DANBY DAC060EUB5GDB AIR CONDITIONER REVIEW IMAGE SOURCE: DANBY

Danby appliances were founded in 1947 in Montreal, Quebec. Since then they have produced many fantastic appliances. While not a manufacturer, they are affiliated with manufacturers located around the world. Today we will be reviewing the Danby DAC060EUB5GDB  window-mounted air conditioner, to see how this unit, in particular, fits into Danby’s long legacy.

Danby DAC060EUB5GDB Air Conditioner Review

The Danby DAC060EUB5GDB is the perfect alternative to the more expensive up-market units out there. If you’re in the market for a medium-range air conditioner that incorporates some of the best convenience enhancing features available on the market, we certainly recommend you check out our review below.

Cooling Performance

With a moderate 6,000 BTUs of cooling power, the Danby DAC060EUB5GDB is the perfect unit for installation in rooms of up to 250 square feet. Additionally, this window-mounted air conditioner doubles as an effective dehumidifier. Regrettably, the exact rate at which the Danby DAC060EUB5GDB pulls moisture from the air is not disclosed by the manufacturer, however we would recommend this unit for environments that suffer from moderate humidity.

Efficiency / Certifications

Fortunately, the Danby DAC060EUB5GDB is backed by a full set of certifications, including being Energy Star Certified, UL-Listed, and AHAM certified.

The Energy Star certification declares that this unit adheres to a set of energy conservation guidelines set out by the EPA. Being UL-Listed means that this device has passed safety assessments carried out by Underwriters Laboratories, while being AHAM certified guarantees that this unit will function as promised by the specifications published by the manufacturer.

The Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) is a reliable indicator of how efficiently a unit performs while in operation. The industry average currently stands at approximately 9.7, with any unit scoring over 10 to be considered highly efficient. As this unit’s EER is 12.1, we would certainly recommend the Danby DAC060EUB5GDB as an exceptionally efficient product.

Convenience

Two features we greatly admire that were incorporated into the Danby DAC060EUB5GDB’s final design are its wireless remote control and programmable timer, which allow the user more control over how and when they require cooling.

If this were not enough already, the Danby DAC060EUB5GDB comes with a number of operational modes, including Auto Mode, Fan Only, Dehumidify Only, Sleep Mode, and Energy Saver Mode.

Design

Weighing 53.57lbs, this unit is heavier than most window-mounts. For this reason we advise seeking assistance during transport or installation of this unit. Further, with a noise level of 51.9dB, the Danby DAC060EUB5GDB is quieter than many units on the market with a similar BTU output. For reference, the average human conversation will usually register at approximately 60dB.

An easily washable air filter is included with this unit, with an indicator light on the control panel to notify the user when the filter is in need of cleaning. Further, 4-way directional louvers mean that this unit is capable of delivering a more even spread of airflow throughout the room.

Help & Support

Danby representatives are contactable via telephone, email, and live chat. As well as this, online user manuals are downloadable from the Danby company website, in the unfortunate case of you losing your physical copy. Finally, a comprehensive FAQs section is also available on the same site, if you would rather prefer to not speak to a representative.

The Danby DAC060EUB5GDB is backed by a 1-year warranty on both the appliance and the compressor. While there are longer warranty plans on the market regarding the compressors of units, we believe Danby’s warranty plan provides adequate coverage considering this unit’s moderate output.

Verdict

With its wide range of convenient features and operational modes, the Danby DAC060EUB5GDB is an ideal choice for cooling medium-sized rooms. Evenly spread airflow means the effects of this unit can be felt after a relatively short period of time. Further, with plenty of certifications backing this device, the user is allowed peace-of-mind in the knowledge that the Danby DAC060EUB5GDB will perform safely and efficiently.
