Dehumidifiers
What is the general consensus on dehumidifiers in HK? I have heard that they are a good idea. However, I don't know if they are that important or where to get one.

I have a very small apartment and don't want to have to spend a great deal on a unit that would work for a large house. I am also only here about one year and don't want to sink too much money into one.

Any suggestions.

You won't really need one for the coming few months. The seasons are just starting to change and the climate is slowly getting cooler and drier. You'll only need the dehumidifier for the spring and summer months when its hot and humid.

You don't need one for a small flat. Open the windows and let it ventilate or close them and run the air-con. Modern air-cons provide a dehumidify function.

I have a different experience. When we first moved to Hong Kong it was the first of March. It was cold and humid. It SUCKED that it was cold and humid because it made it feel more humid and I couldn't turn on the air conditioner to dry the air. So, from my perspective, I think you need one for the winter more then summer but I have only been here one year.

One of the problems with Dehum's + Winter humidity is that one has to keep an eye on the chiller coils - they d*mned well freeze up with thick layers of ice! (And keep chugging on building up more and more ice till the dehum is switched off to allow a melt).

Actually, most air conditioning units have a 'dry' which does just that, i.e., remove humidity from the air without cooling. Can be used at any time, including during the winter/in cold conditions.
