Reverse the damaging effects of high humidity and maintain a more comfortable indoor environment with the Danby Premiere DDR7009REE Dehumidifier. This residential dehumidifier removes up to 70 pints of moisture per day from areas as large as 3,800 square feet. Particularly effective in medium to large-sized basements, the system removes excess moisture, thereby preventing mold and mildew growth and protecting your home or workplace infrastructure from moisture damage. In addition, this Danby dehumidifier eliminates the uncomfortable "clammy" feeling caused by overly humid air.

Danby DDR7009REE Healthy Basement Package - A Sylvane Exclusive!

As an option, purchase the Danby DDR7009REE Healthy Basement Package, a Sylvane exclusive, to get everything you need to keep your basement dry and prevent moisture and humidity problems. The Danby DDR7009REE Healthy Basement Package includes the following accessories along with the Danby 70-Pint DDR7009REE Dehumidifier:

  • Hartell Condensate Pump
    • This external condensate pump allows you to pump collected water across longer distances or upward directly into a drain or sink, eliminating the need to empty the bucket.
    • Provides up to a 15 feet of vertical lift.
    • Includes 20 feet of flexible plastic drain tubing to suit multiple drainage applications.

  • Acu-Rite Remote Thermometer and Humidity Sensor
    • This thermometer/humidity sensor combo package allows you to place a remote sensor in your basement that allows you to monitor the humidity level from upstairs or any convenient location.
    • The thermometer is compatible with up to 3 remote sensors, which makes it perfect for monitoring multiple areas from one central location. One basement sensor is included. Additional remote humidity sensors can be purchased separately.
    • Thermometer/sensor package features min/max memory of temperature and humidity in each area as well as atomic clock and moon phase display.

Multiple Drainage Methods

The Danby DDR7009REE Dehumidifier features two drainage options for collected moisture. The first option allows you to manually drain the system by emptying the water collection bucket on the front of the dehumidifier. As a second method, you can gravity drain the moisture and deposit it into a nearby drain using the included drain hose and the drain port on the back of the system. As a third option, you can set up the Danby DDR7009REE to pump collected moisture to another location or even upward through a window by using the condensate pump accessory (sold separately).

Automatic Humidity Adjustment

Maintaining your ideal humidity level is easier than ever with this Danby 70-Pint Dehumidifier. To set the humidity, simply toggle the up/down arrow buttons on the system's electronic control panel to your desired percentage. The dehumidifier allows you to adjust humidity from 30% to 90% in 5% increments. Once the humidity level is defined, the unit's compressor cycles on and off to maintain the setting automatically. The control panel always displays the ambient humidity level and temperature to help you stay on top of operation. Additionally, you can program operation using the 24-hour timer.

Environmentally Friendly Operation

Along with maintaining a comfortable humidity level in your indoor environment, this Danby dehumidifier helps protect the outdoor environment. As an updated feature, the DDR7009REE dehumidifier uses R-410A refrigerant, an efficient and eco-friendly refrigerant that will not contribute to ozone depletion. The Danby Premiere DDR7009REE Dehumidifier is also Energy Star-rated. This means the system uses 10 to 20% less energy than conventional non-Energy Star models to remove the same amount of moisture. Energy Star dehumidifiers also have more efficient coils, compressors, and fans—all of which contribute to long-term energy- and cost-savings. Other features such as automatic sensing humidity control, a 24-hour programmable timer, and dual fan speeds help the system conserve energy further while still providing powerful dehumidification.

Additional Features

The Danby DDR7009REE Dehumidifier also features:

  • Low Temperature Operation – For ultra reliability, this Danby dehumidifier operates in temperatures as low as 41 degrees.

  • Auto Defrost System – In the event that ice builds up on the evaporator coils (usually in temperatures below 64 degrees F), the automatic defrost system begins defrosting the coils in order to resume unit operation.

  • Auto Restart On Power Failure – In the event of a power failure, the dehumidifier will resume operation automatically and revert to factory default settings of 60% humidity on low.

  • Electronic Controls – Soft-touch electronic controls are intuitive and easy to use.

