Dehumidifier info required

DXP55 · 13 Nov 2013 at 09:40

Rather than hijack an existing thread (which I can't find now) where OP was recommended to get a Dehumidifier I though that would be handy for me - I have small three bed bungalow so something suitable.

I started to do search's for them and came to first stumbling block - Do I go for Compressor or Desiccant one - a slim one would be preferable but obviously better bang for buck's over rides style.

So can anyone recommend one at all please or a price range I should be looking at.

I did buy this one from link above from Chris5 - http://www.dry-it-out.com/RD12D so it will be interesting when he comes back with result's of smart power supply'

From what I read in book it says Power 260w - now as this is just running compressor I can believe it - Fan speed isn't going to take much High or Low. - It's not as though it's a heater although exhaust air is warm.

Good service from supplier - ordered 3.0pm Wednesday and arrived at my door 8.30am Thursday.

Had it running in 2nd bedroom and it took out a Jug of water - as a trial we hung some washing on portable dryer and took out a good 1ltr - switched it off after a few hourse and it's dry this morning and only 5mm condensation along window.

It's back in bedroom but only going to leave it 2 hrs and see. I can basically check my electric usage as I take a meter reading every monday which is usually around 58-64 units so if it's up I can blame DH

Since I have had ours it's turned on in bedroom for an hour each morning after we get up - timer turns it off and half fills tank in about three days - Start's at 90% and is down to 68% after the hour.
