Pohl Schmitt Electric Dehumidifiers for Home, 2200 Cubic Feet (225 sq ft) Portable Compact 17 oz Capacity Mini Quiet Dehumidifier for Bedroom, Bathroom, RV, Laundry Room or Closet White

have a small 8x6 bathroom that has no vent and lots of misty and humidity and I turn it on before the shower and leave on after the shower for a good 1 hr. The AC adapter that goes on the outlet does get a little warm, thus the reason why I don't leave it running too long but it collects a decent size amount of water. UPDATE: 8/2023: it stopped working. It works well but has a short life span. Spend more and get something more reliable.

**Title: A Total Waste of Money – Lasted Less Than 3 Months!** I purchased the Pohl Schmitt Mini Dehumidifier, model MD500, on July 18th, and by September 30th, it was completely dead. For the short time it worked, it was mediocre at best. It barely removed moisture from the air, and now it won't even power on! No warning, no issues leading up to it—just completely unresponsive out of nowhere. I've tried different outlets, checked the plug, and nothing. For a product that only lasted two and a half months, this is beyond unacceptable. I've had cheap dehumidifiers in the past that lasted for years, but this one couldn’t even make it through a season. Pohl Schmitt should be embarrassed by the poor quality of this unit. It’s essentially disposable after less than 90 days of use. I expected way more durability for the price. Save yourself the headache and look elsewhere. This is a waste of money. One star is generous—if I could give zero, I would.

I bought two last year and upon realizing the living room and bedrooms are smelly mildewy musty, I bought two more this year. The units are small, occupying an area about 4"x6". It's electric, and yes, it truly is whispering quiet. Within 3 days, the little powerfully efficient delimiter has extracted 2 cups of water from the air! The unit does not leak. It auto shuts off when full. It has a small light that indicates it's on. I have the unit on a bedside tables in 3 bedroons and atop a desktop in the "computer room". These little units are so very efficient as dehumidifiers in extracting dampness, pulling water, from the air. They need no discs, charcoal, norhing. Just place on a flat surface where you want, plug it in, press the switch to "on" and.. check back later or tomorrow to see how much water it extracted from the air. They're a great supplement to use with canister-type DampRid buckets [I use those inside closets]. And since these require no discs, etc, to work, they're very cost efficient.

As another reviewer mentioned, when the overflow protection switch burns out, the unit will stop working. This is a little micro switch that detects when the tank is full. The yellow light turns on, you remove the tank, empty it, then stick the tank back in, but the unit will not turn back on. You know this is the problem because the yellow light will come on when the tank is full, but the unit will not turn back on again when you reinsert the tank. A very simple fix for this is to dismantle the unit, solder in a new micro switch which are readily available and fairly inexpensive, but you have to have some basics soldering skills. If you always turn the power switch off, remove the tank before it is full and empty it, put the tank back in and turn the power switch back on, this thing will last for years. I have one that is probably five years old now. If you always turn the power switch off when you remove the full tank, empty it, reinsert the empty tank, then turn the power switch on as the instructions say, it will last a lot longer than if you simply pull the tank out, empty it, and re-insert it without turning the power off first which is probably what most people do. It’s a simple design flaw that could’ve been solved either by using a heavier micro switch, or putting a capacitor across the switch terminals. I give it four stars for this issue. Otherwise I really like them. I have seven of them, and they are good for cabinets and closets, and very small places. I have one in my gun safe and I only have to empty it every month or so. I’ve repaired a couple of them. I check them preemptively and do the routine. I talked about above, turning them off before emptying them, and then turning them back on once the tank has been re-inserted.

My bathroom is quite small and lacks ventilation, and after having new windows installed it trapped humidity (even with the door left open) from the shower so badly I was getting mold/mildew growth everywhere. After cleaning that up I wanted to make sure it stayed away, so I invested in this little number (I had another small model I used in my bedroom that worked well) and it has done a remarkable job of keeping my bathroom dry and mold free. It's a very quiet machine to the point you have to lean in close to make sure it's on; how long it takes to fill depends on the relative humidity, but it does work fast. A few issues though have shown up in the time I've had it: 1.) when full, it will typically cycle on and off several times before shutting down, and the FULL indicator light doesn't always come on 2.) it can be a bit messy to drain, as the water pours out not only from the drain hole meant for that, but also from the main fill hole. So be sure you have this over a sink or toilet before you tip it back; and 3.) it's a bit of a power hog! To use another appliance (trimmer or electric razor) in the same outlet, I have to unplug this first, or the other item won't get enough juice to run properly. This could be due to the older wiring in my building, but it's worth noting nonetheless. Other than those small issues it does the job I bought it for, and is well worth the money.

Ordered product, that stopped working. Seller said i can return. We returned, seller never refunded and stopped answering!!!

tan bueno que absorbe la humedad de los fluidos, me quede seco.

My bathroom is really small so this works perfectly. I noticed mould growing on the wall. Started using this and noticed that wall was drying out. Would recommend.

why is this item sold to UK customers - the powerplug and cord is not compatible

I brought Pohl + Schmitt Humidifier on 15 Feb it stops working what to do and y such product on sale on Amazon.
