Product Comparisons

The Piano Life Saver compared with a portable dehumidifier and humidifier which control the entire room's humidity:

The initial cost of a portable dehumidifier and humidifier is about the same as a Piano Life Saver System installed in your piano. However, if you place value on your time, you will pay much more to keep a dehumidifier and humidifier operating continuously.
With the use of a portable dehumidifier and humidifier, you will need to monitor the environment daily with a hygrometer to be sure the humidity remains in a safe range for the piano. The Piano Life Saver automatically keeps the humidity in a safe range for your piano year after year.
To operate a portable dehumidifier or humidifier continuously requires that you empty (or fill) a large reservoir every day. In contrast, the Piano Life Saver's small humidifier requires only one can of water twice a month in most environments.
Portable dehumidifiers and humidifiers are intrusive, noisy appliances while the Piano Life Saver System is hidden inside the piano and works silently.
The electricity cost to operate a portable dehumidifier continuously is at least 11 times the cost to operate the Piano Life Saver System continuously.
In cold northern climates, keeping the entire room in the safe humidity zone for pianos results in continuous condensation on windows which may rot the wood around the window. Condensation also forms inside the walls surrounding the room and prompts the growth of mold and can cause structural damage to both interior and exterior walls.
