Effective Humidifier

I got this dehumidifier as part of a Butterly campaign and was really impressed with it. It did do a really good job at reducing the humidity in the room. Our room had a high 88% humidity and lowered it to 43% within 15-20 mins. One thing to keep in mind is that it is a bit loud if you are next to it and if your room is warm it will still stay warm (so it won't be releasing cool air and does release a bit of heat). The set-up was pretty straightforward with the app and it is great that you can control it without being in the room and can set a specific time for it to go on. It does have wheels so it is easy to move around, but it is heavy if you are trying to pick it up. Overall I do recommend it and think it is pretty effective

Looking good

Even with central air and heating, there are a couple of zones in my house that seem to have two seasons: dry as a desert, and tropical humidity. While we're in the dry season, I jumped at the chance offered by Butterly and Noma to try the Noma iQ 50 Pint 2-Speed Dehumidifier free in exchange for my honest opinion, because we will need it. My testing was done in the main part of the house, so it's not in a very humid area at present.

I like that the machine is easy to move once you have it on the floor you want it on, the wheels and compact packaging is better than some other units I have checked out that make it impossible for someone like me with chronic pain to move it at all once out of the box. It is not a one person job for me to move it from one floor to another, to keep the unit secure and pieces together 2 people are best.

Setting up can be done intuitively, though that won't result in an optimized performance. The manuals are very helpful, and for a handy way to get the most out of your experience, download the app and connect! I love that I can really set it up to my and my family's needs and use the app to get the best use without having to run up and down the stairs, or to course correct if not home.

I did not get a true test due to trying it when my house wasn't at its most humid, I will get a better idea starting in the spring how it will suit us over a longer period, and I hope to see good results consistently over many seasons. For the period I tested it now, it kept the zone at a consistent humidity without a ton of water accumulation.

Popping the tank in and out was easy, and the filet as well. They both look like they'll be easy to clean.

I did find the noise a bit much, this wouldn't be a unit I would place in a commonly used area if I could avoid it. Even on low, the white noise is like standing next to an air conditionner.

Overall, I am happy and can't wait to see how it does in my basement or the second floor humid zone in the summer!
