Product Information

They can also offer an eco-friendly alternative to a tumble drier, as they help dry your laundry faster by sucking the water out of your wet clothes, without releasing the moisture back into the room. I have a small bathroom with a shower, and it dries the bathroom in under 20 minutes after the shower.

This isn’t the quietest machine on our list, but the noise isn’t too distracting, so you could have it running in another room without it bothering you too much. This quibble aside, our tester appreciated that the machine clearly displayed the temperature and humidity of the room, a key feature that many models often miss. If you often wake up on a cold winter morning with condensation on your windows, then a dehumidifier is a worthy investment. It's also compact and easy to move around, so when I have a shower late in the evening it helps everything dry out.

The continuous mode is optimal for drying clothes, while the sleep mode operates at a noise level of just 38 decibels, quieter than a typical library. This Ecoair model proved a great option for any family home, collecting over 800ml of moisture from the air in our tests in just two hours. While it’s not loud enough to really disturb the peace, it’s certainly not one you’d want to leave running overnight in your bedroom. It’s fairly lightweight (under 7kg without water) and the handle allowed for fuss-free transportation between rooms.

You can judge this by square metres, with most dehumidifiers sold alongside a specification of the size of the room they are most suited to.

This unit will work well in small properties with around three bedrooms, as it has a powerful extraction rate. I’ve just left a 14l bucket underneath and attached the hose to collect the water, the bucket needs emptying around once every five days. Despite its small size, it can collect up to 500ml of water – ideal for small spaces, such as kitchens, bathrooms or even in damp spots such as under the stairs.
