Product Information

Its talents don’t end there; it has a laundry mode to dry your washing and a night mode for working quietly while you get some kip, although it’s still not really suitable for lighter sleepers. We’ve tested dozens of dehumidifiers in real-life damp conditions, measuring their impact using humidity meters and air quality monitors, to recommend the best dehumidifiers to banish the damp and mould in your home. The HOMCOM dehumidifier has a large capacity of 10 litres per day, removing up to 10 litres of water under 80%RH and 30°C conditions.

It’s good at its job, too, taking the humidity level in our test room down from 72% to 48% within an hour, though only reaching 46% with another hour to play with.

Push that further to 15, 18 or 20 litres and you can dehumidify large rooms or even a flat, terraced house or a floor of a detached house or semi. Peltier dehumidifiers also cool the air and condense the moisture content into water, but they do it using a cold heat-sink rather than a compressor. Three litres is the absolute minimum, while five or six litres will give you a bit less emptying to do.

Filter system with activated carbon, HEPA and pre-filter and HEPA to remove dust, mites, allergens, smoke and light odours.Sometimes the construction of the building, poor insulation, ineffective drainage or a lack of ventilation are to blame, while cooking or drying clothes inside can have an impact. If your home suffers from damp patches or mould, a dehumidifier could be the answer to your problems. Wet laundry drying on a rack or radiator is one of the most common causes of excess moisture in the winter months, and models with a specific laundry setting are designed to suck the water out of your drying clothes at a faster rate and prevent it from adding to the room’s humidity.

We then retested the humidifiers in other areas of the house, including an upstairs landing and – with desiccant models – a free-standing concrete garage.

While we measured noise levels of around 42dB with the fans running at full tilt, these rapidly decreased to well below 40dB, which is about as close as dehumidifiers get to silent.
