This solidly constructed, stylish-looking dehumidifier features a powerful reciprocating compressor and castor wheels, which make it easy to move from room to room. Drying out musty bedrooms, bathrooms, or kitchens doesn't take long with the dehumidifier's ability to extract up to 30 pints of moisture out of the air per day. An indicator warns when its 6-1/2-liter-capacity water tank is full, while automatic overflow protection shuts the device down until the water bucket is emptied. For efficiency, its humidistat sensor automatically maintains desired humidity levels, and for added convenience, its upward dry-air outlet allows for drying clothes. An easy-access carbon filter fits neatly in the back. The unit measures 16-1/2 by 12 by 26-3/4 inches. --Catie Unger ... Read more

The 65-watt WindChaser mini dehumidifier takes unpleasant moisture and must out of the air in small spaces like bathrooms, laundry rooms, and storage closets. Specially designed for tight quarters, the unit comes with a diminutive construction and a whisper-quiet compressor-free motor so that you may not even notice it working away. In conditions of 86 degrees F and 80 percent relative humidity, the dehumidifier removes .803 pints per day, storing the collected moisture in an easily removed transparent bottom tank. Even though it's tidily constructed, the tank holds 2.11 pints at a time, so you don't have to empty it every day.

Operation of the dehumidifier is markedly simple--just push the rocker switch to "on" and walk away. The unit automatically turns off when the tank is full and illuminates a "full" signal light. Helpful structural details include an inset carrying handle, protective rubber feet, and an upward dry-air outlet. WindChaser also includes a one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard ... Read more

Works great for me
I was looking around for a little dehumidifier to put in 2 closets where we have a mold problem. We have an older house and the walls are just brick & plaster, so the insulation is poor & the outside walls in the closet get condensation on them & then a nasty black mold grows. We bought 2 of these & they've been running for a few months with no problems. They fit easily in the closet, they're not much bigger than a large shoebox. They're really pretty simple, there's just the little solid state cooler with big heat fins which the water condenses on & a fan to move the air over them. The first week we pulled a couple of pints out of each closet, now that they're mostly dry it's down to maybe a cup or so a week. The fans do make a little noise, so I wouldn't want them right in the room with me, but with the door shut I can barely hear it. The power supply is a big brick which stays pretty warm, so the closet is noticeably warmer than the room. I'm happy, and assuming they keep going through next winter I imagine our mold problem will be contained.

Broke after a month.
I bough it for my walk in closet and was pretty excited as this Mini Dehumidifier did a good job at first. After a bout 3 weeks it started to make a humming noise and finally gave up. I don't particularly want to deal with Wind Chaser customer service after reading some reviews here but looks like I have to. Stay away from this product.

Died after 6 months
Worked great and I loved it the first 6 months I had it. Then one day it just died and there is no resuscitating it. Cannot find any information about this company on the web to try and use the warranty.

Buyer beware!

Stopped working
Had the unit in my 35 ft boat for about a year. Worked pretty well until today. Now broken. Will prob move up to one of the large units. Wish there was something between this unit's capacity .8 and the home units 25.

DOES THE JOB IN A TOUGH LOCATION!
From our seaside retirement home: Our pc and washer/drier share a small space. To alleviate a very real humidity problem and to prolong the life of our machines, during a recent trip to the U.S., I ordered and brought back one of these little gems. It does an excellent job. Before you blow your stack should it fail you (The first time it happened to us, I was ready to throw it out the window), switch outlets. Why/how this works? I don't know, but on two occasions (Power failures are frequent occurances here), we discovered this simple solution. ... Read more

The Windchaser Closet Fresh ionic air purifier operates cordlessly in a closet or laundry room to eliminate odors, prevent mold, and freshen up fabrics. Operating on six C batteries or the included 12-volt AC adapter, the unit emits ozone-rich air that neutralizes the smells of smoke, perspiration, or mold. Clothing is left fresh and free of odors without the replacement scents or chemicals of artificial perfumes and sprays. In the meanwhile, two statically charged metal rods inside the unit attract tiny particulates like pollen and dust.

