Overview

• Lidl will offer the Tronic Dehumidifier for £74.99 in its Middle of Lidl aisle from Thursday 16 October, with availability limited to in-store stock that may vary by location.
• The model is rated at 245W and is listed to extract up to 10 litres of moisture per day into a 2.1-litre tank, which includes a viewing window and a full-tank alert.
• Functions include a laundry mode, adjustable humidity target between 30% and 80%, auto-defrost, overflow protection, a removable washable filter, a folding handle, and a three-year warranty.
• Using the October Ofgem price cap, running a 245W unit is estimated at about 7p per hour, supporting the case for dehumidifiers as lower-cost helpers for indoor drying.
• Lidl claims shoppers could save up to 78% or £275 compared with branded alternatives, a retailer assertion not independently verified, as experts such as Martin Lewis have endorsed dehumidifiers over tumble dryers for energy savings.
