"The PRDHZ80U has many advantages over other dehumidifiers because the PRDHZ80U does not have a compressor. This makes it lighter, quieter and more efficient. I use one at home and I love the way that all I have to do is press one button and then it does the rest. When we shower the unit responds by working harder and when it has brought things back down to normal, it quietens down again. It is a great dehumidifier that I would recommend to anyone from a flat to a 5 bedroom home."

The PRDHZ80U is not a normal dehumidifier. Instead of using a compressor it uses a desiccant wheel to dry the air. This has several pros and cons.

Pros

Consistent water removal from the air. Whatever the temperature the PRDHZ80U will remove 8 litres of water per day. Whether you put it in your cold garage or your warm house the dehumidifier will extract exactly the same amount of water. This is equivalent to a 20 litre compressor dehumidifier in the house and a considerably larger, industrial, machine in the garage

Heat. The air coming out of the PRDHZ80U will be about 10 to 12°C warmer than the air that goes into it. Very useful for drying washing and warmer cold areas of the house.

Weight. The lack of a compressor makes the PRDHZ80U about half as heavy as a normal dehumidifier.

Noise. The lack of a compressor means that the PRDHZ80U is quieter than even the smallest dehumidifiers available on this website. Great in a flat

Cons

Power Consumption. It is debateable whether this is a disadvantage or not. It is true that the PRDHZ80U consumes 620 watts which is more than most compressor models. But this higher capacity returns the increased heating of the air and because the PRDHZ80U is faster at dehumidifying than standard models, it spends more time turned off because it achieves its targets faster. Therefore, the running costs are probably no different to any other dehumidifier.

One point to be aware of with this dehumidifier is that after a power cut it will not turn itself back on. So if you are using it to protect a boat that is docked remotely from you or a car in a garage and you have no-one to check on the dehumidifier for you, we recommend either the DD122FW or the X-Dry.

We get lots of positive feedback from customers, here is one comment about the PRDHZ80U

"Hi,

Have received my Prem-i-Air dehumidifier. Its working fine. Excellent design. Amazing how much water it's collecting. After only a few days, the damp is already drying out, the smell has gone and the flat feels warmer.

Thanks,
