A dehumidifier is pretty much the same device as an air conditioner. It has a compressor which uses freon to create a cold surface for water to condense on. The fan only is a simple fan that moves air. The fan is the smallest electrical draw as opposed to the dehumidifier. The fan can have a current draw of as little as 1/10 of an amp when the dehumidifier can have a current draw as much as 15 amps when the compressor is running.
