Murray has consistantly pointed out that dehumidifiers treat a problem - the real solution is to identify the cause/s of moisture and change them.Aggressive??? Hey I qualified it in my next post that it was JUST my opinion. And despite that I appreciate Murray's input, the problem has gone right over his head. I really didn't need to learn how to breath, shower, cook, wash clothes and dishes without generating moisture, nor learn how to control the outside temperatures in winter. Nor did I need to learn how to spend multi-thousands on a sub 200 dollar solution. All I needed was a recommendation for a reliable brand of dehumidifier to get rid of the condensation, which I now have. Problem is solved.	Greg (193)

Have been following this thread with great interest as I have been in the market for a dehumidifier for a while now - but had no idea what to look for . Like this thread I get conflicting views from various people at time not really answering my question, Which one should I buy? Could you let me know me know what dehumidifier you decided on?

459242	2006-06-02 06:14:00	Remember, those who complain of the electricity running cost, that electricity cannot be "destroyed", only converted to other forms of energy. In the dehumidifier example the majority of the electricity used is actually converted eventually to heat, so if heating is a need in the area, most is not "lost" at all (as Misty has found out). And we have a Warehouse model, have had it 3+ years, it goes just fine. Just remember that the $200 models are only suited to a single smallish closed room for maximum effect.	godfather (25)

459245	2008-01-08 00:50:00	Thanks for dragging up this old thread. Not! Now you're just reminding me of some of the embarrassing things I've said to the good folks at PressF1! :groan: Anyway, neither of the websites you quoted give any indication of the initial costs involved and I'm buggered if I'll get a rep in just to try and sweet talk me out of a stack of cash. If they can't be upfront with the costs then stuff em. [edit] Jan why didn't you remove the links from his post? There's reason to suspect both companies are owned by the same person - the poster above. Which would clearly indicate it's spam.	Greg (193)
459246	2008-01-08 05:36:00	After all the words said on this subject, I still can't see what's wrong with opening the doors and windows. It's simple, it's easy, it's non-polluting, uses no electricity and has nothing to empty. I heartily recommend the open window and open door policy as some have already said. I also wonder at the people who have a noisy, electricity guzzling, dehumidifier as they seem to take great pride and delight showing their friends and neighbours how much water they manage to collect. I suppose it's okay if you don't get out that much.	Roscoe (6288)
