1. What is the life expectancy of the motor?

7. What is the temperature of the air that the Stor-Dry puts out?
The Stor-Dry unit is a low-wattage warm air circulator (.6A) 70 Watts. It circulates warm air dispensed by the unit to prevent stale air pockets, preventing mould, mildew and musty odours. It does not collect water like a dehumidifier. It is typically used in boats, RVs or in closets. If you want to combat those three criteria, the Stor-Dry unit is recommended.
We do not have an actual temperature reading. Still, the unit will effectively prevent mould and mildew in the space of 800 cubic feet for normal conditions and 200 cubic feet for severe conditions. If you have existing mould or mildew – the Stor-Dry will not fix this issue.
