What make of dehumidifier do you use?

[luckyduck69]

My old dehumidifier is coming to the end of its life and wanting to buy a new more efficient one for roughly a 3m x 3m room, anyone use one that you think is worth buying? Heard some of the newer ones are a fire hazard for continuous use and not something I'd like to risk, so any suggestions would be welcome, something that has continuous draining

Mine is branded MonHouse
Has a 3L tank, or drain hose option, night mode, timer and built-in HEPA filter
Runs at 55W and has worked very well for the last 3 years... and counting
It generates gentle heat too so in winter/cold basements it's ideal
Cost around £100 from Zon
HTH

Bought a Vacplus 14L dehumidifier. Drain Hose. Works as intended.

I don't worry about the brand as much as the warranty. I have used warranty more than once

Bought an Igenix 30l with a drain hose, went for larger option this time as tent is in a garage that has lot higher humidity than the house and will have a bit more work to do than just controlling the tent humidity.

That's a good idea for most electrical appliances, definitely the larger ones that I never think of, I will from now on though, cheers

Good idea! I probably could have gone with a bit larger of a unit but the 5 x 5 I'm in now is inside the house in a temperature controlled office so my reasoning was I have the home HVAC to dry whatever makeup air is being pulled into the system and this can supplement without my having to push the unit to run at 100% constantly.

Obviously you have a much more unpredictable environment you need to try and control so a larger unit would make sense.

Yea i had a 20l before that did the job but over winter it was working hard, as garage RH was 99% 8 months of the year, joys of living in the Northern Hemisphere. The old one lasted about 5 or 6 years, if this one does the same i'll be happy with that
