I'm in the market for a dehumidifier. Something to use in the bathroom for now, but also that can be used in other rooms if necessary. I found a few I like but I'm confused about something when reading the "specs".
Due to the dampness in the bathroom right now, I want it to be able to run continuously, where I just need to empty the bucket when full. But in the specs, they say that they have (most dehumififiers have this), a "Max running time" of 2000 h.
What does the running time mean?? Will the unit fail after just a few weeks of usage? When I read reviews and such it seems like most people just turn it on and leave it on and either empty the bucket when full or attach the drain hose...for continuous use. But if it only has a 2000h running time why would a unit offer a drain hose option?
Maybe this is a dumb question, but I really don't know where/how this "max running time" applies????
