Daitsu ADD12 Dehumidifier

The strength of Daitsu Dehumidifiers lies in the quietness of operation largely due to the Rotary Compressor fitted. Rotary Compressors are generally found on more expensive dehumidifiers so it was a welcome surprise to find this type of compressor had been fitted to the Daitsu Dehumidifier range, unlike the vast majority of dehumidifiers that are fitted with Reciprocating Compressors that are old style compressors that for decades have been fitted to our refrigerators or very old air conditioners. The major benefits of a Rotary Compressor are reduced noise levels and more efficiency.

In addition, these Daitsu Dehumidifiers are fitted with a Centrifugal fan with forward curved blades. This fan design again contributes to low noise levels and high efficiency. Regardless of fan speed selected, the sound levels are non-intrusive though the airflow rate is very impressive. The ADD12 has a maximum airflow rate of 130m3/h and the ADD20 has a maximum airflow rate of 150m3/h that is very useful when it comes to drying laundry. In fact these machines actually have a laundry drying setting that raises the fan speed of the machine and over-rides the internal Humidistat.
