This dehumidifier can extract up to 20l of water in a 24-hour period, making it ideal for homes with severe humidity issues. Its generous 4l tank means less frequent emptying and an auto-shut-off feature prevents overflow. A handy window on the tank enables you to monitor water levels easily, however, while the tank has a handle for easier carrying when emptying, removing the lid can be a bit fiddly, as it slots over the handle. The unit features a self-cleaning function, ensuring mould and bacteria are not only removed from the air but also kept at bay within the device itself.
Finding your ideal humidity levels is easy – you can set the desired humidity level between 40 to 90 per cent manually or use the auto setting to stabilise humidity, without the guesswork. We love that this dehumidifier can be operated via a smart app or the control panel on top of the machine and, either way, it is easy and intuitive to use.
The appliance includes a carbon fibre filter to help reduce odours, which proved especially useful when testing in the kitchen after cooking and in the bedroom, leaving the air noticeably fresher. The unit is quite noisy, so, you might not want to run it in the same room where you’re relaxing. However, its sleek, white design means it will blend seamlessly into any room.
If you have pools of water around your windows in the mornings, the Blyss curve moisture trap can help. This reusable dehumidifier doesn’t run on any electricity, so, you can place it where you like, and it will still collect a lot of moisture from the air.
