SVDEC15PLUSEBTE

KG electronics ebay currently has the 16 litre ausclimate NWT dehumidifier for $211.65 with code PLUSEBTE (or $199.20 with ebay plus).

Decent price for an Ausclimate dehumidifier (compresor type). I bought the same unit 6 months ago (paid $320) and it's been a godsend with the wet weather we've been having.

This is a smaller unit so good for smaller bedrooms, bathrooms, laundries etc. More info at https://www.ausclimate.com.au/products/wdh-316db-nwt-compact…

  hot price after SB & Wpac ebay ~20% off. You'd be shagaroo'd if you paid $275 a few weeks ago

    Yep — a word of warning to people looking for a dehumidifier: you want to get the biggest, most powerful machine you can afford. Don't fall for the trap of getting a smaller cheaper machine like this one, they're terribly energy inefficient and consume MUCH more power over a longer period of time to draw out the same amount of water from the air.

    I recommend getting something like a 35L model at the minimum, and preferably a 50L model if you can afford it. They do draw more power but they also get the job done quicker so they turn off much earlier (the vast majority of all models can turn themselves off once they reach a preset relative humidity level).

    I made the mistake of buying a dinky cheap little 10L compressor model (not from Ausclimate, it was a Shinco) and it performs absolutely terribly, at an indoor temperature of 16 degrees C it can't even get the RH below 60% in a small bedroom while running 24/7 — and this was a 5-star reviewed product on Amazon (don't trust the user reviews, obviously). I then got the Ausclimate 35L and 50L models and they are amazing and work brilliantly.

    Note that I'm talking about compressor dehumidifiers, not dessicant dehumidifiers (which work by continually heating up dessicant beads that pull moisture out of the air).

    If you live in a very cold area of Australia, you may be better of getting a dessicant dehumidifier, as compressor dehumidifiers lose the majority of their efficiency at temperatures below approximately 20 degrees Celsius. In fact, usually the quoted moisture removal performance is specified for an ideal scenario at 30 degrees C and 80% RH.

    Conversely, compressor dehumidifiers excel in hot and humid weather and are very energy efficient in that scenario.

    I don't personally have experience with this Ausclimate 16L model, but I would caution people to stretch their budget and go for the bigger and more powerful models whenever possible.

    Here is a good article about dehumidifiers and their energy efficiency (or inefficiency, in the case of smaller machines):
    https://www.dehumidifierbuyersguide.com/energy-efficiency/

    (My own testing with KP115 energy meter connected to Home Assistant showed even more dramatic results than in the article)

    This is even more relevant nowadays with high electricity prices — dehumidifers consume a significant amount of energy, so you want to get the most out of them as possible.

      Thanks for sharing, definitely an interesting read. I have this 16L compressor unit and bought another, they seem to be enough for the small bedrooms they are in, but I will be thinking more about the efficiency for later purchases.

      We also have a desiccant one and use that mostly in winter, warms the room up more than the compressor unit, which is a bonus in winter.
