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.

It's drying the air with impressive speed and efficiency. I'm glad I chose this unit after months of obsessive research

I am not using this dehumidifier in the bedroom but the noise system is really great. It makes almost no noise, especially if you run it on low. I think you can use it in the bedroom, won't cause any problems.

It is priced quite reasonable compared to so many different companies out there. It is great for drying clothes too! And no condensation in the shower and on the windows.

This is exactly what I've been looking for! This dehumidifier has compact design, is very easy to use and can easily be moved wherever you want. What I also liked about this deumidifier is that it includes silicon dioxide process instead of cobalt chloride, which is safe for health

This device has a plug-in cable which is great for portability. But I have the feeling that the dehumidifiers with such chargers aren't very powerful. Maybe should try another one without a plug-in cable. let's see how long this will last
