Is this ok for higher humidity weather, I live in south Florida and read where its used in low humidity areas?

The device is always submerged, therefore the chlorine tablets are always in 100% humidity. It only surfaces when the chlorine is fully used up (dispensed).

It works great in Kansas. Humidity has been high this summer with over 10 inches of rain

I use mine in a 20x12 with (8' ceilings) room and it seems to work well. I haven't done relative humidity measurements.

I use it outdoors, in humid Hawaii. I have it mounted under my roof's eve and, just in case, I custom made a plastic water deflector over the top of it (mainly protects from dust/dirt and bugs from collecting on top of it). Works perfectly.

It don't need it, but it will help to keep a more full, even heat in the home. Just like in the summer time when humidity raises the heat index. You don't need to make it feel like Florida in July, but a little humidity, 55% to 65% will give a more efficient heating effect, in contrast to that dry empty chilly feeling you can't get rid of without cranking up your conventional heating system. The water molecules in the air become heated up and hold in the heat from floor to ceiling. A small humidifier or setting several containers of water around the house should help.

I am in Hawaii so the humidity is generally fairly high, if that is what you mean by "area around the unit is wet". Otherwise, the immediate area only got wet when the unit leaked in the manner that I previously described.

We vent ours into an easily accessible attic so humidity has not been a problem in our house. The attic is warmer but not any more humid. It does work well in gathering lint. However, our removable lint door has started coming off when the dryer is turned on. I use 2 large rubber bands to hold it in place and that works OK. Hope this helps.

I use mine in my garage in Central Florida where the humidity is very high most of the year and not had any problems with it. Mine appears to be completely sealed against weather but I suspect it may leak around the contacts where it is plugged in, so never use it outside and exposed to the rain. I use stainless steel bolts, washers and nut on my batteries because they do rust/corrode.

Honestly, I take it off my bed in the summertime (I live in Vegas). I think with A/C on and climate control for humidity, it would be OK but I think it would be too warm.

It might be too hot for Florida weather especially the warmer and more humid times. We use ours only indoors where the AC is on.

Yes, you can adjust the humidity range down to 40%, but the lower you set it, the more the air unit will run, and it still may not ever get to your specified level depending on conditions in your home. As was said elsewhere, it is not a dehumidifier, but it does a good job of making our muggy Alabama air more comfortable. I have ours set at 55%.

Mine has not had any problems, we live in eastern NC which has high humidity, very good fan.

It is not waterproof or resistant, but it is very well made. I have used it outdoors many times without incident. Humidity is not a problem, I live in South Florida, but I would not want it to get soaking wet.

Yes. We live in the central valley in CA where the temps can hit in the 100's and have found it to be comfortable. Although we are not a humid area. Very dry. So I can't speak for a humid climate. We love ours and would definitely re-purchase.

This as well as others should work well in the Arizona heat. Ours are indoors, but I have one in my garage inHouston. Temps get in the high90's and it works great. Adjust the " on time" to suit your needs and away you go! William gibson

I live on Long Island, NY and we have humid temperatures only in the summer months. I have used it many times and I feel that it does cool you down. It sprays a light mist, plus the fan, which is a great thing to have outdoors and makes the humidity bearable!

I have had mine for a couple of years now and I live in South Florida. It has held up much better than I expected in the sun, rain & wind. I would not hesitate to purchase one again when mine finally dies.
