Pro Breeze® 500ml Premium Dehumidifier for Damp, Mould, Moisture in Home, Kitchen, Bedroom, Caravan, Office, Garage (White & Blue, 500ml)

Absolutely brilliant little machine. So quiet but does it's job. Collects water from the atmosphere. Has helped so much with the damp in our smallest bedroom. Easy to empty too

I bought this to dehumidify my bedroom, which feels far warmer than it is due to humidity, leading to uncomfortable nights' sleep and that feeling that you can't get properly dry after a shower, for example. I plugged it in in the late afternoon, and it certainly made a difference. Although, I would say (like other reviewers) that it takes some time to actually start doing its job. This is because of the way Peltier effect works, and means it should be left on to work effectively. There's a pretty large heatsink of what looks like machined aluminium inside the machine, finned to provide surface area, and the Peltier device needs to bring the temperature of this heatsink down to well below ambient temperature for moisture to start condensing on it. After about 6 hours it started condensation, and the first few drops dribbled down into the reservoir. Over the next 6 hours, it produced a good amount of water, and the air in the room feels appreciably drier and more comfortable. I expect it would have no trouble extracting the claimed 500ml/day, depending on conditions (it can't get water out of the air if the air's already pretty dry!). Ambient temperature is also a factor. So, it does what it says, in a pretty small form factor. The only issue I have is that it is described as 'ultra-quiet' and 'whisper quiet'. If you want something unnoticeable, then this isn't for you. However, I often have a fan and/or air filter going anyway, so don't need total quiet to sleep. It's about the volume of a blow heater, or a desk fan on medium - there's a gentle whooshing, with little mechanical noise from the internal fan. Having had a brief look as much as I can, it seems to be the type of fan you can buy for computer cases, and I'm sure that it wouldn't be difficult to replace the (doubtlessly cheap) fan with one expressly built to be very quiet. All in all, a good buy, but if using in a bedroom be aware that it does make more noise than you might hope. Nothing too disturbing, though.

Bought this to put in my double garage/man cave. As an avid motorcycle nut I spend many hours every week maintaining and "playing " with my toys , reorganizing tools and enjoying a few beers without having to listen to the wife! When the weather's cold outside (8 months of the year) , anything metal gets covered in a fine film of moisture due to condensation which causes surface rust if left, particularly irritating on all the tools. Although most of it disappears once the gas heater has been on for a while, it is hassle wiping the surfaces dry and damaging if left in the long term! I already own a full size dehumidifier which is used in the house to remove the moisture from the room/s the laundry is hung out in, which is extremely efficient, however I was told by the wife that " no way you will be using it out there, it cost £140 and it will get ruined!" So I searched Amazon, £20 for a plastic box needing monthly refills at £10 a time, The Pro Breeze units at £40 or £60 or ones like my existing unit at £120 plus, albeit twice as efficient and capable of holding one and a half litres of water. I decided to gamble £40 and ordered the Pro Breeze Compact, 4x smaller, a third of the capacity, half the performance but a quarter of the price of full size models. Put it in my garage as soon as it arrived, it is small, unobtrusive and quiet, after 8 days the units auto shut off function kicked in as the tank was full so emptied the 500ml of water out and straight back on. I have had it 2 weeks now and it has been fantastic, so quiet I forget it's there and most importantly condensation free tools and bikes!!! Absolutely fantastic product and best value by miles.

Does a good job and is quiet enough not to be annoying.

Works well at dehumidifying the room and easy to remove water once collected. Doesn’t take up too much space and is silent enough to be ignored if sleeping in the same room. It is easy enough to use, just plug in and switch on and it will do the rest of the work. Only downside being that the device gave up on me after 1 year of good use.

