So this was the initial set up. Now that you have had it for a while, how do you clean the yuck build up inside the water tank? I’m sure the plastic handle insert is removable but I don’t want to break it. Can you help me with that?

@@flyingunderwear The layout of my house has a bathroom (shower) situated at the "end" where there isn't any air exchange. Think of it as a hallway, and at the extreme end sits the shower. As the water (from shower) naturally evaporates, the vapor has no place to go & it gets musty in there. ....Yes, there is a powerful exhaust vent, but I don't want to keep it running for 2 hours as the shower tile air dries...just an example. . The bathroom is only about 100 square feet; having a large-capacity dehumidifier in there isn't necessary. Small dehumidifiers exist, but they are Peltier models, which are inherently extremely inefficient by their operation principles. ....Hence my question: smallest compressor style on market..... or I'l DIY my own since I'm familiar with refrigeration systems.... but finding one ready-made on market is obviously much easier. "Peltier" models = "TE" Thermo-Electric. Same thing.
@Schrimpieman i understand, i deal with industrial Refrigeration. There are 100 ways to achieve your goal. Good make up air and ventilation would be the first thing to look into.
@@flyingunderwear I've considered various options, but each carries its own challenge. First feasible solution would be to tap into the central A/C system with a 4" flexible insulated tube & install a supply vent in bathroom ceiling. However, I converted to Mini-Splits for the whole house (best investment/reno/mod I've ever made), so the central A/C in closet is now dormant. If I can't find a space-saving compressor style dehumidifier, maybe I'll just install a small suction fan (refrigerator condenser fan or microwave fan) controlled by a humidity sensor. They run quiet & pull only some 20 watts. .....anything is possible, eh ?
@@Mikey-ym6ok No, they are all junk. In the Northeast there's a chain called Ocean States Job Lots. The have a gimmick where you pay the price for something and in many cases you get a gift card for 100% of the price or a percentage of the item. I bought a HiSense refurbed 3 months ago. 250 bucks with a 200 gift card. Net price is 50 bucks. If I get 2-3 years it was a screaming deal. This is will be my 1st refurbed and 3rd overall all. the other 2 I payed full freight. Frigidare + Toshiba (Midea). This looks like a smaller and older Midea. Toshiba doesn't get much use. The Frigidare worked for 3+ years and that's all she wrote. When I brought it to transfers station, the cargo container had 10-15 dehumidifiers of different sizes and different brands in it. My Hisense will not last. Neither will the Toshiba.

I just bought one! How's yours holding up?
Did you figure out the reason for the discrepancy between the two RH readings?
Great review 👏😁 👌
So we don't put water in it? It makes water out of the air?
Correct. It absorbs moist air and blows out warmer dry air.
Nah you’re thinking of a humidifier. This is pretty much a reverse A/C

If you don't mind me asking. Why do you want the smallest Refrigeration compressor?

No model number. No capacity. Looks like Midea/Toshiba
SUCKED in :P
These dehumidifiers are junk. Yes they work good but expect 4 years or less as far as longevity. Mine lasted 3
Good to know.
I mean yeah you get what you paid for.
@@Mikey-ym6ok what 200 dollars is fucking peanuts these days?

Thats like 10 cent a day to dehumidify and clean air for u…. Wtf
