Sunpentown SD-30E Dehumidifier Review

Sunpentown DC 30E Dehumidifier reviews are mixed. On Buzzillions, one Sunpentown DC 30E review says it works beautifully, but Sunpentown DC 30E reviews at Simply Dehumidifiers are more critical. One Sunpentown DC 30E review on the latter website says the digital humidity readout is accurate and considers the model a good value for the money, although another user asserts that it leaks. Sunpentown DC 30E reviews on Amazon are similarly divided; one satisfied user calls it a workhorse and another says it's a cheap no-brand product and performs like one.

This is a "quiet operation" machine with two fan settings, an automatic shutoff, and an adjustable humidistat that all contribute to ease of use. In fact, it's one of only two cheap dehumidifiers that we researched that incorporates a quiet operation function. The Sunpentown DC 30E has a 30-pint capacity and a five-liter bucket (i.e., about 10 pints), or it can be attached to a drain for continuous operation. Convenient features include a washable filter for easy maintenance, and a handle and wheels for easy transport around your home. It is Energy Star qualified.

We like the portability, two fan settings, and quiet operation in the Sunpentown DC 30E. But based on uneven Sunpentown DC 30E reviews by users, we wonder whether it works as well as you'd want. Mixed reviews make us wary and you might get better value for your dollar with one of the other cheap dehumidifiers on our list.
