After purchasing an air dehumidifier, whether it's a 50-liter-per-day model suitable for a small study, or a 1000-liter-per-day "dehumidification 

behemoth" that can serve an entire villa or a large apartment, do you sometimes feel that the dehumidification effect is not satisfactory? 

In fact, the efficiency of an air dehumidifier not only depends on its own performance, but also the placement is crucial. Placing it in the right 

location can double the effect; placing it in the wrong location may only double the effort with half the result. 

Today, let's talk about the important principles for placing dehumidifiers, so that your investment can yield the greatest return! 

Core principle: Air circulation is key

Before discussing the specific location, it is essential to remember the core principle of how dehumidifiers work: they need to draw in the 

humid air in the space, remove the moisture through the condensation system, and then discharge the dry air. Therefore, ensuring that 

the surrounding air around the intake and exhaust ports is unobstructed is the primary principle.

Remember the "two prohibitions":

• Prohibition of placing against the wall: Do not place the dehumidifier close to the wall or large furniture, especially do not block the

  intake port. It is recommended to be at least 30-50 centimeters away from the wall to ensure it has enough "breathing" space.

• Prohibition of blocking the exhaust port: Do not place any obstructions or dry clothes (unless it is a model with a drying function

  and operated according to the instructions) in front of the exhaust port， to avoid affecting the circulation of the dry air. 

Recommended placement: The golden spot for doubling the effect

1. The center area of the entire house (for medium to large-sized houses or models with high dehumidification capacity)

If you are using a model with a high dehumidification capacity (such as one with a daily dehumidification of 300 liters or more), and you 

want to balance the humidity of the entire living room or open space, the best position is the center of the room or the area with the best 

air circulation. Placing the dehumidifier here will allow the dry air to spread more evenly throughout the area, achieving overall dehumidification 

and avoiding damp corners.

2. Near the source of moisture

Precise attack, maximum efficiency. There are usually several obvious "heavy-hit areas" of moisture in the home:

At the bathroom entrance: After taking a bath, the bathroom has extremely high humidity. Placing the dehumidifier at the entrance 

(ensuring a dry and safe floor) can quickly remove the pervasive moisture and prevent it from spreading to other rooms.

In the kitchen corner: Cooking and washing produce a large amount of steam. Placing the dehumidifier in a safe corner away from the stove 

can effectively reduce kitchen humidity and inhibit mold growth.

In the laundry/drying area: If your home has a separate laundry room or a fixed indoor drying area, this is definitely the "main battlefield" for 

the dehumidifier. It can accelerate the drying of clothes and solve the high humidity problem caused by indoor drying.

3. Dead corners with poor air circulation

Some corners, such as the closet, storage room, behind bookshelves, and room corners, are often blind spots with poor air circulation, where 

moisture is most likely to accumulate and produce a musty smell. Running the dehumidifier in these areas periodically for a period of time 

(even for models with low dehumidification capacity are applicable) can effectively protect your clothes, books, and valuable items from 

moisture damage.

4. Spaces that require special care

Basement/underground space: This is the place that most needs strong dehumidification. For large basements, a professional model with a 

daily dehumidification of up to 500 liters or even 1000 liters may be required. When placing it, the principle of centering and ventilation should 

be followed, and ensure that the drainage pipe can smoothly guide the continuous discharge of a large amount of water to the sewer or drainage outlet.

Bedroom: Turn on the dehumidifier 1-2 hours before bedtime and place it in a spacious area away from the bed. This can create a dry and comfortable 

sleeping environment. However, if you need to run it during sleep, choose the silent mode and ensure good ventilation to avoid overly dry conditions.

Based on the dehumidification capacity selection strategy

• 50 liters - 150 liters (low dehumidification capacity): Suitable for individual rooms (such as bedrooms, study rooms). Adopt the "guerrilla tactic",

  moving to the room that needs dehumidification. This precisely solves the local dampness problem.

• 150 liters - 300 liters (medium dehumidification capacity): Suitable for living rooms or medium-sized whole-house dehumidification. It can be

  placed in the center of the living room and consider opening the doors of other rooms to utilize air convection to achieve dehumidification in multiple rooms.

• 300 liters - 1000 liters (high dehumidification capacity): Suitable for large apartments, villas or basements. These models have high power and

  are not easy to move. Fixed placement points should be planned (such as stairwell entrances, corridor centers or damp core areas), and it is best

  to connect continuous drainage pipes to achieve "set and forget" fully automatic dehumidification. 

Safety Warning

Always use the dehumidifier on a flat and solid surface.

Do not use it in damp and water-splash-prone areas (such as bathroom wet zones, kitchen sink edges) to avoid electric shock.

Clean the filter regularly to keep the machine in optimal working condition. 

In conclusion, an air dehumidifier cannot fully exert its power just by being placed randomly. Spend a few minutes to select an "optimal placement 

point" for it based on the layout of your home, the level of humidity, and the dehumidifier's capacity. You will truly experience what it means to 

"double the effect" and enjoy a healthy and dry, comfortable home life throughout the four seasons!
