In the rainy and humid season of Spring, moisture and Mold buildup make dehumidifiers a must-have electrical appliance and every household. Learn the tips and tricks of how to decide which dehumidifier is best for you.
Comparison of dehumidifier types
Each dehumidifier model has its own advantages and disadvantages. First, understand the dehumidification needs of your home, and choose a dehumidifier that suits your living environment and usage habits based on home size, humidity level, season of use, and other factors. Generally speaking, dehumidifiers on the market can be divided into three major categories:
Type of Dehumidifier
Advantages
Disadvantages
Compressor
Save electricity and high dehumidifying capacity
Low-temperature environment will affect dehumidification performance
Desiccant
Stable performance and lighter body
Uses more electricity and low dehumidifying capacity
Among the three dehumidifiers, the compressor-type dehumidifiers are more energy-saving compared to desiccant dehumidifiers, with stable performance when used in a warm environment (above 20°C). Compressor-type dehumidifiers are more suitable for use in Hong Kong households compared to desiccant types.
Comparing the performance of different dehumidifiers
If you want to compare the dehumidification capacity of different dehumidifiers, the most accurate way is to refer to theenergy efficiency label. Since manufacturers generally test dehumidifiers in high-temperature and humid environments, the data they provide may not reflect the actual climate conditions in Hong Kong. The Consumer Council pointed out that the dehumidification capacity of nearly 40% of dehumidifiers on the market i lower than their claimed value. However, standard energy efficiency label testing is usually conducted in an environment of 26.7°C and 60% humidity, which is similar to the warm weather in Hong Kong, so the values will be more accurate.
