Guten morgen,
I'm in SE Queensland, where we've had record breaking rainfall and humidity ~15% above average for months. Recently a pipe burst in my house, and Cyclone Alfred, which has triggered a mould problem. It's been treated professionally, but we've had to throw out a bunch of furniture, and the general wetness means the mould professional said investing in some dehumidifiers is a non-negotiable in preventing a resurgence. Thus, I'm looking for recommendations.
I've done some research and it's clear I need a compressor dehumidifier, not a desiccant, as I'm in a warmer part of the country where desiccants won't perform as well. I've also seen some air conditioners such as this one from Kogan that claim dehumidifying figures similar to pure dehumidifiers at a similar price point. If I could pay a similar price and have an aircon + dehumidifier in one then that would be optimal.
This isn't my area of expertise, so the more info the better. Thanks in advance!
i got the 50l one of these, and a smaller one (i think it was 30l?) from NWT -
the 50l i paid $530 ish , ive seen it as low as $510 recently. Price fluctuates all over the place depending where you are getting it from.
im also in SE QLD - we have a real humidity issue on our ground floor as the airflow is poor and theres probably some rising damp issue somewhere too due to some dodgy renos done many years ago prior to us getting the house.
