There are kits like this sold online, the one linked, specifically type 4 with a drawer, work as follows.
- Put about 1-2 cm of water in, optional an icepack.
- Run your dryer.
- At the end of the cycle, dump the collected condensed water, optionally swapping the ice pack.
Do these work well enough to dehumidify dryer output in a rental environment?
Edit 1: For those recommending me to buy a ventless / condenser / heat pump dryer.
Feel free to send me $50-100 each, as I cannot afford one.
Do note, I do have a vent near where my dryer is, it is just very loud. Thus why I was thinking of supplementing it with this.
Thank you for your story! I appreciate it.
Np. Rereading it now, I’m sorry my wording was so firm and final, but my experience was so terrible I felt I couldn’t let it happen to another person.
I am almost convinced these things are actual scams just to make money no matter the costs, not just a poor product that underperforms. I think they persist because it seems so plausible that it could work, but it just flat out does not, and the manufacturers just don’t care as long as it still sells.
