First of all let me start by saying that a friend of mine also got this dehumidifier and he is having the same issues i had, before i returned it, so it’s not that the one i received was broken, it seems that they just don’t work as they are advertised to. Firstly, the humidity in the room i had it in never went below 65%, the moment you open a door it goes up to 70-75% and stays there for a few hours before, it manages to get it back down to a stable 65%. the room wasnt small, but it was definitely not big enough for a 24L per day dehumidifier to fail. I have the 16L morris one which i placed in the same room under the same humidity and temperature, and that one managed to lower the humidity to 55%. A 16L dehumidifier outperforming a 24L one of the exact same brand is laughable to say the least. As i said, my friend has the same dehumidifier for his apartment, and the humidity never goes below 60-65% for him either. The 24L ones seem to be very problematic.
Anyway that aside, the build quality is as cheap as it gets, and I don’t say this just to be harsh, because when i got the 16L one i was happy and so i bought the 24L one, which i then returned due to the issues above. I only really understood how bad the quality is because i bought a 20L inventor (comfort) dehumidifier which believe me when i say, is in a different league. The build quality is literally 10 times better in comparison.
Morris hepa filter is very thin and looks cheap, the inventor one is about 3 or 4 times as thick, and feels much higher in quality. The way the filter port pops out on the morris, i have to literally force my fingers into the little port and pull out as hard as i can to get it to pop open. With the inventor? I just, pull ut out with one finger and it comes out, as it should.
The water tank? ridiculous, just a cheap piece of plastic put into an even cheaper cover that you have to open before taking it out. With the inventor, its a high quality water tank, that comes out like a drawer and then has a pop-up handle that lets you pick it up to empty it, then easily slides back in.
In terms of settings via the app? Morris is also ages behind in this too. The inventor app is much better looking, and the dehumidifier offers way better options.
In terms of power? Well the inventor in the same room reduces the humidity down to 40%, open the door if you want, its going to remain 40%, unlike the morris one that increased by 5-10% and stayed up there for a few hours…
In terms of fan power? Well the inventor at its LOWEST setting, is significantly MORE POWERFUL, than the morris, at its HIGHEST setting. I’m not joking nor exaggerating, i was really surprised by how much more powerful this is.
I can honestly go on and keep describing all the things inventor does better but i think by now you should be able to understand, if you’re looking to buy this dehumidifier, do yourself a favour and buy an inventor one. The 20L comfort one is more than able to outperform this 24L one, but they also have a 25L which is currently at the same price as the morris 24L. This is the funny part, the prices are so similar, yet the quality is ages apart. Seriously the only reason you should ever consider buying a morris is if they’re giving them away for free.
I’ve never in my life been more disappointed with a product. Only reason i got it is because i have a Morris mini fridge which Ive had no issues with at all for over 5 years. So i figured, they must be a good brand right? Well, maybe in mini fridges, not with dehumidifiers.
