5 OF THE BEST
1 Silentnight 39899 dehumidifier £45, 0.3L, B&Q
We’ve picked out several of the best small dehumidifiers for our round-up, but if you’re after something ultra-compact – small enough to set on a desk or bedside table, for instance – check out this tiny but powerful mini dehumidifier from Silentnight. Measuring just 23 x 15 x 15cm, it can nonetheless whisk away excess moisture in spaces up to 15 sq m (161 sq ft).
WE LOVE: its three-year warranty for extra peace of mind.
2 Meaco DD8L Junior Desiccant dehumidifier £179.99, 8L, Meaco
This is one of the best-reviewed models on the market, rated 9.3/10 by customers at Curry’s. Although it’s a little taller than some of the other dehumidifiers in our round-up, at 6.4kg it’s a lightweight model that can be moved with ease, and operates well in unheated areas such as garages.
WE LOVE: the energy-saving technology which samples the air around it periodically to ensure it only operates when needed.
3 Princess dehumidifier £149.99, 10L, B&Q
Although the white plastic exterior may seem fairly unremarkable at first glance, look down and you’ll see a handy feature we liked – castors, letting you wheel the machine around easily. The speed settings are controlled via a panel on the top which also features an adjustable timer, as well as a display showing the current humidity and temperature. It’s recommended for spaces up to 15 sq m (161 sq ft).
WE LOVE: its effective operation and portability for ease of use.
