A bargain if it lasts long enough to deliver 4500 gallons (and your electricity is free)
0Want a source of distilled water that you don’t have to fill from the tap? Hammacher-Schlemmer has you covered. For just $4699.00, you can get a standalone dehumidifier that stores and dispenses chilled drinking water extracted from the air. After just 4500 gallons (about 18,000 typical bottles), it will have paid for itself! (Don’t ask how many hours of runtime are involved.)

This assumes that four 16.9 oz bottles of water cost around $1.15, with some rounding for the sake of simplicity. Also, the cost of the electricity is not factored in. The specs say that it can produce “up to” about 2.5 gallons of water per day, so if you can afford to have someone emptying it every few hours, your break-even point is about five years down the road.
Such a deal! And you can use your own drink containers, so there’s less plastic waste! Order now, while there’s still stock on hand!
