Update 1
Updated

In this thread we have rounded up some of the best deals and offers for various dehumidifiers in one place, so that the information is more easily accessible. Included are reductions on compressor and desiccant models in both small and large capacities, suitable for different sized homes.

We will update this as and when new offers become available and if there are any you happen to come across yourself, feel free to pop them into the comments below.



Compressor Dehumidifiers
These work by having a cold surface for warm, damp air to move across. When the warmer air meets the cool surface, condensation forms, and the water is removed.

Desiccant Dehumidifiers
This type does not rely on a cold surface, meaning they’re more effective in all temperatures. They use a desiccant wheel that absorbs the moisture from the air, which is then regenerated by an internal heater and fan.

    Highly recommend a good Dehumidifier for drying clothes during the winter. really does speed up the process and I don't get any sort of musty smell from clothes drying for several days like I did sometimes before. My electric airier has turned into a normal airer now I have one. And would use one over the heated airer any day.

    Can't comment on any of the above but the one I have, a large 30L one is great.
    dawyldthing's avatar
    Same here, plus cleaned my carpet with the carpet cleaner and normally front room smells for a bit after due to not enough water being removed but left it in the front room a few days and had heating on too and doesn’t smell at all as took all the excess water away. Think I’ve had ours 2 years now and it’s fab

    Game changer for drying your clothes. However, if you can wait, I think the (off) season for buying dehumidifiers is summer. Now is the time to be looking for bargain air-conditioners/ice machines/fans etc

    For example, I got the 10L Lexent for £75 in July last year.
    clavier3895's avatar
    any good links for bargain air conditioners or fans?

    We bought the Woods 25L MDK26 (Costco Hot Buy at £240 mentioned), approx a year or so ago and find it's REALLY excellent for drying clothes, especially if hung on a Pulleymaid airer. It has a laundry mode, the exhaust is on top blowing air warmed slightly by dehumidifying process. The exhaust on top has an oscillating function and there's a 1, 2, 4, 8 hour timer.
    EDIT: I have added a picture of the top showing the exhaust and oscillating fin that closes when switched off.

    I borrowed a friends dehum the other day a Russel Hobbs 20L, to try drying some clothes, wasn't too impressed, most where still damp in the morning.

    Some dehumidifiers might be better than others, the key is small room and door closed. Mine is a Meaco 12L if it helps.

    52060905-oLbkc.jpgI have the aldi one at £89.99, its brilliant, not getting condensation at all and washing ia drying in a couple hours, it says on website that it runs around 6p/hr ive watched the smart meter and at full pelt it works around 4p/hr

    Got the Meaco Artete 20 litre a few months ago. It is very good, quiet and a lot more energy efficient that most other machines. Best of all it has a 5 year warranty as standard.

    I got one too. No complaints from me. Recommend

    For any application where the ambient room temperature is likely to fall below 15 degrees Celsius, a desiccant
    dehumidifier is recommended

    ecoair.org/pages/desiccant-vs-compressor-dehumidifiers

    Ambient Temperature - Desiccant dehumidifiers work well in ambient temperature range between 1 to 40 degrees Celsius. Compressor dehumidifiers only work well between 16 to 40 degree Celsius.

    Posted that previously.

    A compressor type dehumidifier is a waste of time, and electricity, in our use.
    A desiccant type being way more capable and efficient, for us.

    Often the compressor type would be on a defrost cycle. (edited)
    LadyEleanor's avatar
    The Ebac compressor models work down to 3C.
    They recommend you only buy a desiccant if temperatures are regularly below this.

    Owning both types is an option though if you have extremely cold unheated areas.

    Just in case it helps anyone; I went for the Inventor EVA ION PRO WiFi at £169.99 on Amazon.
    I've had it for a couple of months and I'm really pleased with it. Customer Service was exceptional when I asked a question about setting up WiFi and the app.
    In terms of cost, I had it on the Clothes Dry setting from 16:00 to 21:30 yesterday and the cost was £0.36 based on a unit rate of 0.284.

    I've noticed some have a laundry mode function. How is this different to those which don't have this feature? They all remove humidity anyway so what are the added benefits?
    navo5's avatar
    Really no difference. When laundry mode is selected, all it does is make the dehumidifier work on full power making it extract as much moisture as possible and it automatically switches off after 6 hours, depending on the model.

    Those without a laundry mode will still have the pre-set humidity level settings plus a Continuous Mode setting.
    All you have to do to dry Laundry, is set it to Continuous Mode and it will work on full power without turning off, until you turn it off. Some brands may have a switch off timer you can set. Or you can also just set humidity pre-set to lowest setting and it will still begin to dry clothes.
    I think it’s just clever marketing to use the word Laundry drying mode etc, which will attract more people to buy a dehumidifier, when Continuous Mode is virtually the same thing. (edited)

    Reading the comments, are these products made to dry clothes?

