DDR3011, DDR6511, DDR4511 specifications

The Danby DDR series includes the DDR4511, DDR6511, and DDR3011 models—three portable dehumidifiers designed to create a comfortable living environment by efficiently removing excess moisture from the air. Each model caters to different space sizes and moisture reduction needs, making them versatile solutions for homes, basements, and offices.

The Danby DDR4511 is suitable for medium-sized spaces, capable of removing up to 45 pints of moisture per day. One of its standout features is the Energy Star certification, which ensures energy-efficient operation. This model also comes equipped with an easy-to-read LED display and an adjustable humidistat that allows users to set their desired humidity level. The auto-restart function is another valuable feature, automatically resuming operation after a power outage, which is essential for maintaining consistent humidity control.

Moving to the Danby DDR6511, this model is designed for larger areas, offering a capacity to extract up to 65 pints of moisture from the air daily. It shares many features with the DDR4511 but includes additional technologies for enhanced performance. The DDR6511 features a built-in pump, allowing for continuous drainage without the hassle of manual tank emptying—a significant advantage for users with larger spaces or those who prefer a low-maintenance option. The dehumidifier also features a quiet operation mode, making it suitable for use in bedrooms or quiet offices.

On the other hand, the Danby DDR3011 is tailored for smaller spaces while still delivering effective moisture removal, with a capacity of up to 30 pints per day. It is particularly advantageous for tight areas, such as laundry rooms and small basements. Like its counterparts, it is Energy Star rated for lower energy consumption. The DDR3011 also includes a convenient auto-restart feature and a defrost function which allows it to operate efficiently even in cooler environments.

All three models feature a removable, easy-to-clean air filter, which helps improve air quality by capturing dust and allergens. Additionally, they are equipped with a sleek design that blends well with various home aesthetics. With user-friendly controls and reliable performance, the Danby DDR4511, DDR6511, and DDR3011 are excellent choices for anyone looking to manage humidity levels effectively in their living spaces.
