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. When it comes to energy guzzlers, the tumble dryer is usually one of the biggest offenders; But how do you properly dry clothes during the winter?Of course, it doesn’t gather as much moisture as its electric counterparts, but it’s silent, doesn’t use any electricity and is easy to move around, so what’s not to love? The laundry function’s quite effective too, helping dry your washing indoors without adding a layer of condensation to the windows. The first button lets you cycle through the target humidity in five per cent increments from 40 to 70 per cent.

As it's name would suggest, the Simple MK3 is also very simple to set-up and operate with easy-to-use manual controls. Most will work above 5°C, but they're most efficient at an ambient temperature of around 20°C (depending on the individual model).

It has a low extraction rate compared to most compressor dehumidifiers and isn't powerful enough to help dry washing, but in our tests its Peltier condenser worked well to eliminate window condensation and reduce moisture levels within rooms under 15m².Never had one of these before, certainly does work, after long suffering with condensation on bedroom windows every morning the machine made a noticeable improvement after around 36 hours of constant use, amazing how much water was collected. Some of the best electric heaters we’ve reviewed have a similar low-energy, frost-protection function. Dehumidifiers work by drawing excess moisture from the air, before collecting it in a drip tray and pushing warm, dry air back into the room.

The EcoAir DD1 Simple MK3 can be operated in any space that's above 1°C, making it a great option for a garage, basement, or unheated rooms during the winter months. 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. It has an automatic shut-off feature when the water tank is full and an indicator light to see when you need to empty it.Dehumidifier sales start to climb as soon as the autumn weather rolls in and our homes start to struggle with damp, and more of us are attempting to dry washing indoors. Plus, it’s very economical, as it has a hydrophilic coating that can collect up to 40 per cent more water without using any extra power. We tested a range of dehumidifiers by letting them run continuously in different spaces and under different conditions, such as with laundry drying or while cooking. If you need a dehumidifier capable of reducing moisture in a larger space or have more significant damp levels, then you need a dehumidifier with a high extraction rate.

As a result, desiccant dehumidifiers are the best option for rooms that are likely to fall below 15°c, as at lower temperatures compressor and Peltier models can struggle to work efficiently. You'll find more information on each dehumidifier and why our testers recommend it if you keep on scrolling. As Chris Michael, Managing Director of the air quality brand Meaco says, inside the home, 'excess moisture in the air can come from drying clothes in the house, boiling vegetables, putting the kettle on, bathing, showering, open flame gas style heating, damp clothing, breathing, and the damp British weather.

If you’re looking for a dehumidifier that can clear moisture in a larger space or deal with significant damp levels within the home, then you need a dehumidifier with a high extraction rate. This means they can operate efficiently in lower temperatures, down to just 1°C, and are useful for garages, basements, conservatorys, or unheated rooms in the house over winter.