    Im just wondering if I can recommend to my customers who use radiators to dry clothes then complain the rooms not heating up.
    alferone's avatar
    They're designed to remove water from the air. Drying clothes indoors puts water into the air. They subsequently reduce the moisture content of everything indoors including clothes.

    Good for stopping mould problems in houses. People dry clothes indoors then complain about mould, because they have increased the humidity to levels that mould loves by drying clothes indoors.

    I had a Meaco 18l
    It was fantastic, but malfunctioned

    I was lucky and got it from Costco.
    They have a great warranty policy

    The Wood's 25l on deal at £239.
    So got one

    Bit of an unfamiliar brand to myself and not that well reviewed online, compared to the Meaco brand.

    The fan is so powerful, that we only use the Low setting.
    Drys clothes much faster than the Meaco.
    Slower Tank size, maybe half the size.
    Same width and height but slimmer than the Meaco.

    I have to recommend the Wood's as a fabulous unit..
    I'm well impressed
    Frostie5's avatar
    Is it loud ?
  14. WhichWord's avatar
    I have several De’Longi dehumidifiers…
    I went for them because they are pretty much silent in use.
    they are so good, my mother got one for her house too.

    Dehumidifiers remove the hydrogen from the room, which in turn allows the heat (waves) to bounce further off the walls, and thus makes it much easier to retain heat and to do so quickly too. (edited)

    hi i have a meaco arete 12l and loving it. however to dry my laundry i need 12hours plus instead of 6hours. the temperature in my room is 18 celsius. is that normal, any tips on improvement of drying time please?
    whatsthematter's avatar
    Spread washing out, allow airflow to both sides of garment. Turn garments over half way through, and turn rack around or move dehumidifier to other side. Dry in smallest room possible with door closed, so it's not trying to dry the whole house.
  19. osmaniac's avatar
    I have frustrating mold issues at our house, I had to buy 2 Meaco arete one 12L, and they are running 18~ish hours per day keeping both floors at a humidity level of 55% . I do not know if it is because of them or if the mold attack is gone but it seems mould is not coming now

    Do dehumidifiers ever need re gassing? Like air con. I have one and seems to have lost its effectiveness over time
    Zop's avatar
    Heat pumps, or your car air conditioning have ports for adding or removing gas. But dehumidifiers and fridges are hermetically sealed. There is no way of regassing it

    That’s what I found when I googled it.
  21. chrisgeller's avatar
    What's the cheapest one of these to dry clothes? Is it best to put it inside some sort of covered clothes horse? What's the typical cost?
    wjw's avatar
    I tried many dehumidifiers over the years. The best one to dry clothes very quick is Wood. I keep it in low setting overnight, and in the morning our full wash is dry. We put it sideway under the edge of the clothes hanger . That away the air is pushed under the clothes and circulate again to the back of the dehumidifier. It dry the clothes in about 4 to 8 hours (depending on the amount of your wash). Cost is about 6p to 8p per hour.

    Others I used took long time to dry clothes and I kept them running for long hours or days.

    Also, Meacow is great for bedrooms to get rid of moisture but I didn't find it quick to dry clothes as Wood.
  22. tuneap's avatar
    Great mega thread! I have a question, which I couldn’t see an answer: where would the best place to put the de-humidifier? I have a 1930’s house, I generally dry clothes downstairs and get some mould around the tops of the windows upstairs. If I got one, would it be best to place it upstairs? Thanks in advance!
    alferone's avatar
    I have some Govee Thermo-Hygrometers and dotted around my house, I can download the data from them by Bluetooth. It helps me identify areas of my house where relative humidity is too high and where I should place a dehumidifier.

    Govee and Switchbot are two good makes of cheap thermo-hygrometers on Amazon.

    I have two dehumidifiers in the house, one 12 litre Meaco one downstairs in the laundry room and 20 litre Meaco one in an upstairs bedroom. That keeps humidity under control in the whole house and I know this because I monitor it with the hygrometers.

    We have a condensing tumble dryer that puts a lot of humidity into the air so need to run a dehumidifier near it to remove that moisture from the air. Without running a dehumidifier the relative humidity in the laundry was going above 90% sometimes.

    Vented tumble driers have gone out of fashion but they were better because they put almost all the moisture from the clothes outside. Heat pump and condensing tumble dryers put a lot of moisture into the air inside houses.

    Some people who change from a vented tumble dryer to a condensing or heat pump one suddenly have mould problems because of this. Need a dehumidifier to combat it or improve ventilation to the laundry which might be difficult depending on house design. (edited)

    I've had a desiccant dehumidifier for over 5 years now.
    Not very efficient as consumes bit more energy but did heat the room a bit too.
    Can't live without one
  24. Ross81's avatar
    I've got the 12L ElectriQ. Had it over a year. Does a great job with the washing and generally.
  25. UserRNaaamE's avatar
    2 Questions.
    1) For the people buying this to dry clothes, is there a specific reason for using this over a heat pump drying machine?

