Pros: Brilliant for drying clothes in wet weather.
Cons: None.
Overall: We use this in the laundry to dry clothes on the fold out drier when it's too wet to hang them outside. It dries them very much faster and stops the laundry feeling damp and smelly.
We also run vaporisers a lot in winter with two small children getting lots of colds. Usually their rooms get damp but now we can run the dehumidifier during the day and they are much better.

Pros: Compact, light enough to move about easily, easy to empty tank, and sooo quiet.
Overall: Easy to use/set up. It is happily extracting moisture from the air and surrounds of the downstairs part of my house (in its first hour there is more than half a litre in the tank). Amazed at how quiet it is! So far so good! Have been told they are not too power hungry so will see what the next power bill looks like.

Pros: Its solved our damp bedroom problem. Easy to operate.
Cons: Rather expensive - $364 including delivery
Overall: We live in Tasmania where in winter, the cold nights cause wet, dripping windows and even some ceiling mould in our south facing bedroom. After a month of almost daily use of two to five hours (after we get up in the morning and have made the bed) I can say that I am happy with this dehumidifier. The condensation soon clears and another plus is the clothes in the drawers and cupboards have lost that musty smell and the bedding feels noticeably dryer. The carpet also feels summer dry when I walk on it with bare feet. It uses 200 watts so is not too expensive to run. I am surprised at the amount of water I empty out of the unit every three or four days. It blows the dry air out of the louvered top of the unit which can be tilted to go in any direction. It does not warm the air unfortunately, but it's not designed for that. It has a quiet setting if you want to run it while sleeping, but that's not quiet enough for me. It also has a laundry mode for clothes drying. It is a neat unit, quite heavy, but has castors.

Pros: the water it drains it is amazing
Overall: I only had the above for a few weeks I first run it in my bedroom which is cold and damp and musty smell coming out of wardrobe. CF08M stopped all that now my bedsheets no longer feel damp and have to run the heater for less time. Apart from its good performance I am concerned for its running cost as electricity prices keep on escalating.
I do run it between one and two hours three times a week except when humidity levels are higher than %80 then there is need to run it more often.

Pros: Quiet, very effective at removing moisture, easy to use, not too heavy to move around the house, safe to leave running all day and night. I love everything about it.
Cons: None so far.
Overall: I live on the Sunshine Coast and we had so much rain over the christmas period that I discovered mould everywhere in my house ... on bookshelves, lounge suits, walls, windows, in drawers, everywhere! I had previously been trying to control the excess moisture with those damprid containers, but they couldn't keep up. I did some research on the best dehumidifiers and decided on a Delonghi CF08M, but everyone was out of stock - even the warehouse! I ended up paying a little extra and getting a CFO8E model from Joyce Mayne for $380 and put it to work about a month ago. I've had the dehumidifier on rotation around the house and have absorbed 120 litres of excess moisture so far!! I was wondering whether it's rate of absorption would ever slow down, but it's starting to stabilize now. Time will tell how effective the dehumidifier is at controlling the mould, but so far i'm very happy.

Pros: I live in humid north queensland and I use a delongi CFO8M dehumidifier with my air conditioners for better climate control. It blows slightly warm air but my air conditioners can cover that and in return I get better humidity control. I measure the results with a temperature/humidity meter and in a small 2bedroom unit I can keep the humidity between 40% and 60%.
Cons: I like everything about this product.
Overall: I searched all over town and no appliace store had a dehumidifier. I can only draw the conclusion that people are put off this product because it doesnt blow cold air. I think the delongi CFO8M is great. It is compact, stylish, quiet and it does the job it is supposed to do.Buyers should check the wattage of the product against electricity costs to determine running costs, which is easy enough to do these days. I believe the power rating is about 400watt. I ordered my delongi CFO8M on-line and had it in my unit within 3days.

Here's a list of questions other people have asked about DéLonghi CF08E / CF08M / CF05M
What's the difference between the CF08E & CF08M?
Jeff asked on Nov 10, 2011
If you go to www.deLonghi.com the Australian site, you will find dehumidifiers under the name of "air treatment"
The M on CFO8M means manual. The controls are manual. This is the model I have and it is about $50 cheaper than the other one.
The E on CFO8E means electronic and is push button.
I cant find any evidence that the electronic one does more.?
That's as much as I know.

Does the CF08E have a humidistat so that it will turn off when the humidity drops?
Jeff asked on Nov 10, 2011
I doubt it, but you could ask DeLonghi... My perception of a humidistat is that it is a fairly accurate bit of equipment and you may not get that kind of control for the price. My CFO8M certainly didnt have one, so I bought an electronic temp/humidity meter from Jaycar electronics which is fairly accurate if I only want to keep the humidity in the 40 to 60 per cent range. I have had no trouble with the air getting too dry but then I am living in a humid tropical climate where the humidity soars to 90% . At best I only get a 30% drop in humidity but it is a great relief.
oldguy60 replied on Nov 10, 2011
Me too I bough a electronic temp/humidity clock meter from ebay and maintain my room humidity ranges between 55% and 65% anything above that the CF08E works full on for about two hours and if less than 55% I just open the bedroom window as it means dry weather down in Melbourne
srichard replied on Nov 11, 2011
the cfo8m heats the air before it is returned to the room,raising the temperature by up to 4 degrees c. which is not good in a queensland summer. can the heating function be disconnected?
davrod asked on Oct 29, 2011
No, I doubt it.... The heat is generated as part of the process of removing the moisture. If you have an air conditioner being used with the dehumidifier, it must cope with the additional heat generated by the dehumidifier. Its the price you pay for humidity control and the extra comfort of ideal humidity. I like to use mine this way even though it makes the aircon work harder. I also like to use it when the air conditioner starts to smell from mold growing inside.
There are air conditioners with a dehumidifier cycle, but when one uses these, it becomes evident that, on the dehumidifier cycle the temperature is not controllable, and just runs off towards the minimum, so it would be necessary switch cycles continuously to get the best result.
Portable refrigerant air conditioners discharge heat from the air, out a window or door, via a flexible pipe, but one must remember that when they are switched off, the whole unit (a package of hot metal)is completely indoors. This could make things uncomfortable in a small room.
There are good electronic temperature/humidity meters available from "Jaycar" in Townsville Nth qld if one wants to measure comfort level humidity, which is about 40% to 60%.

does anyone have operating instructions for DeLonghi CF08M please
anka asked on Jun 1, 2011
Yes, If you look up this model on the Delonghi website you will find a little section to click on that says Instruction Manual and this contains the operating instructions.
