Excessive moisture can cause problems such as slippery floors, damp and moldy walls, peeling skin, and damage to household appliances. Dehumidifiers, also known as dehumidifiers, are able to effectively solve these problems. However, there are many dehumidifier vendors in the current market who falsely label parameters, exaggerate dehumidification performance, and even use inferior materials. Not only are these dehumidifiers unable to effectively dehumidify, but they also pollute the air and may even cause safety hazards such as circuit shorts, leakage and **. So, does a dehumidifier work when the room is damp?As a small household appliance evaluator, I will analyze the dehumidifier in detail from two aspects: the advantages of high-quality dehumidifiers and the disadvantages of inferior dehumidifiers, hoping to help you buy.
These are some of the home dehumidifiers I've reviewed, including the best-selling brands on the market right now.
1. Is it effective to use a dehumidifier for damp rooms?Six benefits for a livable space
The original intention of buying a dehumidifier is to solve the problem of excessive moisture and create a comfortable and healthy home environment for us. A good dehumidifier not only has a significant dehumidifying effect, but also effectively prevents the growth of mold and bacteria, thereby extending the life of furniture and appliances. Here, I summarize the six advantages of dehumidifiers for you, and I hope it can help you in your purchase.
Benefits:: Reduces humidity and balances indoor humidity
The dehumidifier condenses the moisture in the air into water droplets through an efficient condensing system, which is conveyed to the chassis through internal pipes for storage. When the air is dry, the dehumidifier releases this stored moisture back into the air, and after multiple cycles, the humidity in the room can be maintained in a relatively comfortable range adapted to the human body.
Benefits:: Inhibits the growth of germs and reduces the risk of allergies
In an environment with high humidity, bacteria and fungi are prone to multiply in large numbers and multiply rapidly, bringing health risks. The dehumidifier can effectively reduce the indoor humidity, stabilize the humidity at about 60%, and inhibit the growth rate of bacteria and fungi. At the same time, the dehumidifier is equipped with sterilization technology and filtration system, which can absorb dust, pollen and other substances, reduce impurities in the air, and eliminate peculiar and musty odors. For people who are prone to allergies, the dehumidifier is undoubtedly an intimate hypoallergenic little assistant, and it is worth buying!
Benefits:ImproveHuman bodyComfort
In a dry environment, the human body loses water faster, and symptoms such as nasal itching, dry mouth, and peeling may occur. In a humid environment, people will feel stuffy, which will reduce the comfort of our lives. Dehumidifiers can remove moisture and maintain humidity at a relatively low level, making our body feel more comfortable, which has certain benefits for our health.
Benefits:: Shorten to dryClothingtime
In southward or rainy weather, it is difficult to dry clothes indoors due to high air humidity. At this time, in addition to using an expensive dryer, we can also choose to use a dehumidifier. The dehumidifier can not only reduce the air humidity, but also play a certain drying role, accelerate the drying speed of the clothes, so that the clothes can return to drying faster.
Benefits:Protect the furnitureto prolong the service life
In humid environments, furniture tends to absorb moisture from the air, leading to problems such as moisture, swelling, deformation, and odors. In particular, wood and fabric furniture are difficult to use normally when exposed to moisture. The dehumidifier can reduce the humidity of the indoor air and effectively avoid moisture on the furniture, thereby extending the service life of the furniture.
Benefits:: AvoidElectrical equipment is dampDamage
In a high humidity environment, electrical equipment is susceptible to moisture, resulting in problems such as short circuits and damage to circuits. This will not only affect the normal use of electrical appliances, but may also cause safety hazards. The use of dehumidifiers can effectively control indoor humidity and prevent electrical equipment from being damaged by moisture, thereby prolonging the service life of electrical equipment and ensuring home safety.
2. Is the dehumidifier harmful?There are five major hazards to keep in mind
Is it effective to use a dehumidifier when the room is damp?A good dehumidifier certainly works. However, there are some unscrupulous businesses in the current market, in order to increase sales and profits, using methods such as cutting corners, using inferior materials, false standard parameters and false publicity. Not only are these inferior dehumidifiers unable to dehumidify effectively, but they also release harmful gases during operation and pollute indoor air. Long-term inhalation of these harmful gases by the human body can cause irreversible damage to the kidneys and lungs. In addition, these inferior dehumidifiers can also be a safety hazard, as their inaccurate workmanship can lead to problems such as circuit shorts, leakage, or **.
The following chart is a negative evaluation of dehumidifiers compiled by professional institutions, from which it can be seen that "odor pollutes the air", which is a hazard that many people are concerned about. On the basis of this chart, I have summarized the five disadvantages of dehumidifiers for you to help you better and comprehensively dehumidify.
