The Winix WDH 871 Dehumidifier is a household appliance designed to remove excess moisture from the air, helping to prevent moisture damage and create a more comfortable indoor environment. It is suitable for use in various areas such as basements, kitchens, laundry rooms, bathrooms, spa/exercise areas, and spaces where books or valuables are stored. It can also be used during construction or remodeling to reduce drying time for drywall and paint.
The dehumidifier operates by drawing in moist air, passing it over a cooling coil where moisture condenses, and then releasing drier air back into the room. The collected water is stored in a removable bucket or can be continuously drained using a hose. The device features a built-in defrost control to prevent frost buildup on the evaporator coils, automatically turning off the compressor while the fan continues to run during defrosting. It also includes an automatic shutoff feature that activates when the bucket is full or not properly positioned, or when the desired humidity setting has been reached.
The dehumidifier offers multiple operating modes and water disposal options:
Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance and longevity of the dehumidifier.
