Behind the boom in the dehumidifier (dehumidifier) industry, many consumers have rising expectations for their performance and effectiveness. However, we also have to face up to some of the chaos that exists in dehumidifiers. Especially in this industry, it is not uncommon to have false standard parameters, exaggerate dehumidification performance, inferior material selection, and even cause potential safety hazards such as air pollution. What are the disadvantages of dehumidifiers? As a home appliance evaluator, I will give you some knowledge about these problems, and have an in-depth understanding of these problems, which can help you choose and use this equipment more wisely.
The above is a dehumidifier I've reviewed in recent months.
1. What are the disadvantages of dehumidifiers?
What are the disadvantages of dehumidifiers? With the increasing demand for humidity management, dehumidifiers are emerging on the market, however, the potential hazards of some of these inferior products are also becoming more and more concerning. In this increasingly competitive industry, false claims not only make it difficult for consumers to judge the true performance of a product, but can also lead to the selection of the right dehumidifier, which can lead to a range of problems such as air pollution.

With the popularity of dehumidifiers, it has become a common behavior for consumers to look for reviews of related products on the whole network. This time, we will introduce a statistical chart of negative reviews of dehumidifiers across the network, through which we can have a more comprehensive understanding of the problems and dissatisfaction faced by users when using dehumidifiers. In addition, I also focus on the analysis of the main hazards, hoping to attract everyone's attention.
1: False propaganda, poor performance.
The key performance parameter of a dehumidifier is the amount of dehumidification, however, some merchants may exaggerate the key metrics. The amount of dehumidification depends on the real-time temperature, humidity and environmental complexity, but in order to sell, some merchants may make false claims and exaggerate indicators such as dehumidification capacity, dehumidification effect and dehumidification area. It is difficult to achieve the advertised dehumidification effect in actual testing, which can lead to moisture in household appliances and moisture, which can cause far-reaching harm
2: Confusing the scope of application of the dehumidifier, resulting in idle products and waste of resources.
Many brands tend to confuse the concepts of maximum dehumidification area and maximum applicable unit size. For example, a brand claims to be suitable for a large 180-square-meter apartment, but its maximum dehumidification range may only be 50 square meters. Since a single room in a large apartment may not exceed 50 square meters, if consumers do not understand this concept, they may choose products that are not suitable for the type of dehumidifier and cannot effectively dehumidify the entire room. This will not only lead to the trouble of returning and exchanging goods, but also may make the product idle and cause a waste of resources.
3: Non-professional products promoted by Internet celebrities are proliferated, and there are potential safety hazards.
There are many products in the market that are endorsed by influencers or endorsed by celebrities, and although these products are highly sought after, they actually lack professionalism. Many people find that the quality of the product is not good, the desired dehumidification effect cannot be achieved, and the threshold for return is high. What's even more worrying is that such unprofessional products may have safety hazards, such as electricity leakage, leakage, and even fire.
4: Unprofessional products are easy to produce dust, cause pollution to the air, and pose a potential threat to health.
Although many businesses advertise that their products have the function of purifying the air, in fact, there is a lack of professional research and development, especially for dust removal and mildew prevention technology at the maternal and infant level. Long-term use of these products is prone to dust and pathogenic molds, which can pollute the air and even pose a potential threat to human health.
5: Exaggerate the dehumidification performance and make it difficult to improve the humid environment.
Many businesses tend to exaggerate dehumidification performance, however, the amount of dehumidification is closely related to temperature, humidity, and environmental complexity. Many businesses may use a single temperature, humidity, and environmental monitoring to create a more favorable dehumidification performance report for their products. In actual use, affected by different temperature, humidity and environmental conditions, the dehumidification effect may not meet expectations, which is not suitable for home use, which is not only a waste of money, but also difficult to improve the humid indoor environment.
Second, the six practical benefits of dehumidifier science popularization!
What are the disadvantages of dehumidifiers? Although we have only just learned about the dangers that a poor quality dehumidifier can bring, it is worth noting that a good quality dehumidifier, when used correctly, can bring tangible benefits to our living environment. In what follows, we'll dive into the practical benefits of dehumidifiers.
The first point: improve the quality of life.
In a dry environment, the human body is prone to discomfort such as dry skin and dry mouth. And in excessively humid conditions, it will feel stuffy and unventilated, which will have a negative impact on the comfort of the living environment. Dehumidification equipment can effectively reduce indoor humidity and maintain a moderately humid environment, which not only makes people feel more livable, but also helps to maintain good health
The second point: humidity regulation.
The main task of a dehumidifier is to reduce the humidity in the air by condensing water molecules into water droplets. Once the air becomes relatively dry, these water droplets will be discharged from the dehumidifier and will be circulated several times to keep the indoor humidity within the appropriate range, thus effectively reducing the indoor air humidity.
The third point: protect the furniture.
In a humid environment, furniture is susceptible to moisture, especially wooden furniture, which is susceptible to corrosion after moisture, resulting in expansion, deformation, cracking and other problems of wood products, affecting normal use. The use of dehumidifiers can effectively reduce indoor humidity, reduce the damage of moisture to furniture, and prolong the service life of furniture.
