Challenge 10 Litre Dehumidifier

Product Information

Of course, it doesn’t gather as much moisture as its electric counterparts, but it’s silent, doesn’t use any electricity and is easy to move around, so what’s not to love? And whilst its energy use is low compared to many dehumidifiers on the market, it can't beat the super energy-efficient MeacoDry Arete One in this regard.

This multi-purpose appliance also has an air purifier function with a double filtration system that can remove dust and other allergens from the air, plus a dedicated Laundry Drying function. Plus, the Peltier design makes for low energy use compared to a more power-hungry compressor or desiccant dehumidifier. Dehumidifiers work by removing any excess water from the air and lowering humidity levels, which can get rid of pollutants, mould, damp and allergens. Alternatively, you can drop items at a local recycling centre, or hand them over to retailers that have their own recycling schemes. Dehumidifier sales start to climb as soon as the autumn weather rolls in and our homes start to struggle with damp, and more of us are attempting to dry washing indoors.

There are a few things to keep in mind while you’re trying to decide, such as the size of your home, whether you need dedicated settings such as laundry mode, and even whether you want one with a built-in air filter, which can help to remove irritants from the air, leaving you breathing easier. As well as removing excess moisture from the air, it can also clean the air, thanks to the built-in HEPA filter.

If left untreated, this can lead to unpleasant odours, damaged furniture, mould spots, wood rot, and even structural damage – not to mention the negative impact it can have on your health, with high humidity levels making conditions such as asthma and allergies worse. 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. That's as long as you don't mind accepting noisier operation and higher running costs for its powerful laundry-drying performance.This dehumidifier also has an air purification function, thanks to the built-in UV light and TiO2 filter, which will remove any allergens from the air when the machine is in operation. The unit isn't the lightest or most compact we've tested, but then we wouldn't expect that from a machine this powerful. The type of dehumidifier you choose will depend on the conditions of the space you want to use it in. While it’s not loud enough to really disturb the peace, it’s certainly not one you’d want to leave running overnight in your bedroom.

High humidity often occurs due to excess moisture and condensation, which can be caused by various factors, such as drying your clothes on radiators, as well as leaks and poor ventilation.From these two tests, we work out the average amount of water pulled from the air - we then compare these results to other dehumidifiers to generate our star rating. 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. Compressor, or refrigerant, dehumidifiers work by creating a cold surface so that when warm, damp air comes into contact with it, condensation forms and the water can be collected in a tank. litres of moisture per day in cold temperatures as low as 1ºc, so it's a very useful option for conservatorys, basements or garages that don't have dedicated heating, as well as unheated rooms in the home during winter months.
