I like this bit: "Great for winter use as it warms the air as it

650W
More than i'd want to leave running for long periods.


But you are getting back the latent heat of the water vapour, so the
cost of the heat might be more like that of gas than of electricity.


IIRC Latent heat contributes relatively little.
Domestic refrigerant models are nearer 200w.
