Is it normal for the surface around the unit to get moist? I would think yes since the mist shoots up and would settle around it. How to minimize?

There is a dial on the front I turned it down to minimize the moisture level.
875503
Yes! If you have the unit on high I have found this condensation to form unless the house is very very dry. I always set the unit on high for a little while then come back and adjust it down to where passing my hand through the mist just dampens my hand.
875504
Yes, in my experience. I fixed this by placing a small desk fan behind it to disperse the moisture.

Item was returned. Earlier model did not cause a problem on wood floor. My daughter returned it for other reason

I didn't have a problem with it as long as I had it on the lowest possible setting for the moisture level.

I don't keep mine moist. I hang it and let it dry (as stiff as a board) because I was afraid of the mildew threat also. I just soak mine to death in warm water before I use it. Its been going strong for a couple years now ans still looks like new. ** And my husband is not gentle on this when he wrings it out either!

You probably just have a lot of humidity in the air. My house is built into a hillside, and the lowest level is underground level in the front and opens out onto the patio in the back. My bathroom is toward the front and during the summer months the DampRid System collects a lot of moisture from the air - an inch a month is not unusual.

I see that also in the Amazon description, but it most certainly is NOT auto evaporating. The description is incorrect. The only way you can run this particular unit without emptying water is if the humidity is lower than ~40%. I've owned this exact unit for 6 years and I know this for a fact. Hope it helps.

I find that if people are sitting underneath the sprayers, they will get water mist on them, which will make them wet after awhile. Make sure your misters are not dripping, and that there is a very fine mist coming out.

First, I would make sure all the settings are correct. If they are, and if you have humidity, then I would say you got a dud. We're in the northeast, where it's been disgustingly humid for it seems like forever, and ours is working fine. We empty it 3 or 4 times a day and run it on high, usually. If you got a defective unit, I don't know what the return policy is, but would think the company -- or Amazon -- will honor the warranty without any problem.

I use this in my bedroom at night, and set it on a wood side table. I have not had any problems with condensation on the table or anything around the diffuser. The mist it emits is so fine that it doesn't seem to settle anywhere in particular, just diffuse into the air.

I have not found moisture to be a problem at all, but we live in a fairly dry climate. We actually have a humidifier on our furnace. You probably don't need a dehumidifier. I am very satisfied with this product!

I dont have such an issue, i have a misty spray but what i do every time after use is wipe it down with dry paper towel to avoid build up! Hope that helps

If you overfill it, it doesn't produce mist and therefor the water level doesn't go down. Also, make sure you are using tap water, or as the hilariously translated directions say, water derived from the pipes.

No mist just air and it comes out the lower front. This is a could humidifier not a warm, so there is no mist.

You need to get a humidity guage to see how much humidity you have in your rooms. If the water emptys in 24 hours...it's working! It should feel like cool air coming from the unit. Yes, a slight condensation on windows, not enough to worry about.

The patio floor will become wet only if the relative humidity is very, very high. Most hots days even with high relative humdity the moisture will stay around a bit longer. The product does work but you have to keep it clean (nozzles) and it must be near an AC outlet and obviously a water (hose) connection. Also, don't put it right in front of you at a very close distance as the high fan setting with moisture spray will leave a little damp spots here and there. However, the whole point of the device is to cool the air around you with a mist spray.

I haven't noticed any. Any condensation seemed to drip onto the patio down below. However I live in the Pacific Northwest and it's not horribly humid like it can be in other parts of the country.

First, make sure the machine is on a level surface. Secondly, make sure the top and base are fit together properly. It is easy to not fit them together properly. Check the mist output dial to see what setting it is at.The mist should be quite visible if you have the output dial set at the middle or higher.

You might need to hold the mist button longer. I sometimes have to do that with my light button.

Sorry I'm late on the response! You can set the humidity level right on top of the unit.. I leave mine at 45% because I have a damp basement that stays very cool but humid if I didn't answer the question you were asking please let me know thanks for asking my opinion Pete
