where is the best place to hang the dehumidifier in order to be most efficient: high in the closet, or low???

I think in the closet. I have a couple placed in other areas. The one in the closet I've recharged twice and the others have not needed it. I hope this helps. :)

I don't think it makes much difference. I have mine in a safe, which is low and it works fine.

I hung it in the middle of a closet on my lanai. It lasts about two weeks. I bought two so I switch them & recharge the used one.

In only use mine in the bathroom where I set it on the counter. I would assume since heat, therefore moisture rises, it word be best to place it higher.

In general, humid air is heavier than dry air. So, in theory, the lower the placement, the better.

It depends on the humidity you're at, and the humidity you're trying to get. I have a 2100 square foot house with high ceilings, and it makes a difference, but I'm also only doing like a 35% humidity in the winter... and I'm not really sure I ever get to 35% humidity, I just know it's definitely doing work.I would really recommend something bigger, as your house heater would likely allow for something bigger anyway. However, having one or two of these installed isn't a waste of time.

If you need to add more humidity run a humidifier. Also a dehumidifier is grate for humid days but AC usually takes out enough with a big enough unit. I recommend split unit but higher plus installation as this unit is a "bad design" as it takes out part of cold or hot air causing a vacuum effect. Running a heat pump you want house sealed up.

I had a similar idea for hanging mine, and spent a lot of time walking the aisles at Home Depot for ideas. In the end I hung it in a less desirable location where the opening was flush. I used ikea window curtain hanging hardware and rods because that's what I had on hand. It is far from ideal, but it does ok at dampening the noise and is reasonably easy to pull up from a lower part of one side and hook to a hole on the other side. Can't really slide it open because it's too thick. The trickiest thing I have found is trying to find ways to get it to be as flush with the wall as possible, because that's what will make the biggest difference for noise. I have yet to find a good way to hang it (I have one over a hallway opening, and another over a window) that is both easily moveable when needed but also holds it up against the wall so that there is a seal. I guess that isn't an answer other than to say that it is not easy to work with these or hang them.... But certainly worth it for what it is. It is the best non-permanent sound dampening thing I have found.

I installed with downward flow / boost, as my dryer vent PVC is under slab. The pressure sensor is vertical as in instructions. The unit works perfectly, so far... I have noted that the clear tube leading to pressure sensor gets condensation build up and could potentially lead to water getting in the sensor. I plan to reposition so the sensor is vertical but the tubing is an uphill run to the sensor. To get the recommended 5 feet from the dryer outlet, I ran flex duct to a through the wall PVC "splice" and then all PVC on the garage side of the wall wear the booster is connected. It is in non heat / cool garage space, so it is dry but "outside" the house.

This fixture can be placed in a bathroom without much concern of humidity getting into the electrical. And the housing unit that you'd use to mount it, can be much smaller if need be.

You can use simple gravity to drain the dehumidifier. Note that several of these units, however, have had internal electrical problems that required replacement or repairs.

Can definitely be stored in the garage or even a closet when not in use. It works best around 80 degrees. When it's 90 or hotter I don't even feel like it makes much of a difference. Still would rather have it than not though.

The air that goes into the dehumidifier is the same temperature that comes out, Minus the water. The Heaven fresh dehumidifier is anExcellent choice. I hope this helps you. Thanks Lm

This should not be used for your purposes for 2 reasons 1) a closet is closed and this needs an open room. Most specifically tell you to leave the window and door open. 2) This uses water evaporation to cool. You do NOT want to operate electronics in a humid environment, where water can corrode and short components, and damage lenses (i.e. CD/DVD players). A closed environment would make things even worse.

I think it could be mounted either way.. I just fastened mine to a post and installed a male plug on one end and a female plug on the other ,and plugged it in line with the dehumidifier. The wires come out of the back,so mounting on the wall would require a hole through the wall for the wires.

Mine is hung high since I have a high ceiling. I often push the bottom to get the fruit out.

I've been using mine in a 26x12 room which includes the kitchen and dining area,and I find it to be more than adequate. I normally keep it on the "dehumidify" setting unless I've been away from home on a hot day; then I put it on "cool" "high" for a couple of hours to cool down the room. It faces my dining room table which would freeze anyone sitting in front of it, so I taped on a clear plastic, adjustable length, deflector made for heat vents and aimed it at the ceiling. That was a huge improvement. Like every air conditioner I've used, the adjustable louvers on the unit do almost nothing. This unit is surprisingly quiet and I've been very pleased with it.

I installed it inside a tall utility closet in our laundry room. It extends out of the closet, perpendicular to the wall. Use it to hang shirts and stuff when they come out of the dryer. Like the fact that we can collapse it and close the closet after use.

i don't use a hanger. the charging plug just hooks into the vacuum. so i do it that way. i put it on the floor.

It needs some airflow, we installed it in the back of our entertainment unit in the cabinet that holds the speakers, but there is an air gap between the unit and the wall-- ours isnt installed directly in the wall. this product basically a set of fans, so its pulling air from behind and pushing the air over the component (at least in our set up) so can you achieve that airflow in your closet?
