What is the minimum and maximum humidity setting?

I just checked mine they go from zero to 99.9%. I just a note mine is in a 150 count humidor and I have to keep it set at 68% to achieve 70% not a big deal though. Had mine for few few months now with no complaints.

I wouldn't waste the money again on this china made unit . Had 2 go bad within a 30day period . Look into an American made unit ,such as CMT

That doesn't matter really. You want to keep your cigars at right aroun 70% him itty which is the moisture level from the cigar factory. I've keep mine between 68% and 72%. I've seen no difference either up or down. Mine actually broke after 5 years (pretty good 24/7) and I didn't realize it til weeks later. Cigars were still perfect! And they were $300/box Cubans.

There is not a specific humidity level the unit is set to. It runs continuously to remove any moisture within the designated area.

Hi,what is the lowest setting you can set for this dehumidifier. I like to set mine around 30% or lower - the weather whee i live gets below zero and i get moisture forming on my windows

I wish I knew. I have this and the manual says absolutely nothing about how to set this in dehumidifier mode....nor do I see anything on the display about % of humidity. Sounds like BS to me. I'm probably going to get a separate dehumidifier instead...considering the fact that dehumidifiers display the amount of humidity in the air. I have no idea why NewAir listed this as a dehumidifier. I understand that AC mode can serve as a slight dehumidifier, but that's not so concentrated on that function.

you can set specific temperatures for the lower and the upper sections. Minimum increment is 1 degree, though.

It is fully adjustable. Take a look at the instructions since it has many features including humidity sensitivity, fan run time and 2 running modes.

I bought this unit for our basement and it has performed flawlessly. You can set the desired humidity percentage on the touch control pad (very conveniently placed on the top of the unit so you don't have to crouch to adjust the settings). The Friedrich will maintain that setting, cycling on and off automatically.

The humidity level is an automatic setting of which you have no control. I live in an area that is dry for the most part. In A/C weather, the condensation goes out the exhaust hose. In cold weather, the condensation goes into an internal bucket that must be drained according to the humidity levels of the weather. The unit shuts down when the bucket needs draining. For my convenience, I chose a permanent place for the unit, venting the exhaust hose out a window, and a drain hose through the wall. I set the unit on automatic, clean both filters twice a month, and it's hassle free. It's best to insulate the exhaust hose. I wrapped a large thick towel secured with small bungee cords around mine.

We live in a hot and dry apartment. We usually do not at the timer, set output to max, and it will cycle on/off until it runs out of water, usually the next morning. The humidistat does appear to overestimate the humidity by about 10% compared to a separate hydrometer. I believe this is due to the location of the senor near the mist output, but is easy to overcome by setting the target humidity about 10% higher. The timer is optional and I've never used it.

Just my assessment from here...Make sure reservoir is full, inserted onto unit, turn on with remote, and double check the humidity setting. If the setting is too low, it will not come on. Humidity setting should be set at higher level than the humidity level in the room. Just my 2 cents.

You can not set the thermometer. You can adjust the humidity using a dial on the top. It just allows more or less humidity, but can not be set to a specific value. We have a separate hydrometer in another room that gives us an exact measurement. If it goes below 30% we adjust the Essick for more humidity, and if the hydrometer goes above 35%, we adjust the Essick for less.

Getting the humidity right in a humidor can be tricky. If you want to take the glass out, monitor the humidor and if the RH level drops put it back. Having said that, my advice would be if it is consistent at 70 don't change anything.

I'm sorry, I do not know. I have not yet been in a high humidity situation since purchasing them.

It really depends on the average level of humidity in the space you are operating the dehumidifier and what level of dehumidification that you set on the unit. For example, we have our unit in our basement. We have selected the desired humidity level to be at 45%. We live in Iowa and in the summer it runs 24/7 (we have a shower in the basement that gets used daily as well). In the winter it does not.

My recollection is that there are buttons with a digital readout on top of the humidifier which allows you to set the humidity level or to turn it to run continuously. I set mine for continuous operation. Hope this helps.

There is likely an engineered solution to this question if one wanted to spend enough time searching the web. Manufacturers websites contain some information, though it is fairly general. My approach was to pick a higher end price point where I got the maximum pints/dollar, being fairly sure that I would have enough capacity. Several factors influence the needed capacity: space volume, humidity in air entering the space, rate of air flow, and the level of humidity desired.

Yes, there is a humidity button for choosing anywhere from 40 to 60%. Auto off at that level.
