Product Overview

Energy efficient yet powerful, the Whynter RPD-401W Dehumidifier combines the best of both worlds, protecting your space from damaging humidity while keeping energy consumption low. This 40-pint dehumidifier is best for controlling humidity in smaller spaces around your home, from your bedroom to areas in your basement. Full-featured, the Whynter RPD-401W includes easy electronic controls, an automatic adjustable humidistat, 2 drainage options, 2 fan speeds, a 24-hour timer, smooth-rolling casters, and more.

No-Hassle Humidity Control

The Whynter 40-Pint Dehumidifier is equipped with an automatic adjustable humidistat for low-hassle "set it and forget it" operation. Simply set your desired humidity level—we recommend setting it between 45 and 50% for ideal indoor comfort—and the dehumidifier will automatically maintain that level. During operation, the compressor cycles on and off while the fan runs continuously to evenly distribute dehumidified air throughout your space.  The RPD-401W can also be set to dehumidify continuously to eliminate high humidity around the clock.

Super-Efficient Moisture Removal

Energy Star-compliant, the Whynter RPD-401W uses 15% less energy to remove the same amount of moisture as conventional non-Energy Star dehumidifiers. It's also built with a more efficient compressor, fan, and refrigeration coil to make low-energy dehumidifying possible. Features such as a 24-hour timer and an automatic humidistat with auto shutoff help you conserve energy further and keep your energy costs down.

Additional Features

  • 2 Drainage Options - Empty the dehumidifier manually by removing the water bucket and emptying condensate or set up continuous gravity drainage using the included drain hose.

  • Electronic Control Panel - Displays both your set humidity and ambient room humidity. Easy pushbutton controls and clear indicator lights help you stay on top of operation.

  • Bucket-Full Indicator - When the water bucket is full, an audible alert sounds and the tank-full indicator light illuminates to let you know it's time to empty.

  • Auto Defrost - The Whynter 40-Pint Dehumidifier operates in temperatures as low as 41 degrees F. Should frost form inside the unit, an automatic defrost system melts it quickly so the unit can resume normal operation.

  • Auto Restart - In the event of a power failure, the dehumidifier restarts automatically using the previously programmed settings when power returns.

  • Air Filtration - A washable pre-filter and an antibacterial silver ion filter lightly clean the air, trapping dust and large particles and neutralizing airborne bacteria.

  • Quiet Operation - At its highest speed, the RPD-401W exerts 54 decibels, which is no louder than a quiet conversation.

  • Carrying Handle and Casters - A recessed carrying handle and smooth-rolling casters make it easy to move this unit from spot to spot.

Summary

The Whynter RPD-401W Dehumidifier eliminates damaging humidity in smaller rooms and spaces easily and efficiently.

What Customers Love

  • 24-Hour Timer - The timer lets you program both start and shutoff times unlike conventional home dehumidifiers that feature shutoff timers only.

Things to Consider

  • Room Size - This Whynter model is best for solving light to moderate humidity problems in small- to medium-sized rooms.

    Frequently Asked Questions
    What is the ideal humidity level this unit should maintain?
    We recommend you maintain a humidity level of between 45 and 50 percent. Too much humidity creates an ideal environment for mold, dust mites, bacteria, and pests to thrive. Too little humidity can be just as damaging by causing health issues such as an increase in colds and the flu and irritated skin and respiratory passages. Low humidity can also contribute to cracked ceilings, separated wood floors, damage to furniture, and more. Learn more about this in our article Dehumidifiers: Frequently Asked Questions.
    Should a dehumidifier be setup as close to floor level as possible or will they work the same if raised a few feet up off the ground?
    Dehumidifiers can be either situated on a floor level or raised without affecting operation. When raised a few feet, the dehumidifier will benefit from improved gravity drainage.
