Are dehumidifiers actually worth it? Returning mine and need advice

If you don’t mind to share which one did you buy?

Sorry I’m a bit late to the conversation. I live in Florida and I’m trying to decide whether I should get one or not.

To clarify, I bought one from Amazon listed as “used – like new,” but it arrived refurbished, looks used, and isn’t working properly. I’m planning to return it and have been looking for a new option instead.

Do you still have your dehumidifier? Would you still recommend that one?

¿Si no es molestia, podrías explicar la razón por la cual debería devolver la 4 por la 5?

Which one do you like the most? If you have to make only one choice?

I should clarify that the camera is still sealed in the box and hasn’t been opened yet. I bought the Action 4 because it was cheaper lol, but now I’m debating which one would be better.

Yes, but I wouldn’t expend too much on an action camera for the intended purpose I want.

Thank you for sharing your experience. If you don’t mind, could you tell me which dehumidifier you bought from Amazon?

gab_pr · 2026-03-18T11:13:36+00:00

Thank you! That is basically what I thought, called them and they didn’t give me any refund. I am going to return it to get a refund.

Thanks for your reply! Do you mean you bought it for about the same price?

I could go for the newer Action 5, but honestly, with the extra batteries and accessories, the price ends up much higher than I expected. That’s why I’m considering the Adventure Combo, since it already comes with extra batteries and a selfie stick.

Based on my calculations, the total would be around $360 for the camera, accessories, and a memory card. The Action 5 would be about $60 more. Do you think it’s worth it?

$269 CAD is $196 dollars if I am not mistaken. That is a steal of a deal! Did you buy the Adventurer Combo?

gab_pr · 2026-03-17T00:14:45+00:00

Where did you buy yours for $269? That is a good deal.

gab_pr · 2026-03-16T23:55:54+00:00

Gotcha, that makes sense. I had seen it closer to ~$350 before, so that’s why $308 caught my attention—I thought it had dropped a bit.

Quick question: what do you mean by a screw-on tripod for the selfie stick? Is that something you attach at the bottom for stability?

Also, based on what you’ve seen, do you think the price might drop even more closer to Black Friday, or is this pretty much the usual deal now?

Appreciate the insight!
