Product Information

And, on testing, I found the Pro Breeze 20L Premium Dehumidifier with Special Laundry Mode performed exceptionally well. If you have a serious damp or condensation problem, it’s worth buying a model with a bigger tank so that it keeps working all night. How to choose the best dehumidifier for your home The comparable MeacoArete 20L Dry Arete One Dehumidifier with its 216W energy usage is also more energy efficient which means lower running costs than the 440W Pro Breeze Premium model.

Whilst this dehumidifier doesn't offer a specific laundry drying function, we still found it helpful at drying wet washing, although it took longer to do so than the MeacoDry Arete One Dehumidifier or Pro Breeze 20L Premium Dehumidifier with Special Laundry Mode which both offer a speedy dedicated laundry-drying boost mode. Dehumidifiers are appliances that you need to leave running for a while, so noise can be a real problem. This is why we include a quietness rating in our dehumidifier testing. Running costs vary depending on the size, make and model of dehumidifier you opt for. However, the Pro Breeze 12L Low Energy dehumidifier is specifically marketed as a low energy use dehumidifier, so energy costs should be low.Most dehumidifiers are noisy, averaging decibel levels of between 34-48dB. That's because they draw in air via a fan and then use a compressor and refrigerant to cool and condense the air to extract the moisture from it. The other area the Pro Breeze 20L Premium Dehumidifier with Special Laundry Mode aims to improve upon the performance of its predecessor, thePro Breeze 20L Dehumidifier with Laundry Mode, is in noise levels. High Extraction: Efficiently removes up to 12 litres of water per day with low energy consumption. Ideal for damp, mould, condensation, and moisture in homes, garages, and bathrooms suffering from damp and humidity.

There are a few key things you need to consider when shopping for a dehumidifier, and various features you need to weigh up the importance of in terms of quality. Here are the sort of things you should be looking at when considering the best dehumidifier for your needs: Overall, I found this one of the easiest dehumidifiers to use out of all the options I've tested. Especially thanks to its Smart humidity sensor which automatically controls the dehumidifier for you to achieve your desired humidity level. More on that later. Performance Digital LED Display: The Digital LED screen displays the current room humidity level and allows you to control 5 dehumidification modes including strong, continuous, normal, ventilation and laundry. There are two main types of dehumidifiers that work in slightly different ways: desiccant dehumidifiers and compressor (also known as refrigerant) dehumidifiers. While all dehumidifiers have the same aim, which type you go for will depend on where and how you will use it. Desiccant dehumidifier

How to choose the best dehumidifier for your home

To help with this, the Pro Breeze 12L Low Energy Dehumidifier benefits from 'storage' mode. To activate, just press and hold the sleep mode button for three seconds. This will cause the dehumidifier to stop collecting water and run the fan on high speed for around 30 minutes, followed by another 20 minutes at low speed. This process dries the dehumidifier out so you can safely store it away. It's fair to say that most dehumidifiers aren't the most stylish of appliances, which is why the De'Longhi Tascuigo AriaDry Multi Dehumidifier is something of a breath of fresh air amidst the usual boxy white plastic designs. 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. Portability: A model with a handle or wheels/castors (or both) will be easier to move around, especially if you buy a large, heavy dehumidifier. If you’re only ever going to use the dehumidifier in one room and won’t want to put it away much, this might not be so important to you.

Fan speeds: Some dehumidifiers have just one speed for continuous drying, limiting your control. Whilst others have up to three, which is advantageous if you want to adjust it for faster drying or put it on a lower (and possibly quieter) setting. It's also important not to confuse the extraction rate with a dehumidifiers water tank capacity. As both are generally measured in litres or millilitres this can sometimes cause confusion. I also found it very noisy. Even when the fan was set to low I could hear it over the TV, and I definitely couldn't have slept with it running. I also didn’t find it a great help with drying clothes, whilst it did take some of the moisture out of the garments, it didn’t leave them airing-cupboard dry like the best dehumidifiers I've tested. Litres per Day: Removes up to 12 Litres of water per day with low energy consumption. Ideal for dampness, mould and moisture in homes, basements and bathrooms suffering from damp and humid conditions. Whilst this dehumidifier is compact in stature, it is heavy, weighing in at 9.5kg. Pro Breeze have tried to make it as portable as possible by adding a fold-down handle to the top and built-in castor wheels to the base.For comparison, at current energy costs, the MeacoDry Arete One Dehumidifier uses around 6p of electricity per hour, and the Pro Breeze 20L Premium uses nearly twice that at roughly 12p per hour.
