Hydrowave Dehumidifier - Small Compact Portable Dehumidifier for Home, RV, Bathroom, Closet, Bedroom, Small Room, Basement, Boat, Mold - Continuous Drain Hose Ready - Quiet Electric Peltier

Read the reviews determined it would satisfy my needs. While my boat was wet slipped in South FL I had to leave a for about 8 months, I placed the unit Model IP-DH800 on the counter and ran a hose sink drain. Made sure the port holes had a tight fit, started it and left. Came back eight months later and to my surprise it was still running, the cabin was totally dry, carpet, cushions, bed all dry I was stunned. It’s a very reliable and economical product, my slip electric bill never increased. I didn’t want to use the boat AC since it has to many moving parts to fail as I was not there.

Bought to use in our 29’ Coachman travel trailer. It works much better than expected, given the price point, indeed it is perfect for the space. In the last three days, it has pulled 3 cups of water into the reservoir. When we arrived at campground, trailer was muggy at setup. Within an hour, the difference was noticable and humiduty was at very comfortable level within an hour or so after that. Now that I know the volume this will pull, I especially like that I the ability to putva small tube on the reservoir so it will drain into sink during extendec non-use periods (we keep camper on power all the time). It is not totally quiet, there is a low fan noise that can be heard, but it is not loud enough to be a distraction, more of a whisper.

I LOVE this unit. I have a smallish travel trailer (24 feet) and needed to control the inside humidity without running the A/C every day. Bought this and a thermometer/humidity measurement device. With this unit running, the inside humidity is from 40-55%, well within the range you want. No problems with mold or "odors". It's quiet too, I've brought it on several trips but haven't used it; you could sleep with it running though. I bought this because you can connect a hose and drain the water directly into the sink or shower. I haven't done that, about once a week I check the inside of the trailer (not a bad idea anyway) and dump 2-3 inches of water from the unit. It works perfectly and I couldn't be happier. If there's an issue as we move into the heart of the Florida summer, I'll update this review, but I do not expect any problems.

This is a decent thermometric dehumidifier. As others have said, this is not a compressor driven dehumidifier, so it will not pull gallons of water from the air in a swampy basement. However, it is great for what it is. Inside is a decent size cooler with a typical PC case fan. Very quiet. It's been on 24/7 for the last month with no issues. I use this in my one-bedroom apartment to help keep the humidity percentage down. It works well for me, as it takes a decent amount of water out of the air but not enough to make it feel super dry. Decent size tank, expect to empty it once every few days (if on all the time). The front does light up blue when powered on. Some may find it too bright but I don't mind it.

Bought this for our travel trailer and used it off and on for a month in one trailer then used it consistently for 1 month in our other trailer. It worked good to collect water and was fairly quiet, BUT the light did not turn red or notify me it was full. Once I dumped the reservoir it started to make a loud noise and then wouldn't turn on at all, which is odd. I'm giving minimal stars since the product did not last long for the money paid for it. Disappointed.

Though the reviews for this item were mixed, I chose to believe the positive ones and agree that those reviewers were correct. I bought this for our sailboat - so a relatively small area. It does what it's made to do, but not as fast as a compressor type unit. Of course, it also costs much less and uses much less power. My bilge pump counter "told" me that this dehumidifier sucked a LOT of moisture out of the air in our boat, and kept it drier, and better-smelling than it would have been otherwise. Very quiet - you can hardly tell it is running. I attached a hose to allow the unit to run without stopping whenever the container got full. It works great. I can recommend this unit without reservation. Just be sure that you are not expecting it to do the work if a unit that costs several times as much and uses many times the electricity. Great for a boat, SMALL rooms, sheds, closest, etc. NOT big enough for a basement. Added 7/6/19 We've had this unit running for over a year and it is working great! One word of advice - if you have an area with major humidity problems - basements with porous floor or walls, locker room, standing water on the floor, etc - this is NOT the unit for you! You will need a more expensive, noisey, power-hungry unit with much more capacity. This unit has been performing flawlessly for over a year on our 30' sailboat on a Louisiana bayou. Keeps it dry, mold, mildew, and odor free for pennies a week. Added 10/10/2020 We've had this little unit running pretty much non-stop for over two years. I had it switched off for a day while we were on the boat and had it open. (No point to trying to dehumidify all of the bayou!) When I turned it back on, I noticed that fan was starting to make some noise. I figured the bearings were getting dry. I took the unit home an opened it up. Unfortunately, it's all but impossible to get to the bearings to lubricate them without destroying the fan. Though I couldn't find the exact fan by part number, I found a fan or two on Amazon and eBay with almost identical specs (24v, .2amps, 90mm square by 25mm thick) that look to be drop in replacements. If you get one of these units and run it as much as I have AND find you need to replace the fan, it only lakes a long #2 Phillips screwdriver and a few minutes to install the new fan. Less than $10. Otherwise, the unit is great and still works. I probably could have let it go, but I took the mousey bearings as a sign of eventual failure and opted to fix it before it died. Even if you're not handy and/or don't want to fix a unit like this - almost two years constant use out of an inexpensive unit is still great. Prolly saved that much in electricity alone over the old compressor unit. I'd still buy it again!
