Pro Breeze 500ml Dehumidifier

Great small dehumidifier, does the job, hardly any noise, would recommend,

I got this after a couple of incidents that required a dehumidifier. I got a loan of a friends one for drying me out, they have a big one that cost more than £200 and it does an excellent job, pulls a ridiculous amount of water out. Thought it was time I got my own one. Compared to that this thing doesn't compare obviously, it’s around a quarter of the size and quarter of the price, however put it to work and leave it doing its thing and slowly the tank begins to fill. I would say it’s better suited to something to help a damp area rather than an emergency drier outer. Loses a star as despite the description stating “whisper quiet” it isn’t. I mean it isn’t loud noisy just a motor whirring kind of noise but being in the same room as it would be annoying. I have an entry stairway in my flat that doesn’t have a radiator so it can get a bit damp in the winter, carpet gets wet with soggy shoes and never dries properly kind of thing, so I just leave this thing running now and again, it sucks out some water, window seems to have less condensation and no mouldy parts appearing on the walls so it seems to be doing the job. In summary it’s a dehumidifier, it dehumidifies but don’t go expecting to be amazed by the amount of water it can extract, for that you will need to spend a bit more money. It’s a bit noisy, you certainly wouldn’t want to have it in your bedroom. But for the price it does a decent job.

Really good size as it doesn't take over the room. It's really quiet and you hardly notice it working but the results are clear. Lots of water collected. Excellent value for money.

I bought this at the end of November 2016 for our dining room as the kitchen adjoins it and we hoped it would reduce the condensation on the UPVC French windows overnight. We only use it in for some of the winter months and then it is cleaned up and stored in the cupboard under the stairs. So we only used it Nov, Dec, 2016 and Jan, Feb 2017 AND same 2017/18. We got it out the other day to put in into as the condensation is starting to build up....and I am pretty shocked quite frankly. Well shocked doesn't begin to describe it actually. We switch the unit on overnight - from about midnight to 6am - and then turn it off when we get up, and it's off for the rest of the day. Well that's what we did last year. However, the first night we put it I went to bed but two hours later came down for some water and I could smell burning immediately as I opened the living room door. Strong smell. Lights went on, walked through to back room (dining room) and could see smoke coming from the dehumidifier. I immediately yanked the plug out. You can see from the images that the plastic cover inside was burning and the on/of circuit board switch is totally burnt out and the wire burnt and detached. So my wife and I are left wondering what may have happened if I hadn't gone down for more water. I very rarely do! I cannot find a way of getting hold of the company that sold this to me through Amazon so I am posting this warning here. This is the Pro Breeze with the black power block sold by One Retail Group through Amazon. I looked through the reviews and have noticed someone else's caught fire as well. --update 28/11/2018 After scouring every review for this product, and the comments, I eventually found a contact email for someone at One Retail Group...so I used that address to report this issue. I was contacted within 48 hours by someone at One Retail Group and then offered a refund or replacement. I was initially set on a refund but instead asked for a replacement on the condition that they were sure that the products were safe now. A replacement product was promptly dispatched and I received it 48 hours later, so I took that to mean that they were absolutely sure it was safe now. For your information: the replacement looks EXACTLY the same as the first one, EXCEPT for one very important difference: it does NOT have a big black power block. Instead the unit has a power lead and that it plugs directly into the mains. So I am guessing that the absence of the big power block is pointing towards the power block being the issue. Indeed, on refection, I do recall touching the block once and it felt very hot. And, looking through the reviews here I can see a good number of photos of melted power blocks and reports of the block not working. It is important to me that I provide a fair and balanced review. On that basis, I will say that I am very pleased that this company - once I had uncovered a contact email for them - responded quickly and professionally to my email to report this problem. They dealt with the matter without any nonsense or hesitation, and the replacement product they sent out has been running for over 100 hours continuously and it isn't even warm: I chose to 'run it in' to make certain it was okay for my own peace of mind. It seems very clear that whatever problems the last 'version' had seem to have been eradicated in this version without the power block. My advice to anyone having any issues with this product is to contact the company directly. I contacted Ali Noori, the customer service contact using the email address [email protected]. They were very professional and accommodating and resolved the matter without any fuss. As a note, I do not feel it would be appropriate for me to remove my original review given the nature of what occurred. However, I do think it is entirely proper and fair to let people know how One Retail Group dealt with this issue when I contacted them and to especially highlight their professional response and readiness to resolve the issue quickly and without fuss.

Small, compact, quiet but really effective. Brilliant little unit. Would recommend.

Works well at dehumidifying the room and easy to remove water once collected. Doesn’t take up too much space and is silent enough to be ignored if sleeping in the same room. It is easy enough to use, just plug in and switch on and it will do the rest of the work. Only downside being that the device gave up on me after 1 year of good use.

Perfect size for childrens bedroom. Not to noisy. Great price.

I’m in my 4th one. I have 2 on the going the flat at all times. They are brilliant for removing moisture from the air. Only issue is that they don’t last too long before they start to make an awful noise or just stop working. Maybe a couple of years but that said, they are so cheap to buy and to run its a no brainer. You won’t regret getting one. Easy to empty too.

Arrivato con nastro adesivo che teneva la scatola evidentemente già aperta e anche l'articolo dava l'impressione di essere stato quanto meno esposto o comunque disimballato

Very effective and kinda quite

C'est déjà le deuxième que j’achète. Techno simple et fiable (module Peltier) fonctionnement assez silencieux...Le seul Hic est que j'aurai souhaité une prise secteur de "chez nous" et pas une britanique !

I am quite impressed - it's a small, light machine - since I have plugged it in 1hr ago already collected quite some moisture! I have a 1bedroom flat and I think it will be enough. For better efficiency- I close the room where it's working. It's quiet in my opinion - good quality built. It is dramatically missing a handle or a way to easily grab it. I definitely recommend it.

After only 2 hours of operation, the plug/adapter was burning hot (I couldn’t hold it!). I unplugged it immediately and needless to say was not comfortable keeping it on or using it since. Definitely will have to return it.
