NewAir ADS-400 Mini Dehumidifier With Car Kit Review

UPDATE: my unit's external power supply started making a hissing sound a few months after my purchase. I did an internet search and found that this could mean bad capacitors in the power supply which could possibly lead to a fire. i would not recommend this product. this unit is smaller than i was expecting; it is 11" tall and 5.5" in diameter. i have it in our small bathroom at the moment because it was too small to affect the humidity level in the 120 square foot room i had originally put it in (i have a hygrometer in the room to measure its humidity and this unit did not affect the humidity level in 24 hours). i doubt it is adequate for our tiny bathroom. it seems like it might be adequate for a not-too-humid closet. it says it removes 16oz. a day at 86 degrees Fahrenheit, but whose house it 86 degrees? in our humid bathroom it sucks up a mere third of an inch a day.

Sunpentown SD-652 86-Watt Mini Dehumidifier Review

This little dehumidifier, about the size of a boot-sized shoe box on end, performs well. Although essentially all plastic, it is still sturdy. It is ideal for small spaces; I have a 6'x'10x8'h brick structure that is up against a hillside, so quite a bit of moisture comes through two walls even though they are moisture blocked. This unit extracts about 1/2 cup of water per day when the space is closed. This is just enough to satisfy my needs and prevent deterioration of contents. It wouldn't draw enough for a larger area. It would be very good for walk-in closets, even larger than my space, since they would generally have less moisture than I have. I don't believe there would be sufficient benefit for use in a living area since the unit would be overwhelmed by ventilation, having such a little volume capability. This would also be ideal for enclosed spaces in coastal areas.

Easily remove excess moisture from the air with this mini dehumidifier. The unit not only helps allergy sufferers breathe easier, it also helps prevent problems often caused by excess humidity--peeling paint, damaged wood, and mold growth. The dehumidifier uses Peltier (thermo-electric) technology, which means whisper-quiet operation with no noisy compressor, vibration, or refrigerant to deal with. Water collects in the 2-1/5-liter transparent water tank at a rate of about 650 ml per 24 hours, and the unit automatically switches off when the water tank needs to be emptied (continuous drain option also available). Its compact size makes it a nice choice for in a nursery, small bedroom, closet, cupboard, or under a sink. Other highlights include "power" and "full tank" indicator lights, a 12-volt DC adaptor (UL listed), and a recessed carrying handle for simple transport. The 86-watt mini dehumidifier weighs about 4-6/7 pounds and measures 5-1/2 by 8 by 14-1/6 inches.

Vicks V4500 FilterFree Humidifier Review

I am suprised by all the negative reviews. We bought 1 for my oldest daughter last year (end 2006) as she had croup and it worked just fine. A few months ago my youngest daughter had also a cold and cough at the same time as my oldest so we went back to buy a second one.
We don't have mold issues (even though very often if it is not in use we forget to take the water out...and to take the water out is recommended)
It makes the room humid enough (windows are wet the next morning) the best thing for cold/coughing instead of dry air.
Yes it makes quit a lot of noise when it is running but it doesn't cause a problem for my 2 girls to feel or stay in sleep.
And yes we had the first time we used also the waterproblem as we didn't put it back right. But after that never had a problem again...
They are both still working!

Air Oasis AO3000X Light Commercial Air Purifier With Virtually Silent, Inexpensive Operation Review

I have 3 Air Oasis systems in my 3 level home: 3000, 3000 Xtreme and a 5000. The 3000 is on the main level, covers about 700 sq. ft. and runs all the time. The Xtreme is in the basement and runs on a timer for 3 hours at night. It really seems to over-power the 500 square foot area otherwise. I have the 5000 upstairs also on a timer for 4 hours off and on during the day. The 3000 seems about perfect as I have several parrots and the kitchen to deal with. The larger systems will over-power smalle areas and I feel that too much ionization is not good. If the area is rather clean, you can feel a bit light headed with high ionization levels (in my opinion). I have used Air Oasis for over 5 years. The house always smells neutral and fresh. My colds/flu have gone down from 5 times a year to one. I would highly recommend these well-built and attractive systems for controlling the air quality in your home. They are high quality systems and require a new bulb about every 4 years. The 1000 would be a good solution to a large bedroom. I do combine them with the Oreck air filtration systems for complete air management.
