Sorbi Dehumidifier Tenergy Changed Our Tiny House Bathroom Humidity

Updated April 2026: Florida humidity is no joke inside a tiny house bathroom. The Sorbi Dehumidifier by Tenergy pulls over a liter of water from our 40-square-foot bathroom every few days, runs near-silent at 35-42 dB, and doubles as a HEPA air purifier. If you have a small bathroom with moisture issues, this is the fix.

Florida is a very humid place. Most days we walk outside and instantly start to sweat. The spray foam insulation in Tiffany helps keep some of the moisture out of our home, but ultimately it is inevitable that moisture gets in. This is especially true in the bathroom. Since we have a vent that leads directly outside for the exhaust fan, it is that much easier for moisture to get into our bathroom.

Typically the bathroom door is closed since Oliver loves to eat our spider plant. On a typical day, as soon as I get home I jump into the shower, and by the time I am done with emails Sam is getting home from the last exercise class she teaches and immediately jumps into the shower. The back-to-back showers, even with the Delta Exhaust fan we installed, seem to keep moisture in the bathroom longer than we would like. The plants in the bathroom helped but we knew we needed something more. The Sorbi Dehumidifier was the perfect solution.

We were a bit skeptical at first. This thing was a lot smaller than the old school ones we remembered from growing up in the north. How could this tiny thing help us out? We first tried it in our living room area and did not really notice a difference. But then we brought it to our bathroom. To our surprise the dehumidifier worked flawlessly! After about 1L of water that was extracted from the bathroom (typically about two to three days for us) it was time to empty the unit. The unit has an Auto shut off feature so water does not overfill while we are away. It is indicated with a blinking red light, and it worked every time. The water storage sits flush with the back of the unit which helps keep its round design. Emptying the dehumidifier was simple: just pour the removable container down the sink. We pour it in the toilet since it is right next to it and out of the way. Fits like a glove. It is sleek, slim, and hardly noticeable in our small home, which is saying a lot!

On top of removing moisture from the air, the Sorbi Dehumidifier is an air purifier with a HEPA filter. What is a HEPA filter you ask? High-Efficiency Particulate Absorber, meaning it meets the same 99.7% particle reduction standard used in the medical industry, regulated by the United States Department of Energy (DOE). Quality you can count on. We definitely notice a difference! Originally we used plants to help purify the air in the bathroom but this took it to the next level. We have noticed far fewer sulfur smells from the water since. #Floridawaterlife That was a big win for us. We hated that sulfur smell, and this thing definitely helped.

Next was the noise level. Could we hear it at night? Was it loud enough to notice while we are in the bathroom? It is ultra quiet, according to Sorbi, running at 35-42 dB. To put that in perspective, the average library is at 44 dB. Honestly, if it were not for the LED indicators on the unit itself we would not even know it is on.

Overall, this product was a great addition to our home. We are very picky with bringing new gadgets into our tiny house, but this thing was worth every square inch of space. We are thrilled with the results! Huge thanks to our friends at Tenergy for putting us on to this product. We will not go back!
