Design And Usability

A vacuum cleaner company that has ties with Xiaomi, Deerma new renewable dehumidifier is their latest tiny invention. At 3 inches in diameter and 8.1 inches in height, it is very compact and portable despite not the smallest in its class. The 1.8 pounds weight is on the heavier side due to the leak-proof, spill-free, and high-quality ABS flame-resistant cylinder body. There is also a transparent visualization window that you can peek at to see if is time to recharge the mini dehumidifier. Recharge when the crystallized silica gel beads turned from orange to dark green.

The cordless setup means you can place it in the washroom, RV, car, and boat cabin with no restriction. The only letdown is probably the standard 1-year warranty which competitors model like Eva-dry offers up to 5 years.

Dehumidification Technology

Deermaelectric mini dehumidifier uses a familiar, renewable crystallized silica gel technology. A desiccant, porous granular silicon dioxide made entirely from sodium silicate. Each silica gel bead contains many hidden interconnected pores that join up to form a large surface area. Through chemical adsorption, moisture in the air will seep in and absorbed by the silica gel. It is estimated that each bead can hold up to 40% of moisture to its weight thus the extended 2 to 3 weeks usage time.
