Shinco 22 Pint Dehumidifier Review

Today I am going to go through a dehumidifier by Shinco; for consumer it is important to know what you are buying! I have used this dehumidifier and I will discuss its design, dehumidification capacity, maintenance, usability and lot more.

For your kind information, US Department of Energy updated its rating standards for dehumidifier as of 2019. And based on the new standards Shinco 30 Pint dehumidifier is considered to be 22 Pint however, the coverage is still 1500 Sq. Ft. as the change in standards does not affect the coverage (You can learn more here about the DOE rating standards). However, Shinco needs to update their product details on marketplaces its currently selling the dehumidifiers.

• This unit can be used at a  low noise output of 48dB, making it silent enough for baby rooms, bedrooms, libraries, and offices.

Setup and Usability

Armed with a digital touch control panel with clearly labeled dials, the Shinco SDZ1-30P Dehumidifier doesn’t present much trouble when setting it up. The control board is fitted on the top section of the unit, making it incredibly easy to access.

• The 24-hour timer affords you the liberty to determine the period though which your unit should operate or stay idle

Mode of Drainage

The Shinco SDZ1-30P Dehumidifier provides two methods of releasing the condensate:

Manual Method

This dehumidifier comes with a reservoir that collects up to 4.5 liters of condensate. It also comes with an indicator light that flashes to alert you of the need to empty the water. We appreciate the auto-shutoff feature that prevents an overflow by stopping dehumidification when the reservoir reaches capacity.

Automatic Drain Mode

If you don’t want to empty the bucket manually several times a day, you may attach a drain hose to the port situated at the back of the unit. By doing so, you will allow the condensate to flow out of the unit freely with the help of gravity.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning the Shinco SDZ1-30P Dehumidifier is an easy and essential process that prolongs its usable life and keeps your home safe from mold. The tank can be cleaned easily with warm, soapy water. It comes with a removable splashguard that allows you to clean its interior by hand, which makes your job a whole lot easier.

• When deep cleaning your unit, spray the tank with a mixture of vinegar and water and scrub it thoroughly.
• Use compressed air to dust the filter at least once a week. Wash it with a soft cloth and warm soapy water monthly.
• You may also use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to clean the air grilles.
• Wipe down your unit with a damp cloth; refrain from immersing it in the water.

Key Take-Away

With a 1500 sq. ft coverage area, the Shinco SDZ1-30P Dehumidifier is well suited for medium-sized spaces. The integrated humidistat makes this unit an excellent choice for people who are suckers for intelligent moisture removal. This feature allows the unit to cycle on and off to maintain your pre-selected RH level.

We love the memory function that restores your settings after a power outage or when you switch the unit off and on again.
