Pro Breeze Dehumidifier 500ml Compact and Portable Mini Air Dehumidifier for Damp, Mould, Moisture in Home, Kitchen, Bedroom, Caravan, Office, Garage, Bathroom, Basement

Product Information

Lastly, there's extra functionality to consider. The best dehumidifiers you can buy offer a Smart mode. That means you can leave the dehumidifier running and its sensors will detect the humidity levels and switch the machine on and off to keep humidity within your desired range. That saves energy (and money) as the appliance isn't running if it doesn't need to be. If you’re looking for a small dehumidifier, then the Russell Hobbs RHDH1061G Portable Dehumidifier is about as compact as it gets, measuring just H22 x W14 x D14cm and weighing in at 0.9kg. There are a couple of complaints, similar to mine, regarding its noise levels, stating that it’s not quiet even when on its lowest fan setting, and certainly not in night mode, or on a high fan speed setting. Cost-effective operation: The ProBreeze is an energy-efficient workhorse, extracting up to 20 litres of water daily, costing as little as 14p/hour to run. The tank capacity dictates how much water the water tank of the dehumidifier can hold before it needs emptying. A larger tank capacity – such as the MeacoDry Arete One Dehumidifier's generous 2.5L or 4.8Ltanks – means you won't be emptying it as frequently.

However, it's not perfect. A powerful extraction rate of 20L, plus that Laundry boost mode, means higher running costs. This dehumidifier guzzles 440W of energy compared to the 20L MeacoDry Arete One's 216W. What the Pro Breeze 20L Premium does offer is a more generous water tank of 5.5L compared to the 20L MeacoDry Arete One's 4.8L, although in practice we didn't find ourselves emptying the MeacoDry that much more frequently.At 13kg, this is one of the heavier dehumidifiers in the Pro Breeze range. However, that doesn’t mean that it isn’t easy to move around. 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. Finding the best dehumidifier for your home depends a lot on the type of moisture issue you're trying to solve, so it's always worth speaking with the customer service department of the manufacturer you're hoping to buy from to ensure you have the right model for your needs.

Overall, if you can put up with its increased noise volume and absorb the higher running costs, we think thePro Breeze 20L Premium Dehumidifier with Special Laundry Modeis a good buy. It's definitely the best dehumidifier for drying clothes that we've tested, and anything that makes wet-weather laundry days easier is a win in our books. And, on testing, I found the Pro Breeze 20L Premium Dehumidifier with Special Laundry Mode performed exceptionally well. 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. 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.When operating the Pro Breeze 12L Low Energy Dehumidifier, you can either leave it running continuously until you switch it off, or make the most of the built-in Automatic Humidity Sensor. This allows you to set your desired room humidity between 30%-80%, and once this level is reached the unit will turn off to conserve energy. I was less impressed by the unit's sleep function, as it meant I couldn’t adjust the fan speed, and although this dehumidifier is noisy in all modes (more on that below), it is even more so on a high fan setting.

The Pro Breeze 20L Premium Dehumidifier with Special Laundry Mode can extract up to 20 litres of excess moisture from the air per day, making it perfect for larger spaces up to 35 square meters. The EcoAir DD1 Simple MK3 Dehumidifier can extract up to 7.5 litres of moisture per day in cold temperatures as low as 1ºc, so it's a very useful option for conservatorys, basements or garages that don't have dedicated heating, as well as unheated rooms in the home during winter months. Auto functions or humidistats stopping working, inconsistent performance and complete failure are three of the most common dehumidifier problems, according to our most recent survey data. Knowing which dehumidifier brands are the most prone to faults could save you money.The Pro Breeze Premium 20L Dehumidifier with Special Laundry Mode arrived in a large cardboard box. This isn’t a light machine, in fact, it weighs in at 13kg, but thankfully, there are cutouts on the side of the box, which made lifting it and bringing it inside a whole lot easier.

Large Water Tank: The 1.8L water tank automatically shuts off when full, with a continuous drainage hose included for long-term use. The table below summarises this year's results. Brands are ranked by their customer score, which reveals how satisfied owners are with their dehumidifier and how likely they are to recommend it, plus how each brand's dehumidifier scores on average in our independent lab tests. The dehumidifier promptly stopped once the target humidity was met which means I used less energy, making it ideal for anyone worrying about electricity bills. Despite its compact size, it's also heavy. And whilst it does have a carry handle and castors, you’re not going to want to move it around too much.I did find the buttons weren't as responsive as I expected during my tests; you will need to give each a firm press to select your setting. But this can also be a good thing as it avoids any accidental selections. Once you've removed it, it's important to regularly clean out the water tank to ensure that you don’t have a build-up of deposits. It can be washed in warm soapy water, just be sure to fully dry the water tank before replacing it in the machine, especially if you’re not going to use the dehumidifier for a while so that you don’t get any mould. When I tested the laundry function on the Russell Hobbs 20L dehumidifier to dry t-shirts in a small bedroom, it definitely sped up the drying time' said our reviewer. 'The T-shirts closest to the dehumidifier dried in 3 hours, but those further away took aboutdouble that time to completely dry'. How we test Inside the box, you’ll find the unit, an instruction manual and a small piece of plastic pipe, which can be used if you want to run this dehumidifier in continuous mode, but more about that later.
