How low will this thing take the humidity?

On auto mode it takes it between 55% and 60%, ideal for many musical instruments. It goes lower if set to high. Has a low setting for reduced noise. Keeps it around 60%. We have two running in an exceptionally large room (combined living/dining room with cathedral ceiling). Taking water out of the air does raise temperature. Less need to run as often if room is closed. Ours is pretty open.

Yes, you can adjust the humidity range down to 40%, but the lower you set it, the more the air unit will run, and it still may not ever get to your specified level depending on conditions in your home. As was said elsewhere, it is not a dehumidifier, but it does a good job of making our muggy Alabama air more comfortable. I have ours set at 55%.

It will dehumidify my 500 sq ft basement (open floor plan). I have to empty it EVERY day!! I like it, it is pretty quiet, just wish I got a 45 or 60 pint unit!!

I believe the amount of moisture placed into the air by this machine is not sufficient to add to the humidity. It does a good job of dispersing essential oils, but the entire cycle with the reservoir filling is 100 ml - not much water. I suggest a humidifier instead

Make sure that the unit is plugged into 110 vac to charge it (8-10) hoursI do not know how long the charge will last with the batteries inside the unit.As long as the safe is air tight and not leaking then it should make the humidity low within 1 day.

I did not do the calcs myself this info at the end is from another amazon shopper.... As I type this, it's 103 outside with 29% humidity. Inside, without the central air conditioner running, it's 102 and 30% humidity. I filled up this gizmo, turned it on, and the air coming out the front of the unit is 91 with 45% humidity. Since this cooler works by the phase-change of water into gas, you'll need to open your windows and let the air circulate so the humidity doesn't build up to the point where you're in a sauna and start to sweat like--um--someone who's in a sauna. It won't cool down an entire room, but if you'll be typing away on your computer like I am, you'll be sitting in one place. So sit next to the cooling breeze with an iced tea, and you'll be happy as a clam. Here's some numbers for how it works, and what's reasonable to expect from this cooler . . . Everyone knows that to generate steam, you apply lots of heat to water. You'll be happy to learn that if you dip a towel in water and hang it to dry, the liquid water changes to vapor, and in the process absorbs heat. How much heat, you ask? Water weighs about 8.3 lbs per gallon. To turn one lb of water to vapor, you need to apply about 910 BTU of heat. Multiply 910 times 8.3 and you get 7553 BTU. So, if you can entice a swamp cooler to vaporize one gallon of water in one hour, it will (about) cool as much as a regular window unit rated at 7500 BTU. However, this particular machine professes to vaporize about half a liter of water (about one pint) in an hour. One pint is 1/8 of a gallon, which is about one lb of water, so you can assume this machine will cool at the rate of 900 BTU per hour, which is about 20% of what a small window air conditioner will provide

I've been using mine in a 2400 sf crawlspace in NC and been keeping the humidity at 62 pc. So far so good!My unit has the built-pump with the hose running outside thru the foundation wall.

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 don't think so. I have it in a bedroom with the door closed and I can't get it to get above 35 % humidity. The bedroom has new windows, ceilings are 10 feet. I want to love this, but no matter what setting I do, it won't get me the optimum humidity.

Here, in Arizona we get 110+ summer temperatures, though not much humidity. My unit handles it great.

You should turn the humidity setting down using the arrow keys. I set my @ 30%.

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, you cannot. You need to get the higer level model for that. According to manual, this unit has preset humidity level target for 60 percent.

Yes, I believe that I read it will keep running to keep the humidity level at that point. Refer to the manual for further guidance

There isn't much to set. The Temp. sets it's self once the dehumidifer is turned on. You would then set the humidity level with the buttons on the top right hand side. Ours is in the basement so right now it's set at 45. Other then that you would just check to see if the light is blinking on the left. If so, then the bucket probably needs to be emptied. Hope this will help!!!

I use this unit in attic space with little insulation which is roughly 300 sq ft. On very hot humid days it can bring temps in room to mid 70s.

sorry, i'm not sure i'm going to be much help on this one. we have ours in a group exercise room that hovers around 70-80 degrees. we are a very dry climate (desert-like in southern california), so we don't experience ANY humidity in the room in which the clock is housed. it's a very sturdy clock and has been wonderful to have. it works GREAT for what we need---we needed something that had a "second clock" on it so we could time intervals in our exercise classes. so, good luck--i'm not sure i'm of much help--so sorry!
