How do the decissant dehumidifiers operate?
Desiccant dehumidifiers use an absorbent material, usually Zeolite, that soaks up water vapour from the air, just like silica gel. The desiccant material is located in the wheel, that slowly rotates. The fan draws the air through that wheel, and the air dries. Moisture is extracted from the desiccant by heating a portion of the wheel not being used to dry the air. This transforms the water back into vapour, which is then passed over a cold plate to cool the mixture and cause the water to condense.
Desiccant dehumidifiers will work best in temperatures from 1℃ up to 40℃. They are also very practical and efficient with a very high capacity for water extraction.
How do compressor dehumidifiers operate?
Compressor dehumidifiers work best at higher temperatures, starting from 15℃. Note that tests are made in the temperature of about 30℃ and humidity level of 80%.
The performance of such dehumidifier tends to depend on environmental conditions, which is referred to as sensible capacity. Note that in the real working environment, the sensible performance of a compressor dehumidifier will be lower, that in the test environment.
What is the difference between the compressor and decissant boat dehumidifier?
The compressor dehumidifier works best at 15℃ or higher. The desiccant dehumidifier, on the other hand, can work at temperatures as low as 1℃. In case you plan to leave the boat dehumidifier without supervision for an extended period during winter, the desiccant dehumidifier is ideal for you. Ensure the dehumidifier has the automatic restart feature, in case the electricity is unstable.
What are the important features to look for in a boat dehumidifier?
The crucial features are the humidistat, automatic reset and a cut off switch. The automatic reset will turn the dehumidifier on when the power source comes back. The humidistat will make sure that your dehumidifier is working on an optimal level, and will turn off as soon as the humidity reaches the pre-set level. The cut-off switch will stop the operation of the dehumidifier, as soon as the water tank is full. There is also a light indicator of such an event that will turn on.

The unit works well, and pulls loads of water, no complaints there. The only thing that did not fit the description is the noise level. I suppose it's a matter of individual tolerance to sounds, but the noise actually bothers me. I hope I can make my peace with it, because the unit does really help me a lot.

I use it in the bathroom, as the steam, the heat and the humidity are already having an effect on the walls and the ceiling. Bu the dehumidifier turned the situation around and now I can be sure we can do a small renovation and the bathroom will be pristine again. The shuts down by itself once the desired humidity level is reached, so you don't have to worry about that.

This is the first unit I've ever gotten. I moved recently and the house is quite beautiful, but old. This means condensation and occasional mould in the humid season. And that means health hazard and all the other fun stuff. Well, after I got this unit I can breathe better and the humidity levels dropped way down. Wonderful purchase.

This unit is great, and the bucket gets full every 2 days or so. It has an indicator for when the bucket is full and it also shuts down automatically to make sure it doesn't overflow. Now even i the light doesn't come on, it's a good rule of thumb to check it every once in a while just to make sure everything is working properly. The size of this unit is appropriate for an average flat, or a small house, and you can freely carry it around and turn on in specific rooms if necessary. Great product.

The humidity in my 2-bedroom flat was dreadful, reading at 87% at the worst. I got this unit to make the space more livable and it worked. After a few days the changes were very evident. Now that I work from home it was a very welcomed change.
