This means they can operate efficiently in lower temperatures, down to just 1°C, and are useful for garages, basements, conservatorys, or unheated rooms in the house over winter. It also has a special laundry mode, so, if you’re drying your clothes indoors all winter and don’t want to use the tumble dryer, it’s the perfect solution. Not much louder than a whisper (30dB), it has castor wheels to roll it from spot to spot throughout your home. The tablet uses activated crystals and anti-odour agents to absorb moisture and neutralise foul odours simultaneously. The only downside is that they tend to release warm air into a room, which you may not want in an already-heated home.

and as it can take up to 10l of excess moisture out of the air daily, you shouldn’t have to constantly empty the tank unless your space is suffering from high humidity.Like compressor dehumidifiers, Peltier dehumidifiers also use a condensation process to remove moisture from the air.

The 600ml water tank is the right size for the amount of water that’s extracted and means it won’t have to be emptied often. It can take up to 350ml of water out of the air per day and its 600ml tank means you won’t be constantly emptying it. A serious consequence of damp and condensation is black mould which can cause respiratory infections and trigger allergies; the key to tackling it is to take action as soon as you see it.The first button lets you cycle through the target humidity in five per cent increments from 40 to 70 per cent. If you have more serious damp issues, then although a dehumidifier can help to reduce the problem and improve the air quality in your home, it won't prevent the damp from occurring in the first place, so it's important to get to the root of the issue. The water tank is situated at the front of the unit and there’s a small window, so you can keep an eye on the water level, but when it’s full the LED light will light up to indicate it needs emptying.

The T-shirts closest to the dehumidifier dried in 3 hours, but those further away took aboutdouble that time to completely dry'. So, if you’re after the smallest dehumidifier on the market, we think the Russell Hobbs RHDH1061G wins the accolade of best small dehumidifier, with good all round performance for its size housed in one of the smallest builds on the market – along as you don't expect too much from that 0. Don’t forget to try Unibond’s lavender or wildflower or waterfall-scented tablets, too, for a unique fresh scent. Just like the ProBreeze 500ml, the Russell Hobbs RHDH1061G’s tiny build does mean that you'll sacrifice powerful performance with this option. Keep it running all day long and the costs could mount up, but this is an excellent dehumidifier for situations where a refrigerant model just won’t work.It’s a super small and compact offering that will sit neatly on any shelf or even the edge of your desk. With a slimline and compact design, it weighs just 6kg, and the built-in handle and castor wheels make moving it from room to room a breeze.

Plus, its Special Laundry Mode is the best we've tested, drying laundry far quicker than most dehumidifiers on the market.Whilst we don't think it can quite beat the MeacoDry Arete One on overall performance, Pro Breeze's latest launch, the 20L Premium Dehumidifier with Special Laundry Mode, is the best dehumidifier for drying clothes that we've tested. This unit will work well in small properties with around three bedrooms, as it has a powerful extraction rate. First up, it's worth making clear that this small dehumidifier has a low extraction rate compared to many others on our list. Finally, we were impressed with the nano silver filter built into the design, which will help trap dust and allergens.
