What we’ve found is that the two best models are from the same brand, EcoAir. Each of the models is quite similar but one has a smaller capacity and the other has a large capacity with additional features.
The dehumidifier weighs 7-kilograms but has a convenient carry handle on the top to lift it and move the unit into position. While it’s highly beneficial to remove the excess moisture in the air, said moisture is coming from somewhere. If the moisture is creating daily problems with condensation or it’s even more concerning with mildew or damp problems appearing, then fixing these issues is important too. 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. We like that this mini dehumidifier can be used in smaller, modern-style houses with bathrooms that have no windows. When you rely on noisy extractor fans for internal bathrooms, it can disturb family members and children when used during the night. Running this mini extractor fan will keep the bathroom damp and odour free while running almost silently. This Small dehumidifier effectively removes moisture from rooms up to 350ml per day, keeping mould and odour to a minimum and creating a healthy and comfortable living environment for you.This model has 6-10 hour timing and auto-off options, which allows the dehumidifier to work within a specified time period. It will automatically switch off when the water collection tank is full. The water tank light will glow red, indicating that you must empty the tank. The Smart Timer feature allows you to run the dehumidifier for between 1 hour and 12 hours, at which point the unit turns itself off. There doesn’t appear to be a defrost detection feature that we could find. The water tank is a large 4.2-litres that thoughtfully has a lid over it to avoid water spillage. However, there’s also the continuous drainage option via a supplied drainage hose. And the anti-tilt protective feature to alert you is nice to have too.
Best practice is to never pull a return on a tank through an AC unit unless you absolutely have to. Refrigerant (or compressor) dehumidifiers are the most common in the UK. They are noisy machines, but do a great job at extracting water with minimal energy usage – particularly in warmer conditions. Refrigerant models rely on passing warm air over cooler coils so water condenses and drips into the tank. Now, four times per hour is pretty aggressive for most areas. What you’ll find is that no matter how big the tank is, it’s probably not going to be as many CFM as what you would expect. If the space is very air-tight, you may get away with more like 2 to 3 air-changes every hour. Dessicant vs Refrigerant Its large 5.5 liters water tank collects the moisture continuously throughout the day. It shuts off automatically when the capacity is maximum to avoid any leak. It also has a drainage hose for additional draining for long-term use. The size of the Dehumidifier is 20cm long, 32cm wide, and 58cm high. The total weight of it is 14.5 kg. Rather than being a compressor or a desiccant, the ProBreeze instead uses peltier technology, similar to that used in some mini fridges, to cool water vapour into water. It’s much quieter than the other methods.The best modern dehumidifiers are durable and long-lasting machines. But any electronic device can develop faults – and dehumidifiers are no exception. It comes with a 10.5-litre daily capacity to remove moisture from the air down to the same 1-degrees Centigrade and up to an improved 40-degrees (over the 35-degrees of the DD1 model). The key words here are “ideal conditions.” For refrigerant dehumidifiers, these conditions are 30 degrees Celsius and high levels of humidity (~80%). Overall, when wanting a smaller capacity dehumidifier for a modest-sized basement and needing a quiet one too, then this model is perfect. The energy-efficiency is also impressive. Lastly, it’s no slouch in the moisture collection department and cleans the air quality while it’s at it too.
In reality, it’s probably a little too powerful for my needs, instead I’d recommend it to anyone with large, open-plan rooms in their houses or a big house with open doors, where it can sit in a hallway. 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.Domestic dehumidifiers can extract up to 25 litres of water per day. We have largely focused on 20l models since these are the most popular for domestic use. For larger spaces, damper environments or colder temperatures, choose something more powerful. (Or vice versa for smaller spaces.) Recently we had a customer that was needing to “hold the blast” on a structure that he was blasting and painting. This is typical when you are doing large tank projects, as it allows you to completely blast the tank, clean up once and then paint. There’s a cloth drying mode that’s handy in the colder months to dry out clothes that would normally get hung out on the clothesline.
The turbo mode gets the dehumidifier running through its paces. Also, there’s an Economy mode that will perform peacefully but still deliver pleasing results. The laundry mode to dry clothes holds considerable appeal too.The AUZKIN refrigerant dehumidifier is a nifty 1-litre tank portable model that’s easier to move around at only a 1.3-kilogram weight. The unit is smaller, and so is capable of up to 450-ml of water collection daily using its condenser approach in basements or rooms at 30-degrees or warmer. This model not only captures excess moisture, but it can filter dust and remove mouldy bacteria too. Let’s put those 2-4 air changes per hour into a real-life scenario. Assume you have some sort of structure that is 30 feet X 25 feet X 20 feet. To calculate the size dehumidifier required is simple… The EcoAir Desiccant Dehumidifier (DD1 Simple) is a 7-litre daily capacity model to collect moisture from the air. It is extremely capable down to 1 degree Centigrade, not the usual 30-degrees and above limitation with refrigerant dehumidifiers. It also works up to 35-degrees Centigrade for hotter days too. Dehumidifier helps people who are suffering from cough and itchy skin as it keeps the throat and nose hydrated and the air clean. It protects the wallpaper from getting stripped off from the wall and prevents the clothes and furniture from getting wet.
