Will this lower the humidity in a small room to 40%? My room is about 15' x 15', currently the humidity is 60%.

We're using it in a smaller room than that so I don't know about the 20% reduction in your room. I'd think it should make a big difference, though. If you have room, I'd suggest 2 of these--or even a larger one.

I doubt it. My room is maybe 14x15 and it has lowered it about half that. I have single pane windows and plan to replace them next summer for double pained ones. I live in seattle

Never!!! These Peltier type devices become much less efficient when humidity is below 80%. My RV interior is less than 14' x 7' and the Eva-Dry 1100 couldn't lower the 75% humidity more than a few points. They are really designed for a small closet, in spite of their claims. Houses are not air-tight and this small device can't keep up with the air exchange from the outside.

I am sorry but I don't think it will, we have it in smaller size room and it only takes out a small amount of moisture but the humidity is still to high after two weeks of use but coming down to 66% this am

I think you need a larger model to keep it that dry. This is a nice little unit but for like a small closet or bathroom max and it doesn't have a meter that tells you the humidity level.

I don't think it will work for a room 15x15, maybe a room half that size. It fills about a cup of water every day.

It will raise humidity from 25 to 38 in about 10hours in my room that's about 330 sq ft.It's not noisy.I don't have any white dust.

It's great for a bedroom, reasonable for a medium-sized room, but probably not enough for a large room. If you live in a humid place, don't even bother; just get a fan or an air conditioner.

Honestly, you can't have too large a fan. Who wouldn't want humidity from a shower and bathroom odors gone as fast as possible! 150 cfm is very adequate!

I don't think so. I have it in a bedroom with the door closed and I can't get it to get above 35 % humidity. The bedroom has new windows, ceilings are 10 feet. I want to love this, but no matter what setting I do, it won't get me the optimum humidity.

This unit will not humidify the area that it claims. It will handle two large rooms at best. If you have 1800 sqft I would recommend getting two units.

You should turn the humidity setting down using the arrow keys. I set my @ 30%.

You can reasonably expect for this to humidify a gallon or less space. The larger the space, the quicker the water inside will be consumed. I keep tubes of my material to be humidified into sandwich bags each with a pack, and those into a big Tupperware with one additional pack. Works very well.

I love this dehumidifier! However, I bought it to solve a problem in a very small space, on purpose, because I also needed it to keep the space above freezing in winter. It does have the ability to be set for a specific humidity, if you want, of 40, 50, or 60%, another thing I love about it, as I need it to prevent mold so keep it set at 40%, and it does a great job. Hope you get your answer for the size space you need.

I have had a lot of luck with keeping my unit on low then moving it up to medium. I have the unit in a room and not in an open area. Our house usually starts at 35% humidity and I set it to go to 45% to 50% and it usually gets there within a couple hours.

You can set your desired humidity level and it will shut off when it reaches the set %. It'll kick back on when the humidity level drops below your set % again.

I would say it is good for a very small room. It depends on the amount of humidity you have, but I wouldn't use it for a room larger than 8x10 feet and only if you have moderate to low humidity. This machine is best for a closet, not a room.

Be sure to have the humidity level set correctly. There are 2 buttons to the right of the digital display for current temperature and current humidity. Press the down arrow button to adjust the humidity level that you want. (It should be set lower than your 65 %.............I have mine set to 40 %.) Hope this helps. Nancy

Well, I use this dehumidifier in my house of 1000 sq. feet - and although I know it may be too small for it - I was looking for something that wasn't an energy hog - it does cost me $20.00 a month but it did remove moisture in the air. My house is sealed up tight with new windows so I wasn't battling the outside elements. I would say for your size it would be fine - just know it runs all the time - the fan runs and the compressor shuts off when it reaches a desired level. Hope this helps Dave

Yes - I think you may have to step up to a larger unit. My space is a similar size, and now that warmer more humid weather has arrived, the unit is running almost full time to maintain 50% humidity. Although the unit is very quiet compared to other units I have owned, it still may be a bit annoying in certain circumstances (e.g. viewing TV in the area).

What we have done is to leave our basement door open and the dry air naturally gets sucked down with this air exchanger. Our basement used to struggle with a dehumidifier to keep the humidor below 60% and the air still was stale air. With this the air exchanges and we have stopped using a conventional dehumidifier and the air is staying below 40%.

in my opinion it has no area effectiveness. I used it standard size bedroom for some 10 hours with no difference between the bedroom and the hallway. there was barely any water in the tank after two attempts to gauge it's worth. it is now back in the box. the intake and output fans are weak if it can't bring air in it can't remove humidity.
