The first night it operates. In 15 hours (on LOW) I weighed about 2.4 kilograms of water in the drum...
From 66% to 56% humidity in the apartment. Noticeable difference in room temperature, the radiator seems to work less.
At the moment it is closed in the room drying clothes, so I will come back with comments on this function.
Finally, its smell is imperceptible, and this is said by someone who, when smelling a fragrance, goes out to the balcony with a headache.
Update: After 1 week of operation.
Clothes drying is satisfactory, although our old washing machine does not dry clothes well, so I don't have a good comparison to judge. The first time (sunny day) the clothes were dry after 6 hours, but it was a rainy evening (so they hadn't dried at all).
The second time it took more than 12 hours as there were 2 loads and it was raining non-stop outside.
As for the operation, it seems difficult to reach the 50% mark on Auto mode, especially when it's raining. At least for our space, which is an apartment but open on 3 sides, with the bottom empty and without heating (office) next door.
I have set it to 60% and when it's not raining, it works occasionally and stops. When it's raining, it works for many hours a day.
These are in a 60sqm apartment with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom with open doors.
If I put it in the bedroom and close the door, it reaches 40% without any problem.
So, the positives are:
+ Warmer atmosphere and lower heating consumption
+ Good construction, low noise, easy to move
+ Good clothes drying (without a comparison measure)
Negatives:
- Difficulty in reducing humidity below 60% in an open space, especially on rainy days when external humidity is > 85%
Neutral (?):
- I noticed that the humidity indicator is quite sensitive to changes, which can be considered both good and bad. For example, when the balcony door opens, the reading goes from 55 to 65 in 10 seconds, so it jumps up, but when the door closes, it takes a while to drop back to 55.
Update
After several days of operation, I can generally say that it is a good tool and significantly improves the atmosphere.
Also, clothes drying is satisfactory.
However, regarding humidity levels, I don't see it being able to keep it below 60% without always being open.
If you don't close it properly, but I don't think it's economical to keep it running for 24 hours.
I can't compare it to anything else, but I don't think the readings are wrong because it reaches 45% in 2 hours in a closed room.
