Dehumidifier,TABYIK 35 OZ Small Dehumidifiers for Room for Home, Quiet with Auto Shut Off, Dehumidifiers for Bedroom (280 sq. ft), Bathroom, RV, Closet

Works as described and does a good job for a small area. Very quiet, easy to use with no problems emptying the water, and bend running steadily since it was received. Biggest thing to remember about this is that it requires regular maintenance like anything that runs air through it or it will clog up and break down due to user error.

For the price, this is a great little unit for very small spaces such as a closet, small bedroom, small RV, small boat cabin, locker, etc. Don't expect it to bring humidity down fast or keep up with an environment that constantly reintroduces large amounts of moisture. It is a thermoelectric cooling device utilizing a peltier module and cannot compete with a larger, more expensive vapor-cycle refrigeration based dehumidifier. Keep your expectations in check. I purchased it for a small boat cabin to reduce humidity while in storage, and for that I think it's perfect. The collection cup can be easily modified to fit a small drain valve so it wouldn't have to be emptied in my specific application (I'll wait for the warranty to expire of course). The light can be cycled on or off, not sure why others complained about that. The noise level is that of a computer fan, which is exactly what is in it. For me, that means it's very quiet. To each their own. As to longevity, time will tell.I did a test run in the living room and in a small bathroom. In my house, water collection was slow, as anticipated, approximately 1/4 cup in 24 hours. In the bathroom after a shower, it collected about 1 cup of water overnight. Your mileage will vary depending on relative humidity.The one con I can think of is that it cannot be controlled. It's either constantly running or it's off. It will not turn back on in the case of a power outage, so you can't use it on an external humidistat.

This unit is small and can easily be placed in a room without being obtrusive. The write up about the unit says it uses about 40 watts of electricity, so there will be a slight cost when in use. It does generate a tiny bit of heat. The fan has one speed and the closest comparison I can think of regarding the noise level would be the cooling fan on a laptop when it's running at close to full speed. It's not unpleasant and reminds me a bit of the white noise machines, so we have quickly gotten used to it. The lighting effects can easily be turned off, but they automatically turn on anytime you turn the unit back on, so two taps of the light button and they go back off.This small unit will not perform like a full size, floor model, dehumidifier. (some negative reviewers seem to think it should have performed in a comparable fashion) Those full size, floor units use an air conditioner type system so they dehumidify the air very quickly, but are very large and much, much louder and expensive. We had one in our full size home for years and you could literally see the humidity level begin to drop on a hygrometer within 30 minutes or so. This unit will not perform to that level due to it's small size and the mechanism used to remove moisture. We've had it over a week now and over a 24 hour period it removes about 3/4 of a cup of water from the air. Of course, the humidity level and temperature will dictate any increase or decrease in the numbers we saw.This unit is meant for small spaces of less than 250 sq feet. We have it in a bedroom with an adjoining bathroom. But since we leave the bedroom door open and have central air, that means it essentially is dealing with the whole apartment of about 900 sq feet. Don't expect to feel a marked difference in the humidity level in a large space. I would imagine in an appropriately small space, with doors closed and no central air, this unit would make the area feel dryer.Our issue is condensation build up on our single pane windows in the winter. Even just removing 3/4 cup of water per day means that there will be that much less water in the air to condense on the windows. We've now decided to purchase an additional unit to place in the second bedroom at the opposite end of the apartment from where the first one is placed. Our hope is between the two units we will see a marked difference in our humidity levels. Two of these units are much cheaper and quieter than a full size, floor model.I can recommend this unit if you purchase it with the understanding of it's limitations.UPDATE:We purchased an additional unit for our 900 square foot apartment. The two bedrooms are at the opposite ends of the apartment and we placed one of these dehumidifiers in each room. They both have been pulling about 3/4 of a cup of water out of the air every 24 hours, with inside temperature at 72 and initial relative humidity at about 64 percent. So with the two units we are eliminating about 1 !/2 cups per 24 hours. We might see a drop in the hygrometer reading to 59 or 60 percent occasionally in that time. Not comparable to a big floor dehumidifier, but much cheaper and quieter. While they have not eliminated the condensation issue, I think it has helped to reduce the overall amount of water condensing on our windows during the winter.

Ive had this for a bit over 3 months and its been working like a charm. I usually keep it in my bathroom but alternated to the window of my small apartment during the winter to keep down condensation.Not very loud, but also not super quiet, I would say its similar or a little less than what you might expect from a white noise machine.The RGB lights are kinda fun too, and can work like a night light. Its cool to see how much water fills up in the tank thats just in the air, though obviously hot showers add a lot. Literally just plug and play.
