Another plus for the dehumidifier is that it is rather small in its build, only measuring 13 inches wide and 17 inches high. The weight of the unit is also a manageable 9.5kgs. This compact build comes in handy when you want to move the dehumidifier since it does not have a handle or caster wheels. Let's start with the basics though. It's a refrigerant (compressor) dehumidifier with a built-in humidistat, digital display and a 24 hour timer. Weighing 9.5kg, it's considerably lighter than the 20L version, and also much smaller. The plain white design isn't going to win any awards for innovation, but it's clean and simple to use.

This isn’t a particularly quiet machine, producing 48dB of sound, which is slightly worse than competitors. Having one fan speed doesn’t help in this regard as there’s no way to reduce the noise when you’ve had enough of it. I wouldn’t want to keep this in the room that I watched television or in the bedroom, but if kept in a hallway or conservatory the sound doesn’t carry far enough to be a problem. Rubber feet at the base help to give the unit more stability when setting it up. However, this does not do much in making it easier to move the dehumidifier. Thanks to its small and light build, you can simply lift and carry the unit to any spot in the house. Emptying the electriQ 10L Free unlimited phone support with a UK dedicated claims line. We have a dedicated claims line and are here to help. The Electriq 10l dehumidifier is a solid model, but, unlike the 20L version, we can't recommend it over alternatives such as the Meaco Small Home Dehumidifier. It's easy to use and relatively cheap, but struggles to remove enough water from the air compared to its closest competitors.Protect your health and home from the harmful effects of excess humidity with this fast-dry 10L desiccant dehumidifier from electriQ - now at popular request with WiFi Alexa/ Google Assistant voice control and automation. Suitable for flats and homes up to 6 bedrooms, this powerful yet incredibly energy efficient dehumidifier provides a cost-effective solution in combating damp, mould and condensation. Electriq dehumidifiers often go under the radar compared to the "big three" manufacturers ( Ebac, E coAir and Meaco) - but they are starting to grow in popularity. The Electriq CD10L performs adequately at room temperature, but ​it can't match the best 10 litre dehumidifiers for water removal. When the temperature drops it really starts to struggle though - even more than the average refrigerant.

To take advantage of this great offer just simply add the warranty extension you want and we'll do the rest.

QUIET OPERATION

The other downside is that the tank only has a slightly low capacity of 2 litres. Therefore, while it is relatively easy to empty the tank, the process will need to be repeated more often. It's not the most powerful dehumidifier on the market - you wouldn't expect it to be with the low energy consumption. But it can do a decent job at removing water, especially at room temperature or above.

The egg-shaped appliance measures 33.5cm wide by 28.0cm deep by 43.5cm tall, which is roughly on a par with the other dehumidifiers in its class. One complaint we have about this model is the 5 litre water tank. While this is bigger than most tanks, we would have liked a 6 litre tank considering the high maximum extraction rate. It's also not cheap, so there are probably better options if you don't need the "Smart" features. Low-temperature operation perfect for garages, cellars, holiday homes, boats and caravans now with advanced app humidity and temperature monitoring Up/down buttons to control the desired humidity level. Use these buttons to set the relative humidity between 35% and 80%RH. This controls the humidistat, which stops the machine from dehumidifying when the desired humidity is reached, thereby saving energy. ElectrIQ recommend that you set the machine to 50%RH and I see no need to deviate from that. It's not perfect though. The CD20LE is one of the bulkiest dehumidifiers on the market, weighing a hefty 13.8kg and with a width of 42.5cm. The built-in carry handle and castors make it easier to move around the home, but it's certainly not a portable dehumidifier. It's also not as effective in cooler conditions, so for garages or unheated rooms we recommend a desiccant dehumidifier.

With a 10 litre capacity, the Electriq CD10L is clearly designed for smaller homes than the excellent CD20LE. Unfortunately, we don't think it matches the performance of its bigger sibling. Who are Electriq though? Which are the company's the best dehumidifiers? And are there any you should avoid? Let's find out. Who Are Electriq?

The ElectrIQ 10L weighs 10.5kg, which is about average for a refrigerant dehumidifier of this power.

If you need to lift it up then there’s a chunky carrying handle that folds out of the top of the unit. Continuous/ laundry button. Press this button to trigger the continuous/ laundry mode.

So it’s a shame not to see it on the CD10L, but not unexpected for a machine in this price range. Once activated, the auto feature simply switches the dehumidifier on and off as the moisture content in the home increases and decreases. The goal is to keep the room’s humidity at the level you have set whilst using the least amount of energy possible.
