Air conditioners and dehumidifiers also do this.

I'm interested if there's any efficiency loss in generation, as I'm assuming it works by having a cooled radiator of some kind and causing condensation to the air around it. I'm assuming it drives a compressor of some sort to do this.

I don't see it as a big deal. But if they can do it without efficiency lost, then it's good I think.
