So little and works great in small bathroom.November 29, 2008 My son is at college and has a bathroom with no ventilation. Therefore he was getting mold on the ceiling and his toothbrush!!!! This little dehumidifier has helped the problem a great deal. I would recommend this product and purchase it again if necessary.
Little machine but works greatNovember 26, 2008 Shipped quickly. Works great. Not too loud. Doesn't take too much electricity. Not made for big rooms though.
Small, simple and worksNovember 26, 2008 Wow! I didn't realize just how Petite this thing was. I got it out of the box and it was the size of an American football. I leave mine on 24-7 and generally get around 2-3 ounces of water a day. Somedays it is more, some days less. I use it in my bedroom and bathroom, so it is not exactly "contained". It is not too loud for sleeping, but I generally put it in the hallway at night due to the bright green light on the power switch, otherwise I would put it right next to my bed. The noise level reminds me of my laptop when the fans come on; a small buzz but far from annoying.
I am a little disappointed it doesn't pull out more water, but then I don't know how much water is actually in the air for it to feel humid. I am considering another one for full time bathroom duty, as I don't have a vent for when people shower.
For TINY spaces onlyNovember 24, 2008 Wanted to use this unit in a small bathroom with very poor ventilation to take care of moisture that was causing mold to grow.
Ran this unit non-stop for a couple of weeks. It's quite small, so it obviously doesn't have capacity to remove a large amount of moisture (like after a hot shower), but having read the positive reviews about using this for small spaces, I tried it anyway to see if it would do the trick. Used it at various conditions, from 90% humidity (post-shower) to 45-55% humidity (normal level).
It does indeed dehumidify (water does collect in the reservoir when it's very humid, like after a hot shower), but it does so VERY slowly, so that it's essentially useless in a high-moisture environment like this bathroom. Granted, it's probably not designed for rapid dehumidification, but it did not make a noticeable difference even when humidity was lower (humidity remained at 40-50% when running 24/7).
BOTTOMLINE: It does work, but only for an EXTREMELY small space. Even in a small bathroom (about 45 sq ft), it made little difference at 45-90% humidity.
good little dehumidifierNovember 23, 2008 I live near the ocean and things in my closet get mildew. I have a long wall closet and ended up buying a second. One wasn't enough. So I put one on one end and the other on the other.
They are quiet, they sound like a fan. And they pull water. I have to empty them about every 4 days. I would recommend them for very small spaces.
