Sunpentown Mini Dehumidifier with TiO2 and UV light Review

Sunpentown Mini Dehumidifier with TiO2 and UV light
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am currently using this in an apartment sized bathroom. The bathroom has no ventilation or even AC so all the moisture just sits in there. It always smelled dank and musty in there, no matter what cleaning products I would use or deodorizers I'd setup in there. Within 24 hours of setting this little guy up(Sits on my bathroom sink countertop.) The smell was gone and it already had well over a cup of water in the tank. It also comes with a thin clear drain hose that allows it to run continuously without having to empty the tank. It has been running for about 2 months now without a single problem.

I only can see a few issues with this device.

1. To me it is loud. Very loud. While this isn't a problem for me due to where it is at, if you are looking to put this somewhere where you need or want quiet like a bedroom, I'd try to find something else. preferably fan-less if possible. (I can drown it out very easily with all the entertainment electronics I run throughout the apartment, but I could imagine it being a problem for someone trying to sleep with this thing running in the same room.

2. I don't care for the tank design. The one time I tried to empty the tank I spilled a good amount of the water into the machine just trying to pull the tank out. So I'd same make sure it's unplugged before emptying the tank. Also the hose comes off easily when I move the unit around which leads to another problem I have with the design. The hose connects to the very top of the tank, meaning the tank has to be full before it starts to drain through the hose. I can see why they did it this way but I would have preferred an option to go without a tank at all.

Of course they are just minor gripes to me. The product does its job well and I have yet to find anything else even close price-wise that can compete.

Eva-dry Electric Petite Dehumidifier Review

Eva-dry Electric Petite Dehumidifier

(More customer reviews)
I live in a coastal region that receives high levels of moisture and humidity on a daily basis.To top it off, my house has bathrooms which have no ventilation, so we've often had to deal with mold problems.The answer to my problems arrived in the form of a small box-shaped dehumidifier called "Eva Dry".

This device works tremendously well, pulling moisture out of the air at a reasonable rate.The 16oz reservoir takes about one week to fill up, when I leave it running constantly.I use it in my bathroom mainly, but once in a while my bedroom will feel damp, and it handles the 12'x14' space just as effectively as it does the bathroom.My only complaint is that it's not nearly as quiet as I thought it would be, and the power cord is kind of bulky for bathroom use; I have to tuck it all away someplace, and my only outlets are on the counter, so that's a bit aggravating.The product loses one star for that.

I recommend this to anyone who has ventilation problems and needs to be rid of excess moisture in small to medium sized spaces.

Sunpentown SD-350TI Mini Dehumidifier with UV Light and TiO2 Review

I bought two mini dehumidifier at once, this one and the Eva-dry EDV-1100 Electric Petite Dehumidifier.Hands down, the Eva-dry out performs this!They are about 7' apart, but yet the Eva dry can pull out about 8oz of water every 3 days, compared to the 2 tblsp or so this device does.

However, this device is much quieter than the Eva-dry.

As for the UV light, is it really necessary?Better yet...does it really even work?I wouldnt know....

Shipping was prompt from the company.

Honeywell QuietCare Cool-Moisture Humidifier, 3-Gallon, HCM-630 Review

Honeywell QuietCare Cool-Moisture Humidifier, 3-Gallon, HCM-630
Average Reviews:

We bought this humidifier to replace one that was purchased about six years ago, also a Honeywell model.That model had a two gallon tank and would shut off if the water ran out.Compared to that, this newer model has a relatively TINY tank, at perhaps a gallon or so.Since the unit is rated at 3 gallons per day output, that would mean quit a bit of refilling on very dry days.On our old unit, the tank had a handle on the underside (where the fill cap is) so that when you filled it, you had something to hold on to.Not so with the new unit.And to make matters even more difficult, the bottom of this new tank is not flat, so you can't just set it under the faucet and expect it to stay there.

The most annoying thing though is the absence of an automatic shutoff and indicator light when the water level gets too low.Because the tank is in the back of the unit, it is hard to see the water level.This thing will run and run and run without water, drying out the filter so you have to take it out an re-soak it again.While stylistically nicer, this units functionality is a real step down from previous generations of their humidifiers.
