Blyss 16L Dehumidifier - £100 @ B&Q

Most recent review below. Thanks OP, but I think I'll look again at other manufacturers.

I regret buying this
I purchased this some time ago. First the positives: it removes water from the air. Since this is its purpose it’s a good start!

Now the not so good: you can’t start it with a smart plug since it needs a button pushing. The “timer” is only to turn it off in 1/2/3 hours etc so you can’t have it come on in off peak, and it uses a decent bit of electric. Worse, it randomly shoots out quite large amounts of water from underneath. It does this totally at random - regardless of whether it’s almost full, recently emptied, etc - and nothing I’ve done has managed to stop this. Lastly its’ humidity reading can be somewhat odd. I’ve put it in the shower room after my teenager has been in there for an hour. Steam billows out, water dripping down the walls. Apparently it’s only 50% humidity so it won’t turn on automatically and I have to fiddle with the override. I have another thermometer/hygrometer in there that’s reading 90% or higher but not the dehumidifier.

Personally I’d say try a different brand. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to clean up the puddle its just left on the floor

Great dehumidifier for normal household use. Make sure you keep the back filter clean. I disassemble and clean out the heat exchanger on mine every summer, but I am a massive geek, not really needed.

We put ours on the upstairs landing, and have a pulley clothes drying rack hung on the ceiling above. We dry clothes there during the day (by closing all the doors and hot boxing it, and use it at evening/night to keep a handle on moisture from bathing and sleeping.

We put ours on top of a small set of drawers, makes it much easier to pull out and empty the water tub.

If it broke, I'd buy the same model again. (edited)

Just ordered one, thanks. These are great for drying clothes. One thing to note, generally it takes less time to heat your home if the moisture levels are lower = lower gas bill. Yes I know you use electricity to run this thing but in general it pays for itself. (edited)

I bought this last night and already drying my second load of washing! Thanks so much

I bought one of these on eBay, refurbished and ever so slightly cheaper. I would say the noise and filter cleans are worth the improvement in 'heat feel' for my property, and certainly a saving for my economy 7 heated home; 7kWh avoided to date. Overall, a great device to run most of the day (in different rooms). It will even dry laundry and your dishes as you heat and dry your home. I'm very happy so far with this make and model, but you shouldn't expect to collect a tank in 2 hours. For me, its roughly 8-12 hours depending on if I've had a shower! It's all about savings at this time (of year)!

These are really good and much better looking than most others. Best used with a separate hygrometer. We turn this on overnight when indoor humidity gets above 60% and it helps to bring it back down. If you have a clothes horse out on a damp day then you can really see the humidity shoot up to high 60s which you really don't want so this will help manage that.

Looks pretty good for the money, I was looking at Ebacs etc, but they are £300, have ordered one to collect...

This review is good... (He did an unboxing one in a previous video...

The same model on Screwfix has plenty of reviews (can't post the link for whatever reason!).

The reviews seem decent enough!

Dehumidifiers are amazing. Ours dries laundry in 2-4 hours. Use one of the old style cloths airers that you can stand in a square around the dehumidifier then when all the clothes are hung toss a sheet/tablecloth over the lot. We got it when our tumble dryer broke down, so much cheaper to run. Also put it on a low setting in cool weather and house feels warm without needing to put the heating on.

this one uses around 230W/hour but is a 16L machine.Any thoughts on this?

Got one this afternoon and wasn't expecting much. Had on it on for couple of hours in my bedroom/living room and the I'm very surprised and happy at how much moisture it has picked up already. Mainly got this for the bathroom cos my bathroom gets so damp an mouldy in this weather even with the window open. Looking forward to how well it works in there lol.

Really happy with how it works. Although not only is the tank really small, but I ALWAYS spill some water when I try to take it out. Its quite stiff, with leakage following

Got three of this exact model. Excellent at what they do and generally quiet. Good price.

Dehumidifier deals are very rare so snap this up if you need one, good reviews.

I have 2 of these from screwfix and my house is dry and keeps at an ambient temperature because of these machines, especially when drying clothes and having showers on with all the family. They are amazing. Get one at this price it's a bargain (edited)

I have one of these (bought from Screwfix) and it's been fine at controlling the moisture in our conservatory with temps going down to the low teens - we're running this and not the 2KW Delonghi radiator due to cheapness. Works well though it's not the quietest machine, if you're after a compressor based quiet dehumidifier I would go for the Meaco low energy range.
