What is the difference between the electric air dryer and a dehumidifer?

electric air dryer use more electricity and would dry your stuff very quick. dehumidifier dries things in a very slow manner, it generates very mild heat and i guess will be much safer to use and help you saving money on electricity bill.

In my experience, the air dryer "removes" moisture in the air by maintaining a constant low heat level and evaporating the moist air - low energy consumption, safe to use 24/7, and no maintenance or cleaning. Dehumidifers are usually designed to collect moisture in the air into some sort of built in container and require more energy and maintenance and cleaning.

My limited experience with dehumidifiers is that they are usually mechanical and require a means to dispose of the moister removed from the environment. Think of your air conditioner that has a drip line to the outside that drains the condensation. This Air-Dryr product has no moving parts and does not accumulate moisture but will move warm air around by convection. The way I use this product is to keep it in the main cabin of my sailboat to prevent condensation in the cabin and thus prevent mildew while not on board.

This just puts out a low amount of heat into the area to help keep the moisture level down. Uses very little electricity . I use it in my travel trailer and I live in a very wet area during the winter. It gets cold but more wetness....

No, it is a simple saw-dust dust filter, not a dehumidifier. To remove moisture, you will need a true dehumidifier and piping to drain the condensed water (that is removed from the air) to the outside. For this to work efficiently, the garage needs to be fairly air-tight. Air exchange from large gaps around the doors will overload the dehumidifier.

I'm not sure there is a significant difference - the Air Dryr may be slightly more heavily constructed should it be placed where it could receive rough handling, ie someone stepping on it rather than over it. The Air Dryr also had a stated two year warranty and I couldn't find it for the Davis, although there really are no working parts to malfunction.

i have an electric dryer that i use at home but i bought this for traveling . i travel to florida monthly and it works well in that high humidity environment . if my expensive ( $ 100 ) electric one dies i will replace it with one of these

Water is removed from the air by condensing on the cooling coils aas with any other de humidifier. If used as a dehumidifier you must empty the water but if used as a heater or A/c the water is used to control himidity as far as I can determine. Ours works very well here in NE Ohio where the humidity is abouve average. We love it. Henry

Sorry I can't help you here, I have an electric dryer and mine dries it just fine.

It's about the same as a regular dryer. Not any louder than a regular dryer.

I would definitely go with the 900. The dryer is not very effective and I have not used the deodorizer. Otherwise it's great.

An evaporative humidifier has a wick or sponge through which air is blown, evaporating the water off the large surface area, to humidify the air. An ultrasonic humidifier uses an ultrasonic transducer to break the water up into small droplets or mist which blown into the room and actually evaporate in the room air.

The primary difference between the two models is amount of humidity they remove from the air per day. So, you need to know how big your room is in square feet. Another reviewer said that the D70BP worked well in a 1500 sq ft area. My basement is larger and the D70BP has kept it quite dry throughout a New England summer. You may want to consider two other features: (1) proximity to power, and (2) a place to drain water from the unit. I bought the D70BP specifically because it has a built-in pump and I can drain the unit to a floor drain, which is much easier than emptying a bucket! The D50BP also has a pump. I am please with this dehumidifier.

As others have said, it prevents condensation. Let me add more to that. What we care about is the relative humidity of the air inside a safe. Because air can hold more humidity at higher temperatures, by increasing the temperature even a little, you reduce the relative humidity of the air inside the safe. It works the same as a Golden Rod, or even a light bulb. The difference is that this dryer will actually move air once it warms up. So the air should do a better job reaching all over the safe.

The dehumidifier is rated at 700 watts, and all the energy that it uses is eventually turned into heat and is then dissipated in the room. I use mine in a large basement room, and heating is a non-issue. I think that the only way to dehumidify without heating is to use an AC, which is designed to expel the heat outside the house.

heat gun does not throw out as much air as a blow dryer does. You have more controal with a heat gun

Hi. I found it is the same as a professional dryer for a lot less money. Does a good fur blowout and adds body to the coat. Great value

I really have no idea...I haven't noticed an increase in my electrical bill. A feature I like about this dryer is that the heat cycle moderates to a cool cycle. I find that my clothes are dry far sooner than I expected and I end up turning off the dryer long before the cycle is complete. I love my little dryer. Simple to use and does what it is supposed to without a problem.

Yes I think that it does, but I'm not using it. I placed the unit on top of my dryer, so it can drain by gravity into the utility sink in the basement. This unit is still working great. It performs well even when the basement is cold, since it has an auto defrost cycle for when the coils freeze up. It really is the best dehumidifier that I have ever owned for the past 20 years.

It has two settings for heat, two settings for air speed, and a switch to turn off the ions (never will want to though!) and a cool air button. The speed of the low is quite powerful, and the high settings is ultra powerful. I agree that most other hair dryers on low can be weak and can be a time waster. Not the case with the Sedu!
