This was recently on sale for the same price at Bunnings, I missed that deal but seems to be the same price on Amazon. It's getting horridly damp in my neck of the woods, and I'm sick of buying those little moisture absorber tubs. Ausclimate seems to get the most recommendations around here, and this is a good size unit not much more expensive than smaller models at this price. From the store page:

    Consult your medical practitioner at once.

    Probably only going to work in QLD or NT.

    If you're in Melbourne getting cold winter dampness, you're going to need to buy a dessicant not a compressor model

    Bought it at Bunnings last month, (I can still see it at $394 !!),

    Very happy with the purchase, I think we could have gone with the smaller (and cheaper) model. This one is very overkill for our two bedrooms, but it does the job very well. We now use it less than first 2 weeks otherwise it becomes too dry, lol, I know. One hour on timer in the morning when we leave home, after opening the windows for 20 minutes,

    The Desiccant Dehumidifier will work much better in winter…

    They are almost double the price though compared to about a year ago…

      Desiccant units are much slower in extracting moisture - whether they work or not really depends on the temps inside, not outside your premises.

      • jv on 29/05/2024 - 13:45

        I'm in Melbourne. It's cold.

        It extracts 10L per day which is great for a small room.

          It's cold outside. That doesn't apply if you heat or have well insulated premises. But agree a desiccant unit would work well if you want to heat and dehumidify simultaneously.

    • TheFunkySalsa on 29/05/2024 - 13:42

      We're in the Southwest of WA and it's currently 11 degrees and pouring rain. From my research it looks like a dessicant humidifier works much better than other types at temps below 20 degrees. We only get mould and damp during the long cold wet winters down here, it's dry during summer so no need for a dehumidifier during the warm season.

    How does the clothes drying function work and is it any good?

    • PainToad on 29/05/2024 - 12:55

      A dehumidifier absorbs moisture in a room, which in theory would include the moisture in clothes. No idea how good it works in practice but.

        Dryer air help dry cloths faster…

      • Click_It on 31/05/2024 - 12:47

        I used to use this very unit for that exact job in my old place. Works a treat. I have a dryer these days but all in all its a very good unit. As people have commented about the type of dehumidifer, if using to dry clothes during winter, best do it in the smallest room possible as it'll really start working once the ambient temp is up. A small bathroom or something will do the trick.

    • meeowth on 29/05/2024 - 13:03

      It's less a specific function and more a natural consequence of setting the desired humidity to it's lowest setting.

      Just set the humidity all the way down, put it in a room that has damp clothes hanging in it and close the door. It's pretty effective. If the room in question is tiny it will be quite fast since the room will also get hot, but a larger room is fine.

      Totally eliminates the risk of moldy/smelly clothes from drying indoors when it's humid and cool.

      I have the 50L model

      • sav11 on 29/05/2024 - 13:09

        Thanks. What do you mean the room will get hot? Does this device emit much heat? I'm in Darwin it's already too hot lol.

        Also how often do you have to empty the tank with humidity set all the way down? (I know it will depend on the environment/relative humidity, just trying to get a rough idea)

        • Brakus on 29/05/2024 - 13:37

          I also have the 50L version. It does heat the room up a bit. maybe by 2-5C depending on how long you keep it running. The heat is the effect of the compressor running. on a 50L, running it for about 3 hours on a 80% humidity probably fills 1/3 of the tank.

          We had problems with molds growing on furniture and clothes. Keeping track of the humidity and running the dehumidifier when humidity goes beyond 70% really helped a lot.

        • meeowth on 29/05/2024 - 13:49

          It's basically a window aircon that is totally inside, so the cold and warm side of the aircon are mixed together and the resulting air is overall a little warmer than the intake air. If you have it running continuously, as you would if you are using it to dry clothes, this will result in a few degrees increase over time.

          However when you are not drying clothes, but are instead using it to reduce humidity, it will cycle off as soon as it hits the desired humidity (I usually have mind set to keep humidity below 55-60%ish). So it won't be constantly producing heat.

          Edit: Also I usually have mine drain into a nearby sink via the long hose it comes with, how often you would have to empty the tank is a simple case of maximum liters it can produce per day into the size of the tank. Unless you are drying out furniture cand carpets after a flood, it probably isn't going to produce at it's max rate.

          • bargainshooter on 29/05/2024 - 13:58

            @meeowth: Do you have yours sitting above the sink or does it have a pump?

            • meeowth on 29/05/2024 - 14:05
              +1

              @bargainshooter: 50L model has both a chunky gravity drain tube and a pump with a very long thin tube that can go under closed doors. I've always used the pump with the tube either going to the laundry sink or the bathroom sink depening on which end of the house it's in.

              The 35L model in this listing just has the gravity outlet so it would have to go to a floor drain or something

          In a laundry I would use the continuous drainage feature and run the hose into the drain. No more emptying the tank! Think of a compressor dehumidifier like an air conditioner with the outdoor unit inside (which is actually how it works). The internal unit cools the foils on the condenser, which allows vapour to condense onto the foils and the external unit expels heat. With a dehumidifier, the external unit is inside, you don't have a fan over the condenser to drastically cool the room but the expelled air is warmer than the ambient air.

          Another option in a hot environment is an aircon unit set to dehumidifier mode - it will cool and dehumidify simultaneously. Some portable aircons will do this as well.

    • bargainshooter on 29/05/2024 - 13:24

      I have a smaller model that I use in the laundry and hang clothes I need drying outside of a tumble dryer above it. Dries in a couple of hours with no shrinkage.

      The clothes drying function only makes the compressor work harder than normal.

  • fans on 29/05/2024 - 14:03

    i got 25L model. pretty good…

  • coby on 29/05/2024 - 14:29

    Have got this same model. Even though it is relatively colder in my place it still extracts an impressive amount of moisture. Thumbs up
