I recently installed the EcorPro50 in my 1200 sq ft machine shop to mitigate a corrosion issue. Install was trivial and it is working great. My unit came painted white when all photos and specs showed the unit in unpainted stainless. I also am not too excited with the plastic mounting feet but if they break, I have the machine shop...I installed this ECOR PRO 50 in the attic of my home Office (900 ft). I liked the concept of a desiccant dehumidifier and the ease of installation. Being Just north of Houston we fight the humidity just about year round. I called their California Office to make sure it would work in Houston Texas and they said it would work. And yes indeed, It works great! In my office this morning it showed 58% humidity, so I turned it on and it brought the humidity down 8 degrees in no time.No more emptying bucks from those portable dehumidifiers I used to buy!Pros: Its quiet. Moves a lot of air. Easier to install than conventional whole house unitsWe are very happy! Hey ECOR... can you make one that will dehumidifier a 2800 ft house??I plumbed this dry fan into the scupper drain system in a new to us 1986 36 foot sailboat that had been sitting with leaky ports for two years. Needless to say it was a moldy damp mess inside. I have been running the dry fan 24/7 for a month now and it has made a big difference, along with some serious cleaning. The moist air is vented thru the plumbing and the dry air is returned. It continues drying at very low temperatures.It does exactly what it says it will do. If these fans were more affordable I would buy others for basements and other boats.I winterized my boat last week. I let the dehumidifier run for about a day. Lowered the relative humidity by at least 10%. It should really help over the winterUsing it to drop humidity in master bath/bedroom. It works, no more condensation on our windows.Am absolutely impressed with the product. Having returned two other dehumidifiers for coil freeze, this was the perfect solution.I also called to ask for details about a special server room installation and was provided with immediate help by the entire team.Good purchase.A desiccant dryer like this is ideal for low temperature and/or very low humidity conditions. Normal temperatures and humidity or high humidity and temperatures are probably better served by traditional compressor based dehumidifiers. Energy consumption is fairly similar between the units as the desiccant unit runs a heater and the traditional unit runs a compressor. The desiccant unit requires a vent to the outdoors where it sends about 15% of the heated airflow (with the moisture) thereby requiring new air of an equal amount to be drawn into the space, typically from outdoors while a compressor unit requires a water drain or pump arrangement and is better suited for a more airtight location. I have an insulated and sealed crawl space and installed a commercial compressor based dehumidifier as it stays above 60F year round and the humidity around 50% while next door in an unsealed wet and cold crawl space (northern Michigan) this desiccant unit is being installed due to the cold temperatures it is likely to see. I also use a compressor based free standing unit in my work shop to keep my tools from rusting due to humidity in summer, the cold temperatures it sees in winter are not an issue because low temperatures bring lower humidity and most folks actually want to add humidity when it is cold.
