Product Information

All in all I am pleased with the unit despite a small tank capacity, though it does have the ability to run a drain hose (supplied) to an external drain. Not one to shrink into the background, the bright yellow and black design is probably more suited to commercial settings, but this dehumidifier can still be used in a residential property.

I can select an interval of 1 to 12 h of operation followed by an interval of 1 to 12 h pause, so the only 24 h pattern is 12 h on, 12 h off. This DeLonghi is the best dehumidifier for drying clothes, thanks to its designated laundry drying function, accessible by pressing the button on the far left hand side. You can fine-tune these by setting the fan speed and desired humidity level (you’ll want it under 50 percent, see below).That will be especially useful over the winter months as it means you won’t have to keep your heating on as long to dry your clothes, reducing your energy bills in the process,” says Chris Wood from Aircon Direct. When it’s in this automatic mode, the noise varies between 37dB (fine) and 46dB (pretty loud) so I set the timer to switch it off at 10:30pm every night, so it didn’t bother me as I drifted off.

It isn’t a light machine, weighing around 15kg, but it does have castors, so pushing it from room to room isn’t an issue. This one does not have an air filtration function, so families with allergies will be better off with one of the other dehumidifiers.

While the power of 290 Watts means it only costs around 8p per hour, there are still lower energy options on this list that anyone with a smaller house or flat should consider.
