Why has the listed pint capacity of my dehumidifier changed?
You might have noticed two different listed pint capacities for your dehumidifier. This is because dehumidifiers are now tested under new conditions that result in a reduction of their capacity rating. Due to these new Department of Energy (DOE) testing methods, a dehumidifier’s 2019 DOE capacity rating will be lower than its 2012 DOE capacity rating. However, no changes have been made to the units themselves, only to the method of testing. Actual dehumidifier performance has not changed.
