Should I run my mini split in cool mode or dry mode for best results?

Thanks this way really helpful!! I like how you showed the condensation coming out of the pipe.

Love the video. It was helpful.

I would like to know how much more energy the ac is using than dry mode when in a normal mode, not turbo. I would imagine turbo would use more energy by default. I'm in Louisiana with very high humidity and dry mode cools amazingly well. I just want to make sure I'm also being energy efficient. Thanks for the video.

115 F today. Dry mode don't get-r-done. Tomorrow I will try TURBO once the batteries reach 100% and the PV is freed up. Good job on the video. Thank You

nice n dry there , here in E NC its 90 at 11 am 79 percent humidity.

Modern air conditioners are designed by idiots. Who in the world would buy an air conditioner which serves to dehumidify the air or works just as a fan? The purpose of using an air conditioner is of course to cool down the air. Just 1 mode is enough. Too many modes makes operating an air cond so hard that it needs a genius to do it. I spent many years using my air cond to realize that there are 3 modes. I had been wondering why my air cond worked intermittently. Adding to the mess were the timer and sleep functions. The designers should have included a default mode which is air cooling without the timer and sleep, if they so wish to make the air cond so hard for users to use.
Another point to make: If you want to save on electrical bill, use a fan, not an air-cond.

I can set the temperature in Dry Mode on my Midea split system but that doesn't seem to change the room temperature much

Nice to finally know the answer to the power question and to see the proof! Makes sense because AC cools and dehumidifies at the same time so it should take more power.

I live in a country with 70 to 80% humidity. Can I leave dry mode on all night since the tempteratures arent high? Does using dry mode all night harm me or the unit? I see people recommending 2 hours at most. My ac lets me set the temperature in dry mode

I run mine on dry mode and it gets freezing but if I put it on cool mode the humidity rises like crazy (I live in Puerto Rico)

If it's 90° and 85% humidity out, is cooling mode better? The heat doesn't bother me as much as the humidity

Is the only difference between Dry and Cool modes the fan speed on the evaporator?

its hard to believe united states still carries any decent image for the World to remember

You have to turn the laser mode off o. The thermometer and just let it scan to get the actual room temperature using the laser is only to get temperature on service

Just leave it on cool mode those systems use minimal power lees then a stand or ceiling fan actually

smart move

My Della MINi Split causes the humidity level to go up much higher than the outdoor air; Dry mode does its job just fine. It's good to know that the dry mode is cheaper to run. I will use the dry mode most of the time from now on. It seems to work the best for my situation. Thanks. I might add that the dry mode lowers temp, too.

Dry mode feels MUCH cooler than "ccol" mode, imo.

Inwosh we had 37% RH

“Skanky” 😂

Great video! Thank YOU! This was a question I’ve been wondering for months. There’s a lot of conflicting info online.

Cool mode goals is to cool down the room to the temperature that you want. Dry mode will not control the temperature. The coil is cold with low fan speed to get water out of the air. So the room temperature might not cool down. Air conditioner is not designed to dry the air. It has poor performance. It’s better to install dehumidifier.
