Product Overview

The Comfort-Aire BHD-501-D dehumidifier is an outstanding choice if you are looking for a medium-capacity, low-temperature dehumidifier for your home or office. Among many of its merits, this unit functions in temperatures as low as 42º F, and it extracts more than 50 pints of water per day. With features such as automatic overflow shut-off, automatic restart, and easy-to-use digital controls, you can rest assured that the unit is always working effectively. Moreover, the unit's caster wheels, built-in handles, and cord-storage system make setup and occasional adjustment a snap. This is your ideal dehumidifier if you:

  • Want to combat excessive moisture in the air
  • Need to eliminate a musty smell from a room or basement
  • Have a small- to medium-size area that needs to be dehumidified, but is constantly cool.
  • Want a preventative measure in place to avoid mold or mildew problems

The Comfort-Aire 501 50-pint dehumidifier comes with everything you need to start eliminating excess moisture from the air, including:

  • Unit
  • Casters
  • Drainage Hose Adapter
  • Condensation Receptacle
  • Owner’s Manual

Digital Controls

This Comfort Aire dehumidifier features easy-to-use digital controls. These electronic controls are conveniently located on the top of the unit for hassle-free accessibility. You can use them to adjust the dehumidification level to fit your space's needs. The digital display will always show you the ambient humidity level and your desired humidity level, so that you can stay on top of the unit's progress.

Multiple Drainage Options

Collected water that accumulates inside the dehumidifier can either be eliminated manually by emptying the water bucket or automatically through a permanent drainage hose. To empty water manually, simply remove the front-loading water bucket using the carrying handle, empty, and replace. For continuous drainage, attach a drainage hose to the unit using the included adapter. This allows you to drain the collected water into a convenient location, such as a nearby drain. The hose uses the force of gravity to pull the water out of the machine. Therefore, it must be placed in a downward position to work effectively.

Automatic Overflow Protection

A unique feature of the Comfort Aire 501 is its overflow protection control. If the water collection bucket gets full, the dehumidifier will automatically shut off until you can empty it manually. Additionally, three alarm beeps will sound, and the unit will display a "Full" indicator message to alert you of the problem.

Slide-Out Air Filter

The Comfort-Aire BHD-501 features a slide-out air filter to help minimize the amount of airborne debris and pollutants that enter the machine. This filter can be easily removed, cleaned, and reused. There is virtually no need to replace it.

Automatic Restart

Unlike many other dehumidifiers on the market, the 501 will automatically restart after a power failure. This unique feature helps you rest easy, knowing that your dehumidifier will keep running even after a power outage.

We purchased this dehumidifier a few months ago and we are completely satisfied with its performance in our basement where the floor was normally damp and wet.
