More Capacity, Lower Operating Cost
An upgrade to the popular AprilAire 1870 series, these dehumidifiers remove more moisture with less energy usage. The greater performance means healthier air for homeowners. Its Energy Factor at AHAM is 2.35 L/kWh, earning it the Energy Star Most Efficient 2024 recognition.
This recognition is for the dehumidifiers with the latest technological innovations and most efficient designs.
Ducting Options
Common installation locations include an equipment room or closet, basements, or attics. Hanging installation is also possible. Two 10-inch duct collars are included for ducting air return and supply, and the supply duct can be installed in one of two locations on the unit for more flexibility in your space.
Features
-
On-Board Humidity Control: Use the buttons to adjust the setting from 40 to 80 percent. Typically, customers set it to 55 percent when first installing it and adjust it based on how they feel.
-
Automatic Sensing: Your dehumidifier will automatically sense the air and compare it to your humidity setting, then adjust its operation as needed.
-
Air Filter: Remove dust and other impurities before air travels through the dehumidifier and back into your space.
-
Auto Defrost Control: In cool conditions, an automatic defroster turns off the compressor and runs the blower until the coils are defrosted to protect the unit from damage.
-
Adjustable Outlet Options: The duct collar is adjustable for top or side discharge applications.
-
Drain Hose Included: Easily drain water to another location with the included 10-foot drain hose and easy attachment.
-
Optional External Controls: Looking for simple wall controls? If your unit is installed in a hard-to-reach location, consider adding the Model 76, 8620, and 8910 wall controllers.
-
Optional Ventilation: Ventilation is an optional, durable installation. If set up, this dehumidifier will ventilate for a certain amount of time per hour. The damper brings in air from outside to distribute fresh air. Adjust how often ventilation occurs on the control panel.
