Will this run well in a bathroom, where the air is very humid after showers? Any warnings against humidity?

This would be great in the bathroom how ever it would be ideal in a medium to large room. Mine works great in a 1515 room. Humidity shouldn't be a problem

I live in a small studio loft and have one of these both upstairs and downstairs. I would imagine it will not suffice for a large home, however I feel some humidity supplied is better than none.

As long as you have the room I don't see an issue. Check the dimensions. It's wonderful in a tub. Consider a handheld shower as well. Helps keep things dry since you can't use a door or or shower curtain as effectively.

Peter, This is one of those "it depends" answers. It depends on you. Here's the math. If you have a bathroom 8 X 15 X 8, then you have 960 cubic feet of air in that space. The fans are listed by the amount of cubic feet per minute (CFM) that they pump out of your bathroom. If you are buying the 110 CFM fan, it will circulate the air in your bathroom every 8.73 minutes. So, it depends on you. Is that fast enough for you? Do you need something faster? Only you can answer that question. In practical terms, I spend almost that much time in the bathroom after the shower. So, for me, I can turn off the fan and feel comfortable that I've eliminated the moisture in the room. I believe that this fan has a humidity sensor and you can adjust it to when it goes on and off. I'm still taping my bathroom; so, I've not tested my fan. I hope this is good information for you. Good luck. - Jose

I am sorry but I don't think it will, we have it in smaller size room and it only takes out a small amount of moisture but the humidity is still to high after two weeks of use but coming down to 66% this am

I run mine twice a day for 20 minutes and I can not tell that it actually adds any moisture into the room. I think it dissipates as fast as it emits into the air. Hope this helps you.

A good rule of thumb is around 1 CFM per Sq Ft of space for bathrooms provides great ventalation for showers and odors. You can get by with a minimum of 0.5 CFM per Sq Ft but that takes a long time to remove moisture build up.

The answer is that the machine will raise the humidity in exchange for cooling the air. If the air is dry it will absorb a lot of water and it won't bother you,but if the air is wet the machine will cool it a little but also raise the humidity. If you live in Arizona you will probably be able to run it a lot. If you live in New Jersey this probably won't help much.

As far as I know there shouldn't be any problem using it in a humid environment. I have been using it in my basement and it is usually somewhat damp down there. It has been working very well for me.

I think the design would work but I do not know how it may hold up to the humidity that could build up in a bathroom. I think it would depend on the size of the room and how much moisture/humidity you get in the room after use. My concern would be for the back panel.

It's great for a bedroom, reasonable for a medium-sized room, but probably not enough for a large room. If you live in a humid place, don't even bother; just get a fan or an air conditioner.

I do not know about the high humidity. Where I have it hanging, the humidity is approximately 50-60%Rh. It seems to be fine.

No, but I never use in humid weather. Mostly, in winter time and/or when window's closed. I also put mine on a pedastule so that it will sit high. Initially, I had concerns about it running near any electronics but I can run it a few feet from my laptop and no problems. I thought that it didn't even leave a build up film (like humidifiers do) but it actually does sometimes, just lighter. I noticed that if my glasses (eyewear) are near and it runs the full time, I need to clean them before using. But no dampness concerns.

I use it in the bathroom more than any other room. Just be careful to place it so that it is out of the way. Away from any chance of getting wet or being in your path of entry or exit.

We vent ours into an easily accessible attic so humidity has not been a problem in our house. The attic is warmer but not any more humid. It does work well in gathering lint. However, our removable lint door has started coming off when the dryer is turned on. I use 2 large rubber bands to hold it in place and that works OK. Hope this helps.
