After doing some research, went for the LifePro DH50, supposedly the biggest in the line up for home use (cover up to 130m2) . Specifically can draw 50L or 30L of water a day(24 hrs) with a 8L tank. 

Come with H11 HEPA filter as an air purifier, can produce negative ions, and can dry clothes.

 

dun on for too long later you become 干尸

Yah bought a cheap 1L capacity one last week, waste time, which is what tiggered me to look for an actual one.

So bought a DH50 from LifePro, and tested last night. On  for 3 hrs, and collected 5L of water, but only managed to take humidity from 85% to 66%. I think this is because I left it in the living hall with all the room doors opened.

 

Very good effect all things considered.

After playing with it for a few days, finally understand how to use it probably.

This morning WFH, so let it run, collected one full tank in 5 hrs, and my tank is a big 8L tank. This is with the H11 filter installed, I think if I remove the H11,  flow rate will be even faster. 

After that move it to individual rooms, and took only one hr to bring RH down to 50% in the rooms.

Going to do it later when my antibacterial filters come, then can use the filtered water to do some stuffs. Meanwhile, I just pour it away first.

I am going to remove the tank and  attach the pipe to my 25L pail later, and let it run until tomorrow morning.

I am using the china brand deye for humidifier. Apparently, i think Novita also use their dehumidifier and rebadge it. The shape and the spec are the same. 

being with me for 4 years liao. Still work like a beast.

So, what is the constant RH you guys with dehumidifiers are getting?

Like, SG's RH is constantly between 82-85 almost year round, what are you guys getting?

Tanita thermometer shows btw 65% and 75%.

This is sitting in my living room

Wah the dehumidifier power consumption is not small, 600w. Close to a 9k btu at nominal.

So it looks like 70% is quite normal in our conditions. 

In my living room, it's now about 67-68% in the days and 70-72% in the early early mornings

Some rooms stay about 68-70%, some rooms stay ard 70-72%. 

All except one read above 85% when I first took their readings with the few cheap hydrometers (bought 6, one in each room), the MR read 90%.
