Costs as little as 12p/hour to run: Using an energy-efficient compressor, it removes up to 20 litres of water daily with low power consumption.

However, 12L and 20L dehumidifiers tend to be the most popular options, so which might be the right size for you? It's the best time of year to buy a dehumidifier and, if you've owned one before, the benefits are obvious.Another benefit is that a good dehumidifier will filter dust and allergens out of the air, which would be great for asthmatics or people who suffer from other respiratory complications. A 12L dehumidifier is probably a good option for a "house with up to three bedrooms, that is only slightly damp, with light mould and condensation, and a relative humidifier of between 50-60%." The physical size of a dehumidifier does matter," says Chris. "A 10L or 12L dehumidifier is smaller, more compact, quieter, and lighter. They can more easily be moved from room to room." Meaning a small model is most likely the best dehumidifier for a bedroom.

The moisture level and temperature inside your home also affect the size and type of dehumidifier you need," Brian reveals. "If there’s a high moisture level in your house or flat, then you’ll need a bigger size model, as there’ll be more water to take out of the air." This Vonhause dehumidifier is the perfect option for smaller homes and tight storage space. It's lightweight, easy to maneuver, and has an automatic turn-off feature that comes in handy when its 2L tank has reached capacity. Is it better to undersize or oversize a dehumidifier? In fact, Michael even explains that particularly damp properties should probably oversize their dehumidifier, anyway. "In the event of the property having high moisture levels, perhaps from a damp problem, drying washing indoors and from its occupants, it is best to buy a 'one size up' more powerful dehumidifier. For larger properties in these conditions, it may even be worth considering a second dehumidifier." Put simply, larger models will do a better job at dealing with the amounts of moisture in larger homes, and homes with higher moisture levels (or both) – while smaller models are better for smaller properties, and those with lower moisture levels. Automated Humidity Detection: A smart humidity sensor, featuring LED indicators, constantly observes the moisture levels within a room and automatically powers down the dehumidifier once the desired humidity level is achieved.

Discover a versatile solution: a dehumidifier equipped with five modes, including auto humidity control, sleep and fan modes, and a high-capacity compressor capable of removing 20 litres of moisture daily. Ideal for large, damp rooms, it also includes a laundry mode, a digital LED screen, intelligent indicators, an oscillating louvre for uniform air distribution, and a removable carbon filter to promote a healthier environment. It's important to buy a dehumidifier that's up to its task. If you have large rooms with high ceilings, you'll need a fairly beefy one. Whereas if it's just for clearing up the air in an office, or small utility room, you can get away with a cheaper version.

Take note of the moisture levels There are lots of different sizes of dehumidifiers, with some models having a capacity of as low as 700ml, and others being able to get rid of up to 25L of water per day, as mentioned.However, for those with very damp, larger properties with up to three bedrooms, a bigger 20L dehumidifier should be used. This applies to homes with a "70-80% relative humidity, that are always cold, have lots of people in them, and have washing drying in them regularly," Chris says. Special Laundry Mode: Reduce the drying time of damp laundry indoors by absorbing moisture in the air from wet clothes. Using the latest technology, it's capable of extracting up to 600% more water than similar-sized dehumidifiers. One of the biggest contributors to moisture levels in a home is people and the daily things we all do. So think about how often you are adding to the home's moisture levels to determine the size of dehumidifier you need. He also suggests that, whatever size your home is, if you have a moderately damp property – "with 60-70% relative humidity, musty smells, and regular mould and condensation." A 12L dehumidifier is also likely to be satisfactory.
