Trying the LG Whisen Objet Collection dehumidifier “Humidity dropped from 90% to 40% in just 28 minutes” Low noise and 99.99% sterilization of fan bacteria Top energy efficiency rating also helps cut electricity costs <\/p>\n

During the rainy season, and especially in the sweltering heat these days, indoor air can become damp and sticky. That raises the discomfort index. Laundry takes forever to dry, and a musty smell starts creeping out of the closet. Even the bed where you end the day and try to sleep feels humid and unpleasant.<\/p>\n

I had the chance to use the LG Whisen Objet Collection dehumidifier for the past two weeks and tried it out. It felt like more than just an appliance that removes moisture. It seemed to change the comfort level of daily life. My wife even said, “The air in the house feels different,” which showed just how satisfied we were with life with a dehumidifier.<\/p>\n

The first thing I could immediately feel was the dehumidifying speed. When I turned it on in a room with high humidity, the air quickly felt dry and comfortable.<\/p>\n

In a room where laundry was hung to dry, the drying time was noticeably shorter and the musty smell disappeared naturally. Clothes that could be damaged by a dryer were usually dried on a rack, but in humid weather they often retained odors, which was unpleasant. Once the smell was gone, getting ready for work felt much fresher. According to LG Electronics, the 25L model can reduce humidity in a 90% environment to 40% in just 28 minutes in quick clothing mode.<\/p>\n

The direction and angle of the airflow can also be adjusted depending on the situation. It can send air where it is needed, whether that is a living room where the breeze needs to spread widely, a ceiling where condensation is a concern and air needs to be directed upward, or a space for drying laundry.<\/p>\n

One of the most satisfying parts was the noise level. Since a dehumidifier is an appliance that often runs for long periods, noise matters. In low-noise mode, it operates at around 33 decibels, based on a gentle airflow setting, so it was not very distracting even in the bedroom. LG Electronics said it used a dual inverter compressor to deliver both strong dehumidifying performance and low noise, and after trying it myself, that claim made perfect sense.<\/p>\n

\"The \uc0ac\uc9c4 \ud655\ub300 The water tank uses a slide-out design, so it can be removed easily with one hand. Its transparent material and built-in lighting make it easy to see at a glance, even at night, when it is full. [Reporter Jeon Jong-heon] <\/p>\n

Convenience is another clear advantage. The water tank slides out easily with one hand, and because it is transparent, you can tell at a glance when it is full. When the water reaches the limit line, dehumidification stops automatically. If you connect the continuous drainage hose to a drain, you do not even need to empty the tank.<\/p>\n

The product is also slim for a 25L dehumidifier, measuring 410 mm wide, 640 mm high and 210 mm deep, so it is not burdensome to place it against a wall or in a narrow space. It has 360-degree rotating wheels on the bottom and a hidden handle that pops up when pressed on top, making it easy to move around. Even a third-grade elementary school student could pull it between the living room and a bedroom, which shows how convenient it is to move despite its 25L capacity and 16.4 kg weight.<\/p>\n

\"After \uc0ac\uc9c4 \ud655\ub300 After dehumidification ends, the unit automatically dries internal moisture and sterilizes the fan that releases dehumidified air with UV light. [LG Electronics] <\/p>\n

The hygiene features also inspired confidence from a parent’s perspective, because they take care of areas you cannot see. After use, the internal heat exchanger is automatically dried to remove moisture inside, and the UV fan sterilization function removes harmful bacteria from the blower fan. LG Electronics explained that it was designed to sterilize 99.99% of the bacteria on the fan that releases dehumidified air, reducing concerns about internal hygiene.<\/p>\n

It also pays attention to user preferences. In the LG ThinQ app, LG Electronics\u2019 smart home platform, users can change the color of the water tank lighting if they want to alter the mood of their home dehumidification experience. It is a small touch, but one that reflects the emotional side consumers care about.<\/p>\n

Its range of uses can also be expanded to fit different lifestyles. With separate accessory drying kits, users can quickly dry sneakers, hats and gloves. An enclosed closet-drying kit removes moisture from sealed spaces and helps reduce mold and dampness.<\/p>\n

Consumers who use a dehumidifier for long periods may also want to pay attention to maintenance services. With the subscription care service, users can receive professional maintenance such as filter cleaning, heat exchanger care, air purifier filter replacement, UV sterilization and steam care for the water tank, allowing them to use the product more hygienically.<\/p>\n

LG Electronics has launched the Objet Collection dehumidifier in seven capacities, ranging from 13L to 25L. The lineup has been segmented so users can choose according to the size of the space, from a small walk-in closet to a large living room or utility room. Another notable point is that all models have earned the top energy efficiency rating, helping reduce electricity costs.<\/p>\n

Dehumidifiers are often seen as seasonal appliances used only in summer. But after using one myself, I found that its usefulness extends much further, from drying laundry and managing indoor air to removing moisture from closets. After two weeks of use, I was satisfied enough to feel tempted to buy one. According to LG Electronics, annual dehumidifier sales have been steadily rising since the winter of 2024. Last month, sales increased 30% from a year earlier due to seasonal demand.<\/p>\n
