Product Information

Think small window air conditioner, not box fan (in terms of electricity use) and you have the idea. It sports a unique stackable design for increased tank space and easy storage, and reduces humidity levels quickly and quietly. It has two low and high fan settings – it gets a bit noisy when it’s on the highest setting – and there are also three drying modes, including a laundry setting.

We found setting it at around 40 per cent would remove most moisture from the air, making it ideal if you’re using it in the kitchen to battle condensation or if you have a particularly damp space. If left untreated, this can lead to unpleasant odours, damaged furniture, mould spots, wood rot, and even structural damage – not to mention the negative impact it can have on your health, with high humidity levels making conditions such as asthma and allergies worse. I hope none of you reading this has to deal with a flooded basement or the prospect of thousands of dollars of property damage. It also has a clear plastic strip on the side that lets you see how much water is currently in the bucket, as well as two supports on the inside, near the top, that hold the dehumidifier unit in place while in bucket mode. The moisture pulled from the air gets collected into a drip tray, and dry air is pushed back into the room.com and PC Magazine are among the federally registered trademarks of Ziff Davis and may not be used by third parties without explicit permission. Due to the compressor getting going at first, we did find it a little loud, but after a while, it just faded to a low hum, making it perfect for running in the background while you’re watching TV.

It will cool the air a little because it works by blowing ambient air over a condenser coil and letting the water drip into a holding tank. This noise is present in Compressor Dehumidifiers with R290 refrigerant where the internal fan is not loud enough to cover the noise. It has a handle for easy removal from the bucket, as well as several onboard control buttons and a status LCD that tells you the current humidity level and displays codes such as bucket full (P2) and unit not in place (Eb).To get started, I lifted the unit out of the bucket, turned it 90 degrees so that the arrow on it was lined up with the arrow on the bucket, and rested the unit on the supports. Size is another factor, as the devices range from small and compact to large and bulky, but whatever your space requirements, there’s one out there for you. I have it in my crawl space and being able to control it by Wi-Fi on the phone app only adds to the convenience. By morning the house was down to 50% humidity, towels in the bathrooms were already dry where normally a shower would leave them damp until the next afternoon, it felt so much better.
