Pro Breeze® 500ml Premium Dehumidifier for Damp, Mould, Moisture in Home, Kitchen, Bedroom, Caravan, Office, Garage (White & Blue, 500ml)

The Pro Breeze 1500ml Dehumidifier is a compact and efficient device designed for small spaces, such as bedrooms, offices, or bathrooms. With a water tank capacity of 1500ml, it can effectively reduce humidity levels in rooms up to 220 square feet, making it suitable for personal use. It operates with low noise, which is a major plus for nighttime or bedroom settings, ensuring it won’t disturb sleep. The energy-efficient design makes it cost-effective to run continuously without spiking electricity bills. Additionally, the automatic shut-off feature activates when the water tank is full, preventing any risk of spillage. The unit is lightweight and portable, allowing easy movement between rooms if necessary. One downside is that it may take some time to notice significant results in larger or more humid environments. Overall, it’s a solid, budget-friendly option for maintaining comfortable humidity levels in small to medium spaces.

I bought this to dehumidify my bedroom, which feels far warmer than it is due to humidity, leading to uncomfortable nights' sleep and that feeling that you can't get properly dry after a shower, for example.I plugged it in in the late afternoon, and it certainly made a difference. Although, I would say (like other reviewers) that it takes some time to actually start doing its job. This is because of the way Peltier effect works, and means it should be left on to work effectively. There's a pretty large heatsink of what looks like machined aluminium inside the machine, finned to provide surface area, and the Peltier device needs to bring the temperature of this heatsink down to well below ambient temperature for moisture to start condensing on it. After about 6 hours it started condensation, and the first few drops dribbled down into the reservoir. Over the next 6 hours, it produced a good amount of water, and the air in the room feels appreciably drier and more comfortable. I expect it would have no trouble extracting the claimed 500ml/day, depending on conditions (it can't get water out of the air if the air's already pretty dry!). Ambient temperature is also a factor.So, it does what it says, in a pretty small form factor.The only issue I have is that it is described as 'ultra-quiet' and 'whisper quiet'. If you want something unnoticeable, then this isn't for you. However, I often have a fan and/or air filter going anyway, so don't need total quiet to sleep. It's about the volume of a blow heater, or a desk fan on medium - there's a gentle whooshing, with little mechanical noise from the internal fan. Having had a brief look as much as I can, it seems to be the type of fan you can buy for computer cases, and I'm sure that it wouldn't be difficult to replace the (doubtlessly cheap) fan with one expressly built to be very quiet.All in all, a good buy, but if using in a bedroom be aware that it does make more noise than you might hope. Nothing too disturbing, though.

I got this product as my bedroom was starting to acquire a mildew aroma that naturally, wasn't welcome. It looks cheap and tacky, but I didn't want to spend much money on a solution that might not work.Let's start by explaining what this item actual is. Inside this unit is a tiny refrigerator that cools down air brought in by a fan. The cooling air then condenses and water droplets form. This is the same way that condensation forms on your caravan window on a cold day and you have your heating on. This liquid is then collected in the lower tray while the air, slightly colder and drier than before, is ejected back into the room.Taking the above into consideration this means there are two noticeable effects. The noise of the fan and the cooling of the air. As I let this machine run practically 24 hours I can attest that the noise is quiet and uniform, it took me a couple of days to adjust to the 'white-noise' effect of this machine running. I can say the noise is similar to a computer gently idling in an office. The cooling of the ejected air is barely noticeable and would likely be easily overwhelmed by natural room heat. I think it might be a couple of degrees change at the very most.Longevity:I have had two events that has resulted in this unit almost dying on me. I must add that it has not died, and is still doing its job now.The first incident was when I noticed the tray had stopped accumulating water. This was about 18 months after I purchased the unit. After a brief inspection I noticed the vents were filled with dust. Using a stiff paint brush I cleared the vents and air could now get into the machine.The second incident was a few days ago. I woke up to find the machine sitting in a pool of water. Again, a further inspection revealed there was a fluff blockage where the water leaves the unit and enters the reservoir tray. Upon removing the offending fluff, I then placed the unit on a rack and let it run for 24 hours. The unit has performed fine since and has returned to my bedside.Please note that none of the inspections and fixes involved removing any screws or components other than the user removable reservoir tray. All maintenance was done with a brush or fingers and ensuring that it was isolated from the electrical supply before doing so.Conclusions:This will be fine for a small room such as a caravan or medium sized bedroom. Keep the unit clean and dust-free and it will look and last for a while. I recommend putting it on an absorbent cloth in case the machine does develop a fault. If you want something you can plug in and leave, then buy something more expensive. This is cheap and will need a bit of attention from time to time. It can be independently turned off and the green LED can be covered over with a little sticker or blu-tack if it bothers you at night.Secondly, I was not paid to write this review and I did not receive the unit for free. I had forgotten how much I paid for the unit and looked it up on Amazon. £36.99. It's a great little unit that is the size of a lunchbox. Easily portable enough to take on caravan holiday.EDIT - The unit died on 18/06/2020. It was full and the yellow light came on. When I replaced the water reservoir, the green light started to flash. This indicates, according to the manual, that it is not working (Yeah... Thanks manual).
