Pro Breeze 12L/Day Dehumidifier with Digital Humidity Display, Sleep Mode, Continuous Drainage and 24 Hour Timer - Ideal for Damp, Condensation and Laundry Drying

Product Information

Extraction amount: It is essential to consider the maximum amount of moisture your dehumidifier can extract daily. It can range from anywhere from 500ml to upwards of 30 litres. Small units are fine for occasional use or a small area, such as a cupboard or study. Around 12 litres is suitable for a small flat, medium-sized room or a mild damp problem. Up to 16 litres is best for a larger room or one used regularly for washing or cooking, and units with a capacity of up to 20/30 litres can be used to dehumidify whole homes. So, if you’re after the smallest dehumidifier on the market, we think the Russell Hobbs RHDH1061G wins the accolade of best small dehumidifier, with good all round performance for its size housed in one of the smallest builds on the market – along as you don't expect too much from that 0.3L extraction rate.

The only quieter dehumidifiers I've come across are Peltier models, like the Pro Breeze 1500ml Mini Dehumidifier. However, Peltier dehumidifiers are far less powerful than compressor dehumidifiers. For comparison, as I discovered in my Pro Breeze 1500ml Mini Dehumidifier review, this Peltier model can only extract 0.5L of moisture from the air per day, compared to the MeacoDry Arete One range which can extract 10, 12, 20, or 25L of moisture per day! Portability These models certainly have their uses, as they are generally reliable and easy to use. They are also lightweight and use minimal energy. First up, it's worth making clear that this small dehumidifier has a low extraction rate compared to many others on our list. The ProBreeze 1500ml Mini Dehumidifier can extract just 0.5L of moisture from the air per day. For comparison, the lowest extraction rate offered within the MeacoDry Arete One range is 10L of moisture extraction per day. 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 testThere's always humidity in the air, but what can you do if it's too much? The humid air is a great environment for the proliferation of fungi, mould, unpleasant odours, and so on. All of this can have a really negative impact on human health, and the only way to solve this problem is to make the air less humid with the help of a special appliance such as a dehumidifier. This device removes excessive moisture from the air. Modern dehumidifiers can also clean or even heat up the air, helping to make it much better for a person's lungs and overall well-being. Such devices are often used with young children who may be highly susceptible to air-borne illnesses, as well as for any room that may have issues with having an excessive amount of moisture. Dehumidifiers can find a place in most any home, and thankfually, even the best ones are generally not very expensive, putting them well within the budgets of most people.

There are also hidden castors on the base of the dehumidifier, so rolling the unit from room to room is also an option. I found it rolled well on both hard floor and carpet, unlike many other dehumidifiers of this weight that struggled on carpet. Maintenance Because my house can get a little damp, wet washing can take so long to dry indoors. Especially over the winter months. When I had the MeacoDry Arete One dehumidifier running, the wet laundry I had hanging on my clothes airer was dry within hours. According to learnmetrics.com, a dehumidifier uses between 300 watts and 700 watts of energy per hour, depending on size and efficiency. That’s not much - more than your fridge but less than things like kettles and hair dryers. What's the best dehumidifier to buy? The cheapest and smallest dehumidifiers on the market can often only extract 0.5L 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.

During our testing process we found it really easy to use and operate, and our reviewer loved the Smart App connectivity (something few dehumidifiers offer) as it gave her a lot more control over how she could use the machine, saying 'the in-App experience is fantastic, the menus are really clear, and changing the settings is simple'.

EFFICENT MOISTURE REMOVAL: This Pro Breeze dehumidifier efficiently removes damp, mould and moisture in your home, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, caravan, garage, basement or wardrobes. This energy efficient dehumidifier has a running cost as low as 1p per hour (November 2022). The Pro Breeze has a 0.5 litre water tank. This is generous considering the compact size and low extraction rate – most dehumidifiers have a tank that’s smaller than the maximum extraction rate. The result is that you won’t need to empty it every day. The desired relative humidity (RH) can be set between 30% and 80% in normal dehumidification mode. Once the target is reached, the unit switches off automatically.

Should you leave a dehumidifier on all the time?

The unit isn't the lightest or most compact we've tested, but then we wouldn't expect that from a machine this powerful. However, built-in wheels, a retractable carry handle, and cable tidy make it easier to move around the house and store neatly away when it's not in use. The Pro Breeze dehumidifier 12L is very practical and portable. Thanks to its 4 wheels, you can place it wherever you want and transport it effortlessly. Digital LED Display: Digital LED screen displays the current room humidity level and allows you to control 3 dehumidification modes including auto, continuous, and sleep mode. Beyond that, this dehumidifier is very easy to use, the controls are all really well laid out, and there’s not too much to get your head around when it comes to operating it.

A dehumidifier isn't the most exciting of household appliances, but it's obvious that attention has still been paid to the MeacoDry Arete One dehumidifier's design. The unit looks both sleek and modern, with simple monochromestyling that blends easily into a room without standing out too much. The Pro Breeze PB-02 is not suitable for use as a whole home dehumidifier. It’s great for removing moisture in small areas, such as in boats, caravans, university accommodation, wardrobes or single rooms, but it doesn’t have the extraction capacity for dehumidifying larger volumes of air.This dehumidifier is extremely effective at preventing water condensation on windows and walls, eliminating mould and restoring healthy humidity levels in the home. It is capable of extracting up to 12 litres of humidity in rooms of up to 35 m2 and stores it in a 2-litre water tank, which you can easily empty or connect a hose (included) for continuous drainage, avoiding having to empty the tank every time it fills up. In addition, its automatic shut-off function when the tank is full makes it a very safe appliance. No. This Pro Breeze dehumidifier is equipped with a removable filter that simply prevents dust from entering the appliance and is therefore only used for cleaning. The Hangsun DL12 uses compressor dehumidification technology, so not only does it perform very well at reducing critical humidity levels, but it also has an automatic defrost condenser, is quiet and uses 25-60% less energy than other units. Automatic Humidity Sensor: The built-in humidity sensor allows you to set your desired room humidity between 30%-80%. Once this level is reached, the unit will turn off to conserve energy.
