  With the week we've been having in melbourne, you really need one of these.
  It's 95% humidity outside, and inside I'm measuring 70% at 22c.

  Another option for people who don't have a wall mounted AC or a dehumidifier, is to use a portable air conditioner. They're great, because if you unhook the hose the hot air gets sent right back inside, which improves the dehumidifying process. Because summer is over, everyone is clearing out of portable AC's at the moment. Bunnings has new ones for $150 last I checked (Vic)

    So for a portable AC in dehumidifying mode, it's actually better to unhook the exhaust hose and not divert it outside, is it?

    I've always been having to open a window and stick the hose out but would be so much more convenient if I didn't have to.

      I haven't tested in conclusively, but theoretically yes. Hotter air=more moisture absorbed. To get the best result it would be better if you had two rooms next to each other, set the portable ac in one room with the hose venting to the other and then switched the setup around every few hours, but it'll work fine setup in one room.

      That's essentially all a dehumidifier is, just a portable ac with a few tweaks to maximize efficiency.

        Where does the moisture go when you do this?

          @avjaMASH: i try last few days with portable AC, i need to switch on bathroom fan to get air out to award moisture up the the ceiling. so dehumidifier is my next toy to buy.

          it's bring up a question is compressor is not good preference below 20C, therefore, is that working OZ's winter ?

            wfdTamar on 26/03/2021 - 07:23

            @laicatwah: Correct. For winter you want a desiccant dehumidifier.

          @avjaMASH: It gets condensed and collects at a reservoir at the back. You need to empty it every so often

    I don't think that is true. The hot air exhaust is where the moisture is.

    Also, the moisture (water) has to go somewhere… where do you think it is going?

    If I'm not wrong, I think a proper dehumidifier has a reservoir that collects the water pulled out from the air. I really don't know this… but does a portable air conditioner have one as well?

      My portable AC has a reservoir that needs emptying every few hours in dehumidifying mode.

      Not sure how moist the air is coming out of the tube, or if it's just hot air.

  Sorry - dupe.

  This vs average air con with dry mode?

  I have the size up from this (35L) and it’s been excellent, getting plenty of rain and it fills up its reservoir (6L) twice a day at the moment. Also takes the damp smell out of the air.

  In a pinch, it can also help with needing to dry clothes indoors. They get a mild but noticeable odour though.

  I have this dehumidifier and I can honestly say it's amazing. I've found it to be much more efficient than the Delonghi Ariadry Slimline Dehumidifier.

  Their customer support is also great.

  One word of advice, if you've never owned a humidifier and you're aiming to run one while you sleep, don't. Unless you're use to having something of a similar noise running while you sleep, it will be extremely difficult. It has a compressor, so it will be difficult to sleep with.

    Also with the air being dry it is uncomfortable to breathe.

  I have tried aircon to dehumidify, does not work well, bought a dehumidifier and it works really well. I also dry my laundry indoors, close them in my laundry with the dehumidifier and it dries them up fast with the need to damage them in the clothes dryer.

  Don't assume using aircon will work well. In fact most manufacturers will tell you they have limits, eg. Aircon dehumidifiers only drop by humidity to 68% and by no more that 8% of the room's humidity if aircon was not on.

    outlander on 26/03/2021 - 11:02

    Oh really? That sucks.

    I have personally used a portable aircon and measured humidity drop from 70% to 50%, but I agree it's not exactly what they were designed for so there's going to be limitations and model specific performance variations. I haven't tested them conclusively though so I can't say anything with anymore than 80% confidence.

    I guess it depends on whether you need something to run all the time, or just get you though a rough patch.

    For me it's the latter.

    Keep in mind if that's refering to portable air conditioners, it might be based on using them as directed (ie hose out the window). Because portable aircons blow across the condensor and out the window, and that air has to come from somewhere, they are constantly drawing fresh air into the room. If that air is from outside, and outside is 95% humidity, then it's a losing battle, as for every unit of air the portable ac dehumidifies, another 10th of a unit of moist air is added to the room.
    So unhooking the hose and keeping the room sealed should improve its effectiveness quite dramatically.
