Pro Breeze® 10L Desiccant Dehumidifier with Timer, Air Filter, Continuous Drainage, Digital Control Panel - Ideal for Cold Temperatures in Damp Homes, Basements & Garages

Product Information

As you would expect, this means it has a tiny 0.5 litre water tank - although this isn't a major problem as the maximum extraction is just 0.25 litre per day. Despite the low extraction capacity, it does a decent job of removing water from the air. If you have a mild damp problem or just want a dehumidifier as a preventative measure, it can certainly do a job. If your dehumidifier is old and inefficient, consider investing in a new, more energy-efficient model that will cost less to run. This model has a 10L/day moisture extraction capacity and a massive 3L water tank. It might have a lower extraction rate than the Pro Breeze 12L and 20L but due to it being a desiccant dehumidifier, it will drastically outperform BOTH of these models in low temperatures. A 10L extraction rate can still be considered on the larger end for desiccant types. Reduce Clothing Drying Time: A great way to absorb moisture in the air when drying your clothes—offering a reliable & cost-effective boost to all your laundry-drying needs.

Just like the MeacoDry Arete One, as well as an impressive extraction rate the Russell Hobbs RHDH2002 20L dehumidifier has some great features, including an easy-to-read LED screen that displays current humidity levels and a useful Smart mode that monitors the humidity levels for you, turning the dehumidifier on and off as soon as it rises above the recommended home humidity range between 45%~55% for more economical (and hassle-free) use. There's also auto-shut off functionality when the water tank is full.It also offers Smart App controls, which means you can connect it to WiFi and operate it remotely via the Pro Breeze App or connect to Alexa or similar voice-activated devices. It has a decent-sized water tank capacity of 4L, and an automatic humidity sensor which means you can set your desired humidity level, switch it on, and just let it do its thing.

Once the dehumidifier reaches your desired level, it will then switch off to save energy. The integrated 24-hour timer means that you can decide when you want the unit to turn on and off without having to manually do it each day.

Summary

The cheapest and smallest dehumidifiers on the market can often only extract 0.5L of water from the air per day – in many cases even less – but larger and more powerful dehumidifiers can extract up to 25L per day which can make a huge difference to your home's health if you struggle with damp issues and condensation. It's also important not to confuse the extraction rate with a dehumidifiers water tank capacity. As both are generally measured in litres or millilitres this can sometimes cause confusion. 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 0.3L extraction rate.

Overall the Pro Breeze dehumidifier will improve your air quality and is also lightweight so you can easily move it around your home into your desired position. The unit measures just 6 inches in length and 8.5 inches in height while also weight under 1.5 kilos. Select a dehumidifier that is appropriately sized for your space. Using a unit that is too small will cause it to work harder and potentially use more energy, while a too-large unit will use more power than necessary. It comes mounted onto four wheels so you can easily move it between rooms just by pushing. You can select from three different dehumidification settings on its digital LED screen, including auto, continuous, and sleep mode. The LED display also lets you monitor the current humidity readings, and you can select your desired room humidity between 30%-80%. 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 testCosts as little as 18 p/hour to run: Our energy-efficient dehumidifier has been designed to automatically shut off once it has reached your desired humidity level.

The Pro Breeze 12L Low Energy Dehumidifier is a popular choice thanks to its relatively low price point that makes it one of the best value compressor dehumidifiers you can buy. Operating the device couldn’t be easier with a modern, LED screen featuring a full touch panel for ease of control. Features 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.' Large Collection Tank: Large 3L water tank automatically shuts off when maximum capacity is reached, and a continuous drainage hose is included for long-term use. So, we have seen that energy usage depends on factors such as dehumidifier type, brand and extraction rate. Throughout our time reviewing dehumidifiers, we have noticed that higher-end brands are often more energy-efficient than cheaper lower quality models.For homes that are exposed to lower temperatures, you can feel confident that this dehumidifier is up for the challenge with the ability to operate between 1 and 40ºC. Furthermore, the desiccant technology keeps operating noise to nothing more than a whisper even in colder environments as low as 1ºC. 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. The unit also includes a continuous drainage hose if you don’t want to manually empty the tank then you can connect the hose to your closest drain. It’s also easy to transport due to being mounted on four wheels so you can push it from room to room. 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.
