WindChaser Mini Dehumidifier Specifications
The 65-watt WindChaser mini dehumidifier takes unpleasant moisture and must out of the air in small spaces like bathrooms, laundry rooms, and storage closets. Specially designed for tight quarters, the unit comes with a diminutive construction and a whisper-quiet compressor-free motor so that you may not even notice it working away. In conditions of 86 degrees F and 80 percent relative humidity, the dehumidifier removes .803 pints per day, storing the collected moisture in an easily removed transparent bottom tank. Even though it's tidily constructed, the tank holds 2.11 pints at a time, so you don't have to empty it every day.
Operation of the dehumidifier is markedly simple--just push the rocker switch to "on" and walk away. The unit automatically turns off when the tank is full and illuminates a "full" signal light. Helpful structural details include an inset carrying handle, protective rubber feet, and an upward dry-air outlet. WindChaser also includes a one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

It is useless after a few months - M. St James - La Jolla CA
Wanted to give it no stars but that wasn't an option...I purchased one...worked great and quietly for about 6 months...it died...they replaced it for about 1/2 the cost...that one died after about 3 months. Tried a third time...it died...I learned my lesson! It's not worth the money or hassle.
Pros and Cons - Weigh them Yee Haw - Daniel R. Dreifort - the lap of luxury
There's a lot to love and little to hate about the Windchaser Mini Dehumidifier.
PROS
-small
-quiet
-low operating temperature (about 79F)
-low power consumption (the Peltier element should be used more by other products!)
-great customer support
-easy to repair
CONS
-seasonal maintenance - it will "break"
-small reservoir
-with no option to continually drain (e.g. into a... floor drain!)
When these things "break" it's just a matter of removing a few screws and some tape to get to the fan's bearing cover. Remove that, add some oil and reassemble. It's annoying, but these things are otherwise great. If you have problems, Windchaser customer support is pretty good. They're not the fastest to respond and their site/interface with the customer could be better, but they're very friendly and the end results of the user/company interaction is as desired: happiness!
If you need dry air in smallish areas, these things rock. Their features (PROS) are top notch and nobody else offers them.
I own two of this model and one of a slightly larger model.
Once again... - Brian Kliesen - Dodge City, KS
This unit works well in a small confined area, such as under a stariwell or a closet. The dehumidifyer ran for almost a year before I needed to re-oil the unit as has been previously mentioned. The fix is so easy, it should be included in the product manual. The reservoir is small and it is easy to forget about it when it is running. Another fix that has been mentioned is drilling a hole in the removable reservoir and gluing a line in so that it can drain into a larger container or even into a drain. I did this and now the dehumidifyer sits on a 5 gallon bucket. I figure by the time it fills the bucket I need to 'check the oil' anyway. The dehumidifyer is efficient enough that when it is damp it can fill in as little as two to three days.
