About this deal

Energy efficient: Our energy-efficient dehumidifier has been designed to automatically shut off once it has reached your desired humidity level. Smart and Portable】Easily move the dehumidifier with 360-degree caster wheels and a big handle.The dehumidifier for bedroom is endowed with a 118m³/H high-efficiency air circulation & dehumidification to dry out the indoor air and make it comfortable for the whole wet season, It's the ideal companion for your home with net weight of 11.4 kg For comparison, at current energy costs, the 12L MeacoDry Arete One Dehumidifier uses around 4p of electricity per hour, and the Pro Breeze 12L Low Energy dehumidifier uses roughly 6p per hour. Not a massive difference in running costs, but worth bearing in mind before you snap up this dehumidifier purely based on its low energy claims. Noise levels

What can we see from the table? We can see that refrigerant dehumidifiers typically use less energy than desiccant types. It is important to factor this difference in when choosing which type. There are some very important caveats on the refrigerant vs desiccant question, however:However, considering its weight, I found the handle felt quite flimsy. I didn't entirely trust it would support the weight of the dehumidifier if carried by this alone. Select a dehumidifier that is appropriately sized for your space. Using a unit that is too small will cause it to work harder and potentially use more energy, while a too-large unit will use more power than necessary. Digital Control Panel: LED lights display current room humidity level and the easy-to-use control panel ensures simple control of dehumidifier power and auto-off timer.

Whilst this dehumidifier doesn't offer a specific laundry drying function, we still found it helpful at drying wet washing, although it took longer to do so than the MeacoDry Arete One Dehumidifier or Pro Breeze 20L Premium Dehumidifier with Special Laundry Mode which both offer a speedy dedicated laundry-drying boost mode. Despite its compact size, this dehumidifier is also heavy. And noisy. We also didn’t find it that much help with drying clothes, although it did a good job of managing general damp and reducing condensation and mould on windows and walls. All that said, the Russell Hobbs RHDH2002 20L dehumidifier still impressed our review team during testing. So, if you’re looking for a powerful dehumidifier with a cheaper upfront cost, the Russell Hobbs RHDH2002 20L is well worth considering.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. For homes that are exposed to lower temperatures, you can feel confident that this dehumidifier is up for the challenge with the ability to operate between 1 and 40ºC. Furthermore, the desiccant technology keeps operating noise to nothing more than a whisper even in colder environments as low as 1ºC. Suitability - Unlike most dehumidifiers which work best between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius, the Pro Breeze 10L Desiccant Dehumidifier works between 1 and 40 degrees Celsius. It's therefore perfect for winters and colder environments. It works wonders on preventing condensation. It can be used in damp homes, basements, garages, bedrooms, wardrobes and kitchens, to name a few. It's fair to say that most dehumidifiers aren't the most stylish of appliances, which is why the De'Longhi Tascuigo AriaDry Multi Dehumidifier is something of a breath of fresh air amidst the usual boxy white plastic designs.

Costs as little as 18 p/hour to run: Our energy-efficient dehumidifier has been designed to automatically shut off once it has reached your desired humidity level.To help with this, the Pro Breeze 12L Low Energy Dehumidifier benefits from 'storage' mode. To activate, just press and hold the sleep mode button for three seconds. This will cause the dehumidifier to stop collecting water and run the fan on high speed for around 30 minutes, followed by another 20 minutes at low speed. This process dries the dehumidifier out so you can safely store it away. 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. Of course, with the cost of living and climate crisis, it's important to take into account the energy usage of any home appliance, and you'll likely be wondering how much a dehumidifier costs to run. If you want a dehumidifier of a similar power and price point, the slightly more expensive ProBreeze 1500ml Mini Dehumidifier remains our best budget buy, offering a better extraction rate of 0.5L and a larger 1.5L water tank, which means you won’t be emptying it quite so frequently. That said, the ProBreeze 1500ml Mini Dehumidifier is also larger in size, measuring H30 x W22 x D16cm compared to the Russell Hobbs' H22 x W14 x D14cm frame. And, the ProBreeze 1500ml is twice the weight, weighing in at 1.85kg. In practice, the Pro Breeze 12L Low Energy dehumidifier uses an average of 220W to operate. This is far less than the 440W the Pro Breeze 20L Premium Dehumidifier with Special Laundry Modeuses, but still far higher than the comparable MeacoDry Arete One 12L Dehumidifier which uses on average just 151W.

Reduce Clothing Drying Time: A great way to absorb moisture in the air when drying your clothes—offering a reliable & cost-effective boost to all your laundry-drying needs. Running costs vary depending on the size, make and model of dehumidifier you opt for. However, the Pro Breeze 12L Low Energy dehumidifier is specifically marketed as a low energy use dehumidifier, so energy costs should be low. There are three operating modes to choose from –automatic, continuous, or sleep –and two fan speeds. Plus a storage mode and 24 hour timer. A desiccant dehumidifier differs in that it uses an absorbent material or chemical dessicant to extract moisture from the air. 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. However, they're usually more expensive both upfront and in terms of running costs than a compressor dehumidifier, so unless you're looking to remove damp at cold temperatures you're generally best off with a compressor model.

Specification

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.
