About the Shinco SDO-80P 86-Pint Dehumidifier
The SDO-80P pulls up to 86 pints a day at 90°F and 90% relative humidity, rated for spaces up to 5,000 square feet. Humidity is set from 30 to 80% in 5% steps, so you can hold a basement in the 45 to 55% band and leave it.
Water goes into a 1.06-gallon bucket. The unit shows FL and stops when it is full. Attach the 23.6-inch hose and it drains on its own to a floor drain. Two fan speeds, Auto and Continuous modes and a 24-hour timer are on the panel.
It weighs 35 pounds and measures 13.78 by 10.24 inches at the base and 22 inches tall, with recessed handles and four casters to roll it from the basement to the laundry room.
The SDO-80P 86-Pint Dehumidifier is part of the Shinco range.
