will last for 24 hours without a refill. Barely lasted an 8 hour night on a full tank.

Yes, 60C is the equivalent to 140F. No, it will not last 24Hr on a single fill.

I saw the other reply, which is consistent with what I remember. The dehumidifier lasted me for most of two seasons, after which the compressor ceased to produce any results, although it ran. It probably leaked all the refrigerant, and there is no practical way to recharge it. From what I have read, 2 years, sadly, is about all one can expect from these devices. By the way, I am trying a Frigidaire this time; I bought it four and half months ago, and it is still working; only time will tell if it has any more endurance than the Sunpentown; the features are nearly identical.

I use it in a barrel room (wine) that is kept at 60-65 degrees and 70% humidity and it has worked well for a year now.I agree with TSpreitzer about indoor use. It certainly cannot be trusted if exposed to rain and snow. I would also consider replacing the outdoor 110v outlet you will plug this into with a GFCI outlet.

It doesn't go by temp. It goes by how much humidity you have in your house. The dehumidifier will run down to temps of 45 degrees. Humidity in a house should be between 30 - 50. Set the humidity gauge on your dehumidifier to the amount of humidity you want in your house. I set mind at 40 and according to a separate temp/humidity gauge it is usually about 37.

The dehumidifier is rated at 700 watts, and all the energy that it uses is eventually turned into heat and is then dissipated in the room. I use mine in a large basement room, and heating is a non-issue. I think that the only way to dehumidify without heating is to use an AC, which is designed to expel the heat outside the house.

It's been working well for me running 24/7. It throws some heat but it's only around 75 degree's, maybe 80 at the maximum. I run an A/C in the same room so it's no problem for me. I'm very satisfied with it, just a word of caution though if you don't want to run it 24 hours a day, then you may want to run it on a timer, it's built in timer function doesn't seem to be well thought out. Hope this helps.

We've had ours for a few weeks, the best it's done is 36%, but it's really dry here and the temp has hovered between -5 and 20 degrees. Without this humidifier we were only between 12 and 18%, so it's a big improvement! We don't run it on high though,, go between med and low.

Mine has run at 60 degrees F with no problems. At temperatures below 64 it will go into periodic defrost mode which will prevent freeze-up. The operator's manual states that the unit will operate in temps down to 41 F. The manual says if the room temp remains below 41 F, the machine should be switched off.

Minimum temperature for heat? I use this in home office in 1 walled off bay in un-insulated 3 car Garage. Tonight it was 52 degrees F when I turned it on and after about 45 minutes its 64. I don't see why it'd have a minimum but may not want to try below 32? Read the manual? Might be specified... Extended warranties: Dunno....in general I never use them but have recently started for my kids cell phones but nothing else. This might be a good candidate though ...it works great after a few years but if something breaks its probably not repairable...(spare parts from China??? no Maytag repairmen on this thing???)

This is a brand manufactured by Danby. According to the specifications on Danby.com this model has a low temperature feature and "continues to operate until temperature reaches 44F (6.6C)". I personally have not had my dehumidifier operate below 54F so far.

I was passing through this page, but saw a number of misinformed comments, so here's my input: Evaporative coolers require a low-humidity environment (less than 50% relative humidity) to be effective. So places like Phoenix or Las Vegas are great for this. Places like Florida are not for high-humidity, hot days. Also, it will take upto 5 minutes to begin cooling when started the first time or after a day or so. Third, will work effectively only if air can escape from the room (in this it works the opposite of air-conditioner). If put in a closed room, soon the room will become very humid and eventually uncomfortable. Finally, you don't need to add cool water or ice, people! It just doesn't matter and is a waste of effort and energy. Net-net, in dry, hot climates, this is awesome device that provides cheap cooling, filters air, and humidification. The manufacturer/dealer should really be posting this information and educating actively about using this product effectively.

the unit has a heat source so it doesn't seem to matter the temp of the room (above freezing). I have it in my garage and it is often in the 40 degree range. The unit does put out heat when operating (when removing humidity--if humidity is at or lower than your setting the heat turns off but fan continues to operate). You should be fine. I love this thing. I moved from Eastern WA where humidity is hardly ever above 50%, to Western Wa where it is in the 80-99% most of the time. I am allergic to mildew/molds etc and this unit keeps my home dry and no musty scents. I was prepared to purchase a second one for the upstairs but this dandy unit keeps both floors perfect.

Don't know - worth a shot fot the price - but if your fridge is building up humidity and you're seeing dampness, probably the seal is worn out and letting in warm air that condenses - probably using way more electricity than it should, was well. If that's the case, I doubt any dehumidifier this small would be really effective. Hope this helps...................

I can only tell you that it has been over 90 degrees in my house in the summer and it works fine. I don't have air conditioning in my house. But I don't know if it would work well for long periods in extremely hot conditions. All fridges work hard when it's hot. I don't think this one would be any different.

This dependes on whether it is an enclosed space and the ambient temperature around the space. If you have an enclosed area with household temp. around of about 65 F I would think this would work just fine. But there is not a thermostatic control to prevent it from going over that temperature.

I've had no problems with my dehumidifier running in the basement. When it gets really cold (like below freezing), my basement doesn't get much moisture, so the unit doesn't run as often, though it's still on. But the dehumidifier has definitely still worked at lower (and all other) temperatures for me.