  • LED Display – Throughout operation, the dehumidifier displays the ambient temperature and humidity level clearly on an LED display. Temperature can be displayed in Celsius or Fahrenheit.

  • Full Bucket Indicator – When the water bucket fills up during manual drainage, an indicator light illuminates red to let you know it's time to empty. The dehumidifier will not resume operation until the bucket is emptied. This indicator light will also illuminate in the event of an improperly positioned water tank.

  • Delayed Startup Protection – The compressor is equipped with an automatic time delayed start system to prevent overheating and circuit breaker tripping if the appliance is turned on and off quickly.

  • Washable Air Filter – A washable air filter helps remove allergens and other particles from incoming air and helps produce cleaner dehumidified air.

  • Remote Control – A convenient remote control allows you to control dehumidifier operation from as far as 16 feet away from the receiver, which is located on the front of the DDR7009REE system.

  • Easy-Roll Casters – Smooth-rolling wheels allow you to move the unit effortlessly from space to space.

  • Quiet Operation – On its highest fan speed, the DDR7009REE exerts 55 decibels of sound. This sound is equivalent to that of a quiet conversation from a few feet away.

  • Recycled Packaging – The DDR7009REE is packaged in a recycled carton to help minimize environmental waste.

We purchased this dehumidifier for use in our unfinished basement. The basement had developed a strong musty smell even though we had never had any water on the floor or walls. At first, we manually emptied the tank because we wanted to see how much water it was removing. The first day it removed almost two tanks of water out of the air, resulting in a significant reduction of the musty smell. By the end of the next day, the musty smell was completely gone.

Over the next couple of weeks, we would empty the tank each morning and evening and each time the tank would be between 1/3 to 1/2 full. We eventually hooked the hose up and ran it into the sump pump and it has continued to keep the humidity between 36 and 42 percent. We've been using it for about 1 1/2 months now and it has continued to work like a charm, it has kept our basement odor free and dry and it is easy to operate.

We were also very pleased with Sylvane. We placed the order at around 11:30pm on October 18th and the dehumidifier was delivered on October 20th - you can't get much better than that!

I got rave reviews on this product from my in-laws. While it is doing the job, i wonder if there's a better product. Ultimately, the test comes in durability. I won't be able to properly give a true review for another 2-5 years. If it's still working then, it's a 5 star. For now, it's a 3 star.

The dehumidifier works fine in pulling moisture from my basement, creating a dry 50% humidity environment, except that the tempurature in the basement seems to be increased significantly. I can't tell you how much, but it is now hot in my basement. Logically, I wouldn't expect this as a lower humidity should result in a cooler air feel but i think the unit throws off so much heat that it warms my whole basement, which i would estimate at 600 sq ft.

Also, I dump the water as it fills the chamber in the unit. I wish these were designed better. This unit does not pour out well. It spills every time I empty it. There's no good way to pour out the water. I don't think this was designed for or at least it wasn't designed well.

    Comments about Danby DDR7009REE Dehumidifier:

    When I first received this product my husband wanted to send it back because it was too big. I refused to send it back and talked him into keeping it. I am so happy I did, this machine picks up alot of water. We recently moved to the beach and I encountered something I never did before...humidity. This machine sucks the water right up. The only downfall is that it's loud, best to turn it on when your not home and I wish there was a way you can add some kind of frangrance into the machine.

      Product works great. Highly recommend. We use the drain hose into sump pump now. It's pulls the water out of the air so well the bucket fills up in just over 1/2 a day. I'd buy another.

        Very effective and relatively quiet. I don't particulary care for the constant fan operation but the timer helps control operation during periods of unneeded usage. I like the digital settings. Overall, a welcome improvement over my old machine.

                Comments about Danby DDR7009REE Dehumidifier:

                Excellent value--really sucks the moisture out. One pro/con is that the fan runs continuously. It certainly helps keep the moisture down, but tends to be a bit noisy. We have the drain hose right into the sump, so I haven't had to touch the unit since I plugged it in. It even comes with a remote control to adjust the humidity level, but I never use it.
