What happens with the condensate?

Frank - the Dehumidification takes care of it. No excess water to dispose off. Loved it

Most of it is misted inside the exhaust pipe. I run mine for 12+ hours a day and every 3-4 months I need to empty the water from a very small tank on the bottom. It surprised me how small the tank is and how much time goes between needing to empty it from the drain plug. My last unit from a different manufacture also misted but not very efficiently. I had to empty a larger tank weekly.

A majority of the condensate is evaporated during operation. However, when the unit is turned off the condensate pools in the bottom collection tank and within the interior hoses. You can manually drain the condensate through an upper port as well as a bottom port, which you should do before storage or long periods of non-operation. It is relatively easy to drain the unit, both ports have a plastic retaining screw ring and a silicone plug behind them. When I have drained my unit after ~7 days of continuous operation it will purge around half a gallon of water.

There is a water tray that can be emptied. It did not fill up quickly and I think we only emptied it a few times during the summar.

None at all, , but you do get a little condensation under the lid when you use it.

Yes, if condensation forms it will drip on the outside although we had it running constantly for about 4 days of hot weather and I did not notice any dripping The sleeve we used has a point where if condensation builds up it will drip out but it would land in the sleeve first. There was no drip line included with ours.

I don't know if this will help. But, water would condensate in the handle part of the humidifier. This happen twice. I gave it a good cleaning and have not experience any other problems.

My old switch was open in the normal installation. With a multi-meter I found the switch was also open when inverted. I found that the switch would make contact somewhere in the middle, but not neither in the top of bottom. New switch is a must if you have condensate (high humidity) situation. The new switch is pretty inexpensive and a worthy purchase. Buy two when you do to have an extra on hand.

Sure thing -- fog/condensation forms from a difference in temp between the surface of the mirror and temp of the (high humidity) surround air. This mirror keeps the surface at the same temp as the air because of the water you put into the chamber behind the mirror. So the temp of the surface is about the same as the air and no condensation forms.

I have never had any problems like that. If anything you might develop a little bit on condensation but your breath will keep it warm or at least above freezing. I used this while commuting to work and back on my bicycle and all I noticed was a small amount of air restriction from the mesh itself and hardly any condensation.

Since condensation is generally a matter of air temperature and humidity it will probably depend on your climate. I use these in a moderately dry climate and haven't had a problem.

We've used this one for several months now and have never had any condensation from it. Same with our one from BrightLeafs. The vapor typically dissipates quickly.

It's been awesome. Haven't had any problems with condensation. It's freezes here at night at it'll turn right on in freezing conditions.

Condensation builds up between the glass and leds at about 60-70% RH. I don't think it impacts the light intensity that much. Outside of the condensation I haven't had any problems. Hope this helps.

The condensation comes from temperature cycling inside and outside the jar. If the water in the jar reaches a higher temperature than the outside of the jar, then vapor in the bottle will become saturated relative to the inner surface temperature and you'll get condensation. This can happen when the bottle temperature lags behind in a thermal cycle (e.g. a car cooling in the evening) or if the jar is exposed to a heat source like sunlight.

The condenser turns off when the desired level is reached, but not the fan - it runs continuously. Can't say what happens after a power outage - haven't experienced one yet.

I don't believe there is an obvious hole on the outer glass, it's just a small indention on the bottom of the cup (you can kind of see this indention in the pictures on the bottom of the cups). The glass may get a little cold (or warm) near the top of the cup, but in my experience there has not been any condensation.

Runs on normal 110v. And I have NEVER had a problem with condensation. I have run it every summer for the last five years or so in what can be brutal heat and never a problem. I do clean it every year before I start it up, just like I do my heating system. If any device is not cared for properly, it will not function at maximum capacity.

It does still condensate so make sure you have a place for the water to drain

Yes! if you turn off the built in sounds, all you will hear is a soft whisper and drip of the condensation.
