Mitsubishi Electric Takes the Damp Out of Winter

Announcement posted by Mitsubishi Electric Australia 22 Jun 2002

Winter is officially here and while most people are finding the best way to cosy up in the cold, Mitsubishi Electric Australia is offering a solution to those for whom the damp can be a problem. The Mitsubishi Electric range of three dehumidifiers can help protect homes and valuable furnishings from damaging damp whatever the season.

In Sydney, June is the wettest month. In Melbourne, August has the most number of rainy days and in Perth and Adelaide, July has the biggest monthly rainfall. So winter really does bring the wet for most Australians.

The combination of wet weather, closed windows and poor ventilation can result in mould, mildew, condensation and damp problems for householders. Mitsubishi dehumidifiers can help to protect homes and health against the effects of excess moisture.

The top of the range model from Mitsubishi Electric (MJE26RX) boasts a staggering 26 litres per day moisture removal capacity. It has a dedicated laundry cycle that dries clothes and is small enough to be moved around the home with ease on its four easy-roll castors. It is also quiet enough to be used in any room at any time of the day or night.

The auto-humidstat automatically monitors the humidity of a room and adjusts the dehumidification settings accordingly, giving optimum moisture removal. This unit also features an air-purifier, making the domestic atmosphere healthier while reducing the spread of those winter germs.

In addition, it features an easy to use LCD display, child lock facilities, drip guard and a generous 5.5 litre capacity water tank. All Mitsubishi Electric dehumidifiers have an auto stop function that cuts the power before they overflow, making them safe to leave unattended.

Keith Allen, General Manager of the Living Environment Group, Mitsubishi Electric Australia, comments: "People who have rising damp problems, mildew in ceilings or walls or those with houses built on sandstone or near the coast will find that a Mitsubishi Electric dehumidifier will make winter a lot more comfortable. The MJE26RX is truly a multi-purpose drying appliance.
