Wish I had bought a proper one ages ago as its only 2.5p to run. I previous had those £1 disposable ones with beads in and also a mini electric compressor one which were hopeless. This proper one gathers like 2 litres of water in one night!

I bought this for £5 in Robert Dyas.
Cool any good? How much water is it gathering and did you have problems with condensation on your windows? I saw them inshore too and you can by replacement discs.
My electric Meaco one is pretty good, it comes on and off throughout the day to maintain the humidity which can be programmed.
Condensation is fairly normal and not really possible to eliminate because it will always be colder outside. If it's droplets and dripping with moisture then yeah that creates problems.
You probably made the right choice. My place came with a very good dimplex one. Hydrostat will only turn it on when it exceeds 50% humidity, which saves power.
The others are wasteful. If you have the budget for a proper one and damp is a potential serious issue then they are good.
They also have the advantage of cooling the air in summer as they basically work kind of like a refrigerator. But don't run it too much, it's bad for your lungs to have no moisture in the air.
I only have to empty mine out every couple of days, depending on the weather. I dislike anything you buy over and over again and dispose of each time.
