High humidity at home is a problem many apartment and house owners face around the world. Condensation on windows, damp walls, unpleasant odors, and mold are all consequences of excessive humidity that not only reduce living comfort but can also pose a serious threat to residents' health and the integrity of the building. This issue is especially acute in humid climates, rooms with poor ventilation, new buildings, and basements.
When it comes to effectively tackling humidity, electric dehumidifiers far outperform traditional moisture absorbers. While a typical moisture absorber can collect only about 1 liter of water per month (often insufficient for residential spaces), a modern electric dehumidifier removes 16 to 25 liters of moisture per day. That’s the difference between a cosmetic fix and a real solution.
Mycond has developed a line of high-efficiency dehumidifiers that can meet the needs of any space. In this review, we cover three models, each the optimal solution for its specific task:
- Yugo Smart 16 – a compact and quiet dehumidifier for small rooms up to 35 m²
- Roomer Smart 25 – a powerful dehumidifier with a large tank for spacious areas up to 50 m²
- Roomer HEPA 25 – a dehumidifier with a HEPA filter for allergy sufferers and families who care about air quality
Each of these models has unique advantages, and in this article we’ll explain how to properly choose a dehumidifier for your specific case to solve the problem of excessive humidity at home once and for all.
Yugo Smart 16 for rooms up to 35 square meters
The Yugo Smart 16 dehumidifier is a compact yet powerful solution for small rooms where not only efficiency matters, but also low noise and energy efficiency.
Yugo Smart 16 specifications
The Yugo Smart 16 can remove up to 16 liters of moisture per day at 30°C and 80% relative humidity. To put that into perspective: it’s equivalent to 16 large bottles of water the unit literally "pulls" from the air. Power consumption is just 270 W, comparable to three standard incandescent bulbs.
The noise level deserves special attention—only up to 38 dBA, comparable to a soft whisper. This makes the Yugo Smart 16 ideal for bedrooms and children’s rooms where quiet is essential for rest. The water collection tank holds 2 liters, and the air exchange rate is 150 cubic meters per hour, ensuring effective dehumidification throughout the room.
The Yugo Smart 16 uses eco-friendly refrigerant R290 (65 grams), has compact dimensions of 280×201×505 mm and weighs 12 kg, making it easy to move between rooms when needed. Operating temperature range: 5 to 35°C, covering all typical conditions in residential spaces.
Smart features and extras
The Yugo Smart 16 isn’t just a dehumidifier—it’s a smart device with WiFi control, letting you manage it via smartphone from anywhere. You can switch it on before you get home or set a schedule for maximum convenience.
The built-in air ionization function provides additional purification by saturating the air with negative ions that attach to positively charged dust and allergen particles, making them heavier so they settle instead of entering your airways.
The carbon filter effectively removes unpleasant odors, smoke, and volatile organic compounds, creating a more pleasant indoor atmosphere.
Who the Yugo Smart 16 is ideal for
This dehumidifier is the perfect solution for:
- Studio apartments up to 35 m²
- One-bedroom and compact two-bedroom apartments
- Bedrooms where quiet is critical
- Spaces where Smart control via app matters
- Situations where energy efficiency is a priority
The Yugo Smart 16 is an ideal choice for compact spaces where quiet operation and energy efficiency are important while effectively keeping humidity under control.
Roomer Smart 25 for rooms up to 50 square meters
For larger apartments and private homes, you need a more powerful solution—and that’s where the Roomer Smart 25 comes in, capable of effectively combating humidity in spacious rooms.
Roomer Smart 25 specifications
The main advantage of this model is its high performance—up to 25 liters of moisture per day, which is 56% more than the Yugo Smart 16. At the same time, power consumption is only 380 W, indicating high energy efficiency.
The noise level up to 45 dBA is comparable to a quiet conversation—slightly louder than the Yugo Smart 16, yet comfortable for most living spaces. The tank volume deserves special attention—6.5 liters, the largest in the entire Mycond lineup. This means you’ll need to empty the tank only 3–4 times a day even at maximum performance.
The Roomer Smart 25 has an air exchange rate of 180 cubic meters per hour, ensuring effective circulation and dehumidification even in large rooms. It uses eco-friendly refrigerant R290 (75 grams) and measures 340×240×575 mm, weighing 14.5 kg.
Advantages of a large tank
A 6.5-liter tank is not just a spec—it’s real convenience in everyday use. At 25 liters per day, a standard 2–4 liter tank would need emptying up to 10 times a day, which is impractical. The Roomer Smart 25’s large tank reduces that to 3–4 times, saving your time and effort.
In addition, the model features a tank full indicator and automatic shutoff when the maximum water level is reached, ensuring safe operation even when you can’t constantly monitor the water level.
Who the Roomer Smart 25 is ideal for
The Roomer Smart 25 is indispensable for:
- Large apartments and private homes up to 50 m²
- Office spaces with high humidity
- Laundry rooms where clothes are dried

- Families who don’t want to empty the tank often
The Roomer Smart 25 is the ideal solution for large spaces that require maximum performance and ease of use without frequent tank emptying.
Roomer HEPA 25 for allergy sufferers and rooms up to 50 square meters
For families who care about health and air quality, Mycond offers a special model—the Roomer HEPA 25, which combines high-efficiency dehumidification with premium air purification.