Designed for hanging or free-standing operation, the Closet Fresh has two power levels and a "burst" option. When power is on, it runs for an initial hour then turns on once an hour automatically. Helpfully low-maintenance, the purifier requires no replacement filters--just occasional cleaning of the metal rods. When the batteries are running low, it emits a buzzing sound. Not counting the hanging hook, the unit measures 5-3/4 by 2-1/2 by 7-3/4 inches. It carries a 90-day warranty, and batteries are not included.--Emily Bedard ... Read more

A handy appliance for all seasons, this WindChaser heater warms a chilly room in winter and cools it down on hot summer nights. The unit also includes optional humidification and oscillates to distribute warm air or improve room circulation. Operated with soft-touch buttons or the handy remote control and regulated by an electronic thermostat, the heater blows cool, warm, or hot air at either 1100 or 1500 watts. The 15-hour timer is convenient, enabling you to shut off the heater after you go to sleep or to work. All the controls are shielded by a transparent hatch to prevent you or a curious child from accidentally turning it on. Adjustable air vents let you control vertical air flow, and an air filter helps freshen up the atmosphere of your home.

WindChaser is especially thorough with safety devices on this model, programming in automatic shut-off after 20 hours, automatic humidifier shut-off after 6 hours, and overheat thermal cutoff protection. There's also a safety tip-over switch that cuts power should the heater get bumped or knocked over. The heater comes with a one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard ... Read more

A Great Product at Twice the Price!
I know, because last year I bought the identical fan (excuse me, "air circulator") at [a store] for twice what I'm ordering this second one!

I keep this fan in my bedroom window during the summer to keep the air circulating and to pull in the cooler evening air. You can position the rotating grille to direct the air flow as desired, or just let it oscillate. The remote control is wonderful--if I awaken in the middle of the night and find that I'm too cool (or not cool enough) I can make the necessary adjustments without having to get out of bed and trip over one of the cats.

Although this isn't as quiet as a Vornado (which I also have), I can go to sleep with it set on the low or medium setting.

I'm buying this fan to place in my west-facing living room window to help cool off in the evenings. ... Read more

Doing double duty, this heater warms up a chilly basement orenclosed porch and then switches to fan-only mode to cool off a hotbedroom. Blowing fan-forced air, the upright heater makes a noticeabledifference in the air temperature within 30 seconds but is extremelyquiet in its delivery. In addition, its space-saving dimensions (13inches tall by 4-1/2 inches wide) make the heater barely detectable inthe corner of a room.

The heating portion of the unit has two settings--750 or 1,500watts--and an adjustable thermostat to maintain the preferred roomtemperature. Both controls are shielded by a pull-out plastic cover toprevent you from accidentally turning the heater on. Other safetyfeatures include a power light that reminds you when the unit is on anda caution light that indicates overheating, in which case the heaterautomatically shuts off. Other conveniences are an ergonomic recessedslot in the back for carrying the fan heater and a hidden storage areaunderneath the heater for the cord.

You get what you pay for - this is not so bad...
Despite the reivews of others, I was looking for a cheap way to heat my office, and this has done the trick so far. Yes, this is a cheap - cheap prodcut; all palstic parts, could easily break if you don't pay attention. It does the job. It can heat my 12'x12' office from 57 degrees to 73 degrees in about 1/2 hour. This does not put out high heat - but it does put out good consistant heat. You are getting what you pay for here. For under $25.00 people should expect so much from a product like this. Stay warm!

Not so hot
Doesn't put out much heat. I have to sit right on top of it. And my dial broke immediately, too. It pushes right beyond the highest setting, in which case I get no heat at all.

The machine NEVER turned on.
The machine was advertised as new, but I obviously got used and not working. The fan never blew. The only thing that worked was the Caution light. I'm sending it back and hoping to get a guaranteed working product in return for my money.

Not so hot
Doesn't put out much warmth. I have to have it about 6 inches from my ankles. Never overheats me, but occasionally it overheats itself. The dial immediatly broke so that it can be accidentally turned beyond the last setting, in which case the heater doesn't turn on at all. I'm now looking for a replacement. ... Read more

Space-efficient and super sleek, the WindChaser Windcolumn pedestal fan cools and refreshes a room without the bulk of a box or traditional stand fan. WindChaser uses a jumbo squirrel cage body for powerful airflow, along with versatile settings for customizing operation to need and occasion. In addition to its three speeds, the fan includes a natural setting that cycles through power levels to create the effect of a breeze and a sleep setting that gradually winds power down and shuts off the motor. Oscillation is also optional, and a 7-1/2-hour on/off timer is programmable in 30-minute intervals. A beyond-and-above feature, the fan's ion generator helps keep the air clean of airborne irritants. Stored under a clever top hatch, the control panel is straightforward and easy to use, displaying settings clearly on a LED monitor. A remote control adds extra convenience for all settings. Housed in durable titanium-colored plastic with a silvery grill, the fan stands 43 inches high. Some assembly is required. --Emily Bedard ... Read more

This WindChaser fan takes breezy cool-down to a new level byadding water to the mix.

