Tools and Hardware Reviews of Amcor MD250 Mini Dehumidifier
Customer Review: mini-dehumidifier rating
Summary: 4 Stars
The Amcor MD250 Mini Dehumidifier was received promptly within the allotted time period, in the original packaging and in new condition. I, the buyer, didn't research the product well enough thinking it would be somewhat bigger than it was but irregardless of that aspect it works well enough, the color is something other than the usual drab white of most appliances (silver), and it runs with minimal noise. It has built into it, unlike a bigger model I had before, an air ionizer too. That additional element makes it a good buy for the money. This product was built for and meant for small rooms and will keep the air from becoming too damp (and so creating mildew and mold) and will freshen the air, allowing for cleaner air. All in all I am happy with this find and buy and the professionalism of the seller.Customer Review: half and half
Summary: 3 Stars
This item was so inexpensive that I purchased two. One is working quite well, and I am happy with it. The other did not work for 24 hours. I plugged it in Friday night, and it was dead on Saturday morning. I'm glad that I had two so that I could switch and see which part of the unit was dead (the console or the wiring). The console was the defunct part. Now I have to go though the hell of returning to Amazon.
Suggestion: get two just in case. The working one does work well.
Customer Review: so so

This product does work for a real, small area. Anything bigger than a small box or something really didn't make much of a difference. It does fill up with water every other day so it is working just very little or I got alot of humidity ??? Thankyou as shipping was good and I got what I paid for .Customer Review: last only 6 months or less

I bought this from Amazon on August 9, 2007. It worked fine at first. I emptied it about once a week and it was almost full.
Great for my closet.
However this last week, I emptied it as usual, and when I plugged it back in and tried to turn it on, nothing happened.
I have called Amcor and they promised to get back to me in 24 hours. That was almost a week ago.
If they do get back to me I will post again about what they said/did.
I guess I will have to just get one of those big, real dehumidifiers from the hardware store. Too bad, this is just the right size for what I need.
but we are coming into the rainy season here and humidity is 87%
Oct. 15, 2007. No word from AMCOR in reply to my phone call. I emailed them today and received a reply. I have to give them my credit card information so they can charge me for shipping! I have to pay to ship my non-working unit and also for them to ship me a replacement! From AUSTRALIA!!!
Oct 16, 2007. After not working all last week, I tried it several days in a row... it now is working again. When it first came on it made a rattling noise for a few moments, then became quiet again. It is working, but NOW when the AC adaptor is plugged in, the radio in the same room makes a high whining noise. It didn't before.
also, the last time I emptied it, the red light was on, and it had turned off due to being full.
Previously I had always emptied it before that point. Maybe that caused the problem? Not a good feature...
so I am again pleased with it, except that I have to turn it off if I want to listen to the radio. Or I could put the Adaptor in the next room and use a very long extension cord, I suppose... Comment | Permalink | Why no voting

Okay it worked well for the last couple of weeks. I emptied it before it got full and it started up when I plugged it in again.
However, last night, I looked in at it, and it had stopped. It was less than half full, so it should not have turned itself off. The adaptor still had a green light on.
I emptied it again and plugged in, tried to turn on. No response.
A few days ago I thought it was making a louder sound than before, sort of a huffing sound.
Also this unit and the adaptor both get quite warm when in use.
I think the motor is going, or has gone out. Based on my experience two weeks ago, I will continue to try to start it every other day or so...
maybe it will start up again.
One email I got from Amcor about it said that it is "clearly written in the Warranty, that shipping to and from the factory is paid by the customer"
Yes, but it is also a YEAR Warranty. and this worked for two months, then a week break, then for two weeks. and now?
I expect a one-year warranty means the item is likely to last a year without needing to be replaced.
