Atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) devices represent a fruitful hope to cope with the water shortage problem throughout the world. The vast development in AWH technology and the wide spread of various AWH techniques will largely contribute to the implementation of AWH machines in different household, agricultural and industrial applications. In the last decades, a huge amount of research has been done on AWH methods with amazing differences in results that mislead readers and even researchers. In this study, the AWH theoretical technology developments, various AWH methods and various AWH machines in the market were reviewed. A comparison between the different theoretical methods was presented, concentration on unifying results based on area and energy consumption per harvested amount was performed for clear judgment on the different published data. The gaps between theory and market available devices were stated with recommendations for further development in AWH technology.