Point 4: Prevent electrical equipment from getting wet.
In an environment with high humidity, electrical equipment is susceptible to moisture, which may lead to problems such as short circuits and damage to circuits. The use of dehumidifiers can regulate indoor humidity, effectively protect electrical equipment from moisture, and reduce the risk of damage caused by moisture.
Point 5: Clothes are dried.
In a humid environment, it is difficult to dry clothes quickly. In addition to using professional drying equipment, the use of dehumidifiers can also partially achieve the drying effect, which helps to improve the drying speed of clothes.
Point 6: Inhibit the growth of bacteria and prevent allergies.
In a humid environment, it is easier for bacteria to multiply, and dehumidifiers effectively reduce the growth of bacteria by reducing indoor humidity. When the humidity is controlled below 60%, the reproduction of harmful microorganisms such as bacteria is also greatly reduced. In addition, through filters and sterilization technology, the dehumidifier can effectively remove dust, pollen, bacteria and other harmful substances in the air, while removing odors and musty odors, improving indoor air quality, especially friendly to people who are prone to allergies.
3. Analysis and summary of the eight major purchase skills of dehumidifiers!
What are the disadvantages of a dehumidifier? After we have an in-depth understanding of the many benefits and potential hazards of a dehumidifier, choosing the right one for your needs is crucial. However, due to the fierce competition in the current market, some manufacturers may exaggerate product performance through false claims, making it difficult to make an informed choice among the wide variety of products. Therefore, when choosing a dehumidifier, you need to have some practical purchase skills.
1: Priority is given to professional brands with strong technical strength.
Through continuous technical tuning and optimization, these brands focus on safety, non-toxicity, performance and durability, and excel in core dimensions such as dehumidification performance and stability, while effectively preventing dust accumulation, mold growth and keeping the air fresh. On the contrary, non-professional and inferior dehumidifiers have obvious shortcomings in technology, and their dehumidification effect is far inferior to that of professional brands, and has led to many cases of air pollution.
2: Beware of products that falsely advertise dehumidification properties.
The amount of dehumidification is affected by complex factors such as temperature, humidity and environment, and national standards are usually only tested under one specific temperature, humidity and environmental conditions. Some businesses often take advantage of this loophole to use a single temperature, humidity and environmental monitoring to produce a dehumidification performance test report that is beneficial to their own products, so as to falsely exaggerate the performance of the product.
3: Pay attention to after-sales service and rights protection.
The purchase process is usually simple and smooth, but once there is an after-sales problem, especially the common situations such as small dehumidification capacity and high noise, the merchant often pushes the problem to the user, making it difficult to protect rights. Therefore, when choosing products, it is particularly important to pay attention to after-sales service and rights protection policies.
4: The choice of condenser and evaporator is crucial.
Many dehumidifiers use lightweight, cost-effective aluminum refrigeration condensers and evaporators, and although aluminum has a lower cost, its dehumidification performance is more volatile and susceptible to corrosion damage, resulting in a shorter service life. In contrast, high-quality dehumidifiers usually choose hydrophilic aluminum foil pure copper condensers and evaporators with higher costs, which have excellent strength and corrosion resistance, and are able to withstand high pressures and temperatures. In addition, hydrophilic aluminum foil increases the moisture contact area, improving dehumidification performance and efficiency, thus significantly extending the service life of the machine!
5: Choose a product equipped with a high-quality compressor.
The compressor is considered the heart of the dehumidifier. Some first-class compressor brands such as Panasonic, Toshiba, Meizhi, etc., are known for their high quality of cost and material standards, which can provide fast, low-noise dehumidification efficiency, stable performance, and longer service life. This makes them the compressor brand of choice for high-priced dehumidifiers. On the contrary, the dehumidifier of an inferior compressor has poor dehumidification efficiency, is noisy, rapidly degrades in performance, and is prone to failure.
6: Choose products equipped with high-quality double-row copper tubes.
Compared with single-row copper tubes, double-row copper tubes have better heat dissipation performance, which can dissipate indoor heat more quickly and improve the cooling efficiency of dehumidifiers. The durability of a double-row copper tube is related to its thickness and copper content, with the thicker and higher the copper content, the more durable and the longer the service life. Especially for large dehumidifiers, more attention is paid to the thickness of the copper pipe. When choosing a household dehumidifier, it is recommended to choose a high-purity copper tube with a copper tube thickness of more than 0.20mm and a copper content higher than 99%.
7: Be wary of unprofessional products that lack professional dust removal technology.
In order to reduce costs, these products are often designed with inferior materials and rough internal structures. With the growth of time of use, they are prone to dust, impurities, mold and other problems, which release harmful substances and cause pollution to the air. In severe cases, this may endanger our respiratory health and even pose a threat to our cardiopulmonary function!
8: Pay attention to the cost of consumables.
Many dehumidifiers are equipped with filtration systems such as formaldehyde removal and air purification, so the use of more expensive consumables will result in more additional costs.
