Pro Breeze Dehumidifier 1500ml Portable Air Dehumidifier for Damp, Mould, Moisture in Home, Kitchen, Bedroom, Caravan, Office, Garage, Bathroom, Basement

Product Information

The advantage of this type of dehumidifier is that it works well in warm and cold spaces. The only downside is that they tend to release warm air into a room, which you may not want in an already-heated home. However, they are ideal for a cold garage, loft or conservatory as they can operate below 10 degrees, unlike a compressor dehumidifier. They are also much quieter, so they might be a preferable option for you to use in a bedroom. Their main disadvantage is that they use a lot more energy and therefore cost more to run. Refrigerant (compressor) dehumidifier Extraction amount: It is essential to consider the maximum amount of moisture your dehumidifier can extract daily. It can range from anywhere from 500ml to upwards of 30 litres. Small units are fine for occasional use or a small area, such as a cupboard or study. Around 12 litres is suitable for a small flat, medium-sized room or a mild damp problem. Up to 16 litres is best for a larger room or one used regularly for washing or cooking, and units with a capacity of up to 20/30 litres can be used to dehumidify whole homes. Lastly, there's extra functionality to consider. The best dehumidifiers you can buy offer a Smart mode. That means you can leave the dehumidifier running and its sensors will detect the humidity levels and switch the machine on and off to keep humidity within your desired range. That saves energy (and money) as the appliance isn't running if it doesn't need to be. 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.

Most mini dehumidifiers use either 23 watts or 40 watts. As the Pro Breeze 1500ml is quite powerful it uses 40w. We would still consider this quite efficient as it can extract almost double the water as some 23w dehumidifiers. This dehumidifier uses roughly 0.74p of energy per hour, if you left it on for 8 hours overnight it would cost you just under 6p! We would consider this good value for a dehumidifier of this size and damp removing capability. ComparisonType: Compressor Dehumidifier | Extraction amount: 12L | Tank capacity: 2.1L | Dimensions: H42 x W32 x D21.5cm | Weight: N/A | Power: 250W | Cost per hour: 0.8p | Noise level: 45dB | Max room size: 35m²| Laundry mode: No | Warranty: 1 year What we like Overall, it's not the most powerful dehumidifier you can buy, and it can't cope with high moisture levels – we found it made little difference when drying wet washing for example. However, it did a great job of clearing condensation on windows and managing moisture levels in a small bedroom when left running overnight. Like compressor dehumidifiers, Peltier dehumidifiers also use a condensation process to remove moisture from the air. However, they do this via a thermoelectrical process rather than using refrigerant and a compressor, so they're generally a lot quieter and more economical to run. The downside is that they're far less powerful, so Peltier dehumidifiers tend to very small and best for localised areas of moisture – they won't be powerful enough to help with damp in a large room or entire house.

With the cost of living going up, we know that dehumidifiers can be expensive, so we’ve included this mid-budget option from Argos’ Challenge range. Effective, energy efficient and reasonably priced (comparatively), their 12L dehumidifier is reportedly a little noisier than other models, but Mumsnet users and previous customers agree that it does the job! Of course, with the cost of living and climate crisis, it's important to take into account the energy usage of any home appliance, and you'll likely be wondering how much a dehumidifier costs to run. The Pro Breeze 1500ml occupies a very special segment of the market being one of the most powerful mini dehumidifiers. It is the best option for those who need something larger than a traditional mini dehumidifier but do not want a larger model. Features Fan speeds: Some dehumidifiers have just one speed for continuous drying, limiting your control. Whilst others have up to three, which is advantageous if you want to adjust it for faster drying or put it on a lower (and possibly quieter) setting. However, if you're looking for a dehumidifier for use in a cold climate, the EcoAir DD1 Simple MK3 Dehumidifier's 1ºc operating temperature is hard to beat.

If you have a large home with a damp problem, you might be tempted to forgo larger, expensive dehumidifiers in favour of several small, cheaper ones in each room. The problem is that it can be more costly than buying the larger model and much less cost-effective. That’s why we recommend the 25L ElectriQ Smart Dehumidifier as the best dehumidifier for houses with up to six bedrooms. As Chris Michael, Managing Director of the air quality brand Meaco says, inside the home, 'excess moisture in the air can come from drying clothes in the house, boiling vegetables, putting the kettle on, bathing, showering, open flame gas style heating, damp clothing, breathing, and the damp British weather.' ProBreeze states the unit's energy consumption is just 40W. At current energy prices of 30p per kilowatt hour of electricity, that means the ProBreeze 1500ml Mini dehumidifier costs just 1p per hour to run.
