Question 1

Can this dehumidifier actually handle a 25 m² room like the title says?**

Accepted Answer

It works well in rooms up to about 15–18 m² with normal humidity levels. For 25 m² spaces or high-moisture areas like basements, many users find it struggles to keep up. Think of it as ideal for a bedroom, small living room, or bathroom, rather than a whole-basement solution. If your space is larger or damp, consider the 20 L/day version instead.

Question 2

Is the 35 dB noise level accurate? Will it disturb sleep?**

Accepted Answer

In quiet conditions, most users report it’s closer to 40–42 dB when the compressor is running – like a mini fridge cycling. It’s fine for daytime use or for rooms you’re not sleeping in, but for a bedroom at night, you’ll likely hear it kick on and off. Many TikTok users recommend placing it in a hallway or using the timer to run it before bedtime only.

Question 3

Does the auto defrost function work properly in cold rooms?**

Accepted Answer

The defrost feature kicks in automatically when the coils get too cold, which can happen frequently in rooms below about 18°C. In unheated basements or garages (around 15°C), some users report the unit defrosting every 30–45 minutes, cutting effective dehumidification time in half. For colder spaces, a desiccant-style dehumidifier might be a better fit.

Question 4

How do I avoid water spilling when removing the tank?**

Accepted Answer

This is a common frustration. The tank needs to be pulled straight out carefully – any tilting causes water to spill over the rim. A tip from experienced users: place a small towel underneath, and slide the tank out slowly. Using the continuous drain hose (included) eliminates this issue entirely, as long as you can position the hose downhill for gravity drainage.

Question 5

Is it safe to use this dehumidifier in a small apartment with a gas stove?**

Accepted Answer

Yes, generally. The R290 refrigerant is flammable, but the unit is sealed and certified for home use. Just keep it at least 1 meter away from open flames or heat sources (like a gas stove or furnace). For peace of mind, place it in a different room from any gas appliances. The low refrigerant charge (under 150g) makes it safe under standard safety regulations.
