Many people share the usefulness of the 3M Breathing Air Purifying Dehumidifier. This time I want to deal with the dehumidification problem in the master bedroom, not only to make the bed sheets, pillows and curtains more refreshing, but also to eliminate the bathroom caused by the master bedroom. Humidity, the selection target falls on the quieter and lighter 3M dehumidifier.I started with a Mitsubishi dehumidifier last year and placed it in the connecting space from the Japanese room to the living room to dehumidify. By the way, the wardrobe and the floor are refreshed a lot, so I will share the differences between the two.
Why do you want to buy a dehumidifier?
Ever since last year, when the wooden floor in the home and the room had dark spots due to dampness, things have changed a lot, and only then have I realized the importance of normal dehumidification!Hurry up and make up your mind to buy a high-end Mitsubishi dehumidifier (Mitsubishi MJ-E175AF-TW 17.5 liters A-type 7-40°C free of frost) to replace the old Kolin dehumidifier, which has been used for many years and used for ordinary vehicles and mechanical knobs. The machine (Kolin KJ-601B 12-liter B-type automatic defrosting) finally solved the problem of excessive moisture on the floor and clothes in the washing room.
When choosing a compressor-type dehumidifier at that time, in addition to avoiding accidental contact with mine products that spontaneously ignite the dehumidifier, the first products recommended by everyone were high-priced and high-quality Mitsubishi products, followed by Hitachi, which was slightly more affordable. (HITACHI) and international (Panasonic) two major brands.Compressor-type dehumidifiers are subdivided into two types, A-type and B-type. The former is to avoid defrosting, but will strike when the operating temperature is lower; the latter is automatic defrosting, and the defrosting function is activated when the temperature is below a certain temperature. Continue to dehumidify after defrosting.
When I chose Mitsubishi MJ-E175AF-TW, I was worried that Type A lacked defrosting function and could not operate at low temperatures. However, after thinking about it, this dehumidifier can operate at a low temperature above 7°C, which is almost rare in Taiwan. The situation shows that this Taiwan version of the dehumidifier has already considered the local usage, so it can safely fail.In other words, since the compressor-type dehumidifier motor is getting better and better, the sound is getting smaller and smaller, it saves electricity and has a large dehumidification power, and low-temperature operation is not a problem, why should we consider the dehumidification wheel dehumidifier?

Comparison of Dehumidification Wheel Type and Compressor Type
Generally speaking, dehumidifiers can be divided into two major categories: "dehumidification wheel type (zeolite type)" and "compressor type (refrigeration cycle type)". International brands have introduced a combination of dehumidification wheel + compressor.
The dehumidifier wheel dehumidifier uses the dehumidifier wheel to absorb the moisture first, and then uses the heat exchanger to "heat" it. It condenses the moisture by exchanging the inhaled cold air. The efficiency is better at low temperatures and the outlet temperature is lower. high.The advantage is that the dehumidification wheel is used, the weight is lighter, and the sound is quiet during operation. The running sound is usually below 40 decibels. It has dehumidification ability between about 1-40 ℃. The dehumidification efficiency is relatively better when the temperature is low; the disadvantage is energy consumption Higher, more heat exhaust, less suitable for high temperature and high humidity environment.
Compressor-type dehumidifiers use compressors to drive the refrigerant to "cool down". There are two types: A-type and B-type. The former is generally suitable for about 15-35℃, the high-end models can reach 7-40℃, and the latter is generally suitable for Between about 5-35℃, high-end models can reach 1-40℃.The compressor type works better at high temperatures, and the air outlet temperature is lower. At low temperatures, the dehumidification power will be reduced due to frosting.The advantage is the use of a compressor, which saves electricity, has low power and has strong dehumidification, and is suitable for operation at high temperatures; the disadvantage is that the weight is heavier, the low-priced models are loud, the operating sound of the high-priced models can be reduced to less than 50 decibels, and there is frost during low-temperature operation The problem, you have to pay attention to the leakage of refrigerant.
When buying a dehumidifier, price, energy consumption, and dehumidification capacity are definitely the first considerations. The next step is to consider the models and functions that are suitable for the use situation.When placing an enlarged space or requiring long-term dehumidification, of course, it is best to choose a compressor model. If it is used in a small and medium-sized space, and the use of the wet and cold season is the main use situation, and you really care about the sound of the operation, you can do this at this time The dehumidification wheel dehumidifier has been taken into consideration.

