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

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.

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.

NO -- not automatically anyway -- I would recommend a timer switch, that you can turn on for 10 to 30 minutes. If the dehumidistat switch is already installed you could add the timer switch in addition to it...

The fan keeps running, otherwise it wouldn't be able to keep an accurate humidity level in the area it is being used. The fan on this model seems to be more quiet than my previous dehumidifier. I hope this helps.

I've been using mine in a 26x12 room which includes the kitchen and dining area,and I find it to be more than adequate. I normally keep it on the "dehumidify" setting unless I've been away from home on a hot day; then I put it on "cool" "high" for a couple of hours to cool down the room. It faces my dining room table which would freeze anyone sitting in front of it, so I taped on a clear plastic, adjustable length, deflector made for heat vents and aimed it at the ceiling. That was a huge improvement. Like every air conditioner I've used, the adjustable louvers on the unit do almost nothing. This unit is surprisingly quiet and I've been very pleased with it.

Hi,what is the lowest setting you can set for this dehumidifier. I like to set mine around 30% or lower - the weather whee i live gets below zero and i get moisture forming on my windows

The unit uses heat to dehumidify. On a summer day it can heat up a small room pretty good. How far below freezing? I should work when the temps are in the high 20s F. The owner's manual gives a working range of 41.5ºF to 104ºF. Perhaps because once the water is removed from the air, it could freeze in the tank. Just speculating. Not a complete answer because I don't use it in an unheated space, but hope it helps.

We are snowbirds and spend the summers up North. I have the timer set for twice a day to turn on a dehumidifier. We have used it for two years and not a minutes trouble. I definitely would recommend it.l

I don't have a dehumidifier but I have it set to kick on my HRV for humidity removal. It should also work for the AC as long as your furnace allows the hookup, since it does sense humidity.

Are you sure the unit is set on "cool" and not just "fan"? I have done that before. Otherwise it must not be working right. We have our unit in a second house which I know dates back to about 1900, so it is not well insulated nor does it have energy efficient windows. The downstairs is 30' by 25', with four rooms that are all connected, so you can make a circle through the rooms. We have the unit in one room and a large fan in the opposite corner of the house to keep the air moving. We were just there and for 2 days with temps in the high 80's the EdgeStar kept the downstairs at 69-70 degrees. Are you sure the unit is set on "cool" and not just "fan"? I have done that before.

All dehumidifiers will heat up the air, it's a fundamental physics bit about how they work. The measurement can be effectively correlated by the efficiency of the unit, and as such this one is pretty good according to consumer reports. I don't have a second model to compare this to, but can say it's heating up the air ~15 F roughly. I'm using it in a 500 sq ft apartment, and if left on all day it will raise the apartment ~5 degrees. It also dropped the humidity of the apartment from 70% to 35% overnight, so no complaints. And it's more quiet than the AC, which I now can use less often.

in my experience I haven't left it for more than 10hrs but for the 10hrs I left it was pretty stable sticking to the temperature. I see no reason why not for 24.

Haven't got a clue Todd, never happened to me. Mine has worked flawlessly other that I have to set the temperature to about 72 to get my desired room temperature of 68 degrees.

I use in Yuma in a fairly large room works fairly well if you live in a place w/no humidity would prob. get one with a humidifier if not this should work fine have had no problems w/the unit

Absolutely not as long as the rooms are connected. The air that is dehumidified will act as a sponge and draw in the moist humid air from the adjacent rooms. They do sell a duct kit which serves as a way for you to operate the dehumidifier in an area outside of your living space for aestethic purposes. If you have a finished basement with a utility area, you can mount the dehumidifier behind the wall and duct it in to the living space. I have done that very thing myself and it is a fantastic way to permanently install the unit. When deciding on placement keep in consideration that the dehumidifier must drain into either a sump pit or a condensation pump close to your central air system.

I just checked my Dehumidifier unit and the Fan does shut off when the humidity is reached. My unit is running very well. I had two 40 Pint units and replaced them with one 30 pint unit in just the one room in the basement and it is easily maintaining the humidity level around 40 - 45%. Another point I will mention is that I received 2 checks today for the units that were recalled due to overheating. My 2 units did not overheat, but I guess it might have happened eventually. They were a few years old.

If you are in air conditioned room, and humidity not to high, not a problem. I have not had any problems under these conditions.
