EUHOMY DH-60 130-Pint Dehumidifier: features, specs and who it suits

The EUHOMY DH-60 is a large dehumidifier designed for big, damp spaces such as basements, crawl spaces, warehouses and storage rooms. EUHOMY rates it at up to 130 pints of moisture removal per day and a coverage area of up to 5,500 square feet. It includes a drain hose so it can run for long periods without emptying a bucket.

What 130 pints a day means

Dehumidifier capacity is the amount of water it can remove from the air in 24 hours, in pints. EUHOMY states the 130-pint figure at saturation conditions of 90°F and 90% humidity. Figures quoted in harsh conditions like these are typically higher than what you would get in an ordinary cool room, so treat the number as a ceiling rather than a typical day's output. Larger numbers generally suit larger or wetter spaces.

Airflow

The listing gives a high airflow of 210 CFM. Airflow shows how quickly the unit can pull room air across its coil, which matters in big open areas.

Three working modes

• Automatic mode: you set the target humidity between 20% and 90%, and the unit cycles to hold it.
• Continuous mode: it runs all the time.
• Sleep mode: the screen goes dark after ten seconds without input and lights up again when touched.

A timer for switching on and off, and an automatic defrost function, are also listed. Defrost matters because coils can ice up in cooler rooms, which stops a dehumidifier removing moisture until the ice melts.

Draining options

Two methods are listed. With gravity drainage, the hose runs to a drain that sits lower than the unit's outlet. With pump drainage, the hose connects to an external pump, which lets water be lifted or moved further. The package does not include the pump, so you would need to supply one.

Filter care

EUHOMY recommends cleaning the filter once every one to two weeks, noting that a blocked filter reduces dehumidifying efficiency. Disconnect the power before cleaning, as the listing notes.

Size and placement

The unit measures 15.2 x 20.8 x 13.9 inches. Leave space around the air inlet and outlet, keep it on a level surface and follow the manual on placement.

Who it suits

It suits owners of large basements, crawl spaces, workshops or storage areas that stay humid and need continuous removal of moisture through a drain.

What to check before you buy

• Space: compare your room's size with the stated coverage, and remember that the figure applies to specific conditions.
• Drain route: check whether a floor drain sits below the unit or whether you'll need a pump.
• Power: check the electrical requirements in the manual and the outlet you will use.
• Noise: large dehumidifiers can be loud, so consider where it will run.
• Upkeep: plan for regular filter cleaning.
• Temperature: check the operating range in the manual for cold spaces.

The short version

• A large dehumidifier rated at up to 130 pints a day (at 90°F, 90% humidity).
• Listed coverage of up to 5,500 sq ft and 210 CFM airflow.
• Automatic, continuous and sleep modes, with 20% to 90% humidity control.
• Timer, automatic defrost and a drain hose; the pump is not included.
• Filter cleaning is advised every one to two weeks.
