About this deal
Most importantly – particularly in the current climate – one of our reviewer’s favourite functions was noted as being “the laundry-drying mode”. They tested it with a range of laundry, including heavy duvet covers and, while such items would be sitting on the clothes horse for a couple of days normally, by using this machine, within 24 hours, the items were all dry. Consider us sold.
Though, admittedly, an initial investment, these machines extract moisture and dampness from your surroundings and, in turn, potentially halve your laundry-drying times. Depending on the model’s extracting power and wattage, a dehumidifier can cost anything from just 10p to 30p an hour to run, making them cheaper to use, compared with a tumble drier. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ The multipurpose machines are great for allergy sufferers, tend to be noise-free and have the added benefit of neutralising harmful bacteria in your home. So, if you’ve noticed mould, condensation or a musty odour around your home, it may be time to invest in a dehumidifier for the colder months ahead. And you pay roughly 34p per kilowatt per hour. A fifth is 7p, so you’re going to pay roughly 7p per hour to run a dehumidifier at 200W, assuming it uses full power the whole time. Which is generally far, far cheaper than putting the heating on,” he continued.
