hOmeLabs 12L Dehumidifier – Quiet 37dB, 1.5L Tank, 100cm Drain Hose, Auto Defrost, Timer, Continuous Drain – Portable Moisture Remover for Bedroom, Bathroom, Closet, Laundry, Office

I’ve been using the homelabs portable dehumidifier for a while now, and I couldn’t be happier with it. I bought it because the humidity in my home was getting uncomfortable, and it’s made a huge difference. It pulls moisture from the air efficiently, and I noticed results within the first day. The air feels fresher, and there's no more damp smell in my bedroom. It’s also helped reduce condensation on the windows and has made the space feel much more comfortable overall. The design is compact but powerful. It runs quietly, and the water tank is easy to remove and empty. I also love that it has an automatic shut-off when the tank is full and a clear indicator light, so you know when it needs attention.

For years I had a bathroom that was plagued with black mold due to excessive humidity. The little dots would appears along the tops of the walls shortly after I'd scrubbed them or painted over them, and then bloom into larger rosettes within weeks. We tried squirting bleach at them, we scrubbed them routinely, and they went away only to appear again a few weeks later. We tried leaving the door open to let some of the humidity out, but that meant less privacy. We opened the window in the summertime, and that helped, but in the winter it was far too cold. Then I stumbled across this machine while on vacation at my sister-in-laws house and the solution was clear. I'm one of those people who obsessively research a major-ish purchase like this before I buy it. I don't like dropping cash on something that later turns out to be a dud, so I read reviews and comparisons and went and looked a few items in stores. Finally, I bought this machine and it's terrific. It works effectively and is easy to use. I empty it about once/week and clean the filter on average once/month. I'm very satisfied - if you're looking for a good, quality dehumidifier with great customer support look no further. UPDATE 2/10/19: My original unit stopped working after a few months so I reached out to HOmelabs and they substituted it for free. The replacement has been chugging away for nearly a year now without any issues - faithfully sucking the moisture out of the air and drying out my steamy bathroom. Best of all - ZERO black mold. Love this unit and would highly recommend both the appliance and the brand. UPDATE 7/6/20: this little beast is still going strong. Sucks the humidity out of the bathroom in the winter and then moves to the basement in the summer. Runs 25/7/365 without complaint or missing a beat. Pretty economical to run, too. Would recommend and buy another whenever the time comes. UPDATE 5/14/22: This little champ is still going after nearly five years. It runs daily, faithfully dehumidifying our bathroom which sees 3-4 steaming hot showers per day (kids have grown into smelly teenagers since we’ve had this thing). I haven’t seen mold in so long I’ve forgotten what it looks like. About to pull the trigger on buying another unit for the basement over the summer, which will then replace the original on the bathroom/basement rotation when it eventually has to “go play with its friends on a farm upstate” someday. UPDATE 7/31/23: This thing is truly the energizer bunny of dehumidifiers. It’s getting a little noisier and perhaps a little less efficient but after 5.5 years of non-stop service it has held up extremely well for a consumer grade appliance. I still haven’t subbed it out for a new one (probably will do so as we get back into fall and the bathroom window closes). When I do getting another one of these will be the easiest decision of the year. UPDATE 8/16/25: The darn thing is still going! The thing is like Edison’s lightbulb. As long as I don’t touch it, look at it, or even acknowledge its presence it just keeps faithfully working, keeping the basement dry during this swampy hot summer. I have this thing for eight years now and it’s been in almost continual service. Sure, it’s a little noisy but like Boxer from Animal Farm it just keeps optimistically pushing forward, so we’re riding this one to the bitter end to see how long it will keep going.

Love it, absolute game changer! I live in a Brooklyn apartment and our increasingly hot, increasingly long summers are HUMID (did you know NYC was zoned as subtropical in 2020??). While I do run two A/Cs, it really wasn't even enough. The dehumidifier has significantly improved my indoor air quality (I work from home). It's easy to use and easy to empty out. It stops running when the container is full, no problems at all with it leaking or overflowing. It's also compact and sits flush against a wall without being an eyesore. Worth the investment for me!

Great product. No issues so far this product runs well.

This did not take in any water at all for me and I tried it over the course of 3 days
