My first dehumidifier. I live in a new 40 sq.m. one-bedroom apartment. This particular one is totally overkill for the size of my home, but I’ll get better performance and it will last if I move to a bigger house. I have no problem with humidity. I bought it purely as a way to dry my clothes quickly in the winter without having to buy a dryer that consumes a lot of energy or hang my clothes on the balcony and have them smell like fireplace smoke.
So, I do my laundry at night before I go to bed and hang them on two drying racks in my living room. I place the dehumidifier between the racks on the drying program, and in at most ten to twelve hours, no matter how thick the clothes are, they are completely dry.
The noise it makes at maximum intensity is imperceptible to me, and even in such a small house it doesn’t bother me, neither when I sleep nor when I watch TV.
The build quality seems quite good, but I’ll come back after some time regarding this.
As for its consumption, with simple calculations from chatgpt for 15 hours of use every day at the highest intensity, I’ll use just 178 kWh more per month, i.e. about €25. Since I’ll only use it for drying clothes, I believe I won’t see any difference at all in my electricity bill.
Finally, I should say that the clothes it dries are fluffy as if they came out of a dryer and almost unwrinkled if you hang them properly. If it turns out to be a reliable product, I think it will be an amazing purchase. Read the manuals when you buy a product
