The device broke and the company is not willing to fix it under warranty!!! buy at your own. Worthless.

Great dehumidifier
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Even using the item for the last week and it’s pulling loads of moisture out, not overly noisey in fact more than bearable. I like the easy to read colour coding for the humidity levels. Over all we have noticed a real improvement inside the house. Whilst I haven’t used the laundry setting when we have had to have some clothes inside to dry due to the weather and the unit has been operating in the same room it has really dried the clothes quickly, overall really impressed.

Doesn't work with Google Home/Alexa but can be configured with rules in the App
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Bought this from Appliance Direct, wish I'd have bought from Amazon as it took over a week and a half despite being next day delivery on Amazon supplied by Appliance Direct?!?Anyway after a few days of use I thought I'd write a review as it was a bit of a minefield when deciding which one to buy. After suffering from damp, mould and condensation after having insulation fitted to the house I decided it was time to buy a dehumidifier to combat the problems. It's size is Ideal, not too fat and cumbersome and the design is modern and clean. The filter door is very thin and could easily break if heavy handed so take care. It draws a surprising amount of moisture out of the air very quickly and is very satisfying emptying the water knowing that it would end up on the windows/walls otherwise. Some people have mentioned it's quiet enough to be in the bedroom, personally I don't think it's as whisper quiet as some people say. But it's good at what it does.Smart / Wifi: I decided to pay the extra for Wifi as I have Google Home, unfortunatley it doesn't work with Google Home and from what I've read nor does it work with Alexa, this was a bit disappointing initially however I've now discovered I can essentially make it 'smart' via the app. There is an Auto button on the Dehumidifier which aims to get to ~50-55% Humidity, unfortunately it seemed to never switch off when it got to this hence playing around with the App, I've now created rules via the App to Power on when Humidity is >60% and power off again when it gets to <50% this seems to work well and now I'm happy that it's got an element of smart functions that suit me to set and forget (Obviously you'll need to manually empty the tank every so often).Also gave this a test run with Laundry and a load of washing on maidens dried in a closed room in a little over a couple of hours which I was very impressed about, this in itself makes it worth the money. So to sum it up, I'm very happy with the purchase so far and would recommend.

Good dehumidifier but NOT a "smart" appliance
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

The unit itself does exactly what you would expect from a dehumidifier with a couple of extra nice touches like the ioniser, UV and carbon filter, no complains here.

The 3-star review is due to the claim that it is a "smart" appliance.

Although the mobile app is a nice extra (comes with its own set of issues), the manufacturer cannot claim that this is a smart appliance just for that.

Where are the Alexa or any other home assistant skills?
Where are the integrations with IFTTT, SmartThings or other home automation hub integrations?

Going back to the mobile app, as another reviewer mentioned, one needs to disable the 5GHz radio on their WAP in order to pair the device with the app.
Another issue with the app is that you cannot use your custom settings on a schedule. Only the five presets that come with it.

The least they can do is to document and release info of the API. Maybe by doing this, competend people might jump in and create these integrations...

If you don't have client isolation enabled or a segregated environment on your network, think twice before add it: A lot of the traffic going out, is over HTTP (unencrypted) ;)

Good purchase - but a little buggy
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

It does work but the humidity monitor exaggerates the level. I doubt the accuracy of this devices humidity readings, however on the lowest settings it definitely works. The bundled remote is very buggy too. The external case of the unit looks to be very thin and tightly packed - there are some 'dipples' on the surface which could turn into cracks over time.Update: the handle broke whilst the device was lifted from the ground. The hooks where the handle fit to the device are very weak - be careful and do not lift using the handle to any real height or distance.

