Talk:3109: Dehumidifier

Having network access can have some use for a dehumidifier, e.g. to remotely set the target humidity level, or get notifications when the water tank needs to get emptied. But having devices that depend on a specific app or a vendor-provided remote service risks having a useless device after a while ... --134.102.219.31 13:19, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

Humidifiers typically have a physical control to set a target humidity level, and even the most basic models turn off when the water tank gets full. Since humans can't really tell the difference between 40-60%, which is the range of most humidifiers, there is no need for a remote control to change the humidity levels on a machine. As for the water tank, regular use of the humidifier will teach the user about how long it can run before turning off and needing to be emptied. 136.62.110.93 (talk) 13:58, 30 June 2025 (UTC) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

Though there might be a device that attempts to do both jobs, note that this is a dehumidifier (as you functionally refer to) and not necessarily also a capable humidifier (as you namechecked it). 92.23.2.228 17:53, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

I restored the part about phases of ice, because dehumidifiers do deal with ice (when icing up, and if the ambient temperature gets low). Mostly put it back because I thought a mention of ice-nine would be fun. 2600:387:4:803:0:0:0:B2 20:42, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
