Product Description:
I bought this dehumidifier mainly to reduce condensation and mould in my home, as well as to help dry clothes when it’s wet outside.
It weighs around 13 kg when empty and has wheels, making it easy to move around.
It can extract up to 12L of moisture per day, which makes it suitable for a 2–3 bedroom house.

The collected water drains into a tank located in the bottom drawer.
On the top, you’ll find the controls and the air outlet
On the back, you’ll find the filter and the continuous drain port

Now let's explore the controls
The Power icon – Turns the appliance on or off.
The Mode icon – Allows you to select between Smart, Purify, Dehumidify, and Laundry.

In Smart Mode
The unit will aim for 55% humidity and the compressor will only run when necessary, saving energy and keeping the room at an ideal humidity level.

In Purify Mode
The fan runs but no water is extracted.
In this mode You can also press the UV button to enable UV, ioniser, or both for maximum purification.

In Dehumidify Mode, the unit removes moisture from the air.
You can adjust the fan speed using the fan icon, with 6 levels from F1 (lowest) to F6 (highest).
You can also set your desired humidity level using the plus and minus buttons.

And the final mode is Laundry Mode
Here the unit Runs at the highest fan speed with a target humidity of 35% to remove as much moisture as possible.

Now I will show you the remaining buttons.

The clock icon is for setting a Timer – While the unit is running, press it to schedule the unit to turn off after a set number of hours.
Use the plus/minus buttons to choose the time. For example I've set it to turn off automatically after 2 hours.
When the unit is off, the same button allows you to schedule when it will turn on.

Press the Sleep Mode icon to dim all lights and run the fan at a low speed. Press it again to return it back.

Swing icon – Press the swing button to enable or disable oscillation.(press). now the swing has stopped. Press it again to resume.