Two Faulty Units...
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

 I ordered this condenser dehumidifier directly from Appliances Direct, who appear to be the main supplier of the product here on Amazon. The first time the unit arrived, I found that it wasn't collecting a single drop of water, meaning the compressor was defective.Appliances Direct were kind enough to send a replacement, however that ended up having a faulty humidity sensor/reading, which would show a value that sporadically jumped up and down (see attached video). Lost all faith in ElectriQ by that point, so just returned to Appliances Direct for a full refund.As for the product itself, it's a mixed bag. Pros:- Sleek modern design. The large 3-colour LED indicator is a nice touch.- 3 stage air purification, i.e. plasma ioniser, carbon filter, and internal UV light.- Relatively quiet operation, even on the "high" fan setting.- Wifi app, so you can control and monitor the unit remotely.- Energy efficient, especially when the adaptive "smart" setting is selected.As for cons:- Wasn't too impressed with its ability to dry laundry, even at the recommended room temperature of 20°C.- Caster wheels don't swivel and are shallow (not effective on carpet), so they're essentially useless. If you're not able to comfortably carry 14.3kg (31.5lbs), this could be a problem.- Impractically short power cord, 1.5m approx.- Wifi app was temperamental to set up, due to my residence using a dual band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) wifi router. Since this product is only compatible with 2.4 GHz, but may try to connect to the 5 GHz band, you literally have to go into your wifi hub's settings and disable 5 GHz, then proceed as normal. You can re-enable the 5 GHz band once the wifi app is fully set up.- The supplied remote is mostly useless, since it requires line of sight to the front of the unit, and the wifi app has almost all the same functionality, aside from the remote having its own humidistat.- Some flimsy plastic parts, i.e. the door to the water tank, and the air outlet flap.In conclusion, my experience with this dehumidifier was disappoi

Quiet and effective (but not for long)
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

I like this dehumidifier because it does a good job of keeping our 4 bed house below 50% humidity and it does so without making much noise, unlike our previous machines. My wife particularly likes the laundry mode, which can be used to direct dry air on to a rack of wet clothes, drying them quite quickly. The control panel buttons are reasonably self-explanatory and there's a timer option so you can set the machine to turn off at night if you wish. The instruction booklet is clear, though incorrect in a couple of places.Setting up the machine to operate it over wifi can be a bit of a challenge. The machine's electronic design doesn't cope with modern dual-band wifi routers which transmit on 2.4GHz and 5GHz, when the 2 bands have the same name. It will simply refuse to connect unless the 2 router bands are renamed with a different name for each one. Instructions for renaming router bands are usually put on-line by your internet provider. In my case I have a Virgin router and I simply followed the instructions provided by Virgin. It's not that difficult to do.The dehumidifier comes with a peculiarly useless remote control. Mine is feeble to the point that it won't work from more than about 3 feet away from the machine and I have to point it directly at a specific spot on the front of the machine for it to work at all. The On/Off button on the remote doesn't turn the dehumidifier on or off, but just turns the remote itself on or off! Most of the remote buttons do seem to show an effect on the remote display but don't change anything on the machine itself. For all practical purposes the remote control is utterly useless and it's much easier to operate the machine via wifi or directly via its control panel.All in all I think this is a good machine apart from the remote. We've had 3 previous dehumidifiers which have all expired after 7 or 8 years. It will be interesting to see if this one lasts any longer.EDIT 27/07/20: Well, I have an answer to my last paragraph above. Today the machine displayed E5 (“A

Excellent dehumidifier with many advanced features
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

I don't yet know its durability but I have given it 5 stars in the hope that it is.What it definitely is, is an unobtrusive and quiet dehumidifier that has a thankfully small footprint in comparison to my old monster device (well over double the depth, twice the wattage and noisy) that eventually failed.I note some say that the lead is too short and the water tank too small; the lead is about 1.5 metres which is enough for my situation and before I attached a drain hose I needed to empty the dehumidifier daily but it does have a lot of dampness to remove right now.So perhaps some complaint about the tank size is justified but, to be fair, it's a trade-off related to its small footprint; one cannot have both. But also, in order to fit its slender style, the shape of the tank does make it a bit tricky to slide out and handle, especially when full. My old unit had a larger tank with an integrated handle that slid out the front at an angle and easily lifted away; and it's a pity that some form of handle(s) could not be fashioned into the electriQ tank to make it easier. But another small point is that it's useful that the unit can be as close as 20cm to a wall but that then requires the unit to be moved forward to gain access to the tank. For me these are all moot points as I now use a drain hose, which was always my intention.I think it is remarkably quiet especially on the AUTO setting when I hardly notice it is running; one has to accept that with the fan on HIGH there will be some extra noise, but that too is much less than my old unit, so I'm happy.The electriQ connected to my WiFi easily but:1. First ensure the Android App is installed and registered with the electriQ server to allow remote access from anywhere (it works in a similar way to the TP-Link KASA system - it might actually be the same system?).2. The instructions say the electriQ makes 3 beeps after pressing the MODE button - it doesn't (well mine didn't) so after 20 seconds I carried on regardless assuming it was by then ready to connect to my WiFi
