On the market there are many kinds of branded dehumidifiers Nagakawa, Celsius, Winix of Japan, Taiwan, the average price of 3-4 million VND / unit. These machines are effective advertising within to 32m2, but really only effective with less than 20m2 area. However dehumidifiers can not absorb any moisture, but will be somewhat limited moisture in the air. Dehumidifier if can effectively reduce the humidity to 40-60%.
