Question from Karen: Asked on 14/11/2025 Does this automatically switch off when the water tank is full?
Hi Karen,Yes, the electriQ CD20LE Dehumidifier features an automatic shut-off function when the water tank becomes full. When the tank reaches its maximum capacity, the dehumidifier will automatically turn off to prevent overflow. Additionally, it has a full tank indicator light to notify you when the tank needs to be emptied. You can either manually empty the tank or connect a continuous drainage option if you prefer not to have to empty it regularly.Thanks!
Question from Emily: Asked on 10/11/2025 Hi, what jepa and charcoal filters are compatible with this? The filters you have tend to say they are compatible with CD20LE -v2, -v3, -v4, or -v5, would these work?
Hi Emily,For your ElectriQ Premium 20L Low-Energy Quiet Laundry Dehumidifier (CD20LE), only filters explicitly listed as compatible with your model—such as the HEPA-CDLEX and Active Carbon ACFIL-CDLEX filters for CD20LE-V4—are guaranteed to fit and perform correctly. Filters labeled for CD20LE-V2, -V3, or -V5 might physically fit, but compatibility isn’t assured, and using them could reduce efficiency or cause airflow issues. To ensure proper operation, it’s best to use the official ElectriQ HEPA and carbon filters designed for your specific version.Thanks!
Question from Roger: Asked on 31/10/2025 Are the filters washable, if not how long do they last?
Hi Roger,The Electriq CD20LE dehumidifier has a washable mesh filter that can be vacuumed regularly and, if heavily soiled, washed with hot soapy water and thoroughly dried before reinserting. Optional filters, such as carbon or HEPA filters, are not washable and should be replaced every 3–6 months.Thanks!
Question from M: Asked on 17/10/2025 Does this have an anti-bacterial function to prevent mould growing in the tank?

Hi Penny,
Thanks for getting in touch
You'll need to empty this a bit more in laundry mode, but it depends how wet your clothes are.

Question from Lisa Iggo: Asked on 24/01/2021 How much does it cost to run daily?
Question from Rachel: Asked on 30/12/2015 I am looking for a dehumidifier to replace an old one that I run on a timer in my cellar 24-7. Because it runs so much I really want a low energy one. It doesn't have to be fancy or attractive as behind a closed door. Main criteria - efficient, low cost and low energy, auto cut off when tank full. What would you recommend? Thanks
