About the TrueDRY™ DR90 Dehumidifier

The  Honeywell  TrueDRY  DR90  ensures  the  home  is  maintained  at  proper  humidity  levels  through  its  high 
performance and efficiency. 

Benefits

•  Removes up to 90 pints of water per day from the indoor air.
•  Built-in fresh air supply
•  Energy Star Rated

  

Maintaining Ideal humidity

Dew points and relative humidity (RH) affect the way your 
body senses heat. Higher humidity levels cause the air to feel 
much hotter than the actual temperature. When maintained 
properly, your cooling equipment may not run as much because 
dehumidified air feels cooler.
Ideal humidity is defined by industry experts* as being between 
40-60% on an average annual basis. 

When indoor humidity exceeds 60%, 
the home is more susceptible to 
mold and mildew growth. TrueDRY 
DR90 safeguards against excessive 
humidity in the home year-round.