    2) For those people buying because they have damp/humidity in their house, is there a specific reason for using this over a simple PIV system?
    tomoliver2089's avatar
    Both are a choice.

    Heat pump dryers spit out a lot of humid air. You basically need to vent the air that comes into the room from it outside, or use a dehumidifier afterwards.

    Dehumidifiers in rooms used for drying don't.

    PIV systems are not a one size fits all solution, a reasonable proportion of houses are unsuitable for them without further work, open chimneys or anywhere with rooms with uneven airtightness. You still have to heat the air that's ventilated by the PIV.

    Furthermore, when you consider this is a device you plug in and turn on, the PIV is the comparatively automatic, but not simple, system.
  26. jasyk's avatar
    I would stay away from the electriq brand. I bought a smart dehumidifier at £279 and packed in just after one year. I contacted them to see if I could pay for getting it repaired as it was out of warranty (just). They said they didn't do repairs. I took it apart and it was the control board that had failed. I asked if I could buy a replacement control board and they say that they don't do spare parts either. They finished by saying that due to it being out of warranty they could no longer help me.

    I would recommend ecoair ones. I have had an ecoair for over 6 years without any issues. (edited)
    L33TL33's avatar
    Not sure if it’ll help, but there’s some sort of consumer rights act stating that products should last for a “reasonable” amount of time. If this was recent I’d Google the exact name of the act and try throwing it into an email to them. If you spend almost £300 on an item then just over a year isn’t a reasonable amount of time for it to last. Have you also tried contacting the store you bought it from too? Could say the same thing to them and see who bites first

    I'd get the Daewoo 16 (Very good ratings by Which, better than Meaco Areto). Very nice touch screen design too. I also have the electriq one mentioned in this post, which is very loud, would not recommend

    When I was looking into getting a desiccant dehumidifier 3 or 4 years back, it seemed to be the overwhelming majority were made by just a couple of Chinese companies; NORM Pacific Automation Corp and You Long Electrical Industry Co.

    The significance of that discovery was that both the big trusted brands and lesser known brands were all being made by the same manufacturer. Same specs & performance ~ but different casings.

    Nb. Recently compared the performance of a Probreeze 7.8l desiccant vs. a 20l compressor ~ ran them side by side for 6 hours in a damp/chilly bedroom:

    The Compressor extracted 0.9l.

    The desiccant extracted 1.95l.

    Crack all your windows until the lock on the 2nd lock setting ,this leaves a gap for airflow ....the air flow will be unreal round the house ...watch the issues go away , it's the stale moist air causes the issues ..I also have dehumidifier in back room in winter for drying clothes +another just outside bathroom upstairs when shower is on ....also just got air tiles fitted to the roof allowing airflow in loft as well..I have 12ltr electriq & 12ltr blyss dehumidifiers.
    jefster's avatar
    So in a window where it shuts you see the metal bracket inside it has 2 cut outs , this is where u usually shut window tight then as you lock window the little medal tabs fold out and click into the guides (like a door secures) but it has 2 slots use the furthest slot(about another 1.5cm) then secure your window so it's still locked but now you've a long air gap to get that air circulation ...that's what it's there for ..

    My meaco dd8l 6Yr old is giving off a nasty smell, I wouldn't say burning but more like a refrigerant smell. Anyone had issues like this before
    Newbold's avatar
    This is from the manual:

    My desiccant dehumidifier smells

    When you first use the dehumidifier and periodically afterwards you might notice a smell coming from the dehumidifier. This is caused by the Zeolite desiccant material and is not a sign that the dehumidifier is faulty, nor is it harmful to humans or pets. The smell occurs because the Zeolite absorbs odours from items like cigarettes, cosmetics, hair sprays, building materials and new furniture and then when the desiccant is heated the smell is discharged into the room. This smell has been described as being like a burning smell or a sour smell. It is normal, will not last long and is not a sign of a fault. If you prefer you can put the dehumidifier in the garage and run it on Laundry mode there to get rid of the smell outside of the house.

    blog.meaco.com/faq…rs/

    Maybe ring Meaco to double-check, but there's no refrigerant in the DD8L - just the Zeolite desiccant.

    Bought challenge 12L for £165 from Argos yesterday without much price checking for competitors.

    this works a treat and we had one upstairs already, i was just sick of moving it around when needed downstairs.

    It’s not that quiet, but works a charm and gets the bathroom post shower to 50 in less than an hour.

    Agree, got the 25L Meaco Arete One. Game changer compared to my old Bac unit. Love that it's got a built in air purifier as well. Definitely noticed a huge difference in air quality as soon as I bought mine. Running 3 years strong now and still going!
