We’re all looking for ways to cut our energy costs, and we understand the thought of ANOTHER electrical appliance might make you worry about the running costs, however, this one costs just 13p per hour to run with an auto shut-off to save every even further. 

One reviewer said: “This dehumidifier is compact and efficient and works well to help dry laundry, which is the main purpose I bought it for. The 2.5 litre tank is one of the largest for a machine of this capacity. It is relatively quiet, but that's not important to me because I only use it to dry laundry in a spare room. I probably wouldn't like to try and sleep with it in the same room though so if you're looking for near silence this isn't the unit for you.”

If space is limited in your home, then you’ll want a dehumidifier that takes up as little room as possible, and measuring 13 x 29 x 18cm, this is just that. It’s designed to extract up to 1.3-litres of water each day from the room, making it not only ideal for smaller homes but motorhomes and caravans too if you’re heading out on a staycation this season. 

One reviewer said: “Even though this a small compact dehumidifier it works very well. Draws water out of the room, the air feels much fresher, it barely makes any noise at all and so compact it can be placed almost anywhere. The bedroom window had terrible condensation but after a couple of days with this the window is now completely clear. For such a small price it’s made a huge difference to the condensation in the bedroom.”

If you’re on a tight budget or you’re saving up for a bigger dehumidifier, these mini budget dehumidifiers will cover you for the time being. Acting as an air freshener and dehumidifier in one, these come in a pack of four and work for smaller rooms such as a utility room and even cars and absorb up to 3 times its own weight in water. 

One reviewer said: “Use these every year and really do help with condensation.”

One reviewer said: “Had this dehumidifier for a year now, and it is really great. We use it constantly in the colder months and now don't have any issues with condensation on windows, and helps with drying washing. It also doubles up as a white noise machine at night! Easy to move around as it has wheels. If you need to lift it and carry it about make sure you empty the water first as it may spill a little.”
