Design And Usability
Boring but highly functional design. Ivation 35 Pint (50 Pint 2019 DOE) refrigerant dehumidifier is only slightly bigger than its counterpart at a 14.2 inches width, 23.2 inches height, and 9.9 inches in depth. You can use it comfortably in tight spaces as long as there are few feet of gaps between the wall. Weight is not bad either at 8.4 lb before any water collection. No issue moving it around with the grippy side handles and easy-roll caster wheels. you can easily slide it across the room for multi-location dehumidification.
Continue with the design, Ivation IVALDH50PW front water tank can be removed effortlessly thanks to the sliding mechanism and built-in carrying handle. Adding to that is an inner cover that prevents water spillage during emptying. The 1.3-gallon size is the perfect distribution between weight and water emptying frequency. You only need to empty it every 1-3 days depending on the room’s relative humidity level. No guessing is needed as you can peek through the transparent water level indicator to check the collected water level.
Usability is one of Ivation 35 Pint IVALDH50PW key highlights. There are the standard dual drainage modes with an optional hose hook up for continuous mode. Once you manage to securely connect it to the garden hose, water will be pump out straight to a floor drain or slop sink. This will save you a lot of time by not having to empty the collected water.
Controls are dead easy to use with dedicated buttons and a center LCD display with a built-in humidistat. You can adjust the 2 fan speeds, set a desire humidity level, and let Ivation 35 Pint automatic manage the moisture level. There is also a 24-hour timer and clean-filter alert reminding you to clean the filter.
Safety features wise, everything a refrigerant dehumidifier should have, you will find it here. When the water level is full, auto-shutoff will kick in to shut down the dehumidifier. Auto-defrost automatically stops the operation to prevent evaporator coils from icing up in cold weather. Auto-restart with smart technology reboot Ivation automatically after a power outage. Lastly, a basic 1-year warranty from Ivation covers non-wearable defects including the compressor and motor.
Dehumidification Technology
No more dealing with the constant threat of airborne mold and mildew. Ivation effectively drains up to 50 pints of moisture per day according to the 2012 United States Department of Energy (DOE) or 35 pints of moisture with the latest 2019 DOE standard. At turbo speed, it can cover up to 3,000 square feet of room space. Ideal for master bedroom, living room, laundry room, basement, dry bathroom, garage, kitchen, and office.
Ivation 35-Pint (50-Pint 2012 DOE) dehumidifier is capable of decreasing relative humidity levels in a damp environment. Through refrigeration technology, damp air is drawn into the air inlet and will have to go through the permanent air filter. The filter will trap large particles like dust, hair, lint, and pet dander leaving only clean air into the coils. The air will be condensed via the evaporator coils and moisture will be extracted out as water droplets. The droplets will drip down to a bucket or pump straight to a floor drain if continuous drainage mode is selected. The dehumidification will stop when the set humidity goal is reached.
Ivation IVALDH50PW 35-Pint (50-Pint 2012 DOE) dehumidifier noise can be silent when running at a low speed. Ideal for bedtime use for those that need absolute serenity. If you need quick dehumidification and don't mind the whirring fan noise, set it at max speed with a timer when you're off to work. Power consumption is good given Ivation IVALDH50PW is an Energy Star Certified model. It is more energy-efficient than other same category dehumidifiers.Price Guide