Recommended use situation
According to my experience comparing the use of dehumidifier wheels and compressors, this 3M dehumidifier is more suitable for the following users:
- Single renters : A dehumidifier with three functions of drying clothes in rainy weather, air cleaning, and heating and dehumidification. One machine is multifunctional, which can save limited rental space, so that the tenants of elegant/suite rooms can also enjoy a higher quality of life. The room can also allow allergic people to have good air quality, especially to solve the problem of drying clothes in rainy days. You can dry clothes overnight in the bathroom, and you don't need to grab drying space with others.However, because of the dehumidifying wheel characteristics, it is good to use in wet and cold weather in winter. In summer, let's keep the air-conditioning and dehumidification on.
- Mountain family : For people living in mountainous areas, the beautiful mountain scenery and fresh air are a big enjoyment, while the cold and humid environment all the year round is a little torment!People living in mountainous areas can consider choosing a dehumidifying wheel dehumidifier. Not only does it work efficiently in a low-temperature, damp and cold environment, but the slightly hot air released during operation can also make people feel the warm breath. The clothes placed indoors are also Being able to dry is even more effective.Therefore, if you are living in a mountainous area who can hardly use air-conditioning, you might consider a dehumidifier that consumes a lot of energy but can bring warmth and dryness.
- Master bedroom air conditioner : For those who have a powerful compressor-type dehumidifier at home, if they want to purchase more dehumidifiers that can be placed in the living room and bedroom, they can consider a dehumidifier wheel dehumidifier.The machine runs quietly, which will not affect sleep. It also has an air filter function, which is a major advantage that can improve the quality of sleep.Because the living room is usually in the summer, the air-conditioning will be used for cooling and dehumidification for a long time. At this time, there is no need to dispatch the dehumidifier. When the dehumidification wheel dehumidifier is used in autumn and winter or the rainy season, it can just avoid the high temperature. The shortcomings of inefficiency.
As far as its use is concerned, it is suitable for the third type of master bedroom air conditioner.Put this dehumidifier in the master bedroom and use it as the second dehumidifier in the writer.Used in rainy and cold weather, silent operation and quiet air can improve the quality of sleep, and the slight hot air can bring a touch of warmth.As for the summer, keep the machine away first, and let the air-conditioner make good use of it!
After talking about the above three suitable use scenarios, of course, there are less suitable use scenarios. Considering the functions and characteristics of the dehumidifying wheel dehumidifier, it is not suitable for high-temperature operation and long-term strong dehumidification:
- An area where you live in summer all year round : For people living in areas like Kenting and Taitung in all seasons such as summer, wet and cold weather is really rare, which greatly reduces the use time of dehumidifying wheel dehumidifiers, and probably will not like machines that send out slightly hot air. If there is a real need and timing for dehumidification, it is better to buy a compressor-type dehumidifier, which operates efficiently at high temperatures and is environmentally friendly and energy-saving. Even if the indoor temperature is not effectively reduced, at least hot air will not be sent out, otherwise it will be blocked by an air conditioner. Just use it.
- The need for long-term powerful dehumidification : Considering Taiwan’s weather conditions with less low temperature conditions, as well as the dehumidification wheel-type dehumidification and power-saving efficiency, if there are requirements and conditions for dehumidification 365 days a year, such as long-term humid areas near the mountains or the sea, or for changing clothes Taking into account the frequency of use, dehumidification, power saving and money saving, it is best to choose a compressor-type dehumidifier, which can operate in Taiwan’s subtropical climate for a long time without the need for high noise. In the long run, it can save a lot of electricity bills.
In summary, when buying a dehumidifier, you must first consider your own use situation and frequency, first choose the dehumidification wheel/compressor model that suits your needs, and then choose the brand/price/function/dehumidification power and other characteristics of the model , The last thing is to consider factors such as clothes drying/air filtration/outline design!
The last conscientious suggestion, you should do more homework when you have time. The best way is to compare and crawl more online. In addition to referring to the unboxing and use experience sharing articles of many blogs, it is best to go to Mobile01 and the like. In the home appliance discussion area of the forum, take a look at everyone's experience sharing and pros and cons, and list the points that you care about the most. Then you can slowly filter and find the products that suit you.
