The Comfort-Aire 65 Pint Dehumidifier has been discontinued. We apologize for the inconvenience. We recommend the Sunpentown 65 Pint Dehumidifier as an alternative.
 

Description of Comfort-Aire 65 Pint Low Temperature Dehumidifiers

We have struggled to find a low temperature dehumidifier to our liking that is well-made and reliable with consumer friendly features. Of all the low-end priced dehumidifiers we have tested, the Comfort-Aire® units have proven to be the most reliable. With dehumidification of 65 pints of water removal per day, low temperature operation down to 41°F, EPA energy star efficiency, and accurate digital display of humidity and humidity setting, these BHD-651-G units are a great value for low end dehumidifiers.

Product Usage:
The fan runs continuously on this unit. The compressor only will turn off either when the bucket is full or when the set humidity has been reached. There is a two-fold benefit from the fan always running which is first, the humidistat will detect an increase in humidity gradually due to the constant flow of air from the room which will prevent the compressor from turning on pre-maturely. Second, the fan will both circulate the air throughout the room to enhance the mixing of the humidity in the air and also assist with the drying of any residual moisture inside the unit to prevent bacteria and mold. Finally, the concern over electricity used is minor since the fan running is similar to the wattage from a light bulb and it is the compressor that uses the majority of the electricity.
