Inventor Dehumidifiers Rise 8L (Desiccant)

A very effective dehumidifier which does not rely on a warm ambient temperature to work. It absolutely reduces humidity levels, steamy landings after showers and baths are easily rectified, neat and easy to use. The only slight negative is the very brittle build of the reservoir which feels as though it is trying it's best not to snap, it really lets the unit down. Overall very pleased, and a good unit.

The best dehumidifier I've had. Packs a load of suction power, meaning in very humid room such as mine at the time (20-25C, 60-70% RH) it could bring it down to 40% RH easily. In small or more dry spaces and areas it is probably too much to keep on all the time as the desiccant design makes it able to remove moisture in relatively dry humidity levels as well. The full power is quite loud but effective. The item has a compressor which means it blows out heated dry air constantly, something to keep in mind. The lowest setting works well in most applications and is relatively quiet (but not really silent), it can most likely even dry out the whole apartment if kept on continuously for a long time (did that when the effect was too big on a single room). The tank is 2L and in humid places or full power prepare to empty it quite often. It works really well because of the desiccant design. The only problem with the desiccant disk is that it absorbs smells and particles quite effectively which in turn comes out as warm air from the blower. I accidentally spilled essential oil in my room which got sucked by the dehumidifier from the air and long after the oil was cleaned from the room the same smell still kept coming out from the item. I tried to fix this issue by running it on full power outside (guidance from manual) but the problem didn't seem to go away after trying this a while. Perhaps a long time like this would have made a difference but I can assume that certain particles and smells probably can't be removed from the dehumidifier's disk which is irremovable unfortunately. If this isn't a problem, I would recommend it, especially if it's on sale.

Wow one if the best purchases I have made. Our conservatory suffered very badly from condensation and was ruining our furniture. Got this and can't believe the difference even with only using once a day for an hour, no condensation! Quality item with a good price, not the cheapest but much cheaper than the expensive names. Easy to use and move around. Noise levels ok. I also live how it emits a nice level of heat at same time.

Really like this dehumidifier. It's a good size weight and seems to clear/dry a room size space its easy to move from space to space. I'm setting timer to a hour and then running for several hour stints throughout the day - it keeps room drier and smells clean. If it's set to turbo fast - it can dry space really quickly (good for first use) but bare in mind this is 650 watts and is more costly over time and noisy. Not quite sure the relationship/ best working solution between fan speed and mode? but medium speed normal mode (240watts) seems a good balance. In order to get it quiet it needs to be set to eco and slow which I'm not if that does alot? The ioniser does actually seems to work... No idea how though? 😂 Yep overall I'm happy with this...seems a great balance suited well to a domestic room sized solution. Time will tell over build quality - 2 year warranty is a good offer but bear in mind company is based in Greece - hopefully if ever returning shipping to UK location for repair etc? All in all well done Inventor.

This thing was used over winter in my caravan. It was the only electrical device in the caravan when my caravan set on fire. The blaze wiped out two cars, 3 trees and spread to my house causing around £300k damage. AVOID !

We bought this primarily to dry washing this winter in a flat. It’s been brilliant! Placed in a small utility room it dries bedding quickly and even heavy cotton towels are dry in a couple of hours. This is using the “high” setting and haven’t had a need to go “ turbo” mode. Our first months full electricity usage hadn’t increased measurably either. As a bonus, the unit also helps to heat the flat which will save on gas heating: we found that closing the door to the utility / drying room resulted in a VERY warm room very quickly! Better to use that warmed air to warm us! So impressed with the dehumidifier that I bought a second unit to help keep a barely occupied flat less damp. Works extremely well in “eco” mode to maintain a healthy humidity level in a Victorian era flat that has heating set low around 16 degrees C. With the fan on its lowest setting the noise is fairly unobtrusive, and is actually quiet a reassuring background whoosh.

Works a charm and it's not really that expensive to run. Perfect for a bedroom that gets damp and cold in winter. Not powerful enough to cover the full flat tho (I also have a refrigerant model in the lounge for laundry reasons). I leave it on medium setting when I am out for work and I drain about 1.5 litres of water every two days. Uk sure is a humid place to live in. It has some flaws tho. Can't really sleep in the same room when it's running in automatic mode because it always starts at maximum power which is NOISY. Water tank is flimsy, I never let it fill fully to avoid spilling water when taking it to the sink. Minor leaks at the base will happen, so be careful if you plan to use it on carpet. You will have to put something waterproof under it. Would buy again, performance is good and is less noisy than the refrigerant type.
