The Advantages Of Mini Dehumidifiers

By Haley Richard


Dehumidifiers, as the name suggests, are solutions to the ordinary household problem of unpleasant dampness in various areas of the house. Wetness mostly occurs in the kitchen walls, bathrooms and bedrooms. Dampness will bring about shedding and peeling off of wall papers and the effect is a terrible sight. A problem with big dehumidifiers is that they take up plenty of spaces in the room. Mini dehumidifiers are remedies to this problem.

They reduce humidity of our rooms. As a result, there will be no peeling off of wall papers and gathering of molds and mildews on clothes and constant sneezing and coughing. The bad odor brought about by the dampness will also be eliminated.

The small kinds are as helpful as the large kinds. There are two types of small dehumidifiers; the mini and the portable. Both can be easily carried from one place to another as long as desired. They do not occupy too much space. A mini dehumidifier will be able to serve a room with an area of thirty square feet while a portable will be able to serve a room with an area of one hundred square feet.

The maximum water capacity of mini ones are less than twenty ounces; beyond which, an alarm will go off or a light will blink signaling that it has already held enough water. They contain special packets which pull humidity from the air; this way, they do not need to be plugged to an electrical socket. Portables can hold much more water but they also take up a lot of energy and electricity.

They contain a desiccant, the chemical agent which helps the device to remove moisture and dry up a place. The chemical component of this dessicant is called silica gel. This is the special packet mentioned above.

If you want to buy a dehumidifier, consider some important issues. A mini cannot be used for large areas such as for an entire house. You have to get a large one for that because a large one can dehumidify an area of three thousand square feet. Portable ones, like large ones, can consume a lot of electricity because of the energy they need.

Mini dehumidifiers can cost somewhere between twenty to fifty dollars and are available for order online. You can try to shop for one online, there may be more variety to choose from. There also may be other discounts available on the Internet rather than in stores. You will need to determine how much you want to spend the start your search from there.