Great Concept, Poor Execution
I looked at this and thought "What a great idea!". I ordered it, got it, put it together, turned it on, and realized that what I had was a very wet fan or a very bad lawn sprinkler. Bottom line - your municipal water pressure will not work to atomize the water enough so it is mostly evaporated by the time it hits you. You will get soaked if you stand too close, and the cooling is ineffective if you stand too far away. I can see you liking this if you want to cool the kids down while they play outside (and don't care about them getting wet) or if you are working on outdoor projects(and don't care about you getting wet). But for an evening of sitting around the patio with friends - it just isn't effective, and is just annoying.

A must for hot dry climates!
This is a terrific product! Living in the Sacramento area, we have many 90 degree days in the summer. With this fan and sitting in the shade you can stay outside forever. The fan is a durable plastic and very sturdy so I don't worry about it when the winds start blowing. It has three speeds and you can operate it as a regular fan or as a mister or both. It swivels or you can make it stationary. My fan came quickly and was very easy to assemble. It is also very easy to unattach the garden hose if you need it for watering the plants, too. I wish I would have bought this product years ago - I would have spent many more days outside!

Good buy
I bought this for my dog kennel area. It works great and keeps their area cooler. I feel more comfortable leaving them alone on the hot days because I know the fan is cooling them off.

Absolutely Wonderful
I'm outside a lot and living in Phoenix, AZ I would never make it without this fan. I have told all my friends about the fan and now they want it too.

Long ship time not worth the wait
After waiting for over a month to receive the fan, found it had been repackaged and was missing parts (most likely the reason it was returned). Package came unsealed, obviously it had been previously opened and repackaged. Had to rig a screw to hold the fan to the base. Once connected, works fine, though drips constantly, not sure why yet. ... Read more

With its broad grille, sweeping arc, and remote control operation, this 16-inch mountable fan from WindChaser keeps rooms cool and well circulated without taking up floor space. Designed for mounting to the wall or ceiling, the fan is controlled by a microprocessor that creates a steady flow of air or ebbs and flows with the feel of a natural breeze.

For air-quality control year round, this three-in-one unit provides a warm mist humidifier, a dehumidifier, and an ionic air purifier. The humidifier outputs about 1/2 liter of moisture per hour, while the dehumidifier can remove up to 12 liters of moisture per day. Its ion generator cleans and refreshes the air with the help of the included DEW filter pad that eliminates 99.99-percent of bacteria on its fibers. The three functions can be used independently or all together to clean the air while maintaining the desired humidity level. Its water-tank capacity is only three liters, but the unit automatically protects against overflow and features a convenient indicator light that shows when the tank needs to be emptied or filled. The unit’s powerful reciprocating compressor is designed with an automatic defrost function that turns the compressor off when the coil temperature drops.

Early Results are Fabulous
We've only been using this fan for a few days, but compared to other fans of this size we've had, it's by far the quietest on low and having the flexibility to infinitely vary the speed is a big win (vs. typical too loud/not enough air with no settings in between of most fans)

Designed to purify air continually while casting a gentle light, the Windchaser Plug-N-Fresh ionic air purifier starts working as soon as it’s pluggedinto the wall. Powered up, the unit circulates ozone-rich air to kill off bacteria and help neutralize odors. Meanwhile, a statically charged metal plate inside the purifier collects microscopic contaminants like dust and pollen. The purifier is very quiet while working and uses only three watts of power. Its LED bulb is gentle and long-lasting--both helpful features because switching it off is not an option. Attractively low-maintenance, the purifier does not require replacement filters. Simply remove the charged metal plate occasionally, clean it off, and reuse it. A good size for bathrooms, pet areas, and pantries, the Plug-N-Fresh measures 2-1/2 by 3 by 8-1/2 inches, plug not included.

Not As Advertised
The Windchaser fan captioned above is for crap!

It is NOT Industrial!

It does not meet industrial standards to be called "Industrial"!

The item was to have aluminum blades. Mine arrived with plastic!

What kind of false advertising are you guys trying to pull?

Powerful But Loud
This seems like a quality fan. It moves a great deal of air, but is quite loud. If noise is an issue, I would look for a different fan. As stated in the earlier review, the blades are plastic not aluminum.

It was easy to assemble, and the instructions are well written.
