Buying A Bathroom Dehumidifier

One of the most common places that are prone to dampness and mildew perhaps is the bathroom, and this is not in the least surprising because bathrooms are obviously one of the dampest rooms around the home. Unfortunately, bathrooms have the double issue in that they are also likely to be one of the smaller rooms in the home (since you don’t need much space in a bathroom) and as such, many dehumidifiers might not be able to able to be placed in a convenient location around the bathroom.

What you need to do in that case, is to choose a smaller or mini version of the dehumidifier unit that is especially made for small, tight spaces and still able to be tucked away in a corner out of everyone’s way. These smaller units will only accumulate about 16 ounces of moisture in a day perhaps, and these will be priced anywhere from $48 to $60 depending on the type and model you get, the ones that can extract about 30 to 40 pints a day can range from $158 to $210.

Here are the top five units, any of which would be an excellent choice for your bathroom dehumidifier.

  • One of the smaller, petite versions of the dehumidifier is the Eva-dry Electric Petite bathroom dehumidifier, an ideal unit that is highly suitable for smaller rooms that don’t have a lot of space like your bathrooms for example. You can also place them in your bedrooms or storerooms and even closets, any small area where moisture can gather. This petite unit does not come with a compressor, as it uses peltier technology, and it comes with a removable storage tank as well. The tank can maybe hold up to 16 ounces of water and you don’t have to worry about keeping an eye on it because once it is full, the automatic turn-off switch is activated.
  • Another mini bathroom dehumidifier you may come across is the ADS 400 NewAir Mini Dehumidifier, a mini and light unit which also uses the peltier technology so it is quiet yet effective. Able to absorb up to 10 ounces of moisture in a day, this unit is ideal for tiny indoor spaces that are otherwise hard to dehumidify.
