hOmeLabs Small Space Dehumidifier with Auto Shut Off - Compact and Portable

Helpful in extra rooms that are used infrequently. Also perfect in windowless bathrooms. We have gotten several of these and one kapooted after maybe six months, but the rest are all going strong. Extremely useful and easy to use. The light does indicate when it needs to be emptied. When it's still okay it is green and when it needs changed it turns amber. They make a little bit of noise like a small desk fan. No odors. None of the ones we have has ever proved electrically hazardous. All have operated safely. The frequency of emptying depends on the size and humidity level of the room it is in. It contains the water well and by design cannot leak as long as all the pieces are intact. It will turn off when it is full, but the indicator light will remain on. The unit doesn't really get warm when running so heat isn't an issue with these. Doesn't take up much space so it can easily sit on top of a cabinet, counter or shelf.

i live in hawaii, and was using this for a small windowless room (11x9ft) where i store things and do hobby projects. for the first few weeks i had this, it did an ok job collecting water. nothing too great. the humidity gauge on the wall didn't change significantly but it was still ok. i'd empty the collection tank maybe every 4 or 5 days. then a while went by before i realized i hadn't had to empty it in a long time. and mold began to grow in the collection tank! i emptied it and cleaned it out with uncooked rice and rubbing alcohol (pro tip for when you can't reach something with a brush or scrubber) then put it back in. i checked everything electrical. the outlet is fine, the surge protector is fine, the AC adapter is fine, the plug in port is fine, the indicator light is on, yet i didn't see any water collection for weeks. i'm gonna call this broken. and of course, as with almost everything on amazon, it lasted just long enough to pass the return eligibility date, and now it's just sitting there on my desk, plugged in and useless. i finally decided to leave a review about it today. my advice would be to find something with a better record of reliability, because that's what i plan to do.

The media could not be loaded. Bye-bye moisture! Not a paid review. Researched a lot looking for something reliable and space saving. I’ve used this product nonstop for months! Completely reliable. Very portable and easy to use. Light indicates when it’s full and automatically shuts. It’s a work horse—pulls tons of moisture out of the air. Doesn’t have complicated bells and whistles—just does what it’s supposed to do. The top pops off to clean the filter area. It’s very quiet. Doesn’t leak, easy to empty.

I'm curious about the negative reviews here. My apartment has a serious mold problem that my landlord refuses to fix. I installed one of these units near two windows with excessive mold. It collects a full container of water every two days and has for a month. It certainly doesn't dehumidify the range that it specifies (150 cubic feet: no. More like 7-14 cubic feet, if I can guess), but it works. I've noticed a huge decrease in mold in my window sills and in the corners of the room. My next step is to buy a hydrometer and measure the change in a more concrete manner.There may be inconsistency in the manufacturing; if your unit isn't collecting water, it might be defective. Try returning it and getting another.As for noise, it creates a small amount of white noise. My last apartment had a massive dehumidifier that was so loud that it frightened my pets. People describing this unit as 'quiet' are probably comparing it to larger, louder dehumidifiers. If you've never had a dehumidifier, you will definitely notice a new sound in your living space, but for me it tends to fade into the background.I think I'll probably end up buying two more, one for the kitchen and one for the bedroom. Wish that it had a larger range, but I honestly can't think of anything negative about this unit except the deceptive advertising behind falsely stating such a large range.

Purchased one in 2019 for my laundry closet in Central Humidity FL & it still makes me smile with its very quiet service of helping to keep my home drier—a long with some bigger dehumidifiers scattered around. I swish it with a bit of 70% alcohol after each empty, to keep its bucket clean and use a small vacuum brush, inside & out about 2-3 X/year to keep the dust bunnies from clogging it up! Dehumidifiers don’t work on a dime, so keep it & your ceiling fans (which also help dehumidify the air, furniture, walls,…) on all of the time during the humid times of the year to be most effective. Would love to find bigger ones, by this company, to replace my other much noisier ones!

This tiny thing is incredible. I was so desperate for the bad smell and mildew in my master bathroom. The problem is I have a master closet attached to the bathroom where I keep all towels and clothes. After few months I noticed a bad smell in everything with mildew everywhere. Although I have a vent in the bathroom that I keep on all the time . It is not effective at all. I live in rental therefore, I had to find a solution. I searched a lot until I found this dehumidifier. After reading the reviews and its decent price, decided to give a try. I do not regret it!!!!! I was anazed by how much water it takes from the bathroom. It is small and does not need any space. It shuts off automatically when the reservoir is full. I keep it on all day because it is so quite that sometime I have to check if it is on. After more than month of round the clock use, my bathroom is dry!! No nasty odors in my clothes and towels. The mildew almost disappeared. I am so happy with it. I wi get another one for the smaller bathroom. If you are on the fence, just get it.
