After many reviews are not sooo intoxicating and the small Peltier devices in div. Internet forums are panned, I had not a very good feeling when ordering. After the first order was then also canceled by Amazon (supposedly no longer available), I first wanted to do without the purchase. A few days later, the thing was then again available and I have - despite all the warnings - slammed. Now the small appliance is (about as big as a heater) in a small storage room (approx 3,5m²) right behind my desk working and I could not complain that it would be particularly noisy. So far I had (to mold prevention) in the storage room are a chemical dehumidifier - this has but for the same amount of water (about two "double" at about 18 ° C and 41% humidity shot glasses full) that the DH600 in approximately 5 has managed to hours, min. needed a week! I'm using the dehumidifying performance so thoroughly satisfied. Also as far as the odor of the device, I can not really tell the worst. Man straightening the thing though (like all new white goods or things made of plastic) a little but I know vieeeeel more unpleasant - I also appreciate that the smell after a few days should be completely gone. The preparation, etc. is no problem at all. So for small spaces an absolute recommendation. The durability remains to be seen - should the part wear out quickly, I'll note it here later ;-).
Addendum: after I have further tested the device now, the good impression has intensified. By my calculations, the thing about 30x is as effective as my old chemical dehumidifier (Ceresit) and I have to buy any (relatively expensive) Tabs for more. The power consumption keeps sic limited and thus, the acquisition is expected to have (at two years warranty) paid off for me in any case :-).
