Bionaire QuietTech Dehumidifier BDQ24

Date Published: 5/5/05

The smartest looking of the dehumidifiers we've reviewed, the Bionaire QuietTech Dehumidifier BDQ24 offers extra in functionality as well.

Its biggest selling point is its quiet operation. This model makes less noise than most of the other units we've tried.

Second, it offers four convenient settings: continuous, economy, and your choice of two preset humidity levels (45 to 55 percent or 55 to 65 percent). You just push a button to choose.

Unlike most units that have only one filter, this model has two: a washable nylon filter and an activated charcoal one for reducing household odors, such as cigarette and food. The unit comes with a washable nylon pre-filter and a carbon odor filter. The latter should be replaced every three to four months.

The tank of the Bionaire QuietTech Dehumidifier BDQ24 is clear, so you can see at a glance whether it will need emptying soon. In addition, an audible signal lets you know when it's time to empty the bucket.
