"Moisture Master"
21 May 2019, Amanda B.
Product use: 6 months or more
Pros:
We had a moisture master installed several years ago and it immediately eliminated any condensation.
Cons:
I have to say that it blows very cold air into the house during the winter and obviously hot air in the summer. For that reason I would have to advise caution on any product that does this and maybe install a heating system with dehumidifier instead. I am disappointed how cold the air is. Yes, it's great for those crying windows but that's it!
Recommend it?
Maybe, it depends on what you're after.
"Moisturemaster"
04 Jul 2015, Rene S.
Product use: 6 months or more
Pros:
We used to have a big problem with condensation during the winter. Since having the Moisturemaster installed, our windows remain completely dry, even on the coldest days. Any condensation caused by steam generated by cooking disappears within 15 minutes after cooking ceases.
The unit was about $1500 less than two widely-advertised brand systems, and did come with less features that these more expensive systems have, but it is nonetheless very effctive.
Cons:
The fan unit can be a little noisy (relatively strong background hum) if placed over rooms in the house. It would be better placed over unoccupied space, e.g. a garage.
Recommend it?
Yes, I recommend this product.
