was going to be 5 stars(changed to 5)
I ordered this along with a Gurin mini & a DeLongihi regular dehumidifier/s. These are all for our vacation home in Florida. Dampness & mold is a big problem.
It's small and my original plan was to put it in the closet, but have it instead in my home office for now.
I plugged it in at 3:30 & came to look at it at 4:30. The 16oz tank had collected approx 1 tbsp of water. By next morning around 10a.m. it was up to 1/2 a cup. And today at 10:30 its 1 cup. I just measured it. The box says it collects approx 8oz of water per day @ 86F. It is end of April. The room temp probably gets up to 82F in the afternoons, but I think it will stay at collecting 1/2 a cup per day.
When I started this review, I had given it a 5 star. Reason for changing it to 4 stars is this.
I pulled the detachable water tray out to measure the quantity of water. Rightfully so, the tray has a cover with a hole in the middle where the water pours into. BUT!!!! No where does it say in the manual or labeled on the tray as to how to open to pour the water out from the tray. I thought the reason being, because it is quite obvious the full top cover had to be removed from the tray. Well, I tried that and it wouldn't budge. I broke a nail trying to pry it open. I heard a "tick' sound and didn't proceed any further, afraid I might break it. The top feels as if it should not be opened. I Finally just poured/shook the water out thru the small hole on the top.
My home office space is 250sq feet w/high ceiling (approx 14 ft) & carpeted. The unit is very quite. Its like a small fan running. Its not an eyesore either. I do like it, and will order a couple of more to put into my closets.
But If anyone knows ( I will write to the company as well) please let me know, how to pour the water out. I still think the top has to be pried open, but I'm not taking any chances.
Updated to 5 stars. received an email ( wow. in a matter of a few hrs) from what looks like a customer service, telling me how to remove the water. Its the black washer on top of tank that needs to be pulled.