I bought this at the end of November 2016 for our dining room as the kitchen adjoins it and we hoped it would reduce the condensation on the UPVC French windows overnight. We only use it in for some of the winter months and then it is cleaned up and stored in the cupboard under the stairs. So we only used it Nov, Dec, 2016 and Jan, Feb 2017 AND same 2017/18. We got it out the other day to put in into as the condensation is starting to build up....and I am pretty shocked quite frankly. Well shocked doesn't begin to describe it actually. We switch the unit on overnight - from about midnight to 6am - and then turn it off when we get up, and it's off for the rest of the day. Well that's what we did last year. However, the first night we put it I went to bed but two hours later came down for some water and I could smell burning immediately as I opened the living room door. Strong smell. Lights went on, walked through to back room (dining room) and could see smoke coming from the dehumidifier. I immediately yanked the plug out. You can see from the images that the plastic cover inside was burning and the on/of circuit board switch is totally burnt out and the wire burnt and detached. So my wife and I are left wondering what may have happened if I hadn't gone down for more water. I very rarely do! I cannot find a way of getting hold of the company that sold this to me through Amazon so I am posting this warning here. This is the Pro Breeze with the black power block sold by One Retail Group through Amazon. I looked through the reviews and have noticed someone else's caught fire as well. --update 28/11/2018 After scouring every review for this product, and the comments, I eventually found a contact email for someone at One Retail Group...so I used that address to report this issue. I was contacted within 48 hours by someone at One Retail Group and then offered a refund or replacement. I was initially set on a refund but instead asked for a replacement on the condition that they were sure that the products were safe now. A replacement product was promptly dispatched and I received it 48 hours later, so I took that to mean that they were absolutely sure it was safe now. For your information: the replacement looks EXACTLY the same as the first one, EXCEPT for one very important difference: it does NOT have a big black power block. Instead the unit has a power lead and that it plugs directly into the mains. So I am guessing that the absence of the big power block is pointing towards the power block being the issue. Indeed, on refection, I do recall touching the block once and it felt very hot. And, looking through the reviews here I can see a good number of photos of melted power blocks and reports of the block not working. It is important to me that I provide a fair and balanced review. On that basis, I will say that I am very pleased that this company - once I had uncovered a contact email for them - responded quickly and professionally to my email to report this problem. They dealt with the matter without any nonsense or hesitation, and the replacement product they sent out has been running for over 100 hours continuously and it isn't even warm: I chose to 'run it in' to make certain it was okay for my own peace of mind. It seems very clear that whatever problems the last 'version' had seem to have been eradicated in this version without the power block. My advice to anyone having any issues with this product is to contact the company directly. I contacted Ali Noori, the customer service contact using the email address [email protected]. They were very professional and accommodating and resolved the matter without any fuss. As a note, I do not feel it would be appropriate for me to remove my original review given the nature of what occurred. However, I do think it is entirely proper and fair to let people know how One Retail Group dealt with this issue when I contacted them and to especially highlight their professional response and readiness to resolve the issue quickly and without fuss.

In a 5m sq bedroom I've found that placing the unit on the windowsill pointing toward the window does lower the window condensation directly in front of the unit in the morning. However, the condensation on the top sash is still there. I have the bedroom door shut (you have to, obviously, otherwise it's effectively trying to work over a bigger air mass than what it's designed for which would render it pointless). It's about the size of a rugby ball so it's an obvious thing to have on the sill, and the drawer colour doesn't really fit with my bedroom colours which is niggly! I feel the air in the room is better when it's on overnight though hence the 4 stars. I've had it a couple of weeks now. It's not quiet, it's a bit like having a fan on in the summer when it's hot so if you can sleep with a bit of 'white noise' then you'll be ok. Emptying it is not easy! and it's NOT described in the instruction manual which is bonkers. I had to go to youtube to figure it out. I did ask ProBreeze customer support and they gave me completely the WRONG information - luckily I didn't take the plug out of where they said or I would've broke the unit. So don't rely on them for anything. There's about half to 1cm of water in it in the morning. I was hoping when I bought it that the entire white top would click off so I could clean it out properly, but it's glued on and the only way of removing the water is to get the fiddly rubber plug off from the corner where it says 'water outlet' and shake it until it's empty. That's really annoying. To sum up: "It's better than nothing".

Arrivato con nastro adesivo che teneva la scatola evidentemente già aperta e anche l'articolo dava l'impressione di essere stato quanto meno esposto o comunque disimballato

Not bad for the price. You will need to go bigger and pay more if you need a quicker result or alot of moisture in your camper van. But overall... happy.

C'est déjà le deuxième que j’achète. Techno simple et fiable (module Peltier) fonctionnement assez silencieux...Le seul Hic est que j'aurai souhaité une prise secteur de "chez nous" et pas une britanique !

I am quite impressed - it's a small, light machine - since I have plugged it in 1hr ago already collected quite some moisture! I have a 1bedroom flat and I think it will be enough. For better efficiency- I close the room where it's working. It's quiet in my opinion - good quality built. It is dramatically missing a handle or a way to easily grab it. I definitely recommend it.