Roomer HEPA 25 specifications
By its core parameters, the Roomer HEPA 25 is similar to the previous model: 25 liters per day performance, 370 W power consumption (slightly more economical than the Smart version), up to 45 dBA noise level, and 180 cubic meters per hour air exchange.
The tank volume is 4 liters, smaller than the Roomer Smart 25, but this is offset by the presence of a HEPA filter—the key feature of this model. Device dimensions: 350×235×578 mm; weight: 14.5 kg; refrigerant: R290 (70 grams).
HEPA filtration features and comparison with Roomer Smart 25
A HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter is a special type of filter that captures 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. For comparison: a human hair is about 70 microns thick, and most bacteria are 0.3–5 microns in size. This means a HEPA filter effectively captures:
- Plant pollen that triggers seasonal allergies
- Mold spores that can provoke asthma and other respiratory issues
- Dust mites and their waste, the most common home allergen
- Pet dander and hair
- Many types of bacteria and viruses
Unlike the Roomer Smart 25, the HEPA model does not have a carbon filter to eliminate odors, but it offers significantly more effective air purification from allergens and microparticles. It’s a classic example of specialization: one model focuses on ease of use (large tank) and odor removal, the other on maximum air purification for health.
Who the Roomer HEPA 25 is ideal for
This model is the best choice for:
- People with allergies and asthma
- Families with small children where air quality is critical
- Pet owners, especially if someone in the household is allergic to fur/dander
- Rooms after mold remediation where it’s important to remove residual spores
- Those who want not only to dehumidify but also to purify the air
The Roomer HEPA 25 is the ideal solution for those who care about family health and need not only dehumidification but also air purification from allergens and harmful microparticles.
Dehumidifier energy consumption
One of the most common questions about dehumidifiers is how much electricity they use. Let’s dispel the myth of excessive energy consumption.
Comparative energy consumption table
| Model | Power (W) | Equivalent household appliances |
|---|---|---|
| Yugo Smart 16 | 270 | 3 incandescent bulbs |
| Roomer Smart 25 | 380 | 4 incandescent bulbs |
| Roomer HEPA 25 | 370 | 4 incandescent bulbs |
Cyclical operation and real consumption
It’s important to understand that a dehumidifier does not run at full power all the time. Like a refrigerator, it operates in cycles of 30–60 minutes, turning on and off depending on the room’s humidity level. On average, a dehumidifier actually runs about 40–60% of the time, which significantly reduces real energy consumption.
Estimated monthly consumption
With 12 hours of active operation per day (which corresponds to roughly 6–7 hours of actual compressor runtime), you can estimate monthly consumption:
- Yugo Smart 16: 270 W × 6 hours × 30 days = 48.6 kWh per month (taking cyclic operation into account, approximately 97 kWh)
- Roomer Smart 25: 380 W × 6 hours × 30 days = 68.4 kWh per month (taking cyclic operation into account, approximately 137 kWh)
- Roomer HEPA 25: 370 W × 6 hours × 30 days = 66.6 kWh per month (taking cyclic operation into account, approximately 133 kWh)
For comparison with other household appliances:
- Refrigerator: 100–150 kWh per month
- Air conditioner (summer): 200–300 kWh per month
- Washing machine: 20–30 kWh per month (for 10–15 wash cycles)
As you can see, a dehumidifier consumes about as much electricity as a regular refrigerator and significantly less than an air conditioner. At the same time, the cost of electricity for a dehumidifier is much lower than potential repair costs due to mold and moisture damage—not to mention the cost of treating health problems that can arise from high humidity.
Ways to fight humidity: what really works
Before choosing a method to combat humidity, it’s important to understand what options exist and how effective they are.
Three main approaches to combating humidity
1. Ventilation
Ventilation is the simplest and free way to remove moisture from a room. However, it has serious limitations:
- Effective only in winter when outside air is colder and drier than indoor air
- In summer and autumn, outside air is often more humid, and ventilation can make the problem worse
- Leads to heat loss in cold seasons and higher heating costs
- Does not work in rainy weather
2. Moisture absorbers
Moisture absorbers (absorption dehumidifiers) are passive devices that use calcium chloride or silica gel granules to absorb moisture from the air:
- Low-cost initial option
- No electricity consumption
- Very low performance—about 1 liter per month
- Suitable only for closets, pantries, and other small enclosed spaces
- Require regular replacement or regeneration
3. Electric dehumidifiers
Electric (condensation) dehumidifiers are the most effective way to deal with excess humidity:
- High performance—16 to 25 liters per day
- Effective year-round regardless of outdoor conditions
- Allow precise control of humidity levels
- Offer additional air purification and ionization functions
- Consume electricity, but are economically justified given their effectiveness
Comparative table of humidity control methods
| Method | How much water it removes | Best suited for |
|---|---|---|
| Ventilation | Depends on conditions, unpredictable | Short-term humidity reduction in winter |
| Moisture absorbers | About 1 liter per month | Closets, pantries, small enclosed spaces |
| Electric dehumidifiers | 16–25 liters per day | Living spaces, apartments, houses, offices |
For effectively combating humidity in living spaces, an electric dehumidifier is the ideal solution, and Mycond’s range offers models for any area and need. They not only remove moisture efficiently but also purify the air, improving the overall indoor climate.
