1. Guide to Choose the Perfect Dehumidifier for Your Home
The northern region is experiencing humid weather, high humidity in the air, making us feel stuffy and uncomfortable. With a reasonably low price, starting from 3-4 million VND, you can own a high-quality dehumidifier suitable for the whole family. But how to choose the right one?
Humid weather, high humidity in the air leads to many respiratory diseases, especially for sensitive individuals such as young children, infants, pregnant women...
If you buy a dehumidifier to address this situation, read the following advice carefully.
Should you buy a dehumidifier?
Many people think that buying a dehumidifier is expensive, as it is only used for a short time in the year and then stored away. Moreover, you can use the dry cooling function on the air conditioner to dehumidify the air.
However, everything has its price. Usually, the wet and humid weather lasts 1 to 1.5 months in the northern region. During this time, it is the breeding season for many bacteria that cause diseases. If you have a small child, you may have wished to buy a dehumidifier earlier to save money on hospitalizing your child for respiratory illnesses.
On the other hand, the air conditioner can indeed remove moisture from the air, but it only works until it reaches the set temperature and then stops, causing a sudden increase in humidity in the room, making it feel hotter and more uncomfortable.
Additionally, the function of a dehumidifier can also work like a clothes dryer (for dehumidifiers with a drying function). Therefore, on damp days, a dehumidifier can both maintain dryness for the family's air and ensure that clothes are always dry.
Things to Note to Buy the Best Dehumidifier
To choose the best dehumidifier for your usage and personal conditions, below, we provide you with some advice:
- Choose the right type of dehumidifier: There are currently 2 main types of dehumidifiers on the market: mechanical dehumidifiers and electric dehumidifiers.
- Traditional Control Dehumidifier:
Traditional control dehumidifiers focus solely on the dehumidifying function and are suitable for rooms under 30m2. However, they come at a quite affordable price, starting from 2-3 million VND.
- Electronic Control Dehumidifier:
Electronic control dehumidifiers are more modern, with additional features, a modern design, and a large dehumidifying capacity. They can be used for large rooms, workshops of hundreds of square meters.
- Pay attention to the dehumidifying capacity of the dehumidifier:
An essential aspect when buying a dehumidifier, similar to air conditioners or fans, is choosing a power level suitable for the room's area. Too small a capacity won't be sufficient for dehumidification, while too large a capacity may be wasteful.
The dehumidifying capacity is indicated by the amount of water extracted per day, measured in liters/day. Typically, dehumidifiers with capacities of 4l/day - 7l/day are suitable for small rooms under 15m2. Dehumidifiers with capacities from 7-14l/day are suitable for rooms ranging from 15-20m2. For larger rooms from 20-30m2, you can choose dehumidifiers with capacities from 15-20l/day...
Additionally, there are mini dehumidifiers with small capacities of around 2-2.5l/day, suitable for small rooms or rooms housing essential electronic systems and machinery..
- Choose a dehumidifier that allows setting the optimal humidity level:
Depending on individual needs and conditions, the desired humidity level in the air could be 70%, 75%, or only 60%... Therefore, for maximum efficiency and assurance, you should buy dehumidifiers that allow setting the optimal humidity level.
- Select additional features when buying a dehumidifier:
Besides the primary dehumidifying function, buyers should also pay attention to features such as clothes drying, odor removal, antibacterial function, timer function, equipped with a humidity sensor to measure the room's humidity level...
Of course, the more additional features, the more expensive the dehumidifier will be. Therefore, you should consider carefully to choose the best dehumidifier.
- Pay attention to the noise level when buying a dehumidifier:
This is an aspect that many people overlook when buying a dehumidifier, causing inconvenience when used in a room where people can't sleep due to the loud operation of the dehumidifier. Therefore, depending on the room's purpose, you should choose a dehumidifier with a maximum noise level of 48dB - for bedrooms, living rooms, or a maximum of 60dB - for separate rooms (clothes drying room).
We hope that with these considerations, you can find the best dehumidifier to keep your home dry and ensure the health of your family members.
