What's In The Box?

  • Danby DDR050BJWDB-ME
  • Owner's Manual 

Description

Keep large residential spaces up to 1,200 square feet free of moisture issues with the Danby DDR050BJWDB-ME.

 

This Danby Energy Star dehumidifier protects against humidity problems and mold by removing 50 pints of moisture per day (equivalent to 70 pints at the old testing standards).

Energy Star Most Efficient Rated

An extension of the Energy Star program, the Most Efficient rating recognizes products that deliver cutting edge energy efficiency and the latest technological innovation. The Danby DDR05DJWDB-ME 50-pint dehumidifier carries this rating.

Complete Comfort with Smart Dehumidify Mode 

Take the thought out of removing moisture by using Smart Dehumidifier Mode. This mode creates the ultimate in room comfort because it senses your room temperature and humidity level, then automatically adjusts based on your room's conditions.

Most dehumidifiers only take humidity into consideration. The Smart Dehumidify function is perfect for worry-free and complete comfort. 

Top Danby DDR050BJWDB Features

  • Energy Star Savings: This trusted dehumidifier earned the Energy Star seal for money- and energy-saving design and features. 
  • Upgraded On and Off Timer: An upgraded timer allows for setting your dehumidifier to turn on and then also turn off up to 24 hours in advance. Most timers simply turn the unit off after a certain amount of time. Set true start and stop times with this model. 
  • Precise Humidity Control: If you don’t want to use Smart Mode, simply set your desired indoor humidity level between 35% - 80% relative humidity. This Danby dehumidifier will work to maintain it.

Multiple Draining Options

The direct drain feature allows for continuous draining with a garden hose (not included). A full bucket indicator also notifies you when the bucket is full if you use manual draining. 

Looking for the most convenient draining? Add an external condensate pump to push water up and out of the area and into a sink or other location. 

NOTE: For this unit to continuously drain moisture, a 5/16-inch garden hose and 1-inch female threaded connector are required. Manufacturers state the garden hose attached to this dehumidifier should be no longer than 6 feet, or the unit may not drain properly. 

Additional Features

  • Humidity Display: Indicates your room’s current ambient humidity on top of the unit.
  • Full Bucket Indicator: When the water collection tank is full, an indicator light will illuminate and the compressor and fan will turn off.
  • Multiple Fan Speeds: For quick dehumidifying, the fan speed can be adjusted from low to high.
  • Automatic Restart: If a power outage occurs the unit will resume operations in its previous settings.
  • Washable Air Filter: Its reusable washable air filter will need to be periodically cleaned and an indicator light will let you know when it’s time.
  • Casters: Four wheels allow for easy transport from room to room as needed.
  • Automatic Defrost: Should the ambient temperature drop below 41 degrees F, the defrost indicator light will come and the unit will stop dehumidifying until frost has melted.
  • Compact Design: Place this dehumidifier just about anywhere because of its compact design: 16.14 x 11.81 x 24.25 inches (W x D x H). 
  • Precise Humidity Control: You can simply set your desired indoor humidity level between 35% - 80% relative humidity. This Danby dehumidifier will work to maintain it. 

Summary

Designed for larger residential spaces up to 1200 sq. ft., you can select the model with the condensate pump, or without it. Energy Star rated, it features an on/off timer, on-board humidistat, and auto-restart.

Reviews Summary
Customers say this dehumidifier operates quietly and effectively in basements and living spaces. Many reviews mention its ability to maintain desired humidity levels consistently. The unit draws significant moisture, with users noting daily tank fills. While most praise its quiet operation, some find the water bucket slightly cumbersome to handle. Common feedback includes appreciation for the auto-shutoff feature and easy setup process. Reviews frequently highlight its reliability, with several mentioning previous units lasting 5-8 years or more. The fan operation and humidity controls receive positive mentions, though a few note the continuous fan mode can be bothersome.

    Works OK but short cycles unless set to continuous mode

    Seems to work OK save for short cycling. It stops and starts too much suggesting a short life span to me. You can run it in continuous mode but that seems inefficient. We'll see. A plastic thing you stick in the back still mystifies me as to its purpose.

    I use this product in the downstairs bedroom that was beginning to smell musty. It's been raining a lot this winter, and this product pulls a lot of moisture from the air effectively. It's more comfortable now and the smell has gone!