Low-priced products sacrifice quality and endanger human health
In order to attract more consumers, many dehumidifier businesses have adopted a strategy of lowering**. However, these price reductions are not achieved by reducing intermediate links, but by sacrificing quality and using inferior compressors and dehumidification components. Although these dehumidifiers are inexpensive, they are of very poor quality, have poor dehumidification performance, are not durable, and pollute the air. Long-term use of these inferior dehumidifiers can have adverse effects on our respiratory system and even cardiopulmonary function. Therefore, when buying a dehumidifier, we should not only pay attention to the first, but also pay attention to quality and performance, so as not to bring health risks to ourselves.
The parameters are falsely marked, and the actual performance is average
The parameter to test the dehumidification effect of the dehumidifier is the dehumidification capacity, but many businesses will cheat on this indicator and sell inferior dehumidifiers. The amount of dehumidification varies according to the real-time temperature, humidity and environmental complexity of the place of use, so it is difficult to have a unified standard. Some businesses will use false reports to advertise large dehumidification volumes and attract consumers to buy them. However, in actual use, it is difficult for these dehumidifiers to achieve the dehumidification effect and dehumidification area advertised by the merchants, and they cannot effectively dehumidify. This will cause moisture damage to the household appliances, and our bodies and our families will continue to be infested by moisture, which is extremely harmful.
Internet celebrity products have nothing to show for themselves, and they are easy to triggerSafety hazards
On the market, we can often see some dehumidifier products endorsed by celebrities or Internet celebrities. Most of these dehumidifiers are not professional, because many businesses pay more attention to back-end marketing and despise the investment in front-end research and development. Under the influence of celebrities and influencers, consumers are prone to impulse purchases. However, after using it, people will find that the quality of these dehumidifiers is very poor, and they basically cannot achieve the dehumidification effect advertised by the merchants. The return threshold of this type of product is limited, and the return cycle is long, which is very inconvenient. What's more worrying is that these dehumidifiers may also have potential safety hazards, such as leakage, leakage, ** and other problems.
Exaggerating dehumidification performance,The actual dehumidification effect is poor
Many businesses have problems with false claims about dehumidification performance. The amount of dehumidification is affected by a variety of factors such as temperature, humidity and environmental complexity, but the national standard only uses a single temperature, humidity and environment for testing, which provides businesses with the opportunity to exploit loopholes. In order to create a dehumidification performance test report that is beneficial to their products, some businesses use a single temperature, humidity and environment for monitoring, but when actually used, the dehumidification effect is not significant due to the different temperature and environment from the merchant's testing. Not only does this cost consumers money, but it also fails to improve the humid indoor environment.
NoneProfessional productsEasyRaw dust, polluting the air
In the market, many dehumidifier products are labeled as having the function of purifying the air. However, due to the lack of professional maternal and infant level dust and mildew removal technology, these dehumidifiers are often unable to effectively remove dust and mold from the air in actual use. Long-term use of these dehumidifiers not only fails to improve indoor air quality, but can lead to air pollution and even pose a threat to human health.
3. How to choose a dehumidifier?Eighth** purchase skills to remember!
In the previous content, we have delved into the functional role of high-quality dehumidifiers and the hazards of low-quality dehumidifiers. For the question "Is a dehumidifier effective when the room is damp?"The answer to this question is undoubtedly yes. Professional and mature research and development technology of high-quality dehumidifiers can indeed help us solve the problem of moisture and create a comfortable and healthy living environment. However, choosing the right dehumidifier is not easy. Inferior dehumidifiers not only fail to dehumidify effectively, but also pollute the air and even endanger our health. Based on experience, I have summarized the following eight tips for choosing a dehumidifier, hoping to provide you with some help.
Buying tips: Prefer brands with strong professional and technical strength
These specialist brands typically invest a lot of time and resources in R&D and testing to ensure the performance and safety of their dehumidifiers. They use advanced dehumidification technology to optimize the stability and energy consumption of the control system, while strictly controlling the quality of components and the assembly process. In contrast, non-professional inferior dehumidifiers have obvious technical shortcomings. Their dehumidification effect is far inferior to that of professional brands, and it can easily lead to air pollution during use.
Buying tipsYesRightLack of professional dust collection technology productsBe careful
We need to be wary of unprofessional products that lack professional dust collection technology. These products are often designed with inferior raw materials and rough internal structures in order to reduce costs. Long-term use of such a dehumidifier can easily lead to the generation of dust, impurities, mold, etc., and then emit harmful substances and seriously pollute the indoor air.
