Mine is the same doesn't same Kloudic however. works great. But the top operation buttons are not displayed white or light gray like yours making it difficult to read at all
I have this and there seen to be two issues. The air being drawn in is being drawn through a too wider opening which means it doesn't need to to pass over the cool surface very much. The exhaust is right next to the intake which means the intake is probably sucking in a lot of the dry exhaust air again. Has anyone found a way to modify this to make it better?
I wish I would have found the Amazon reviews prior to getting this. In 36 hours it pulled less than an inch into the tank. It does not run as the specs state. 27 ounces daily with a coverage of 480 sq ft. No way these specs are accurate unless my unit is defective. It under performs big time. Also this guy in the video, his humidity is low 40's LOL That's a perfectly normal range. In automatic mode it wouldn't even be running. It states that it shuts off under 50%.... in Automatic mode...
It depends on the condition. In testing, it said they used 86 degree Fahrenheit air at 80% relative humidity. That’s roughly 30 degrees Celsius with 80% relative humidity. The hotter the air, the more moisture the air can hold, therefore the machine can get more water out of the hotter air with the fan running at the same speed. As the temperature of the air gets higher, the capacity can increase dramatically, so the machine can pull more water out. You can think of the air as a sponge that increase in size depending on temperature. As it gets bigger, it can hold more water. If it is at 80% RH, it is like 80% full of water. Pretend you squeezing the sponge is the dehumidifier. It’s easier to squeeze water out of a full sponge than a slightly full sponge right? Also the fuller sponge gets more water out. In the end It’s more of misleading testing than your machine being faulty.
@@plantlove5257 Yes it should work when in small enclosed spaces. The auto mode keeps it under/at 50% Rh. With the hydrometer varying - or + 5% Rh, it should keep it around 40-60 on auto at worst but it said keep it at 45% Rh to 55 Rh.
I’m not an expert on grow tents at all but I know moldy plants are not great and dry plants are no great either. So if this works for us, it should work for plants because plants and humans usually like around 40-60% Rh
What is your overall opinion of this dehumidifier? I have tried several pelter semi conductor type dehumidifiers, and none have worked effectively like a compresor based dehumidifier does. I see this one on ebay and want to get one.
Depends on your application. Peltier type dehumidifiers are for very small well SEALED spaces, I use mine in a small closet where I store my guitars in the Canadian winter so they don't dry out and crack. Compressor dehumidifiers is the type you need for a room, apartment, or floor of a house. This unit will do practically nothing in a room larger than a walk-in closet (with doors closed constantly).

@@kevinlin2473 do you think this would control rh in a grow tent in humid months??
Eric, what were your conditions when you used it?? I need it for high levels in a small enclosed space.

Can you tell me the AC input power rating?
Hello I wanted to ask how much power does it use per day (watt)
A robotic repeat of the advertising, not an objective review!

Still use it. Is it the best one out there? Probably not. It works to fit my needs.

This has never worked for me. I bought it brand new and I can’t even get it to suck a drop of moisture out of the air.
I have one and its literally collecting no water. :-(
i plugged mine in and it has made zero noise
Because it was broken and didn't turn on? :D
A pretty lousy and useless review - anyone can get a product and start reading the instructions off of the box ...
Still use it... still working. It's a good machine after many, many, many uses.
Kinda loud, huh? Sounds like a washing machine.
Yeah, does make some noise.
