Product Information

If you're not yet a member, join Which? to get instant access to the following dehumidifier brand verdicts: Argos, Blyss, Challenge, DeLonghi, Dimplex, Ebac, EcoAir, Electriq, Logik, Meaco and Pro Breeze. The Pro Breeze also has "Smart" features that aren't found on older dehumidifiers. For example, there's an app for controlling the target humidity and viewing the current humidity level. You can also choose from three modes and create schedules. Compressor dehumidifiers work in much the same way as a fridge or freezer. They draw in air and cool it, condensing any moisture as it passes across a refrigerated coil. The water then drips off into a water tank below, while the air is reheated and released into the room. Compressor dehumidifiers can be noisy and may use more energy than other types, although new compressor technology and refrigerants are bringing improvements on both counts. They’re most efficient at warmer temperatures of 20°C and above, and your best bet if you need to remove lots of moisture from a larger space. Air filter: Some models come with a HEPA filter which helps to provide cleaner air in your home, which will be helpful for any allergy sufferers. If you have a big home and need faster water extraction than the average dehumidifier, then the Pro Breeze 30L could be the perfect option (replacing the EcoAir DC18 on this list). The Pro Breeze provides a whopping 30 litres per day maximum extraction rate, along with smart features and excellent performance.

The 11 litre maximum extraction rate makes it perfect for small homes or flats, although we don't recommend it for larger houses. With its digital control panel, we also like that the EcoAir is easy to operate, quiet, and energy efficient. Our trials showed that moisture absorbers won’t do much to reduce damp in a room that’s routinely used for drying laundry. So moisture absorbers can help with small day-to-day damp issues, but shouldn’t be relied upon for any serious damp-busting.If you need a dehumidifier for an unheated room, such as a cellar, garage or attic, then you'll want to buy a desiccant model. These are designed in a way that allows them to function more effectively in cold rooms. Choosing a size or capacity O nce again, I cannot emphasise enough how nice this thing looks. It will literally blend right in to your decor regardless of your home’s interior design. Water tank capacity: This is how much water the unit can hold, ranging from around 250ml to six litres. The smaller the dehumidifier, the more regularly you’ll have to empty the tank, though some larger models have a continuous drainage option through a hose.

Non-electric dehumidifiers use passive processes to remove water from the air. As you might imagine, this is much less effective than an electric dehumidifier. Most use some sort of desiccant, or drying, material. Some can only be used once, while others can be dried in the microwave and re-used. As a desiccant model with an 8 litre per day capacity, the Zambezi is more effective incooler temperatures than refrigerant models. At 10 degrees Celsius, for example, it's able to extract up to 7.5 litre per day depending on humidity. This makes it suitable for garages, conservatories and other cooler areas. If available, make use of timer or automatic shut-off features so the dehumidifier isn’t running continuously while you’re out of the house or asleep. Most buyers overlook these aspects. Remember, different products have different advanced features, which only the manual can fully explain. One option is kerbside collection for small electrical items – in many cases, your local council will collect smaller items such as toasters and kettles. Alternatively, you can drop items at a local recycling centre, or hand them over to retailers that have their own recycling schemes.Intelligent Humidity Control + Wifi function】With easy-to-use digital controls and a clear LED display, adjusting humidity levels and settings is a breeze.The dehumidifier continually monitors indoor humidity levels, adapting its operation to maintain an ideal comfort zone and you are able to use the app to have remote access TheDD122FW MK5 Classic has a humidistat system for detecting humidity and adjusting its settings accordingly. This allows it to change between standby, economy and full power modes automatically, saving energy and preventing the air becoming too dry. The lightweight design (6kg) makes it easy to carry between rooms. Discover which retailers are rated highly by Which? members with our expert guide on the best and worst shops . How to dry clothes indoors during winter

SAVE, SAVE, SAVE – Energy, money and time are precious commodities indeed, especially with the rising costs of living. By being more efficient and more cost effective than a tumble dryer by massive 93% on average, you’ll have more cash to spare and the time to spend it doing the things you love. Like alluded to above, larger rooms will typically require larger dehumidifiers; therefore, make sure you get a space-appropriate dehumidifier when making your selection. Using a dehumidifier designed for large rooms in a small room will probably be inefficient unless used at lower power levels. Keep in mind, though, that not all dehumidifiers have these settings. Transparency is really important to us and that's why we're always upfront about where we find our recommendations. We write about products that we feel offer the best value to most parents – the ones that our users would recommend to their own friends and family. The EcoAir Summit S is a refrigerant dehumidifier with excellent water extraction at room temperature or above. It has a maximum extraction rate of 12 litres per day and two fan settings depending on your requirements.If you are worried about yet another noisy product injecting monotonous din into your living area, you have got nothing to worry about with the Pro Breeze Pro Breeze® 1500 ml. The patented thermoelectric Peltier technology means there’s no need for a suppressor, and the auto shut-off feature is yet another fine addition to this well-priced dehumidifier. It's also highly effective at removing water at room temperature. At 20 degrees Celsius and a 60% humidity, for example, it's able to extract up to 8.3 litres per day. We’ve provided helpful guidelines throughout this article to help you deduce how often you’ll need to be draining your tanks, but you can simply divide the total 24-hour dehumidification rate by the tank to get a sense of how many times a day that you will need to be draining your tank (assuming full use at full power).
