Arctic Aire Dehumidifier: Arctic Aire ADR30B1G 30 Pint Dehumidifier Overview

This Arctic Aire Dehumidifier is the smallest in the line of highly rated units. They also offer a 50 or 70-pint machine as well. This small dehumidifier is ideal for removing moisture in areas up to 1,500 square feet of space. It is environmentally friendly and is easily adjustable to suit your needs.

Noise Level

When the Arctic Aire is running in the fan mode, it will run at about 52dB to 53dB. This level is comparable to a quiet suburb or conversation at home. Many users have compared it to the level of a small house fan. Because this is the smaller unit, it would be easy to carry on a conversation with this running. It also shouldn’t be too noisy that it would interfere with your sleep.

Extraction

This machine from Danby contains a 30-pint or 14.2-litre capacity. The unit does come with the equipment to use it as a continuous drain machine. This makes it easy to have it run all the time without worrying about emptying the tank.

If you aren’t using the continuous flow setup, you’ll have to empty the tank as it fills. Thankfully, this unit features a safety precaution that turns it off automatically when the tank is full.

The Danby machine has five main components to it: the fan, compressor, compressor cooling coils, reservoir and re-heater. All of these play a vital role in the extraction of moisture from the air. When the moist air passes by the fan it will be pulled into the dehumidifier. From there, it comes in contact with the cooling coils. The coils use condensation to pull the excess moisture from the air.

The moisture is going to remain in the coils and drip into your unit’s reservoir or through the continuous drain setup you installed. Then, the dehumidifier reheats the air and sends it back into your room.

This unit is an Energy Star-compliant machine which not only minimises electricity costs but also helps to reduce your Carbon footprint in the world. It runs on R410A refrigerant with a two-speed fan that efficiently circulates the air.

Control Panel

With the Arctic Aire Dehumidifier, you are going to receive an easy to use electronic control panel with an LED display. The buttons on the top aren’t labeled, but once you learn the functions, they are easy to use.

There are adjustable humidity settings that you can program with little effort. This helps you to set the unit and forget about it. Danby suggests that you set your desired humidity to between 40 and 50 percent. This will keep your house in optimal conditions while also maintaining efficiency. It is also quite simple to set the fan controls between the two available speeds.

There is also a bucket full light indicator on the top of the machine. This tells when you the water needs to be emptied.

Like most dehumidifiers, this machine features a removable filter that is simple to clean. Be sure that you check the filter often to keep it running efficiently. Simply remove the bucket and pull down the tab found in the middle of the unit. This will remove the filter so you can wash it in warm, soapy water. Then, be sure to air dry it completely before placing it back inside the unit.

Other Notable Features

The Danby unit features an automatic-restart component. Because of this, you don’t need to worry about manually starting the machine after a power failure.

The low-temperature feature allows the system to operate even at temperatures as low as 5ºC (41ºF). The auto de-icer helps to prevent any frost build-up from occurring on the coils.

As far as portability goes, this machine gets two thumbs up! It does weigh 30 pounds but comes with four built-in casters so it moves from room to room easily. There is also a complete 24-month warranty for parts and labour which includes carry-in service.

If you need a larger machine for additional extraction, there are two other models available of this machine. The 50 pint until will cover up to 3,000 square feet while the 70 pint unit is perfect for spaces up to 4500 square feet. In addition, the Arctic Aire ADR30B1G 30 Pint Dehumidifier is available in both black and white models to accommodate any décor.

Helpful Tips

When using the Arctic Aire ADR30B1G 30 Pint Dehumidifier, here are some helpful tips for you from Danby:

• Place the unit away from all other furniture or walls. It is best used in a space up to 1,500 square feet.
• Keep the windows and doors to the room closed while you run the Danby Dehumidifier.
• Don’t place your unit near any sources of excess dirt or dust. Prolonged exposure could easily clog your machine and make it less effective.
• While the water inside your Danby Dehumidifier is not suitable for drinking, there are other purposes so you can reuse it. This grey water is perfect for watering houseplants and flowers due to its low salt content in comparison to tap water. Recycle the water and conserve the environment.