Buying tipsSelection of condenser and evaporatorVery important
At present, many dehumidifiers on the market use aluminum refrigeration condensers and evaporators in order to reduce costs. However, aluminum's properties are relatively unstable, resulting in unstable dehumidification properties and a relatively short service life. In contrast, high-quality dehumidifiers are more inclined to use hydrophilic aluminum foil pure copper condensers and evaporators. Although the material has a relatively high quality, its overall mass is heavier, and it has excellent strength and corrosion resistance. It is able to withstand high pressure and high temperature environments, thus guaranteeing the stable operation of the dehumidifier. The design of the hydrophilic aluminum foil pure copper condenser and evaporator also increases the contact area with moisture, thus improving dehumidification performance.
Buying tips: To chooseProducts equipped with double-row copper tubes
In the market, dehumidifiers mainly use double-row copper pipes and single-row copper pipes as heat dissipation elements. Compared with single-row copper tubes, double-row copper tubes have better heat dissipation performance and can dissipate indoor heat faster, thereby improving cooling efficiency. The durability of a dehumidifier is positively correlated with the thickness and copper content of the copper pipes used. Large-scale and high-quality dehumidifiers have higher requirements for the thickness of copper pipes. For household dehumidifiers, we should give preference to copper pipe thickness at 0Products with a copper content of more than 20mm and a copper content of 99% or more.
Buying tips: Preferably products equipped with high-quality compressors
When choosing a dehumidifier, the quality of the compressor is crucial, as it can directly affect the performance and life of the dehumidifier. At present, the first echelon compressor brands in the market include Panasonic, Toshiba, Meizhi, etc. These brands have a high level of materials and craftsmanship in the manufacture of compressors, so when choosing a dehumidifier, we should give priority to products using these brands of compressors. In contrast, inferior compressors not only have poor dehumidification efficiency, but also make more noise, and their performance is easily consumed and prone to failure.
Buying tips: Be careful with brands that can be tried for a long time without reason
This kind of routine is easy for many people to fall for, because it may seem that the ultra-long trial period is very secure, but once you want to return the goods, you need to charge high return shipping costs.
Buying tipsDehumidifiers must consider durability
High-quality dehumidifiers use high-quality dehumidification components and compressors, which are generally sold at a higher price, while low-quality dehumidifiers use compressors and condensing devices, etc., and the durability will be very poor. From the perspective of service time, high-quality dehumidifiers are longer than inferior dehumidifiers, so the former is more cost-effective.
Buying tips: PurchaseProducts with better material selection
If the parts of the dehumidifier are not assembled tightly enough, coupled with the poor workmanship materials, resulting in the overall workmanship is not precise enough, it is easy to produce large abnormal noise during the operation of the dehumidifier. This abnormal noise will not only affect our daily life and work, but may also have a negative impact on our rest.
Earlier, we deeply analyzed the problem of whether the dehumidifier is effective for dampness in the room, and we know that there are many dehumidifier merchants on the market who falsely advertise and falsely report the parameters, and the dehumidifier manufactured not only cannot dehumidify, but also creates dust and various impurities, pollutes the air and endangers human health. Therefore, we need to know which dehumidifiers work well. In order to help you make a better choice, I will share with you the evaluation data of 11 common dehumidifiers by professional organizations. Through the evaluation data of these professional institutions, we can better select high-quality professional dehumidifiers.

FourthHow the dehumidifier works
After understanding the benefits of a high-quality dehumidifier, the disadvantages of a low-quality dehumidifier, and the tips for choosing, let's take a closer look at how a dehumidifier works. Only by knowing how the dehumidifier works can we use it better.
The working principle of the dehumidifier is to use the refrigerant to condense the moisture in the air into water through the refrigeration cycle, so as to achieve the purpose of dehumidification. After the moist air is sucked into the dehumidifier, it is first filtered through a filter screen to remove dust and impurities. Then, the air enters the chiller, where the refrigerant evaporates at low pressure, absorbing moisture from the air and lowering the cooler surface temperature. As the moist air passes through the chiller, the moisture in it is condensed into small droplets, which subsequently fall into the tank or are discharged through the drain. The dry air after the dehumidification process is then heated by a heater to bring the temperature back to the comfort zone and finally discharged from the dehumidifier. Through this process, the dehumidifier effectively reduces the indoor humidity and creates a more comfortable environment for us.
Is it effective to use a dehumidifier when the room is damp?When faced with the problem of dampness in the room, a dehumidifier is indeed an effective solution. By delving into the pros and cons of dehumidifiers and how to choose them, we learned that dehumidifiers have significant advantages in maintaining indoor humidity, reducing bacterial and mold growth, and protecting household items from moisture. However, we should also be wary of some low-quality dehumidifier products on the market. These products may be due to insufficient materials or poor workmanship, resulting in poor performance, loud noise, dust pollution and other problems, and may even cause potential harm to the health of users. So be sure to keep your eyes peeled and choose a professional and high-quality dehumidifier.
