4 Interior dehumidifier, Absorbs damp crystals in box

Product Information

While all dehumidifiers have the same aim, which type you go for will depend on where and how you will use it. The tablet uses activated crystals and anti-odour agents to absorb moisture and neutralise foul odours simultaneously. However, it’s a good performer for its size, reducing humidity in a damp-prone living room by 9% in the first hour and by nearly 22% within two hours. High humidity often occurs due to excess moisture and condensation, which can be caused by various factors, such as drying your clothes on radiators, as well as leaks and poor ventilation.

Dust mites and mould spores thrive and can trigger allergies, skin irritation and respiratory problems such as asthma.

You might even find your favourite things affected: books, clothing, furniture, printed art and old records can all be wrecked by mould and damp.

We were shocked by just how well this machine worked – we left it running in different areas of the house, and the air felt a lot dryer and clearer.

Don’t get too excited about any claims of silent running – we found that, while actively dehumidifying, it puts out around 50dB on all of its three settings, so you won’t want to sit and watch the TV while it’s on.The right dehumidifier for you will depend on your room size, the scale of your moisture issues, and how quickly you want the appliance to remove moisture. Plus, all offer a built-in air purification function to improve air quality within the home in more ways than one.

And at 9kg it’s light enough to take from room to room, making this a great dehumidifier for the average flat or small to medium-sized home. And whilst its energy use is low compared to many dehumidifiers on the market, it can't beat the super energy-efficient MeacoDry Arete One in this regard.Overall, this is a best-in-class dehumidifier that does a fantastic job of extracting moisture from the home and is one of the best dehumidifier for drying washing fast.

We test dehumidifiers between October and March in real-world conditions in a damp-prone, three-bed detached home. of water from the air per day – in many cases even less – but larger and more powerful dehumidifiers can extract up to 25L per day which can make a huge difference to your home's health if you struggle with damp issues and condensation. Most commonly this is measured in litres per day, so an extraction rate of 10L/per day means the dehumidifier should be able to extract 10 litres of moisture within 24 hours if running continuously.As well, the one from Currys has a timer so you can put it on in the morning and go out about your day. As well as removing excess moisture from the air, it can also clean the air, thanks to the built-in HEPA filter. 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. All that said, the Russell Hobbs RHDH2002 20L dehumidifier still impressed our review team during testing.
