The Pohl+Schmitt Mini Dehumidifier, Model No.: MD500, is a compact and quiet appliance designed to remove excess moisture from small rooms and poorly ventilated areas. Utilizing Peltier technology (no compressor), it is lightweight and ideal for spaces such as wardrobes, cabinets, bathrooms, or storage rooms that are susceptible to damp odors and fungus.

Function Description:

The primary function of this mini dehumidifier is to extract moisture from the air, thereby reducing humidity levels. It operates by drawing in moist air, cooling it to condense the water vapor, and then expelling dry air. The collected water is stored in a removable water tank. The unit features an ON/OFF button, an "On" indicator light (green), and a "Full" indicator light. When the water tank is full, the unit automatically stops operating, and the "Full" indicator light illuminates, signaling that the tank needs to be emptied. A light breeze will be felt from the Dry Air Outlet when the dehumidifier is operating.
