The Whynter
RPD-702WP is part of the
Dehumidifiers test program at
Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Dehumidifiers
models like the RPD-702WP 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.
