What we know

Where it stands

This model is not on the EPA’s list of certified dehumidifiers (checked Oct 16, 2026). Figures on this page come from the company that filed it.

  • Rated 30.10 pints a day in its filing with the Department of Energy.DOE class: portable, over 25 and up to 50 pints a day. DOE basic model DDR030BL2WDB.
  • Its efficiency, 1.90 liters per kWh, is 0.30 above the federal minimum for portables rated over 25 and up to 50 pints a day.That minimum is 1.60 L/kWh, for units made since June 13, 2019.
  • That beats 180 of the 452 certified portable models.Their median is 2.01 L/kWh, from 1.70 to 2.24.
  • Removing 100 pints costs $4.56 in the United States, against $4.31 at the median of those certified models.Same 2019 DOE test on both sides, so the figures compare directly.
  • In the DOE database, this model number appears under the Danby name only.
  • The EPA list has 3 certified Danby models, from the DDR022BSWDB to the DDR050BL3BDB, filed by Danby Products.

Good to know

What “not on the EPA list” means

The model is missing from the EPA’s dataset on the date we checked. That says nothing about its safety or build quality. Its capacity and efficiency come from the filing with the Department of Energy. That filing uses the same 2019 test as the models on the list, so the cost to remove 100 pints compares directly. No yearly energy figure is published for it.

in the United States

Run for a whole day at its rating, the DDR030BL2WDB removes 30.1 pints, about 3.8 gallons, on roughly 7.5 kWh. In the United States, that’s $1.37.

Its rating comes from a DOE test at 65°F and 60% humidity. In cooler air at that humidity, the DDR030BL2WDB pulls out less than 30.1 pints a day.

Those 3.8 gallons need a way out: a hose to a drain, a pump, or a bucket you empty. Our sources don’t say which ones the DDR030BL2WDB has.
