Sunpentown 30-Pint Dehumidifier (SD-30E)

The Sunpentown SD-30E Dehumidifier with Energy Star is your solution for removing excess moisture from rooms sized up to 200 sq. ft. With a 30-pint removal capacity under AHAM conditions (60% relative humidity at 80°F), programmable humidity settings, and 2 operating speeds – this dehumidifier brings you flexible relief from damp, musty air. Just a flip of a switch lets you restore your indoor humidity to a comfortable and healthy level, no matter what the season.

Controls Humidity, Pests, and Allergies

Did you know that pesky allergens such as dust mites, mold spores, and mildew crave humid environments? Studies have shown that indoor spaces with humidity levels of 50% or higher are breeding grounds for a number of these symptom triggers. Excessively humid environments are also desirable spots for cockroaches, termites, and other annoying pests. Your wood furniture, wood floors, and other moisture-sensitive materials aren't safe either. Too-high humidity can pave the way for wood rot, condensation on windows, and damage to expensive items. Luckily, you can control these adverse effects with the Sunpentown SD-30E Energy Star dehumidifier.

Using the dehumidifier's soft-touch electronic control panel, you can easily adjust your room's humidity level, decreasing it to as low as 35% or increasing it to as high as 80%. To further customize operation, the unit features two separate fan speeds – Normal and Turbo – and a continuous dehumidification setting. Moreover, the unit operates in temperatures ranging from 41°F to 89°F, giving you reliable performance in a number of conditions.

Two Drainage Options

This Sunpentown dehumidifier can be drained in two ways. For manual drainage, simply empty the unit's water collection container when it becomes full and replace. To avoid overflow accidents, the SD-30E is equipped with a full bucket indicator light as well as an automatic shut-off control. The auto shut-off control cuts power to the unit in the event that the water container becomes full, and you are not available to empty it.

The SD-30E dehumidifier also features a continuous drainage port for no-hassle, gravity-guided drainage. To set up, simply connect a drainage hose (not included) to the port and direct the hose downward into a nearby drain. Collected water will continuously flow out of the unit.

Environmentally Friendly This dehumidifier is kinder to the environment in a few ways. First, the unit is Energy Star-rated for efficient operation to help protect the environment and save you money on your energy bill. Energy Star dehumidifiers remove the same amount of moisture as their similar counterparts, but use 10-20% less energy while doing it. This is because these models are built with more efficient refrigeration coils, compressors, and fans.

In addition, the SD-30E uses the CFC-free refrigerant R-134a. CFC refrigerants, or chlorofluorocarbon refrigerants, have been found to cause the depletion of the Earth's ozone layer. They also contribute in large part to the greenhouse effect. With this unit, you will feel comfortable knowing that it is not causing unnecessary harm to the environment.