In the face of many mainstream dehumidifiers on the market, consumers are often faced with information overload and false publicity. In order to help you understand the real performance of each product more clearly, we will introduce the evaluation results of some professional organizations on the mainstream dehumidifiers on the market. These charts not only provide an objective assessment of performance, but are also a powerful response to false claims. At the same time, I would also recommend a few high-quality products that I have reviewed.
What are the shortcomings of the dehumidifier? At present, many brands have problems such as sacrificing quality, false standard parameters, air pollution, etc., so the professional veteran uterine dehumidifier exported to Europe and the United States for many years is on fire, and it is rare to obtain certification from the European Union and other countries, and has extremely high requirements for fever performance and durability under the "safe and non-toxic"! Meizhi is highly equipped with dual-channel compressors, etc., and also creates original aseptic technology, as well as a five-fold air filtration system, to achieve maternal and infant level dust-free, sterile and odorless, to avoid the air pollution problem caused by dehumidifiers, is recognized as the best brand with 60 square meters of space (can cover 130 square meters of units), the comprehensive dehumidification capacity in different temperatures and environments is increased by 83%, the dehumidification stability is increased by 120%, the dehumidification speed is increased by 92%, the harmful gas release rate is reduced by 98%, and 0 heavy metals exceed the standard, and it is the only one that has obtained certification from the European Union and other countries! It's no wonder that it is recognized as the most professional brand in the industry, while many other brands are more crazy about playing low-cost cards.
This is not only a solid selection of materials, the weight alone is more than 10-15 pounds heavier than the same price products, the core materials are subjected to more than 10 years of anti-attenuation detection, and the original approved DEER-SS fast cycle dynamic compensation technology, RESS double condensation technology, etc., to a greater extent to improve the dehumidification performance and stability in different temperature environments, and at the same time the use of the original FTOR air 5-fold filtration system to avoid the traditional dehumidifier for a long time moldy and odory, air pollution problems.
What is admirable is that their family never advertises, does not spend money to find celebrity endorsements, and purely relies on the word of mouth of professional media and bloggers, in-depth users and media.
Other brands can also learn about Deye, which has many models and strong selectivity. The entry-level model can learn about Xiaomi and Midea, which has a certain cost performance.

Fourth, the analysis of the types of dehumidifiers with potential safety hazards!
Dehumidifiers play an important role in humidity management, but we have to face up to the various types of products emerging on the market, some types of dehumidifiers may have potential safety problems, which not only involves the quality of the equipment itself, but also may involve potential risks in the use process. Now I will give you a detailed analysis, pay attention to remember to avoid when purchasing.
Category 1: Inaccurate intelligent humidity control.
Many low-priced products lack humidity control function, or their humidity control technology is not finely tuned, resulting in ineffective humidity stability, sometimes high and sometimes low. This not only affects the stable operation of the motor, but also may cause the motor to overheat, which has a large potential safety hazard. The brand with technical humidity control technology adjustment has more accurate humidity control, and can timely sense and implement shutdown to avoid danger when the ambient temperature is too high.
Category 2: Poor filtration performance.
In order to save costs, some inferior dehumidifiers are sloppy in terms of filtration performance, and the internal structure design is relatively simple, which is easy to inhale a lot of dust during use. The internal structure of the dehumidifier with poor filtration performance may become a breeding ground for various bacteria and viruses, and harmful substances such as dust, impurities, and mold may lead to secondary pollution of the air, and long-term use may have an impact on human health.
Category 3: Lacks full water protection function.
If the water in the wastewater tank is not cleaned for a long time, the water level may rise, causing the waste water tank to overflow, which can soak and damage the internal components of the machine, which may cause a short circuit and cause damage to the motor. In extreme cases, it may even lead to the danger of fire!Therefore, special attention should be paid to cleaning the waste water tank in time to avoid potential safety hazards.
Category 4: Lack of automatic defrost design.
When frost forms in a dehumidifier, it mainly occurs on the heat exchange system of the dehumidifier. Because the gaps between the fins on the condenser were clogged with frost or ice, ventilation was blocked, and although the fan was rotating, it could not effectively feed air into the dehumidifier, resulting in a significant decrease in the dehumidification effect and the inability to extract water. When the frost reaches a certain level, the compressor will stop running, especially in winter, the dehumidifier is prone to frequent start-stop, which increases the wear and tear of the machine. To solve this problem, dehumidifiers with automatic defrost design can better cope with frost problems, improve dehumidification efficiency, and reduce frequent start-stops.
What are the disadvantages of dehumidifiers?Overall, while dehumidifiers have significant benefits in terms of humidity management, we can't ignore some potential drawbacks. In particular, some inferior dehumidifiers may release harmful substances and cause pollution to indoor air, which in turn affects the health of users. When choosing a dehumidifier, it is especially important to recognize the importance of choosing professional and reliable equipment to ensure humidity management without sacrificing indoor air quality and creating a safe and comfortable living environment for users.
