Game-changing. No more moldy clothes. Less allergies – Been so concerned by the rising humidity in Sydney and the overwhelming mold on our belongings when Sydney was slammed by endless rain in 2022. We're prone to allergies. Our family also has asthma. I didn't want to get sick from mold. Cleaning mold from our windows and belongings (belts, shoes, suitcases, walls, windows) is exhausting. Considered… Read more ·  1

a dehumidifier for almost a year while I bought endless moisture absorbers from Bunnings and constantly needed to buy refills/replacements. After hearing someone in our suburb say that they take out 5 liters of water from their bedroom a day I was both mortified and had a striking realisation that our moisture absorbers were doing the bare minimum.

I bit the bullet in January 2023 and invested in two Ionmax ION622s to move around in our small home. It arrived on our doorstep within 4-5 days. It's an absolute workhorse and we too are pouring out liters of water from our home daily.

Our allergies are now minimal, our breathing is clearer and it's easier to move around the house. I've learned a lot from the process too - mold begins to grow in the home when humidity is at 50 - 55% or more. Our humidity in our Sydney home sits usually at 70% - 90%. This has been nothing short of a game-changer. Thank you so much Ionmax team. ❤️

Excellent product – We experience excessive humidity resulting in mildew and a musty smell throughout the house. I started with one ionmax that I moved between rooms which worked well. I was so surprised at the amount of moisture captured that I bought a second and eventually bought 5 that are spread around the house. We have no more mildew or musty smells and… Read more ·  1

continue to be amazed at the moisture removed. These machines have easily cleaned filters and again surprised at the dust collected, and they are so efficient and portable. Not overly noisy - actually a calming white noise for sleeping and easily emptied. They don’t noticeably affect the room temperature and controls are very simple to use

Truely surprised – Amazed with the amount of water being removed from the air. Keeps the bedroom much fresher despite the less than ideal air flow. Went back and bought another for the other son's room. Show details ·  1

If you are after a dehumidifier - this is the one – Great product. Works better than other brands (which I had borrowed from family when there was a shortage of dehumidifiers in Stores). Air quality is a lot better now and dampness has decreased dramatically - noticeable after first use. The programming and control features are really simple to use. Has great area coverage. Those of whom I once… Read more ·  1

borrowed dehumidifiers from in the past are now asking to use mine, so product is definitely one to recommend. Got this for a great price too, so value for money is a definite!

Waste of money – Never worked from day one! Customer service very unhelpful. Complete waste of $250! Sending an email to review a product close to 5 years old very strange the product went in the bin years ago!

Terrible Unit from Andatech – Leaks and makes a Trimble hissing noise only one fan speed and water all over my floor and carpet. Humidity does not change and I have a separate Humidity stat . The ion 622 is inaccurate and causes more humidity then it solves it just blows warm air ? I didn't buy a heater did I..... The whole unit is a fail. I wouldn't buy unless you like to waste money. Show details

Not one of my most well advised purchases – Although I did a fair amount of reading on dehumidifiers, what they can do and how to use them, I found this unit to be not particularly useful. Certainly, the evidence is there to see when you remove the water tank. It does extract water from the air, no doubt about that, but whether it makes the environment any more comfortable is another… Read more

matter.

It has its own hygrometer built in (humidity meter) to show you what's happening but the reading strangely goes up a bit after a period of coming down, as though the surrounding air suddenly became more humid and the unit can't keep up.

I read that using a dehumidifier can be useful in combination with an air conditioner so I experimented with that. I have a separate digital hygrometer/thermometer in the next room. The dehumidifier and air conditioner ran together for a few hours, during which time the humidity hovered around 55%. I decided to switch off the dehumidifier to see what would happen (air conditioner remained on). Within minutes the humidity dropped to 47%. That makes no sense to me, and I'm afraid it seems I bought a device that may be useful for certain applications but not ones I had in mind.

I have had this unit running in my caravan in humid conditions for the last 2 weeks, and it has successfully bought the humidity down from the 80's to around 56-62%. It isn't overly quiet, but it performs as advertised and we are very happy with it. Show details ·  1

Great product – I was living in a small flat in Newcastle dark and damp when I noticed some mould in the wardrobe. I looked for a solution but not a cheap one. I did some research and started looking for dehumidifier with a compressor. I stumbled onto Ionmax ION622 . The amount of water it sucked out of the air was amazing. I set the humidity at 55% you could… Read more ·  1

feel the air was a lot dryer. During some wet weather I had my washing hanging inside I turned my ION622 on closed the room and it dried my clothes and the best part was my electricity bill was still about the same. We know have 4 of these owned by other family members and they all rave about there humidity. A good unit if you want to fix moisture.

Life changing – This is my second Ionmax dehumidifier. I run this every day, the 1.8l tank is always full by 11.00pm. On humid days I empty twice. This, and ceiling fans are all I need in summer to keep me cool. Prior to having this in my home summer was unbearable. Great value, perfect size for a small apartment. Show details ·  1

Good but loud – Great little unit but noisier than I expected. Does a great job in my kitchen clearing the humidity. Easy to operate and emptying the water tank is simple. Doesn't hold as much water as my other one though. Still, this one is compact and fits into smaller spaces which is why I bought it. Show details ·  1

Does the job reliably – We’ve had the unit for just over a year now and it has operated reliably since day one. Only maintenance required is cleaning the air filter which is easy to do. Having to empty the reservoir every day also is a good way of keeping my plants watered! Show details ·  1

Works well – The recent Sydney rains have made dehumidifiers essential, but hard to find and expensive. I'm on a budget and settled on the Ionmax over the Chinese brands on Amazon. Pros: Basic decompressor dehumidifer that does the job. Good value for the price. Easy to set up, just plug it in and switch on. Displays humidity and the controls give you the… Read more

option to set desired %. Washable filter saves on having to buy replacements. Can really feel difference after it's been running for a few hours.

Cons: Too loud to run in a bedroom overnight. No option to change fan speed / power.

Overall I'm very happy with the ION622. However, my situation may be different from yours. For large spaces, I recommend at a 20L model at least. If quiet operation if a priority, a desiccate dehumifier can't be beat.

Thank you – This is very portable and easy to store. Have just started using it and it seems to be collecting a lot of moisture from my house.

nearly 4 years and running sweet – Thought people might be looking for a dehumidifier now (march 2022). Bought a ION 622 in July 18 it has worked very well for us. The last 3 weeks it has worked constantly when we've had power(we even ran it on a genset,its that important to us to keep mould out)only stopping when its full or has reached set levels. Cant fault this unit, you can hear it but its not roaring,it might be a little loud when it stops but again not over bearing.

Saved me! – I love it! I bought mine second hand and on the first day it removed 6 Litres of water from my bedroom alone. I went from 94% humidity to a fresh and clean 74% over the day. I have ordered another 2 as my whole hours is around 92% humidity and everything is going mouldy and feels wet and disgusting. Yes it makes noise but it has a compressor.. and compressors make noise.. its not a problem for me.

Amazing – It’s so crazy how much water this can pull from the air, solved my mould issue and one of my best appliances, highly recommended -quiet and effective and easy to empty

Not too bad – Looks good, appropriate price, convenient to move around, doesn't smell like desiccant ones, but noticeably less efficient than a similarly sized (albeit more expensive) desiccant at 20C, rather noisy and doesn't allow changing fan speed.  Show details
