Ionmax ION 632 Desiccant Dehumidifier 10L

I had a failure with the first one I bought which was replaced at no charge to me. I gave it to my daughter and bought a second one. It costs me about 30 cents per hour to run. Although it removes moisture from the air, I thought it would lower the humidity more than it seems to some times. (Posted on 17/06/2017)

Bought because of dripping windows on cold nights, the product reduces the damp but does not completely solve the problem. Absorbs a lot of water, air smells fresher, not bothered by fan noise, easy to use. Delivery was super fast! (Posted on 12/06/2017)

Its certainly an eye opener when you see how much water it collects - well worth the money (Posted on 8/06/2017)

Removes so much moisture from my damp home. My husband actually gets less allergic rhinitis since we have had it and sleeps a lot better. And he snores less without a blocked nose... so that also means better sleep for me too. No more damp smell. It collects so much water! I am suprised and impressed by this product! Shipping was very fast too! (Posted on 30/05/2017)

My son has an asthma issue and coughs on cold mornings - the dehumidifier running in his room for just 2 hours has all but stopped his cough, great service from the sleep solutions team too. (Posted on 18/05/2017)

It certainly works well but pushes hot air which made things unpleasant in hot weather. (Posted on 5/04/2017)

Great product.
Does a great job.
Great Delivery. (Posted on 4/04/2017)

Really happy with this dehumidifier - it works really well. It is easy enough to move from room to room. The slight downside is that it acts to slightly heat the room also, which is not ideal when it is already warm - however a benefit in wintery conditions. I would happily recommend this dehumidifier.

A great product delivered quickly by Sleep Solutions. It made an instant difference in our house which was getting very damp after all this rain. It was so nice to get into a dry crisp bed at night! The only downside is it is a bit noisy and you can't exactly select the humidity, but it does the job and I'm happy my home will not become mouldy! (Posted on 3/04/2017)

Life saver for us. Great unit which does everything it's advertised to do. Has changed our house, we didn't realise quite how damp the house was until we started using it. (Posted on 1/04/2017)

Works well, looks good (Posted on 29/03/2017)

II'm still amazed by the amount of water it sucks out of the air in my home! It was quite damp particularly in the back 2 rooms, and now feels dry, and breathing is much easier. I move it around the house mot days to new locations, and it works really well. So good I've bought another one for my office! (Posted on 28/03/2017)

Overall very happy with my purchase - Machine works well and does a good job of removing condensation and therefore, the resulting mould. The only thing I can fault is that it's a lot noisier than I thought it would be so I tend not to run it overnight as I initially intended. I was led to believe that the desiccant dehumidifiers were quieter. (Posted on 27/09/2016)

We are amazed by the change in our home. It is more comfortable and healthier by far. Its a remarkable difference after 10 years of excessive moisture. (Posted on 9/08/2016)

This unit has been a god send. I've been suffering extreme condensation on my floor to ceiling windows for the past 5 years, and dampness in the air. It's been cold and damp, however since getting this unit, I've been running the unit on high. I run this 24hrs a day for the past 3days and I've had to empty the water container 3 times a day. Since then, I've not had any issues with condensation. Highly recommend this! (Posted on 9/08/2016)

The humidity was getting up to 85% in the spare room allways cold and damp! Put the dehumidifer in and turned it on to the max setting unpluged the oil heater (1500watts) within 24 hours the humidity was down to 45% and the air in the house is so much better and better to breathe!!! Has to be healthier than the damp!! (Posted on 7/08/2016)

Extremely happy with our purchase. Our house is a small 3 bedroom but the system has certainly helped eliminate overnight condensation build up on our windows. As it states in the brochure, it is best if indoor doors are kept open. If we shut doors, then it is still possible condensation on the windows will happen, but it is much less than what we had been experiencing. We having been running it 24/7 since purchasing it and have seen a huge improvement in the temperature in our home, which has resulted in our home feeling warmer in these colder months. The fan is a little noisy but no worse than a fan or air conditioner running in summer. We usually run it from the middle room of the home overnight and run it in the day from the bedrooms, switching it between bedrooms. The online purchase from sleep solutions was easy and the delivery arrived quickly. I recommend this system (Posted on 23/07/2016)

I live in Hobart and in winter the windows (4 mm double glazed) in my 3 bedrooms ALL suffer from bad condensation overnight (mostly from breathing I suspect).

I purchased this dehumidifier to resolve this problem but it has only managed to reduce it instead.

The main problems with this unit are:
1) It is too noisy to leave running over night.
2) You can NOT set a desired humidity level other than the presets.
3) Worst of ALL is that the noisy fan never switches off even if the desired preset humidity level is reached. I was disappointed to learn about this when I phoned support asking why it was still running after 10 hours but not extracting water. I was told that this was by design and that it was sampling the air. I would have preferred the sampling ran for 1 min once every 15 mins or so instead.

What I wanted is a unit that could be left on overnight but only dehumidifying (with fan noise) when needed to reach the desired level. In my case, I suspect 70% might have been enough to stop the condensation.

By the way, I have previously tested a powerful Delonghi (compressor type) unit that did have the features I wanted but it did not work well in the cold Hobart temperatures. While the Ionmax is missing some features I need I can confirm it does indeed work really well in these low temperatures.

Also, having said all of the above it is great at extracting water from the air and when running consistently manages to get about 350+ mls an hour (8.4+ ltrs per day).

