Review on Gurin DHMD 110 Renewable Wireless Dehumidifier by Amanda Wohltmann

I have several of these little dehumidifiers and love them. I use them in large plastic containers where I keep sewing towels, cat food, cat litter, and miscellaneous tools (antique hand grinder, hand tools like old handyman drill bits, ratchet screwdrivers, spare drill bits, my dremmel), shoes, and extra pillows. I also use them in wooden closets where I keep clothes. They are designed for SMALL spaces, so NO, they will not remove moisture from your basement break room. But they do a good job of what they were designed to do. I live near the sea 4 degrees above the equator, with limited air conditioning. If you stand still for too long, mold will start to grow on your shoes! These devices use a minimal amount of electricity to dry the crystals, so for me it's a good compromise between using chemical desiccants, which are based on hydrophilic chemicals that absorb water from the air until you have a bucket of soup in your closet you have. there is. pour into the sewer. So from an ecological point of view, these small electronic devices are probably better. When the sun is out I can plug it into a special solar outlet I have in a room. But usually I have to reserve the solar panel for fridges and freezers. I've given away a few of these dehumidifiers to friends who report that the mold smell has gone from their wood closets in just a few days. One charge lasts me about a month. When the crystals change color, you'll know it's time to recharge (dry) them. And no, drying out doesn't increase the humidity in my air-conditioned living room, which anyway has the windows open and the sea breeze blowing in. If you have a boat with storage compartments, or a house with closets, dressers, plastic bins, a small closet with no windows, or a small enclosed space where you store things that you don't want to smell like mold, then this is the solution.
