Thinking about condensation as you do at this time of year   

Anyone tell me which is best, Compressor or Peltier types.

For's and against.

Compressor for me, Checked up a few year back and you got better duty from the comp. The Peltier isn't as noisy but this doesn't matter for a boat.

 

See like which gives info on 3 types http://www.breathingspace.co.uk/dehumidifier-guide-i25

Thanks for that. Very informative site.

Compressor it is then.

I use (and have for 4yrs) a large compressor based model all year round. It is a worry, but then so is leaving the battery charger on in the engine bay!

 

I also have a couple of the desicant/crystal based units in each cabin as back up. I dont leave the dehumidifier to drain in the sink as it would need to be on the worktop and if I used the shower tray I would need to leave the batteries on for the sump pump to work, so just empty the tank every time I check on the boat.

 

I would be more worried about the dishwasher flooding the kitchen than catching fire to be honest.
