Terrible customer "service"
This dehumidifier happily chugged along for two or three days drawing an impressive amount of moisture from my small bedroom, until the power supply burned out for no apparent reason--it was uncovered and the room wasn't too hot. I thought, fine, Windchaser appears to offer replacement power supplies so I won't be out $60. So I emailed them about my problem, and I got nothing but a referral to the retailer who wants me to pay for return shipping, which is ridiculous. Why should I lose a dime on a defective product? Anyway, I had to ask why I couldn't just buy a replacement power supply, and they said they were out of stock on that kind for an unknown amount of time. Why offer these replacements if you're not going to make them available? It is so disappointing that I took this risk of buying a product that had only two reviews, but it was made to sound so wonderful, and now I regret it. I'm still waiting to see if the warranty on the product makes any difference. The way things have been going, I'm not holding my breath.
Update: After finally calling instead of emailing Windchaser, who would not put me through to a supervisor, I was told to mail back the defective part for a replacement. I spent the money to ship this defective part PROTECTED BY A WARRANTY over a month ago and have yet to hear from Windchaser regarding the status of my claim. This is unacceptable! I have received better customer service from no-name Asian manufacturers.
It simply doesn't dry out air...
I receveid this today, and it so happened that I had a small bedroom that was at just under 80F and just over 80%RH (the numbers this unit is supposed to be good to remove 600ml per 24h). My thermometer and hygroometer were accurate.
After running for 12h, total moisture removed was ~40ml, less than expected by teh specs (which should have been in the neighborhood of 300ml, possibly a bit higher due to RH).
The noise level didn't bother me much, but the efficiency of roughly 1/8th of which is is specified as performing certianly did.
wind chaser dehumidifier
happy with amazon fast shipping, the dehumidifier works as advertised and is doing a great job for pennys a day,my old dehumidifier had a compressor and cost as much as running a refrigerator, the only noise the wind chaser makes is from a snall fan in the unit, I use it in a small wood shop to keep the humidity down on the wood and it keeps my cast iron equipment from surface rust, it removes 1-2 pints of water a day and is no problem to enpty, it keeps the shop at 40-50 % rel. humidity, great product!!!!!
