I have a small 2 bed 1930’s bungalow and being at work 5days a week I am unable to have the windows open in the day.
With winter setting in I found I was suffering badly with condensation (new double glazing has been fitted) and small areas of mould in certain rooms.
The RH was around 75% when I got the dehumidifier. I placed the unit in the middle of the property (internal doors open) and after running the unit 24hrs for 5 days, the RH is now to around 53-59%.
I run the unit every other day over night and this keeps the % to a good level. As yet I haven’t had condensation and my home seems warmer with the heating only being on for a max of 5hrs a day.
I’ve cleaned the corners that had mould and hoping this is kept at bay until the warmer months when windows/doors can be open in the evenings. Emptying the unit is very satisfying.
The only thing that I would like is if the tank could be clear so it’s easy to see how much water has been collected. Haven’t used the pipe for continental emptying as I have been able to be home when the unit needs emptying.
I have recommended this unit to two friends who are investing.
