The Whirlpool
WHAD201CW is part of the
Dehumidifiers test program at
Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Dehumidifiers
models like the WHAD201CW are rated on multiple criteria, such as those
listed below.
Water removal:
Water removal measures pints per day removed under 65º F and 60 percent relative humidity (the new 2019 DOE standard). Models closest to claimed removal scored higher.
Energy efficiency:
Energy efficiency measures kWh needed to remove a pint of water from the air; the fewer the kilowatts, the higher the score.
Noise:
Noise denotes loudness at the highest setting, measured in decibels. We also measured ability to run on low voltage and restart after a simulated blackout; models that didn't automatically restart are footnoted.
