NETTA 20L/Day Low Energy Dehumidifier - Digital Control Panel, Continuous Drainage, Auto Restart, 24 Hour Timer, 6.5L Tank - For Damp, Mould Control, Laundry Drying

Product Information

This dehumidifier is designed for managing fairly low moisture levels in small rooms up to 15m² or 2200 cubic feet, so it isn't going to cope with major damp issues or be able to control humidity within an entire house like larger capacity dehumidifiers. That said, the ProBreeze 1500ml Mini dehumidifier still impressed us during testing, and as long as you don't expect too much of it, this mini dehumidifier has a lot of plus points, not least its affordability.

VARIOUS MODES AND DIGITAL CONTROL: This product comes with 2 fan-speed modes, an automatic restart, a 24-hour timer and an auto-defrost feature. It also includes continuous dehumidification and a continuous drain-overflow pipe. The digital control screen with adjustable humidity control allows you to adjust the desired humidity extraction between 30-80%.Dehumidifiers do not kill mould, but they help make it inert and stop it from spreading (the spores love humid air!). You need a dehumidifier to treat the underlying cause and a good mould killer to eliminate it completely. Here’s our guide to the best mould removers so you can clean it off any surface and stop it from regrowing. How do dehumidifiers work? Plus, the MeacoDry Arete One dehumidifier'sSmart Laundrymodeworks brilliantly for drying washing indoors – wet laundry was dry in hours rather than the days it can usually take in the draughty Victorian terrace we tested the unit in. Choosing an energy-efficient dehumidifier can save you a lot of money over time and this is a great reason to buy one. You might think ‘well why should I buy a more expensive dehumidifier?’ The answer is simple, a cheaper unit might look like a good choice on the surface, but in reality, it might cost you in the long run. Investing in a higher quality unit such as the Meaco 12L or 20L, Ansio 22L from the get-go might actually be a better investment. According to learnmetrics.com, a dehumidifier uses between 300 watts and 700 watts of energy per hour, depending on size and efficiency. That’s not much - more than your fridge but less than things like kettles and hair dryers. What's the best dehumidifier to buy?

To give you an idea of it's drying process, users report it helps dry king size bedding, 3 bath towels and 3 hand towels over night. Continuous-drain facility Many dehumidifiers allow you to connect a hose and flush the collected water away to a low-level drain. This will save you having to empty the water tank, or prevent the machine from getting full and switching off if you're not around to empty it. Note that dehumidifiers with this function often don’t come with a hose in the box, so you’ll probably have to buy it separately. Small, portable and whisper-quiet thanks to Peltier technology, you can keep this sleek-looking dehumidifier on your nightstand or dresser and let it run all night without you even noticing. Although, if you are light-sensitive, we suggest covering up the glowing light! Removing up to 300ml of water, the Silentnight Dehumidifier works all day and all night to improve your bedroom's humidity and simultaneously filter out allergens (perfect for those with hay fever!). Then when the light goes from green to orange, just empty the tank, and start it up again. It's simple, easy to use, and the best dehumidifier for your family's bedrooms! The EcoAir DD1 Simple MK3 Dehumidifier can extract up to 7.5 litres of moisture per day in cold temperatures as low as 1ºc, so it's a very useful option for conservatorys, basements or garages that don't have dedicated heating, as well as unheated rooms in the home during winter months. When I tested the laundry function on the Russell Hobbs 20L dehumidifier to dry t-shirts in a small bedroom, it definitely sped up the drying time' said our reviewer. 'The T-shirts closest to the dehumidifier dried in 3 hours, but those further away took aboutdouble that time to completely dry'. How we testDehumidifiers can use a lot of energy, especially if used inefficiently. The electricity required to power a dehumidifier can be generated from a mixture of burning fossil fuels, renewables, gas and nuclear. But as this is mixed up in the grid, you can’t guarantee it’s coming from a renewable energy source. It has a 12L per day extraction rate and only uses a tiny 160 watts (1kW in 5 hours)! You will struggle to find this type of performance anywhere else. We have previously done a full review of similar / competitive model in our Meaco review guide.

To find the best dehumidifier, there are many things you will need to take into consideration. Otherwise, you may end up with a device that isn’t suitable for your home or workplace. For example, too much moisture in the air can create the perfect breeding ground for all kinds of bacteria, while also causing dust mites, condensation, mold, and dampness - not to mention causing a number of health issues. Unlike a compressor dehumidifier that passes air over a cold coil to condense the water from it, a desiccant dehumidifier uses a 'desiccant chemical' to absorb the moisture from the air. As a result, desiccant dehumidifiers are the best option for rooms that are likely to fall below 15°c, as at lower temperatures compressor and Peltier models can struggle to work efficiently. As you would expect for this price point, it does come with a drainage hose. So you can "Set and forget" if you have a sink or drain for it to go into. After doing some research, we aren’t surprised. It offers insanely good value for the price. You will struggle to find a 12L dehumidifier at a better price!

However, it's not perfect. A powerful extraction rate of 20L, plus that Laundry boost mode, means higher running costs. This dehumidifier guzzles 440W of energy compared to the 20L MeacoDry Arete One's 216W. What the Pro Breeze 20L Premium does offer is a more generous water tank of 5.5L compared to the 20L MeacoDry Arete One's 4.8L, although in practice we didn't find ourselves emptying the MeacoDry that much more frequently. Features: Do you want a standard device that simply lowers the humidity or are you looking for a better dehumidifier that comes with handy features such as a humidistat, time, or frost watch?
