Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Purchase Criteria: Last month I moved into an older home that had some issues with leaks and had lots of moisture. My clothes, bedding, etc. were always feeling damp and my bedroom just felt uncomfortable in general. I decided the best thing for me to do was to purchase a dehumidifier. My main criteria heading into this purchase were price (I'm a college student so I'm on a fairly tight budget), size (didn't want a huge machine clogging up my already limited space), and effectiveness. Considerations: If you’re like me, you like to consider many different options and weigh the pros and cons of each before making a decision. Before making a purchase I considered 3 models: Pro Breeze PB-03-US Mini 2000ml ($89.99), Hysure Quiet Portable 18oz ($79.99), and the Afloia Electric Home Dehumidifier 700ml ($49.99). While looking at reviews and spec comparisons for all three products the details were nearly identical excluding tank size and price. The Afloia model was the cheapest at $49.99 and also had a medium sized tank so I decided to purchase it. Something I didn’t consider during the purchasing process was the setup of the dehumidifier once I received it. I was ecstatic to find that all I had to do was take it out of the box, plug it in and it was ready to go! The white and teal color scheme also gives it a sleek modern look so it’s not an eyesore. Thoughts After One Week: After a week of using this dehumidifier I have already noticed a significant change in the moisture level in my bedroom! I haven't woken up feeling damp sheets, nor have I had to deal with clothes feeling moist and uncomfortable. Another pleasant side effect has been my room smelling better (I hadn't even actually noticed it smelled bad prior to this) and feeling less muggy than before. The size is also fantastic; it's perfect for use in a bedroom, office, etc.The 700ml tank size is optimal as well as I only need to empty it once every couple of days. The one downside is the price ($50 is a little more than I originally budgeted), but compared to other models I looked at the Afloia model was one of the cheaper options so I don’t think I would’ve gotten much better. All in all I'm very satisfied with this purchase, it hit on two out of the three criteria I was hoping for. It's very portable, easy to place anywhere and has been very effective at removing the excess moisture. If you’re looking for a portable, user friendly, effective dehumidifier for a bedroom or office than this model is right for you.
