Product Overview

Humid air can cause room stuffiness, leave a musty smell in the air, contribute to structural damage, and if left untreated, promote mold and mildew. Avoid these issues with the Winix DHD501 Dehumidifier, which provides coverage for humid areas as large as 1,000 square feet. This compact dehumidifier removes up to 50 pints of moisture over 24 hours and is perfect for basements, kitchens, laundry rooms, and other residential areas.

As an Energy Star-qualified model, the Winix DHD501 uses 15% less energy to dehumidify similar-sized spaces than conventional models. It also offers multiple modes, automatic features, and a built-in water pump that make it an easy choice for many customers.

Multiple Operating Modes

The Winix 50 Pint Dehumidifier contains several operating modes for maximum comfort:

  • Humidity Mode: It’s easy to set your ideal humidity level in this mode; simply press a button on the control panel to adjust the percentage. You can set the humidity level from 35-70% in increments of 5.
     
  • Continuous Mode: The fan and compressor run nonstop until you adjust the setting or the power is turned off.
     
  • Auto Mode: The fan speed is automatically adjusted to maintain a 50% humidity level—the EPA-recommended level for residential spaces.

Additionally, a cycle run timer lets you operate this dehumidifier in programmed cycles of 3, 6, or 12 hours. The dehumidifier will maintain the last humidity level programmed for the set amount of time.

Various Water Drainage Methods

The Winix DHD501 Dehumidifier offers 3 water removal methods. Manually drain the dehumidifier when the water bucket is full by using easy-grip handles to empty the water container. As a second option, the unit features a no-leak gravity drain hose attachment. This allows you to attach a garden hose (not included) to direct the water into a nearby drain or to an outside location using gravity.

A built-in condensate pump is the third option and automatically empties water into a location you choose. The drainage pump can lift water up to 15 feet above the dehumidifier into a sink, outside through a window, in a floor drain, or to a separate water container. An 18-foot drain hose for use with the internal condensate pump comes with the dehumidifier.

Automatic Features

  • Auto Shut Off: The DHD501 automatically shuts down when the water bucket is full. Operation resumes once the bucket is emptied or placed in the proper position.
     
  • Auto Defrost: This unit is equipped with built-in defrost protection that senses frost buildup and turns the compressor off until the fan melts the frost off the coils. This feature is important since the DHD501 operates in temperatures as low as 36 degrees F.
     
  • Auto Restart: This function automatically restarts the dehumidifier and resumes operation in the last programmed setting after a power failure or outage.

Additional Features

  • Antimicrobial Technology: The collection bucket is protected with a Microban finish that prevents illness- and odor-causing bacteria build-up and reduces your exposure to germs.
     
  • Electronic Control Panel: A digital display and soft-touch buttons are located on the top of the dehumidifier for easy accessibility and straightforward operation.
     
  • Washable Air Filter: A flexible air inlet filter maintains durability and continues removing particle impurities even after frequent cleanings.
     
  • Two Dehumidifying Speeds: Choose from low and high fan speeds.
     
  • Bucket-Full Indicator: Located on the electronic control panel, this light illuminates to notify you when the water collection container is full.
     
  • Easily Transportable: Built-in handles and rolling casters make it a breeze to move the Winix DHD501 Dehumidifier from room to room.
     
  • Compact Design: This sleek and modern residential dehumidifier fits in virtually any space.
     
  • Low Maintenance: Routine upkeep of this residential dehumidifier is minimal. Just dust the front air grilles, wash the air filter, and clean inside of the water bucket periodically.
     
  • AHAM-Certified Operation: This Winix dehumidifier's capacity has been tested and certified by the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers. It removes 50 pints of moisture per 24 hours under the conditions of 80 degrees Fahrenheit and 60% relative humidity.

Summary

The Winix DHD501 Dehumidifier with Built-in Pump is compact and packed with various features, modes, and drainage options to keep your indoor environment full of crisp, healthy air.

What Customers Love

  • Set It and Forget It: This unit lets you program a cycle, automatically shuts off when needed, and allows for automatic drainage, meaning you never have to worry about it.
  • Energy Star-qualified: This model is more energy-efficient than comparable models and was given this seal to prove it.

Comments about Winix 50 Pint Dehumidifier with Built-In Pump (DHD501):

The Winix DHD501 is meeting my expectatons as far as how it performs; understanding I've had the unit for a few weeks and the basement is not a finished basement or contstanly used. It auto shuts down when it reaches the suggested humidity level. Its not extremely quiet or loud. Have not used the pump yet, want to see what kind of impact it would have on the electrical bill; so cannot speak on energy efficiency. I like that the unit is slim and impressive looking too.
My two complaints about this unit: 1) the long hose provided is narrow and not a true hose (it's plastic so I hope its durable), but it does the job (so far). A former unit actually had a hose to attach. Would have preferred a thicker hose. 2) when placing the bucket back ino the unit, the guiders are not cooperative.. takes a few tries to get into place (not a con for me since I will be using the hose.
