READ IT, IT WILL HELP YOU
Well, for those who are looking to buy a dehumidifier. I have been using such a machine for about 7 years now, as I live in a ground floor house that gets very humid during the winter due to lack of sunlight, being in a garden. At the moment I am writing this, after 3 consecutive days of rain, the humidity is at 86%.
I had a zeolite dehumidifier from a well-known company abroad for 6 years. I had read that it is suitable for insufficiently heated houses, so I chose it since I only have air conditioning and an oil-filled heater for heating, no oil or anything. I was completely satisfied with its use, but I was always concerned about its high consumption (650 watts). I had no previous experience with dehumidifiers, so I didn't know what to expect and what is normal. It required a lot of caution in its use, but even with such humidity levels, what could I do? I operated it for many hours.
It created a very nice microclimate inside the house, which is small, about 55 square meters. Especially with the warm air emitted by the zeolite and the ionization function, when you entered the house, you felt a freshness, I can't describe it any other way.
Unfortunately, as many have reported, the zeolite stopped being efficient after 5-6 years. Specifically, I started it with 82% humidity and 22 degrees Celsius. After 13 hours, it had collected only 1 liter of water, and the humidity was borderline at 55%. The measured consumption with a meter connected to the machine was 8.2 kilowatts.
So, the day before yesterday, I put it aside and bought this machine here. I started it around 4 pm when I had 86% humidity in one room and 83% in the other. It reached 50% for the whole house + the bathroom at 10:30 pm. Without moving it around, of course, I just placed it in the middle of the house. In the meantime, two people took a shower, and with the steam alone, you can imagine how the humidity rises again (there is no window in the bathroom).
The machine did an excellent job, quickly and cheaply, as it consumes three times less than my previous one when in turbo mode. Do the math.
So, for now, it's 5 stars from me, even though I've only had it for 2 days.
The ionizer function didn't seem to do anything for me, especially compared to my previous dehumidifier, I don't understand this freshness in the air.
It doesn't make any noise. On the first setting, I can sleep comfortably with it in the bedroom. You can only hear the fan and not the compressor.
During the day, when you watch TV, relax, do chores, cook, etc., there is relative noise, but you can't hear anything on the first setting. The second and third settings are okay, like an air conditioner on high.
The wheels are very convenient, easy access to the water tank, while others have it at the back and it's more difficult. Its hygrometer works perfectly, as I have two of my own in the house, and they have a deviation of up to 2 units from the dehumidifier's.
In the end, I am completely satisfied because it consumes three times less than the zeolite and it also reduces the humidity faster, about half the time. I deliberately bought the larger one with 20L/24h to do its job faster, compared to a smaller model, the difference in consumption is about 20 watts more.
I didn't buy it from Scroutz, so it won't show as a verified purchase, but what I say about both machines is 100% true.
I hope I helped anyone who took the trouble to read.
