Protect against damp, mould & condensation in your home.
Any home can benefit from a dehumidifier, and if you’re looking for a new dehumidifier, this handy guide aims to help you find the best dehumidifier for your purpose and budget.
Daily tasks such as cooking, showering/bathing and drying laundry all have an impact on the humidity level of your home. In the colder months, moisture naturally condenses onto walls, windows and inside your cupboards, leading to damp areas.
Dehumidifiers help to remove excess moisture in the air to combat dampness, mould and condensation. They also help to reduce allergens and clean the air, creating a healthier and more comfortable environment for you and your family.
Some dehumidifiers feature a 'Laundry mode' that can significantly reduce the drying time of damp laundry indoors. This clever little feature also benefits your energy bills, as it's more efficient to use a dehumidifier for drying clothes than it is to use a tumble dryer or central heating alone.
Enjoy complete control over humidity - a humidistat checks the moisture level in the air so your dehumidifier can match your desired level.
Monitor, schedule and control your dehumidifier remotely using an app on your smartphone or tablet. You can even control it with voice commands through Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.
When the tank is full, some models automatically shut down to prevent overflowing.
Carbon and HEPA filters capture contaminants like dust, dust mites, mould spores and bacteria to control or relieve allergies and irritations.
If you wish to run a device continually, you’ll benefit from a built-in hose as this is more convenient than manually emptying the tank.
This is the most common type of dehumidifier used in the home and is perfect for warmer environments above 10-15°C. Compressor dehumidifiers, also known as refrigerant dehumidifiers, work by drawing humid air over a refrigerated coil using a built-in fan. The cold coil condenses the moisture in the air, turning it into water that is collected in a tank.
Desiccant dehumidifiers excel in colder climates or temperatures below 20°C, where compressor dehumidifiers may be less efficient. They work by using a desiccant material that naturally and quickly absorbs moisture directly from the air, a bit like a sponge. Choose a desiccant dehumidifier for your conservatory, cellar, garage, caravan or boat.
Tailored for large-scale applications, these powerful heavy-duty dehumidifiers are ideal for large offices, gyms and warehouses, where excessive moisture could damage infrastructure or goods. Commercial or industrial dehumidifiers are commonly used in flood restoration to accelerate the drying process and prevent further damage.

Control and schedule your smart dehumidifier remotely using an app from your phone, tablet or Alexa/Google Assistant. Smart devices offer convenience and potential cost savings by allowing you to manage your unit even when you're not at home.
Designed with energy efficiency in mind; low-energy dehumidifiers utilise advanced technology such as smart sensors and programmable settings to minimise energy consumption without sacrificing performance. Not only are your bills reduced, but you’re also contributing to the environment by reducing carbon emissions. They make a good investment for the home or commercial settings.
Busy households may want to opt for a dehumidifier for drying clothes or 'laundry mode’. These settings reduce the drying time of damp laundry by absorbing moisture, which is then blown back out at a warm temperature on a high fan speed whilst maintaining optimal humidity.
