About the Shinco SDL-30P Compact Dehumidifier
The SDL-30P is the small one: 16.34 inches tall and 10.08 inches wide, light enough to lift by its handle and set on a closet floor or next to a bathroom door. We rate it for spaces up to 1,500 square feet and up to 30 pints a day at 90°F and 90% relative humidity.
Under the cooler federal test the same model is listed at 12 pints a day, and it is marked ENERGY STAR Most Efficient in the certified-product data. Read the 12 when you compare it with other dehumidifiers: that is the number every certified unit is measured on.
You set the humidity you want and Auto mode holds it. Continuous mode runs without stopping, which is what you want for laundry drying indoors. Water goes into a 0.33-gallon tank, or out through the 23.6-inch gravity hose to a floor drain. A removable filter and an activated-carbon filter sit behind the grille, and the unit restarts on its last setting after a power cut.
The SDL-30P Compact Dehumidifier is part of the Shinco catalog.

Federal pint ratings come from one cool, basement-like test, which is why they read lower than the figures on the boxes.
Questions
Shinco SDL-30P Compact Dehumidifier: questions
Is the SDL-30P big enough for a basement?
For a small, slightly damp basement room it can hold the line, but for a whole basement look at the 50-pint and larger units: the SDL-30P is rated 12 pints a day under the federal test, below the 20 to 30 pints ENERGY STAR suggests even for a slightly damp room under 2,000 square feet.
How often do you empty the SDL-30P?
Its tank holds 0.33 gallons, so in a damp room you will empty it more than once a day. Run the 23.6-inch hose to a floor drain and you do not empty it at all.