In summary, it is a great unit if you want to run it during the day and don't mind the fan always running while switched on. However, if you need it to run overnight near bedrooms than think long and hard before purchasing. (Posted on 4/07/2016)

This dehumidifier exceeded my expectations. It's efficient and does exactly what it states will do. I'd recommend it to anyone with condensation issues. (Posted on 17/06/2016)

My home was flood effected in the April 2015 superstorm and have been having ongoing problems with moisture that the insurance company won't rectify. My daughter has been unwell ever since the cooler weather set in - her room was damp & musty smelling, and the new carpets were becoming damp. I purchased the Ionmax 632 from Sleep Solutions and it was delivered for free in only a couple of days. The Ionmax 632 has been running constantly since I received it, and on average it was pulling about 7L of water out of the room each day. The amount of water has decreased each day, the carpets are dry and the room smells so much better. I moved the Ionmax to another room thinking that my daughter's room should be ok - she woke up the next morning with a sore throat and runny nose again, but this resolved as soon as the Ionmax was put back into service in her room. I intend to buy at least another 1-2 machines to have running in the other bedrooms. Best thing I've ever bought. (Posted on 15/06/2016)

I didn't realise how much damp we had until I ran the dehumidifier. The whole house feels better and smells better. Condensation is no longer a problem on windows. Even our bed/mattress feels better. Highly recommend (Posted on 30/05/2016)

After reading all the great reviews I took a punt and purchased the Ionmax. So glad I did and wish I had known about this product years ago as would have saved me many hours of cleaning mould off my walls and windows. I run the Ionmax mostly during the day as the fan is a little too strong to run in bedroom locations at night. That said you would get used to it if you had to. Running it in one of our south facing living areas which is approx 60sqm with 12m of floor to ceiling windows has been the biggest eye opener. It actually warms the room to the point we no longer have to have heat this area. (Posted on 14/05/2016)

The ION 632 is a great product, I'm extremely happy with its efficiency.
Condensation on windows is no longer a problem in my small 3 bedroom rental which had damp problems from previous water leaks.
I would definitely recommend a desiccant dehumidifier over a refrigerant type especially for winter use as it doesn't chill the air as there is a heater in the dehumidifier to dry out the desiccant. (Posted on 12/05/2016)

Even with the ceiling extractor fan on, the walls in my bathroom would be wet for hours after a shower. 10 mins with this machine and the walls were bone dry. My house smells fresh and clean and I don't start sweating as soon as I get out of the shower anymore! (Posted on 7/05/2016)

This does an amazing job. I have drier windows & walls, and the laundry function is wonderful. I love how it blows out warm air too, just enough to take the chill out of the air of a morning. The only criticism I have is the noise. The fan is far too loud to have running all the time - but worth it for a drier and healthier home. (Posted on 2/05/2016)

Good (Posted on 6/10/2015)

We bought this a year ago already.We placed it in the hallway between my bedroom and bathroom and it works well. We had drier windows and walls, no molds forming, musty smell have lessened since we used this esp if its winter when the whole house is damp. Noise is tolerable just like a computer fan. (Posted on 24/09/2015)

I used this almost everyday esp during winter and am finding it useful too as heater at night and clothes dryer :) when we have to use the clothes asap and drying of clothes is really hard during cold months. We got drier rooms and windows too by using this ION632, seems to justify being the best for 3 consecutive yrs!
Their customer service is awesome too, i called once cause i was asking about the zeolite disc and got a satisfying answer :) Can recommend this to my friends and relatives.! (Posted on 23/09/2015)

I wished I knew about this product years ago. It would have saved me money, time and worry. Since I have had the machine my mould and condensation problem has been reduced by 90%. It has been worth every cent I spent on this purchase and I total recommend it to any person having a mould/condensation issue. Its changed our family's life for the better -particular our home quality of life. ..Thank you Sleep Solutions I feel like I have won my battle against mould breakouts and condensation. I now have time to engage in life more pleasant activities than constantly scubbing my home.

i was given excellent advice from Sleep Solutions and purchased 2 Ionmax 632. I have a large 1890 Victorian Terrace that had a very musty smell and upstairs one of the rooms was very wet and damp. Both smells and damp are all gone have recommended them to friends. They are the best and work extremely well in winter. You need to buy this machine. (Posted on 4/08/2015)

This unit exceeded my expectations in terms of speed of water removal.
It filled the tank repeatedly at about 3L a day until 2 connected rooms in a part sub ground bedroom situation were both really dry with all musty smells gone and no mould regrowth despite very heavy and constant rain and high water table.

Loving the IONMAX632. We live in an old house with some damp issues and this pretty much changed things overnight. It's collecting about 3lt of water out of the air every night. Amazing ! (Posted on 1/05/2015)

Excellent product for drying a room with considerable damp and condensation problems. (Posted on 8/10/2014)

Really happy with it, very efficient. Fan noise is ok, just couldn't sleep with it though. Just wish they made a larger version for my very damp back room. (Posted on 24/06/2014)

Spent a lot of money on this model but found it was too noisy in the bedrooms. (Posted on 16/09/2013)

I bought the ION632 to reduce mould and musty smells in my damp house, I suffer from allergies and within one day I noticed the difference, its amazing how much moisture it takes out of the air, very happy customer:)

Bought the ION 632 to solve our winter problem of condensation on windows and walls in the bedrooms. After running the dehumidifier for 4 hours on High in each room the air felt cleaner and drier and the condensation was gone. Now I run the machine for 2 hours on Auto every few days or if we see condensation on the windows. We feel the machine is too noisy to run at night but the hum is ok otherwise. The 3litre tank is more than adequate for our situation and we empty it after every use. It is easy to empty and light enough to move from room to room without any trouble. We are very pleased with the performance of this dehumidifier. (Posted on 23/08/2013)

Large living/dining/kitchen area which was suffering dripping wet windows in cold, damp weather. Within a day, the problem was solved! Desiccant dehumidifiers definitely work well in cold climate applications.
Only criticism is the fan noise, however, I am happy to accept the fan noise any day compared to wet windows! (Posted on 13/08/2013)
